Adorable Mini Bowls Full of Surprises! 🦀✨

Visited a hidden Japanese gem today that seems totally under the radar~ Located in Long Beach, I was drawn in by the oyster sign out front 🤩 and decided to give it a try. Spotted a "Chef’s Choice" section on the menu—the chef curates a selection based on seasonal fresh ingredients. You get a set number of sushi pieces at a set price—around $20–30, pretty affordable~ It’s got that omakase vibe like in Japan! ✨ The freshness is absolutely unreal—the sweet shrimp were still swimming in the tank 🦐 The server called me over and said if I wanted to try them, the chef would scoop them live right in front of me! You can sit up close and watch the whole process‼️ Wanted to order oysters, but they were unfortunately out of stock 😅 Next time then~ Ended up getting uni and large scallops instead—so good! 👍 You can order a set of 6 pieces or just a few individually—I got two to satisfy the craving and they were super fresh~ Two standout dishes I highly recommend: 🦀 Crab Sushi Combo – Absolutely fantastic! Four varieties: salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and snow crab meat—each bite is bursting with freshness. You wrap them yourself in nori and add fresh wasabi 👍 A bit pricey but totally worth it. 🍚 Mini Donburi – You can choose salmon or tuna, topped with ikura over rice. It’s a single-serving portion served in an ice-cream-cup-sized bowl—so cute! Perfect for a light meal—satisfying but not too filling. 🍱 Also ordered two rolls because of a great deal—second roll half price! 👍 Avocado Salmon Roll & Soft Shell Crab Roll~ Taste-wise they were decent, but portions were huge—saw a neighboring table of foreigners order multiple plates! The staff recommended a unique "Spicy Fried Roll" 🔥 The outside is crispy-fried—my first time trying that texture—really surprising in a good way! Overall, a delightful experience—the lighting, decor, and atmosphere gave off a date-night vibe 💫 If you’re visiting Long Beach, definitely worth a stop ✅ #LifeAbroad #FoodExplore #JapaneseCuisine #SushiSpot #FoodShare #LAEats #SushiLovers #RestaurantReview #LifeInUSA #HiddenMenu #ChefsChoice #FreshSeafood #LongBeachEats #OmakaseVibes #CozySpot #DateNightIdea
