"I'm not a vegetarian, but my wife is vegan, so we were really excited to find an udon shop with a vegan option. We went to the restaurant, confirmed that they could make a fish-free, meat-free broth, and had a great meal. We returned again and, this time discovering some kamuboko (fish cake) in the broth, but they apologized, swapped it for new soup, and everyone was, once again, very happy. Yesterday we went for visit number 3, and the vegetarian waitress informed us that they do not have a veggie broth option. She checked with the kitchen, and as she suspected, we've been eating fish broth the whole time. This is really unfortunate, because the previous review and the assurances of the staff had billed it as a rare vegan-friendly standout. My wife opted for some veggie sushi, edamame, and tempura veggies (apparently, there's no egg in their batter), and we still had a great time. The owner is a really attentive, nice man, and the staff is great. For you carnivores out there, the sushi is also excellent. Just watch out for the broth if you're a vegetarian/vegan."

UNACCEPTABLE HYGIENE!!! I used to be a regular at this restaurant because the food is delicious, but after today's experience, I won't be coming back. I ordered takeout, and as I was...

I had a terrible experience and couldn’t stop burping all night! I won’t be coming back. The rolls were basic and nothing to write home about, with bland flavors. I’ll stick with my favorite sushi restaurant instead!

We absolutely love coming here. The owner is hands on with everything and works really hard to give everyone of his guest a great experience. The staff knows us by name and are always remembering our order. James and John are our favorite sushi chefs in Long Beach! Sushi is always fresh as well. Highly recommend Sushi Kara! View menu

This was our second visit to Sushi Kara, and it was just as delightful as we remembered. We ordered the udon noodle soup with tempura vegetables (substituting shrimp for tofu) and a grilled vegetable salad. Each dish was delicious! The owner, Song, is incredibly friendly and gracious, making our evening special. He surprised us with a unique vegan vegetable roll made from asparagus, squash, and some secret ingredients, all wrapped in rice paper. Each dish is presented beautifully and artistically, making it almost too pretty to eat. I highly recommend supporting Sushi Kara—you won’t be disappointed!

Yesterday, on our third visit, a vegetarian waitress informed us that they didn't have a vegetarian broth option available. She checked with the kitchen and, as she suspected, they were still serving fish broth. This was disappointing, as we had previously been assured that the restaurant was a rare vegan-friendly find. My wife ended up choosing vegetable sushi, edamame, and tempura veggies (apparently with no ice in the batter), and we had another enjoyable experience. The owner is a genuinely attentive and kind man, and the staff is fantastic. For those carnivores out there, the sushi is also excellent. Just be careful with the broth if you're vegetarian or vegan!

This was our second visit to Sushi Kara, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered from our first experience. We ordered the udon noodle soup with tempura vegetables (they typically replace the shrimp with tofu) and a grilled sweet salad. The flavors of each dish were fantastic! The owner, Song, is incredibly friendly and gracious, making the evening truly special. He even surprised us with a special vegan sweet roll, filled with asparagus, squash, and other secret ingredients wrapped in rice paper. Each dish is presented beautifully and artistically, making them almost too lovely to eat. I highly recommend supporting Sushi Kara and giving it a try. You won't be disappointed! View menu

Yesterday, we returned for a third visit, and the vegetarian waitress informed us that they don't have a vegetarian broth option. After checking the kitchen, she confirmed that they primarily use fish broth for their dishes. This was quite disappointing, especially since previous reviews had highlighted the restaurant as a rare find for vegan diners. My wife ended up ordering Veggie Sushi, Edamame, and Tempura Agedashi (which, as the staff confirmed, does not contain any eggs in the batter), and we still had a great experience.
