    Everything I ate was outstanding. The sushi is fresh and full of flavor and left me feeling satisfied. The staff is exceptionally attentive. I sat at the bar, which I don’t like, but the chairs are solid and comfortable. Can’t say enough about this gem - I’ll definitely eat here more and more.

    We were visiting from out of town and we were thrilled with everything. So delicious, very quick and wonderfully unique. We have been to Peru, and love it their varied cuisine. If we visit Long Beach, we will return for sure!!!

    Sushi Nikkei is one of my favorite spots. It never disappoints. Excellent quality ingredients, amazingly fresh fish, expertly prepared with their signature Japanese Peruvian flavors, friendly staff and a cute space / atmosphere. It’s really tough to beat this place.

    Best sushi around. Fish is top notch. If you haven't been before I definitely recommend the Nikkei tasting. You get 2 pieces each of 4 of their signature sushi.

    Reserved a table for 3 for a birthday and was seated at a tiny table meant for 2 with mismatched chairs from inside and outside squeezed along 3 sides of it. The table was pushed up against a glass sliding door with other guests were squeezed right up to it. It was very awkward to be so close to other guests, facing them directly with only the glass wall and a few inches of space in between us. I asked for a different table, but they said they had full reservations for parties of 4 so could not accommodate, but I saw other parties of 3 comfortably sat at those tables. My suggestion is to have less seating so each table is more comfortable since this is a upper scale fusion sushi restaurant. It made the entire experience uncomfortable. I said ahead of time that we had a birthday to celebrate but it was not acknowledged at all. I was told that we would get mochi ice cream at the end but did not and I was over it by then. The cebiche was really really really good, but a very small portion for 17$. It carried the whole meal. The sushi was ok- on the smaller end and ok quality. Not many allergen free options (dairy, gluten, egg). Most of the rolls have fried shrimp so we did not get any because we wanted a light meal. Not sure I would go again. Maybe just for the cebiche and only with 2 or 4 people.

    The food is great. The server we had was good. Only one item was slow to come out. He checked on it several times and made sure we got the last roll. My complaint is that we were squeezed into a table that didn’t have enough walkway space. The hostess made us feel awkward because I didn’t want people to have to squeeze around my chair to serve the other tables. The interaction really soured my experience. I wish you would always leave appropriate walkways rather than shoehorn one more table in. I saw another guest who had less than 12” between the table and the window behind him. It’s clearly a habit. I noticed this last time I came a few months ago too.

    We had been there before and we’re thinking next time, we’ll visit their other location due to this visits poor customer service. One waitress dropped the wrong plate at our table, allowing it to sit there for about a minute before she came back to say it wasn’t ours, only to pick it up and place it on the table next to us. We’ve worked in restaurants before, this is considered cross contamination. We ordered 4 plates, 3 of them coming out very quickly and for our last plate to come out, it to became very obvious that our waiter had forgotten to put in our last order. Instead of owning up to it, he blamed the chefs and said “it’s because everyone is ordering rolls right now so it should take another 15-20”. We waited about 30-40 min just for our last roll to come out. The food is great, but the lack of attention to detail from the staff is what made this visit a poor one.

    My friend enjoyed her food but because I can't have gluten I could really only have sushi and sashimi so if you're gf maybe go elsewhere if you want rolls. The fish was fresh and delicious but the slices were a little thin.

    Every dish we ordered was incredible visually and taste. We each took turns ordering the next plate and had a great time just experience new tastes to a familiar cuisine. Staff was very knowledgeable about the dishes and very attentive to our group. Definitely will become a regular to our nights out.

    Food was delicious, every dish was very aesthetic with layered textural components. We were a party of 3 and seated at a somewhat small table and wish they had a cocktail menu! Food was amazing though which made up for these minor shortcomings.

    Best sushi I’ve had in Long Beach for sure - and the best in LA that I’ve had in recent memory. The Peruvian-Japanese fusion is incredible and the flavor profiles taste fresh and very authentic. Unlike anything I’ve had. Fish is superb! A MUST TRY.

    The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried we loved and we ordered a lot. The only downside was our waitress who we liked had to leave and after that we were sort of forgotten. But not anyone’s fault and we loved it and would go back.
