    We really enjoyed our lunch at Asaka today, food was delicious and the service was great. We sat outside on the patio, indoor and outdoor seating available. The Riviera Village can get very crowded on the weekends, the building Asaka is in offers parking around back. We ordered two bento boxes one salmon and one teriyaki chicken, great flavor. You have to try.

    New Management!!! Awesome service, bigger portions, and ample seating for larger parties. The actual dish size, like the size of the plate itself, is ginormous and takes up too much room on the table. Otherwise sushi quality has improved, as well as portion sizes.

    Service was awful. Person who sat us was stern and literally hit us with menues when they were putting them down in front of us. Ordered the chicken and it came out cold. No service for refills or to check up on me or my group. Had to literally go up and ask for refills because the server wasn’t checking on the table and instead avoided us. We sat in between 2 uncleaned tables and the tables were never cleaned. Service was absolutely terrible and food was mediocre and chicken came out cold. Not going to eat here again. Do not recommend.

    The food was delicious and was presented beautifully. My only complaint is that they seemed to struggle with the rush and the fact there were two larger groups (5+ people). It was over an hour before all of us received our food. This was my first time there so they may have just been low staffed that night.

    This is in a great location and the food was pretty good. Servers were friendly although service was just a little slow on a Saturday night around 7:30pm. Some seating is joint table....so not private in all spaces. But environment overall is really nice. We will be back.

    Update: I stopped by yesterday for much. Gracious owner checked on me and my dogs as I ordered some grilled chicken for my two dogs as we were far from home after hiking in PV. Had fried oysters again ... Delish And sushi which was delicious! I stopped by as I was craving some sushi. I have been before and food has been good. Today was just as good. Salmon sushi was fresh and the frier oysters oh my. So good. Excellent service and I so appreciate they were cool with my emotional support dog sitting with me at outdoor dining. Thank you!

    The food here is wonderfully tasty and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the mackerel and saltwater eel. We also ordered the dumplings and side salad that were just perfect. The best Sushi dining experience in South Bay so far. Will definitely be back again soon. Really happy we made the decision to stop here.

    WORST Restaurant in the South Bay. Last week I went for dinner but all went BAD! I parked in the back parking lot (approx 15 parking spaces with 2 cars parked) and ran next door to grab a cup of coffee while I waited for my wife to show up. By the time she got there I learned the Management had towed my car! Are you Kidding me? Two hours later and $337.50 to get my car out of Impound in Gardena. No explanation from management!! The day after they put up NEW Tow Away signs. Stay away from this place and these BAD people.

    Used to love this place under the prior owner. The patio is dog friendly, which is a big plus, but the food quality and service have declined a bit recently.

    Been coming since we moved to thaw area more than 12 years ago. It's great sushi and you can't beat the view. It's a caring staff, the service and food are consistently good. You will won't regret a stop here.

  • 4/5 kagaya u. 2 years ago on Google
    To whom it may concern, This location has a very friendly atmosphere. It is always very clean. They have the best takoyaki Los Angeles County. My wife and I enjoyed their service. The older woman that might be the manager or owner is extremely kind and attentive. We love this location for the food and customer service. One thing that I would suggest is for them to carry Heineken 0.0 for non-alcoholic beer drinkers.

  • 5/5 Vladimir K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great dining experience. Their sushi are very fresh and well made. The rice is cooked properly and lets one enjoy a perfect balance of the rolls and classic 🍣

  • 4/5 Dyron W. 9 months ago on Google
    This is my go-to spot! They always shower me and my guest with gratitude least not mention great food. I'm not going to tell you what to order because I've never been disappointed by any of the new dishes I've tried. I definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Filo L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere. Absolutely wonderful food. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. We sat outside on the patio and didn't feel crammed up close to any other table. It was an all around enjoyable experience. Beginning to end. Highly recommend this place. Cant wait to go back.

  • 5/5 barbara e. 2 years ago on Google
    I really like this place. They are very friendly and helpful. They have a nice patio, so Covid might not be such a worry. That is all very important, but most of all the food is very good. I always get the Tempura Shrimp and Vegetables dinner. As I recall, soup and salad come with it. Parking can be tricky in Riviera Village, but it helps that Asaka is at the far end, not in the middle crush of all the other restaurants.

