Great local family owned sushi restaurant. Takeout only, and best to phone order, as they can run out, especially around holidays. Small, hole in the wall, with great, fresh sushi. All my friends and family love when I bring it.Parking: Small parking lot, but plenty of street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Since they changed to takeout window in back, they now are wheelchair accessible.

I felt like I am in Japan. The surroundings like tree and architecture were so Japanese. I ordered 20 pieces mix which includes everything on their menu. Their sushi tastes very original and authentic. The sushi rice was next level. It has chewy and sticky texture which balanced well with other ingredients. I was glad that I ordered sushi box because I loved the aesthetic packaging and the color combination of mix sushi. Beautiful!

This is the true definition of a hole in the wall. Literally just a window to order from, no dine in. But this place is obviously doing something right, cause they’ve been running for 60 years!! Very nice people. Their menu is simple—choose how many pieces you want and mix and match the ones you’d like. I got 10 pieces with 6 saba and 4 others just to try. Very solid meal, but a little heavy on the rice. Parking lot is huge.

One of Gardena's hidden gems everything is fresh, made to order if you are familiar with Sakai sushi you know it's best to call your order in it will save you some time also this is a CASH only establishment however there is a atm across the street in the bank or Japanese supermarketFood: 5/5
