“My first review!My visit here last night was nothing short of a revelation in the art of sushi dining. Celebrating its 17th year, this gem of a restaurant has not just stood the test of time; it has set the bar for what authentic Japanese cuisine can embody. Though it is not your modern izakaya nor fine-dining luxury, it firmly facets itself as the "OG" restaurant in the diverse Japanese dining scene.Immediately upon entering, I observed details of its classic entity by old decos of art, calligraphy, signs, photos, and handwritten notes. It was an ambiance that exuded warmth. I immediately felt the history and dedication woven into the fabric of this place. The owners have crafted not merely a restaurant but a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer nuances of Japanese culture and cuisine.I opted for the sushi combo course. Each piece of sushi was a testament to the chef's mastery over his craft, with every ingredient shining through in a delicate balance of flavors and textures with a properly curated course. All the nigiri boasted freshness in a blend of tastes that was above satisfactory by the plate.But what truly sets Sushi Anza apart is the heart and soul poured into every aspect of the dining experience. From the attentive, yet unobtrusive service to the meticulous presentation of the dishes, you can feel the love and dedication that the owners have for their craft. It's this personal touch combined with an "aged" ambience that transforms a meal into an experience. In a world where the genuine essence of Japanese cuisine can sometimes be lost amidst fusion and innovation, Sushi Anza stands as a beacon of tradition and quality.Overall, my first visit here was a nostalgic journey through the very essence of Japanese tradition, guided by the hands of those who know and respect it the most. I cannot recommend Sushi Anza enough and look forward to many more visits. I hope to regain the same authentic warmth, excellence, and quality that hallmarks the culinary gems of Torrance.“
“This is now our favorite Thursday night hangout. The service is fabulous. They are so unbelievably accommodating. People are truly friendly. The food is great. I didn’t love the flavor I picked the first time but she brought me out some different sauces to try and wow! Perfect. The seafood has always been on point and I’m a picky seafood eater so it’s truly saying something. They even do the shrimp plain for my 2 year old. She requests Shrimp By You! Super clean as well!“
“Past by this section a few times while at work. Told myself I was going to stop by. Glad I did. . I had no idea that Long Beach Fish Grill was amongst the restaurants here. Once I spotted it I had to dine in since I am familiar with the location in Long Beach on Redondo. The scenery is nice and relaxing. The restaurant is cute. The customer service was great. The place was clean, staff very friendly and the food was great. I was a little disappointed that they didn't serve alcohol. I think the Long Beach location does. My experience was still great.“
“I love seafood and found this restaurant while searching on Google maps.It's located inside a tranquil plaza with plenty of free parking. The restaurant has indoor cozy seating as well as a very comfy covered outside patio. Perfect for California whether!The sad staff is very friendly and cheerful. I ordered, paid, and was givin an order number. It took around 15 min to prepare. Well worth the wait as orders as made fresh.They call your number and you go to the counter to pick it up. There's a self serve salsa bar near the counter.The food is AMAZING!!! Ordered the grilled salmon with garlic butter sauce with side of grilled zucchini and corn, and grilled salmon salad. Both were cooked perfectly, very flavorful, juicy and healthy.Prices were very reasonable.Will be definitely coming back here again and again.“
“When I say the catfish and macaroni salad is ???? believe me. Best fish market I've had in long while and the prices are very reasonable during this time. I would say the only thing I don't care for is the lunch specials not being available all day, but the owners are lovely ppl tho so I approve with a A++“
“Surprisingly really loved the crunch roll ! The shrimp on top was fried in the same seasoned batter & really added a nice taste! The pieces of sole I ordered were very thin however i think If i didn't request for them to be "fried hard" it would've been ok, so that's on me. Would def try again :)“
“The salmon at California Fish Grill is always the best, but I think another thing that I like is the street corn and the zucchini. my go to spot for healthy food and you can never go wrong with it. in this location the inside has a really cool minimalistic vibe which makes for a really nice nightParking: Easy parking but you definitely have to come at the right time“
“I ordered the Fried Shrimp Bowl and I love how the sriracha Mayo packs a great punch with delicious creamy flavor. Pairs well with a coke.The experience was overall very positive! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and the place is super clean. Food was ready within 5 minutes.“
“The seafood is DEFINITELY fresh here and at reasonable prices, I had a 3 person party with drinks it came out to $65. But the quality and freshness was worth it. A MUST TRY PLACE, if you are new or visiting here.Parking: A lot of space for parking.Kid-friendliness: The kids will love chasing the birds or feeding them.Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely accessible for wheelchairs.“
“Evelyn is so sweet and she really does work hard and make the customers food come out fast and efficient. Alma always has a smile on her face and is so pleasant and accommodating and Jorge is very down to earth and makes the customers feel like family. They are a good Management team and their staff is so friendly!Evelyn is very sweet and really works hard to make customers' food come out quickly and efficiently.

