About
Miyabi Uni opened in 2017 under chefs Isao Minami and Hisao Kasama, both trained in Japan and veterans of the now-closed Maruhide Uni Club (2012–2016). Managing partner Shintaro Yano oversees operations. The menu is anchored by over twenty sea urchin preparations — uni chirashi, oysters, and sashimi — alongside a full Japanese dinner menu.
Neighborhood & visiting
Miyabi Uni sits in Torrance, one of Los Angeles's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused sushi counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional sushi restaurants often close between service periods.
