Sushi Ryokan — Restaurant in Seal Beach

We arrived here at approximately 230pm on a Thursday afternoon. It was not too busy and we were seated right away. We were able to make their happy hour and enjoyed reduced pricing on a generous happy hour menu. Or meal started with their seasoned edamame. It was DELICIOUS! I've had other seasoned edamame that I thought was good, but this one was even better and with a nice kick. Yum! We enjoyed it with sake and a beer. We tried different sushi rolls. All delicious and fairly priced. I would have liked a little more attentiveness. It took a bit of time to get the ginger and wasabi for our meal. They didn't bring it at the beginning as normal. And it also took us a bit to get our check. However since it was my first time, for all I know it could have just been an off day for them. Even with that, when they were serving us, they were nice and not rude so, I still give them high stars. Oh!! And if you're celebrating a birthday, they turn on the disco lights and sing happy birthday. It wasn't ours, but you can bet we sang along!! How fun!!! Honestly, the service wasn't a deal breaker. I'd still go back again for the food and the happy hour pricing. I trust the service will be great...

Worst service I’ve ever experienced. Would give zero stars if I could! There were 7 people in my party because my sisters and I came from the Bay Area to celebrate our aunts 98th birthday. There were 2 meals served, then later another meal was served and then later another 2 more meals were served and by that time the first 2 people were done eating their meals. I finally walked up to a waitress (because no one would acknowledge us trying to get their attention) and told them we had been sitting for a lil over an hour and still hadn’t received the last 2 meals. I was told the meals were coming out. One of the meals was served but not the last meal, which was mine. And by this time the 5 people had finished their dinner and 1 had just started eating her meal (which was sashimi that was served over ice which made the sashimi hard) so I told the waitress to cancel my order! Needless to say we will not going back there nor recommend this place to...

This is the best sushi place I have ever eaten at. the sex on the beach sushi was absolutely delicious. happy hour is from 2:30 to 5:00 pm and the prices during happy hour are great. some of the menu items are a little different and the names are different but it was worth carfully reviewing. The costomer service lost the fifth star. We came in during a very slow service and the happy sweet soft comforting voice of the waitress just wasn't there. I would have to say the guy behind the bar was very freindly. overall as I said before this was the best sushi restaurant I've been to so over look the slight downgrade in service and try this amazing food. I will come back in a few months to see if the customer service has improved if so I will definitely give out 5 stars. Update... It earned it's last star great customer service and...
