Octopus Japanese Restaurant---nestled in Manhattan Beach










Octopus Restaurant

Phone: (310) 545-2826

Before heading to the airport for my red eye flight, I was able grab dinner with a good buddy from my college days living in Cerritos now. We decided to go to Octopus which had the basic classics and maki roll. We entered into a basic restaurant space with a sushi bar on the left and we sat at a both. Service was very attentive and our water glass was always refilled. We got the Chilean sea bass marinated in miso (very flavorful and decadent), gyoza (steamed simple and delicious) and I got the sashimi dinner ($22.95) with salad, rice and miso soup. I got 14 pieces of sashimi which were very fresh and delicious----salmon, hamachi, tuna and mackerel. For dessert I got the two scoops of green tea ice cream and my friend got two chocolate mochi ice cream.
