Oriental Breeze

My daughter and I went today. Out of the several times we've visited Redondo Pier we've either come before they were opened or they were already closed, we were super excited today that we were able to make it while they were open. Today would have been my daughter's first time trying sushi except she couldn't finish the California roll and spat out the whole thing into the napkin. I am so happy that she did because I ended up with food poisoning about an hour after we left the restaurant. I only had the California and Spider Roll which means it was something in one of those two rolls that made me sick since those were the only ones t I ate. This was the only food I had today so we know that it was this place that got me queasy. They get one star for the service and the atmosphere, the whole reason you come to a restaurant is the food and besides the food poisoning it's just not the best sushi, the rolls were incredibly loose and they fell apart when you try to pick them up. I don't feel like my bar for sushi is super high I've never been to Japan to have authentic sushi and my idea of amazing sushi is Crazy Rockin' Sushi. So really they just had to not give me food poisoning to be considered good sushi. I currently have gurgle guts that I will have to live with for the next day or so and I'm at home throwing up. I really wanted to like everything here, the sushi looks really good until you tried to pick it up or eat it. Maybe we just caught them on a really bad day. We definitely won't be back not when there's better sushi for way less money not set in a tourist trap.

I have eaten at a lot of Japanese restaurants, I love Japanese food! This restaurant is the best I've ever personally been to! I loved the selection on the menu. It all looked so delicious and authentic, way more interesting of a selection than most Japanese restaurants I've been to before. I tried the octopus with wasabi and the Japanese beef, and shared house hot sake with my friend. I wanted to try everything on the first few pages of the menu!! The wasabi was the real deal too. I am thoroughly impressed and pleased. I wish I could eat here every night!

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.

Right on the pier! Excellent sushi! Excellent service! Good prices.
