When a place calls itself 'Awesome Sushi,' it better live up to the name--and this one certainly does.It delivers on that promise with delicious food, friendly staff, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices. Don't sleep on this spot--you're in for a real treat.

This place shouldn't even be considered a sushi restaurant!!! It's AWFUL - NOT AWESOME. The quality of the fish was horrible. They don't use sushi-grade fish.I ordered my food to go. I should've known not to try it when I saw the ginger and wasabi were packaged from a factory. I ate two pieces of my rainbow roll and tossed out the rest, cause it tasted like bad fish and smelled fishy!!! I hope not to get food poisoning from here. DON'T waste your money at this place.

If you're looking for a sushi spot that truly lives up to its name, Awesome Sushi in Long Beach is it. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a great dining experience.The service here is outstanding. The staff not only provided prompt and attentive service but also seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs. There's something so refreshing about seeing people who take pride in what they do--it's infectious and adds to the overall positive vibe of the restaurant.The food was fantastic, made fresh to order, and always served with a friendly smile. You could taste the care and quality in every bite. The sushi selection was impressive, offering a variety of rolls and sashimi to suit any taste. The menu is well thought out, catering not only to sushi lovers but also to those who might not enjoy raw fish. My daughter, who doesn't typically eat sushi, found something on the menu that she absolutely loved, which made the experience even better for all of us.Although the restaurant is on the smaller side, this only adds to its charm. The intimate setting makes it feel like a neighborhood gem, a place where you can relax and enjoy a great meal without the noise and chaos of a larger venue. It's cozy, inviting, and perfect for a casual night out.Awesome Sushi truly lived up to its name. The combination of excellent service, fresh food, and a welcoming atmosphere made it a standout dining experience. Whether you're a sushi enthusiast or just looking for a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends, this is a spot I would highly recommend. It's a fantastic choice that we'll definitely be returning to.

I wish I would've gotten the waitress name, she was excellent, 5 star service. She is tall and has short hair. Extra special thank you to the chef for this unexpected surprise, we were celebrating a birthday. It made our whole day.

This place is indeed awesome. Came on a late Monday evening and it was busy! Almost all tables were full. We were seated right away and started browsing the menu. There's a large variety of options, but I went straight for the specialty rolls. I ended up getting 2 rolls, one XOXO and one love your smile. Both were fantastic. They came out quickly, and tasted fresh.Overall I had a great experience here and would come back. It's not really cheap, but good sushi places typically aren't. For a reference point, our total was almost exactly $100 after tax and tip. Together we had 2 bottled beers and 4 specialty roles.The restaurant is a bit tight and a little cramped, but the food more than makes up for any discomfort.I'd definitely consider coming back here if in town again.

The tempura and the gyoza were very good. I wasn't crazy about my avocado roll. The rice tasted old. My girlfriend loved her rolls so that was key. I didn't have a lot of options but I've had better sushi at other joints. The happy hour wasn't great either.

Awesome SushiThis place hands down has the best sushi but just located in the worst spot, it's right by the airport and the planes flying over head are so loud. Once inside, you can't hear the planes which it a relief. The staff is friendly and attentive as well. I have only tired the sushi rolls. The sushi is fresh and flavorful. Their menu has different varies to choose from as well. There is a steady stream of people coming in but never packed to where you have to wait for a table.

A long time sushi staple in Long Beach (since 2009), Awesome Sushi has a large menu, centered around their fresh fish, but also having selections for the non-sushi eaters in your party. There are quite a few lunch specials listed on their current and well designed website (check out the 'about us' tab), which is why we stopped in for lunch on a Monday afternoon, soon after their opening at 11 am. It is located in a free standalone building, with a dedicated lot of plentiful parking. Interestingly, they have remnants of a walk-up/pick-up window in the front (was this building a hamburger restaurant in a prior life?), and with the tinted glass not allowing you to see inside, we thought maybe they were either closed or only doing carry-out. But we found the nearby door, and once we entered, were greeted very warmly by the hostess/waitress and guided to a table for 4. There isn't too much seating inside (maybe 8 tables), so could see a wait during dinner time.The menu is large, with a lot of options on a 2 sided laminated 8x14 sheet. We got some ice water, which gave us time to peruse the menu. We placed our order, with the appetizer coming first along with the soup and salad, and then main entrees soon after. By using the Yelp check-in, we got 2 pieces of complementary Mochi ice cream.Spicy Edamame ($6.95) - A generous amount, well-seasoned.2 Item Combo ($15.95 for lunch): beef teriyaki, white fish tempura. Comes with white rice topped with furikake , pre-dressed romaine lettuce salad, fresh cucumber pieces, miso soup. Everything except the soup came in a bento tray, with each compartment filled. The beef was sliced strip steak, generous in quantity and decent quality. The white fish tempura was OK...bit greasy and needing to be eaten right away. It had been topped with various maki sauces, which made it a bit soggy. Probably not the best representation of what they can do with tempura.Seared Tuna Lunch Bowl ($15.95 only available from 11 - 3:30 M-F): Came with 5 thick slices of ahi tuna, nicely seared and seasoned on the outside, very raw on the inside. It sat on a bed of white rice, along with various greens, and a lot of homemade onion strings/straws. The dish was expertly put together, with the preparation of the fish top-notch. The fish quality was good...it's been a while since I've had seared tuna, and this version reminded me that I needed to go back to it whenever I can.Salmon Collar ($10.95) - first time having salmon collar. Have had tuna collar and yellowtail collar before, so wanted to see what the salmon version would be like. It was good, tasted like a salmon steak, except it was a bit more crumbly. There really wasn't any nooks/cranies where you could grab the best tasting fish pieces. Mango, strawberry ice cream mochi. - it was cutely decorated and was a good bite or two to finish off our meal.Service was excellent and full throughout, and the check was given and paid at the table. The value was top-notch. As my wife and I were leaving to walk back to our car, we remarked to each other: "THAT was really good"...made the rest of our day that much better.

Awesome Sushi was awesome. Fresh ingredients, fast & friendly service. Yellow collar: one of the best for the price. Light sear outside, moist, and tender me on the inside. Lots of meat. Roll and sashimi all perfection. Cute location. Visit on weekends before 3:30, there's discounts menu.
