One of the best sushi’s I’ve ever tried. I had to wait a little to get in but it was all worth it. I did visit on a day when they had a limited menu available but that limited menu is better than some other full menus, this means that I am obligated to go back on a day that they have the full menu.
I had one appetizer, two sushi rolls and a dessert. My appetizer of choice was the Rice Cracker Spicy Tuna. Very tasty, nice crunch to it and just the right amount of spice. I then had the Sunset Roll and the Eel roll. Love both of these, they were very fresh and tasty. Finally, I ordered a Frozen Banana & Pineapple. I had tried frozen bananas before but never a frozen pineapple. It was very good and I could have again next time if I am not tempted by their parfaits.
Another thing that I loved about Oriental Breeze was the atmosphere and how welcoming the staff is. It was easy to see how much love they put into their work. I also noticed that there were a lot of Japanese guests having dinner and you know that when Japanese folks go to a Japanese restaurant, it’s because it is legit.

Came by this evening to Redondo Beach pier after 3 years away from LA. We were first mesmerized by the beautiful sunset and the same relaxing vibe of the pier, then were happy to discover this new sushi restaurant. Boy did we have a great time! The restaurant staff including the chefs greeted us warmly. And we indulged in every dish. Having just been in Japan earlier this year, we honestly felt the food brought us back to Japan! Will definitely come back for more!

I’ve been to Japan, but I found the Japanese food there not good. I think it might have been expired or tampered with in some way. The seasoning tasted like it was trying to mask something. All the employees were Japanese women, and their service was terrible. Their attitude was nowhere near the level of hospitality I experienced with other Japanese people when traveling in Japan. It seemed like they either didn’t understand or were blatantly gossiping about the customers. The owner, who appeared to be in his 50s with all black hair and wearing a wig(?),was drinking beer while working. The owner’s behavior was also awful. The bill wasn’t clearly itemized, and it was expensive. I felt like I was dealing with a shady company.
In addition, they were also operating a snack shop “FUNNEL CAKES, ICE CREAM Hotdogs,”next to the restaurant. It didn’t seem to reflect the same standards, but the same owner was cashiering during lunchtime. It appeared they had modified American-Mexican snacks just for profit, lacking any sense of Japanese pride or authenticity in both the snack stand and the restaurant next door.

Great location on the pier above the water for a great spot to enjoy the sunset with authentic and good quality Japanese food. Service is always friendly and they do their best to accommodate you. Order Izakaya style dishes along with a cold draft beer or cold sake for a great time. Try their sushi, some tempura, fried dishes and even ramen!

The food is super nice. Interior actually not bad. The shop is managed by Japanese.
I arrived at 6:15pm and I was the first one at dinner time. The server is nice and offered me a table near the window. The scene is good with magic hour. The food is nice. Sashimi is fresh. The customers are mainly Japanese. Highly recommended.

Wondered in to this place to eat some sushi and enjoy the sunset. We ordered ramen and and a salmon roll. When we got the ramen we started eating it, the ramen was tasting bad, then my wife found a fly in her Ramen. And when we asked for the check they told us to pay for the ramen that we did not eat and asked to take it back to the kitchen. They offered us free ice cream on top of everything and after a little fight they finally removed the ramen from the check. Hospitality was the worst.

Excellent food, excellent service. Loved the spicy tuna on grilled rice crackers and the hot plate chicken and steak. The staff went out of their way to make my sister-in-law’s birthday special. Best churros ever. Will definitely return to try more menu items

It was my first visit there for our birthday (both friend and me). The food was delicious and the sunset was so beautiful from our seats.

Very nice place by the water with good views. Decent service, don’t expect the table’s food to arrive at the same time. Food can take quite some time to come out, but it’s worth the wait. Definately do desserts.

Saturday night dinner, should have beeon’s crab fried rice had 2 tiny shards (presumably crab shell, as it came with half a top shell for presentation). Daughter had Shoyu ramen, which she loved. I had Motsu hotpot. It had a 3 tablespoons of fat chunks, and the pork was unchewable, like overcooked calamari. I would def not recommend that hotpot.
Server and atmosphere (direct view of the open ocean at sunset), were VERY good!