  • 5/5 Ray H. 4 years ago on Google
    in town briefly, staying at a local Redondo Beach hotel... had an urge for sushi but didn’t want to drive. found Asaka Sushi and Grill online. placed an order and waited for delivery. delivery was super speedy! food is amazing!!! so glad I chose them. everything was fresh, fresh, fresh. miso soup is perfect. sashimi and sushi hit the spot! definitely try the spicy chopped scallop roll, you will not be disappointed. without a doubt, we will be ordering here next time we’re in town. Thank You!

  • 5/5 Melessa H. 4 years ago on Google
    Great sushi at great prices. The food presentation is always pretty and the service is good. The patio is dog friendly and being situated in the beautiful Riviera Village, you just can't go wrong.

  • 1/5 Jesse H. 4 years ago on Google
    Overall the experience I had at this restaurant was pretty bad, I would not recommend this place to anyone. (One Star for service/management) The play by play - First, it took a good 20 minutes to get menus and water. When we finally were able to order, we realized we had gotten our sushi rolls approximately 90 minutes after we arrived. However, one individual had ordered non-sushi and this dish came out right away. Leaving one person with food and 8 others with nothing for over 45 minutes, we asked if they could reheat the food in which they refused. When the rolls did slowly come out, the server had messed up one of the rolls, when they were informed about the mistake they had said sorry and gave it to us for free but the actual order will be very late because now it’s at the ‘back of the line.’ resulting in one person to get their food during dessert (now 2 hours later) but when it came out the second time the order was still wrong... by then it was time to go home. Thank you for taking the price off of the one sushi role you messed up on twice and over 1.5-2 hours late on. Also, thank you to the lady who was always smiled and apologized for all the mistakes and waiting, compared to your other coworkers. If you had a suggestion box - you don’t need the flower/paper/leaf decorations for the sushi rolls. You might save time? That’s not why we like to eat sushi rolls. We want quality fish and rice in a timely manner :) Disclaimer - they apologized for being under staffed. They seemed to have 3 sushi chefs and about 4-5 individuals running the floor but sure what a ‘normal Saturday night staff for this place should be’ So, this rating may be more towards the management staff and not the sushi chefs. Sushi was good, just unfortunate we spent 2+ hours at a sushi restaurant waiting for 75% of it.

    I've ordered takeout/pickup a could of times on Postmates and the food has been great. Might just be the hours I was there, but all 3 times the place has been fairly dead inside with like 2 customers.

  • 5/5 Susan D. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent quality sashimi and sushi. Beautiful presentation. Great service.

  • 5/5 Michael M. 4 years ago on Google
    Since the new ownership this place is great for the price. I am glad it's in the neighborhood. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Kason R. 4 years ago on Google
    At the first moment you step in this place the waiters give you a great feeling. Very comfortable crew, it is a lovely restaurant to hang out with buddies or with your date. enjoyable food, experienced chef de cuisine, competitive price and professional service. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Andrea M. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was pretty but a bit pricey

  • 2/5 Petra S. 3 years ago on Google
    This place used to be absolutely amazing but they changed ownership and it’s just not the same. They try hard but the service is just always sooo slow. They need more staff on. I get it that they are trying to save labor but you can’t sacrifice service. I mean it’s really really slow. The cooks smoke outside and that looks disgusting. As far as the food goes, it’s actually really good and the prices are great too but all in all, it’s just not up to par. The one in Palos Verdes is privately owned and is better run. And they don’t allow dogs anymore! Every other restaurant in South Redondo allows them in their patio except this place.

  • 5/5 Jeff W. 3 years ago on Google
    The Sushi Burrito is epic. You will thank me. You're welcome.

  • 1/5 Tony S. 3 years ago on Google
    Beware, the menu prices are wrong. Regardless of whether you download their menu from their website or use the Google menu, once you arrive at the restaurant you'll see that their sushi prices are actually DOUBLE. (online menu is 2 pc per order, in person menu is 1 pc per order, but they don't tell you when you order) Server blamed the "new management" and said it was up to them whether they wanted to fix their website menu. Apparently the correct menu is on Yelp.

    Excellent sushi. We've been here several times and tonight was the best.

  • 2/5 Emily B. 4 years ago on Google
    I ordered over the phone and was told it would be a certain price and when I arrived to pick up the price had grown exponentially. Furthermore the food was below average.
