Sushi Akatora (CLOSED)

Restaurateur Michael Cardenas named his latest concept after his grandfather’s fishing boat. The corner sushi bar on Manhattan Beach’s northern edge resides under the El Porto Building’s clock tower and touts a tiered wood interior. Aside from their sushi, what should you order here? The red-hued Kobe beef corn dogs, which sport supple coats crafted with three types of cornmeal. The trio fries in soybean oil and comes with whole-grain Dijon mustard and ketchup.
