Japonica Redondo Beach in Redondo Beach

My daughter liked her food, she ordered ramen and liked it. Noodles were yummy - thick and chewy but they were in fish sauce! As a vegetarian, I didn’t find many options that I liked. Three stars from me because of that. Nice place, good service!

One word, excellent. Service, food, atomosphere. Excellent. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. Our server Craig was super helpful with suggestions on sushi and sake. Plum sake was a delicious aperitif. Try the White Lightening. TRUST ME you will not be disappointed. Its #1 for a reason. It literally melts in your mouth. The butter sauce is so delicious. The ramen is definitely some of the best Ive had a while. Outdoor seating is available. Not too long of a wait. Would highly recommend this place. If youre in the Redondo area, check this place out.

Amazing atmosphere. Servers were informative and attentive. We started with Chicken Gyoza which was very tender and juicy. We then had the California roll, rainbow roll and the Braveheart. Very flavorful and delicious. Would definitely recommend. Ended the meal with mochi. Top notch!

I like the hermosa beach location more but this one tends to be less busy and have easier parking. They have really good rolls, unique and made with good quality ingredients. Service is good.

Came here with some friends.Tried rolls id never heard of.The presentation was excellent, fresh sushi, a variety of rolls that are new and exciting from typical.Loved the appetizers too.Staff and servers were friendly and accommodating. Food came in timely manner.Priced accordingly.Great environment.

My girlfriend and I came Valentines morning and had the restaurant to ourselves. Sushi was fantastic, some of the best we’ve ever had (reasonable prices too). I didn’t get the host/manager’s name but he was awesome, very attentive and friendly. Do yourself a favor and try the smoked soy sauce! 10/10 would come back again

Pretty tasty, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Good variety of menu items; everything we had was super delicious and definitely worth every penny. Japonica also has a pretty good happy hour before 6pm (check if on the weekend too).

Despite this place being an American owned sushi place, I will have to say that it was a amazing experience. (FYI I critiquing my food with high expectations so just note that I just have high standard) The server and other runners took care of us and were attentive while we were eating. The server also provided us with recommendations on the rolls. The short grain rice that was used was well-cooked and seasoned which complimented the fish. The bluefin samurai roll had a slight char and freshness which made it 8.5/10. For the Kyoto Kryptonite roll, I have got to say that if you like the crispy tuna, then this is the roll to order because it pretty much tastes like it. 7.5/10. Crispy rice was pretty good, but I just prefer it to have less rice so that I have more of the crunch than the mush from the rice. 6/10 The sushi was fresh and good with the rice. 9/10Overall, everything was good and will return to try different rolls.

This is my favorite ramen I’ve tried in LA. The standard miso sesame broth is creamy and super flavorful without being too salty. The egg noodles are thick and have a chew that I loved. I got the pork but the beef is also so delicious. The menu doesn’t flood you with options on the menu like most ramen places so you don’t get choice fatigue. Lastly staff was happy to help us and the atmosphere was clean and warm.

Absolutely amazing food. Probably the best Japanese food I’ve ever had. Can‘t recommend enough, we‘ll be back!
