This strikes me as a Japanese-American Cheers. Seemed more like a bar than what we were looking for. Parking is on the street. I think any reviews with food or parking mentioned were talking about a visit to the other location in Gardena/Torrance.

Such a cozy neighborhood karaoke bar, most interesting was that the food menu was like a full restaurant menu. We came in on a Sunday evening so it was not busy at all, we chose a good sized room which was perfect for hubby and I. The songs were decent I was relieved that they had some new songs, they have Chinese, Japanese and Korean songs which are great for Asians. We ordered two bottles of small cold sake and pitcher of Sapporo, some food to share like wings, rice balls and takoyaki. Food was really delicious that we were surprised, drinks were reasonably priced, if you order enough food and drinks they wave the room fee too. The happy hour deals are great so it's good for locals to drink and sing. Glad we decided to try a local Japanese karaoke bar in South Bay, we really liked this place and would like to come here from time to time!

This karaoke bar is probably own/run by the Japanese. Their menu has many Japanese food, finger food, including Sushi. Drinks are offer with many selections of Japanese alcohol. I love Japanese beer and that was the drink I ordered with a few snacks. The setting of the bar is pretty standard, it has a few TVs in the area of the bar where customers pick songs and sings (Karaoke). Quiet a lot of choices of Japanese songs in addition to Western songs. Customers are enjoying drinks, eating, mingle/talking, & singing. Good place to hang out after work and spend times with your friends or co workers. They also provide rooms for special or private function. Its good if you do not want to be bothered with other customers/strangers. Esp. If you sucks in singing. I will say that many of the customers are pretty confident singing at the bar area. Good thing Simon Cowell from American Idol is not there... otherwise, he is gonna say its a "NIGHTMARE" If you want to relax, drinking, spending time with your friends, and practice your singing skill, its a good place to be. Go ahead and give it a try. Foods and drinks are pretty standard. Place is safe. Price is quiet reasonable. Services are good.

I had such a great experience here that I already know I'll be back!…read more I ordered the chicken katsu curry plate, gangjung, a katsu sando, egg sando, and the strawberry sando, and every single item was delicious. The chicken katsu was the standout~ it was perfectly light and crispy on the outside while staying incredibly juicy on the inside. It had amazing flavor even on its own, but paired with the katsu sauce, it was absolutely next level. The rich curry sauce was also fantastic and went perfectly with the rice, making every bite satisfying. The gangjung was another winner, with a great crispy exterior coated in a sweet, garlicky sauce that kept me coming back for more. I took the katsu sando and egg sando home for later, and I had to finish with the strawberry sando, which was perfectly creamy with fresh, sweet strawberries. It was the ideal way to end the meal. Beyond the food, what really impressed me was the incredible value. The prices were very fair, the portions were generous, and the service was exceptionally warm and friendly. Everything came out quickly and piping hot, which made the experience even better. The also had catchy music playing in the background and it was peaceful in there during lunch time. Whether you're looking for a quick solo meal or a spot to bring friends, this place checks every box. I loved my visit and can't wait to come back. Next time, I'm definitely bringing everyone I know so they can experience it too!

It was just the right amount of sweet. Maybe it is pumpkin season though, so it just made it better than normal. The shrimp tempura was refreshing. You can also sub out the shrimp tempura for chicken tempura. My combo came with three shrimp tempuras, and I tried to sub out one of the shrimps for chicken, but the waitress misheard and subbed out all three tempuras, so there was a little mistake there. But my friend donated a piece of shrimp tempura, and it was really, really good. The chicken tempura reminds me of a lighter fried chicken, so I thought that was funny and cute. Soba was nicely flavored, and the noodle had good texture. A must visit if you are in the area.

On the plus side, the food is very good!…read more Their interior has no buffer against ambient noise and no good method to filter it. You are bombarded on all sides with noise. The seating arrangement isn't the issue, it's the acoustics of the building itself and lack of accounting for them. If you are neurodivergent and prone to overstimulation, or you're like me and plagued with misophonia, takeout is a better option. The ambient noise will drive you insane. One thing I will say is a huge detractor is that the hours advertised are not adhered to. They close the kitchen a half hour before the advertised closing time. If you go at 8pm, for example, on a night where they say they close at 8:30...yeah, you're not getting seated, because last call was at 8. Aside from the blatantly misleading hours and noise crashing in on you, it's good though!

There were only two waitresses for the restaurant which seems like it's not enough. A bit of a wait for even water and drinks. The food was fine. The tonkatsu was fried well enough, very crispy on the outside. I feel the meat was a bit bland and could have used more seasoning. Overall food was decent.