“I think most restaurants use some kind of inexpensive fish with the thought that once it's breaded and fried, no one will care. But the Slow Bell's haddock was thick, moist, and cooked just right. The fries were so good bare that I felt guilty using ketchup.“

“Crab-lovers: This place is for you! Best crab shack in SoCal. Colossal selection of live crabs. You pick it, the steam it. Manager is amiable and helpful. Staff are pros with cracking crab. They also leave white paper for you to cover the table. Great view of the ocean. But you have to leave a deposit for their clamps and hammers.“
“I'm giving this place 4/5. The chicken had a Cajun spice that they put on the outside of the breading. Over the chicken wasn't the best but good. The line was kinda long but the food was affordable. I had a 2 pc, small Cajun rice, small soda and sweet potato pie for about $9. The sweet potato pie was great! I'll be coming back for sure, however this is located in the hood.“

“Tastes like Mommas cooking, lots of flavor & love when it comes to making food over here. Shrimp fried rice is excellent, Chicken is not boingy if that nice and crispy. Delicious meals, great customer service, and happy people, How can you not love them ? Definitely Recommend this Restaurant.“
“Came here today and they are delicious!!!! Perfect and crispy and made to order. The fish and shrimp were very fresh and juicy also crispy. I loved the potatoe salad and warm rolls. The chicken tenders were also juicy and tender. The fries were made perfect but just a little too salty for me. I definitely recommend!Parking: Easily accessibleWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible“
“I ordered a three piece lunch with catfish. I also ordered an order of fried okra. I've never eaten here before, but it's kind of a hole in the wall, and I have found that most holes in the wall have the best food! I was greeted warmly, and my order was taken took about 15 minutes. When I got my food, I was very happy. It looked exactly like what I wanted it to look like and then I took my first bite after dipping it in tartar sauce and I was ecstatic. It was delicious it hit the spot perfectly. The tartar sauce was delicious. They only gave me one and I had to go back and get another three pieces of fish really demands to tartar sauce is I went back and expecting to pay for it and he gave it to me. Don't think that they're going to do that for everybody though I was a first time customer you know and I would have paid for another one. The fish is cooked perfectly. The only thing I would say is a little bit more seasoning maybe some lemon pepper but the fish was good and tender. I ordered catfish and it was banging! When and if I am in the area, I will go there again!“
“I decided to eat at this restaurant to try seafood dishes in Fisherman's Village. The atmosphere of the restaurant is above average. Despite some flies hanging out in the tree near the restaurant, I can still see the scenic view from where we sat. For the food, I ordered a lobster roll with french fries, panzerotti (fried pizza), and Raspberry Ice Tea. I am still unsure whether the lobster roll is genuinely lobster due to the lobster-crayfish scandal shown in Inside Edition, but it tasted delicious, creamy, and fresh from the sea. I am highly confident the lobster roll genuinely contains real lobster. The panzerotti was hot when touching this oily dish, but it was cheesy and savory. The filling (ham, cheese, and tomato sauce) complemented together into a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Finally, the Raspberry Ice Tea was sweet and refreshing; I can look at the beautiful ocean while drinking it. The service in the restaurant was A-Level; it felt like a family restaurant to me. Overall, I enjoyed the meals in the restaurant. I would recommend everyone coming to Fisherman's Village to give a shot at this restaurant.“
“The 2 piece strip combo with fries was good. It actually made me full. The vanilla cookie smoothie was good as well. I enjoyed it. It was just missing something else on the combo to give it more taste to the meal. I think just one piece is good enough to order. I honestly got a bit full when i ate the first piece. The hot sauce is good. I appreciate the service here.“
“This H Salt is the best around. I use to go to the one in Inglewood back in the 90s and I was sad when it closed. This one is just as good if not better. Always fresh, I go here often and they never have an off day always on point. The tarter sauce is addicting.“
“Yes, Have been a customer for years! I always get the Catfish Lunch.. It is just enough. The fish is cooked just right! How do they do that! A husband and wife team are the owners.. Nice folks.. You get a side and fresh slices of bread with your meal. Just like down South in the old days. Parking is Free. Limited! Parking on the street. Oh, you may eat there, but small area. Take to go and enjoy your meal with a nice glass of wine. ?No public bathroom and pay with $ Cash.. Bring cash! Smile.. Drop in and Note: You will Enjoy! Don“
“Had a great meal with a group of friends here today. We had a group of about 30 with a bit of a classic car show before the meal.Restaurant staff were fantastic, food was too notch! I had a traditional fish and chips and they served it with a bottle of malt vinegar on the side. That's how it should be and I was impressed!The food was great, entire group orders taken and served quickly with no short cuts, everything was prepared properly and tasted great. Drinks were continually topped off and servers were a cheerful happy bunch.We were made to feel welcome and we enjoyed the whole experience.“
