RetRoll Sushi LBC

Take out sushi! This spot is so cute! For a quicker way to satisfy a sushi craving, this is for sure a great option. If ya blink, you may miss it. Located right next to a small movie theater, and mostly recognized by the A-frame sign out front, is a walk up window to place your order. Food is made fresh while you wait. Took about 10 mins and my order was ready. Although 4th street can get quite busy, I was able to find parking right in front. Quality little place and prices are affordable.

A pickup window sushi joint for your takeout guilty pleasure? RetRoll recently replaced Hippea...and while I was so sad about the change because i loved those falafels, I recently decided to give them a shot during their sushi happy hour and I was not disappointed.I did ask the owner whether he would do an omakase for a budget, but he instead gracefully offered to help me order. I ended up going over budget, but it was worth it.I do wish their happy hour had a few other options (i.e. $2 off any roll) instead of the few rolls they offered, but nonetheless-if you're looking for some takeout sushi, definitely grab some sushi from here. They have a bunch of specialty rolls, as well as some classic ones. I do remember wishing they had a more classic yellowtail roll when I ordered, but either way don't let that deter you. This is a great takeout spot for sushi. Despite missing Hippea, I'm glad this neighborhood spot has come in to take its place and hopefully it's here to stay!

John makes one hell of a sushi roll & my favorite favorite favorite roll is the Hawaiian Roll. I highly recommend ordering it if you're here. Quality rolls & happy hour deals, add it to your bucketlist! Great energy! Outdoor dining area but it's cute & great for dates (hot tip for hot date: pair the meal with some wine from next door).

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Very good quality sushi in an unassuming tiny storefront. While I do miss Hip Pea dearly, I must admit it's nice having a good casual sushi option on 4th St convenient to me. Too bad the two couldn't coexist. I guess Jounetsu Ramen further west on 4th does some rolls but I haven't tried them so can't speak for their quality. The hubby and I decided to get some dinner here on a weeknight and got:Ultimate Roll - basically an omakase roll. The chef asks what you like and assembles something. I told him I was totally open and to make whatever. He asked if I liked eel (I do), and he came up with a roll with an eel base topped with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, crunchy tempura bits, masago, and eel sauce, which I asked for light (I hate goopy rolls). I was very pleased with this roll--it had good quality fish as well as good sushi rice and was assembled with care.Veggie Roll - fresh avocado, cucumbers and carrots with the aforementioned good rice. Simple, but well done. These weren't cheap, but I'd say reasonable for the quality. I'm looking forward to trying more of their offerings soon, like their poke bowls! The hubby was hoping to try some of their other vegan sushi that looked interesting, but according to the chef they weren't doing very well so he's discontinued them--bummer! At least most of the standard vegetarian options are vegan anyway. As with Hip Pea, just the small outdoor tables if you want to eat there--not the best on cold days, so I imagine most people get stuff to go. The chef is very personable and really cares about the food and customer service. I wish him the best and hope this place will be able to stick around!

Delicious. Affordable. Fresh. Made with love. I needed a snack while I waited for the movie to start next door. Have been wanting to try RetRoll for quite sometime. I ordered the spicy tuna wrap, it was cut into pieces like a sushi roll, it was perfect & so yummy! I will be back to order a feast! Nice person helping at the window, awesome chef creating magic.

The quality of this roll is insanely good. The owner was so kind and worked quick. They have lunch specials with $2 off bento boxes, but I just had to try this roll. I definitely will be back to try more out!Overall the prices are very good. Great deals! I highly recommend this place.

Absolutely love this place! There are a few seats outside on the sidewalk during business hours, but mostly a grab n go type set up. The wine bar next door lets you take the sushi there, which makes for a perfect combo! John takes great pride in his work, and it shows. His food to absolutely wonderful and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area. My favorites are the Ultimate Roll and the Salmon Avocado Roll.

incredible food at an incredible price. my friend and i got two bento boxes to share. the salmon avocado roll and shrimp gyoza stood out--the gyoza in particular was some of my favorite i've ever had. the owner is also incredibly kind--i will absolutely be back next time i'm in LB!great music playing too.

Salmon on fire. Hawaiian. Ultimate roll - amazing work of art and taste. Service was fanatic as well. Right next to a wine bar.

i've been back two times since this review and it's always beautiful rolls. I got a Philadelphia roll a couple days ago and it was so good. It melted in my mouth. I also ordered at 7 o'clock when he was supposed to close, but he gladly took my order.10/10 everytime