Genuinely one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had…read more Despite the restaurant being far from full, the service was exceptionally slow. Our drinks took 20 minutes to arrive, and we waited an entire hour for our food after ordering. The seating was incredibly uncomfortable, and the awkward layout of the restaurant made the overall dining experience even worse. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing as the service. The loin katsu was incredibly tough, dry, and lacked flavor. The tuna tataki was equally bland and didn't taste fresh. The filet katsu was slightly better, but it arrived cold. Between the painfully slow service, uncomfortable seating, and extremely underwhelming food, I genuinely cannot think of a single redeeming quality about this experience, besides the nice ambiance. I've never been so disappointed by a restaurant, and I'm honestly shocked that an establishment of this quality is operating in Torrance. I would absolutely not recommend it.

Note: I'm pretty sure this is a cashless business--there was no cash register, and the tablet…read moreordering system didn't offer a cash payment option. I like this place. Sometimes you crave a quick pasta meal but think your only choice is a sit-down restaurant. Pasta Stories is a fast-casual spot in the Tokyo Central food court. The process is simple: step up to the counter; order and pay on a tablet device; and grab a seat in the food court. They'll call you when your meal is ready. I tried the "Osaka," spaghetti with Wagyu beef meat sauce. The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was flavorful but lighter than most restaurants--less salty, with more subtle flavors. Browsing the menu, you'll find all the meals competitively priced compared to fast-food combos. However, each bowl is made to order and leans more toward scratch cooking than the processed fare you'd get at a fast-food restaurant. One last thing: I tend to avoid ordering pasta to go because if the kitchen isn't careful, ithe pasta keeps cooking and soaking up moisture during the commute. That's not a problem here. When they know it's a takeout order, they adjust their cooking and package the pasta nicely. The bottom line is you won't end up with soggy pasta when you get home.

Pasta Stories is a food stand located inside Tokyo Central at Pacific Coast Hwy & Hawthorne (close…read moreto Rolling Hills Estates). Each pasta is inspired by a different region of Japan and this is one of the few places in Los Angeles / Orange County that serves fast casual Japanese pasta. [Parking]: Plenty of parking spots within the parking plaza. [Ordering]: Customers place an order via a kiosk and pick up their order at the counter. [Menu]: The most classic pasta is Napolitan Spaghetti (Yokohama). Yelp's top highlighted dishes are Wagyu Beef (Osaka), Seafood Pasta (Ehime), and Matcha Cream (Kyoto). *** "Kyoto" Matcha Cream (Chicken - $15.50) & "Osaka" American Wagyu Beef Meat Sauce ($15.50): I personally liked Kyoto better than Osaka as the Kyoto pasta tasted a bit creamier with the matcha cream. Osaka was not bad, but it was not my favorite flavor profile. Each portion was just right so don't expect any leftovers to bring back home. *** Honestly I can see myself revisiting here and cycling through their menu. A solid Japanese pasta spot for anyone to stop by without breaking the bank.

My wife and I dined at the popular Gaburi Chicken in charming downtown Old Torrance. The restaurant…read morewas founded in Nagoya, Japan and is the first U.S. location of the fried chicken bar and izakaya chain. It was important to make reservations as the restaurant was completely booked up. We were seated outside and despite the recent heat wave, the breeze on the tree lined street provided a comfortable setting. We started with three appetizers ... scallop carpaccio, maitake karaage, and chicken cracklin's. The scallop carpaccio was beautifully presented with thinly sliced radishes, flying fish roe, kaiware radish sprouts and drizzled with citrus yuzu sauce. The dish was delightfully fresh and light. The maitake karaage had steamy hot Japanese mushrooms inside a satisfyingly crispy exterior. The chicken cracklin's were like chicken skin chips on steroids. They were super flavorful and crunchy. The final course was a Gaburi signature favorite, Bone-in Chicken with Garlic Rice. A chunky chicken leg was roasted with a deliciously browned skin and carved table-side. The juice from the chicken was poured over the garlic rice. The combination of chicken and rice was sublime. The servers were very helpful, taking time to answer all of our questions. The staff, atmosphere and food were amazing. You can't go wrong with Gaburi Chicken. Highly recommended.

I ordered their signature Japanese-Thai karaage with three sauces, alongside the potato salad and mixed pickles. The chicken was melt-in-your-mouth tender; while a bit plain on its own, pairing it with the sauces brought out all the flavor. The potato salad had great seasoning, though the texture leans completely smooth like mashed potatoes rather than chunky. As for the pickled vegetables, the carrot fell short, but the cucumber and rest of the mix were crisp and refreshing. Overall, a solid lunch experience. I'll definitely be back the next time I have a craving for fried chicken.
