Sakai Sushi

So tiny that you might miss it this hidden gem and a strip mall houses some of the freshest sushi. The restaurant itself is quite tiny with 4 to 5 tables and has an intimate feel. The staff are incredibly kind and accommodating. They have a self-serve water machine and they offer complementary green tea packets that you can add to hot water. We ordered several rolls but also nigiri which was served in such a visually appealing way. I was impressed by how fresh the yellowtail was and the superb quality of everything we ate. Would definitely come back!

The service was quick and simple, the sushi was fresh, abundant, and very delicious. Definitely try it out if you are in the area.

Simple rolls, standard quality, no great veggie options. Fish was alright, lots of other option in Cerritos

I had one of their Sushi bento dishes during my lunch. I'd say there's a pretty good variety for one person. Sushi is great. The service was friendly and prompt. Although the ventilation here is a bit poor and it was a little hot in the summer time.

Late post - I wanted to cater sushi for Father's Day. The morning of Father's Day, I placed an order of the 50 piece sushi and Sakai Sushi was able to accept the order and prepare it within an hour. The sushi was good. I recommend this place :)

There's no better way to express our love for Sakai than to say that we've ordered catering from them TWICE for two of our biggest family celebrations since our wedding. That's how GOOD their service and their food is. They provide TRUE high quality food for A TRULY decent price. Our favorites:- Sakai Special Roll (10/10)- Rainbow Roll- Baked Salmon Roll- Yellowtail Roll- Spicy Tuna Roll- Cali Rolls (perfect for the kids)

This used to be our go-to place for sushi before Covid because it was affordable and delicious.I came back today on a whim and noticed things are different. Their $5 rolls are now $7 but it's to be expected with inflation. The California roll is still really good. I can't believe how expensive two pieces of toro nigiri were... and they also ran out of ikura and uni. They still give miso soup but the container is smaller now.

Due to its recent 40% price hike I can no longer stand behind this establishment. Quality surpassed value but now that's just not the case. Quality has gone down as prices have skyrocketed. As many restaurants struggle to find the right balance due to inflation, this one has failed miserably. 2 stars for the miso and salad. On to the next sushi joint.

Good quality fish especially considering the price point. I was not expecting the sushi to be so fresh and tender. The chef/owner was very nice and helped us modify our sushi combo meal. Yellowtail was very delicious. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area!

The food is so delicious. This whole plate is consumed by 5 adults and 3 children. My mom made a bowl of steam broccoli. We had a wonderful dinner.
