Himawari — Restaurant in City of Long Beach

The sushi I tried wasn't bad but it was a bit dry and flavorless. Also, the slim Asian girl at the counter who took my order during 4th of July was very rude and just slammed down my receipt with a pen on top of a dirty menu that I had to sign. The whole restaurant needs an attitude adjustment and new, clean menus because the current menus would make a health inspector nauseous. The same female server from the front counter treated me like my hands were dirty or something but it's odd that she didn't mind touching the Caucasian couple's hand. I'm Native American Indian by the way, not a savage who is filthy! I'm paying way too much for sushi to be mistreated as a customer! I will never come back here again! I will go get my sushi elsewhere. They have lost a customer for life. They couldn't pay me a million dollars to eat here again! Also, the server just left my food out on a random table, which was risky because anyone could have came in and stole my order, giving a potential thief access to free food that I paid for! What a...

We took take out last night. The servers were polite. The food, besides the diamond roll which was very good, was lame in every way. I know that when you order a spicy roll you take a bit of risk with a new place. The spicy mayo can mask a flavor, so a balance between the quantity of fish and the quantity of mayo is paramount. In this case, we ordered yellow tail, tuna and salmon. 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️ Neither of us could tell which one was what. Or what did we eat. Never mind the roll size was small and petty. But all three rolls could’ve been the same fish because it was smothered in mayo in the mushiest rolls we’ve ever had. They didn’t look good and they didn’t taste good. Yikes! 🤮 With all that mayo, dinner left us hungry and wanting more food. I had hoped for a basic, decent Japanese restaurant. But no love in this kitchen. Too bad, I wanted to like it! The restaurant itself was dark, busy, and had a lingering smell of either fish, nail polish or a combination of both. NOT...

Service was eh. Water glass had something floating in it. Of course, they brought a new glass when we asked... However, service was SO slow. Waited 20 minutes for new glass and didn't get to place our order for at least an hour. In fact, a waitress came over to ask how everything was, as in are we finished and ready to pay... ?! She was surprised when we told her we didn't even get our food yet. She went to check on the order. We had to wait equally as long to get the food. And still, one order had part of the meal brought out WELL after everyone was done eating. All in all, I think our party of 5 was there for 3 hrs.

This aside, once the food got to the table it was very good. I would not go there to eat again, but I might order to go. (Hopefully it was just a busy night and not...
