Akatora - Manhattan Beach

The omakase was amazing and everything was so fresh! I didn't even need soy sauce. The service was also great.

Hands down the best sushi I've ever had in my life. Sit at the sushi bar and let the chef do the rest. The creativity of his dishes and the flavors were unlike anything I've experienced before, and it's obvious that they take care when selecting their fish. If you're in the area this is a must, you won't be disappointed.

One of the best sushi place I've tried in my life. And I've been to Japan 4 time already but still, this is the place. I will be coming back next time I stop by LA. The chief had good recommendation, professional attitude, great Sake too. I enjoyed it so much I took the chief custom menu twice. Perfect

Superb service. Fresh and innovative sushi. Delicious sides of caramelized cauliflower and a mushroom dish I didn't catch the name. The spicy miso slightly missed the mark for me but that's what you get when you explore. Certainly not a knock. Highly recommended restaurant. Cozy place.

We ordered omakase, and it was a good meal but it fell shy of being great. The rice was a bit too sour and took away from the flavors of the fish. The most perfect bite I had was actually one where half the rice fell apart and I just went with it. There were some questionable flavor combinations as well but everyone has different preferences when it come to this so I wouldn't criticize too much.
