Best Japanese Restaurants in Lakewood / Bellflower

Great experience, the ambiance was lovely. The bartenders are super invested in the experience and drinks they make. We had four cocktails altogether and they are all delicious (more spirit forward: The Nutorious and Hibiki Old Fashioned. Other cocktails: Astro Boy and Drunken Tiger). We also had the edamame which was literally the best edamame we've both ever had. It was roasted and had a delicious lemon and chile taste. I loved their music too, they played old hip hop and rap that was super vibey.

The place was packed (Saturday night), but we were seated promptly and experienced excellent service. Darren did a great job as our Teppanyaki chef. This Benihana is located within a large mall with many interesting nearby places, such as Handel's homemade ice cream.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at King’s Fish House in Long Beach, and it was an experience worth sharing! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm that set the tone for the evening. Our waiter, Francisco, truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable meal. His attention to detail and genuine care for our dining experience was evident throughout the night. He not only kept our glasses full but also made sure our table was clear of any clutter. It was clear that he and his co-workers were well-trained and worked seamlessly as a team, making sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. One of the highlights of our visit was the tranquility of dining on a Monday night. The restaurant was pleasantly less crowded but had an abundance of attentive staff. This perfect combination allowed us to enjoy a leisurely meal, where we didn’t feel rushed and could savor the delightful seafood offerings. The menu at King’s Fish House is a seafood lover’s dream, with fresh catches and expertly prepared mouthwatering dishes. Every bite was a testament to the quality and freshness of the ingredients used. With each savory dish, it was apparent why this place had such a loyal following. I wholeheartedly recommend making a Monday night reservation at King’s Fish House. You’ll benefit from the superb service and delight in a more relaxed atmosphere that allows for great conversation and enjoyment. With a stellar team like Francisco and the rest of the waitstaff, it’s clear that this location prioritizes a top-notch dining experience. In short, King’s Fish House in Long Beach exceeded all expectations. Between the delicious food, attentive service, and the perfect ambiance, it’s a place I look forward to returning to week after week. Thank you, Francisco and team, for an unforgettable evening!

The vent at the tepan table we were on wasn’t working so all the smoke was in our face. Other than that the cook was awesome and food was good.

food was great but service was slow. We spent a lot time waiting for meat to come out.
