Hands down the best sushi I have had in a very long time. Amazing dishes and great service. It was a perfect night to sit outside, sip plum wine, and enjoy some wagyu beef cooked at the table. 1st time here, definitely won’t be the last.

Cute place to eat and I love the sushi so much! Wagyu sushi is a must try, I love the spicy tuna on crispy rice, sake flight is a fun option too. I don’t have many pictured but I also loved the truffle salmon, and if you love spicy like me, the Kyoto Kryptonite is a must. I come here everytime I’m in LA! Oh, and love the spicy tantan!

Stumbled upon this place during Happy Hour, 3pm-6pm. Ordered the Jessica Albacore roll which was delicious. For an app, I got edamame from the Happy Hour menu. Although, I would have preferred the spicy garlic, it wasn’t included for HH. Also, I ordered the Serrano Yellowtail which was extremely good, 10/10. I highly recommend it if you don’t mind the heat. Lastly, they had a great deal for hot sake and Kirin Light for HH.

Fun traditional sushi with a twist. The flavor profiles are inviting and refreshing. Would like to return to try more. Very warm staff and overall service.

Japonica is a great spot to come to for dinner during happy hour (3-6pm). The happy hour menu has 4 rolls to choose from: spicy tuna, salmon skin, bumblebee tuna and shrimp crunch. Some appetizers are seaweed salad and edamame. The sushi tastes great here especially at the reduced happy hour price. We always get a couple beers and take care of our sushi cravings.

As much as I was excited there was a somewhat-new restaurant on Main Street in El Segundo, I was pretty disappointed with the actual sushi.

5 / 5 experience for sure. Showed up for happy hour, Connor (I think) was our waiter, the blonde dude, very nice on top of it. Food came out super fast. I thought food was great, split the Brussels and the shrimp crunch roll with my wife. Whole meal was like $18 at happy hour, that’s a pretty solid rate these days.
