    David M.

    We came here after work as a friend recommended since it's fairly hidden. He said it was a Japanese fusion Italian with good drinks. M Bistro Beaux in Torrance is a hidden gem that blends Japanese and Italian flavors beautifully. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, perfect for a late-night dinner with drinks. Service is attentive, and the menu feels both creative and comforting. A great spot for something different in the South Bay.

    Reopened now with pretty much the same menu, except new items on the daily special, such as Oden and Bolognese octopus balls. I think the octopus balls are fried, but nothing wrong with that. I also ordered my favorite sauteed brussel sprouts with balsamic vinegar.

    F7. Fried Potato with Truffle Seasoning
    Steve M.

    Great new find for me in old town Torrance. Have great top shelf alcohol. They have Whiskey samplers which were great to sit down with a friend for a leisurely conversation. It was a sampler of Ballentine's 12, 17 and 30 year. We had already eaten but wanted something to munch on with the whiskey so we ordered their calamari and fried potatoes in truffle oil. Both hit the spot. Buon Appetito

    It was great for western style pasta Sign is hard to see at the night but foods and drinks are great I will like to come back for more pasta

    Fried Calamari
    Andrea L.

    Did not know this little hidden gem was in old Torrance. Found it on Yelp, went it and was pleasantly surprised. Small and intimate, decor was the most interesting part with gates as little partitions. Forgot to snap photos of all the food we ate except for the first one which was nicely fried calamari, that was served very quickly and hot! The cocktail I had had a unique name and I wish I could recall but it was not too sweet, and all of the food we did order (and none of it is shown, we did a good sampling of a variety of things off the menu) was all served with just the right amount of heat, taste, quality, and attention to detail when serving to make sure it all came out at a good pace as you SHOULD expect. I definitely will be back and will catalog my experience next time with photos as it was truly a memorable time at this one delicious and delightful spot!

    Such a variety of delicious eats, great to share with friends! Service is good! Not much for ambiance as it feels just like a restaurant bar. I would highly recommend the pizza with mochi and something else. And the mochi with prosciutto, yum! Must get!

    This isn't Halloween decor. sign is flashing like a scene from a horror movie, door is boarded up, inside stench of rotten sewage.

    This is so unfortunate I have to leave this after so many years of loyalty and patronizing this place!! I guess times have changed - first off, their name sign is flashing like a seizure inducing scene from a horror movie. Yelp says open at 5pm, but they make you wait until 5:30pm. Then, the place smells like SEWAGE from the moment you step through the glorious busted and boarded up doors - yikes, gross and unappetizing. The decor, once fun and chic, now looks like a basement from a SAW movie. Think rusty metal paneling with old chain link fences. Coupled with the sewage stench. And warehouse roller doors perma rolled up. Then... yes prices have gone up dramatically. Sure, inflation. But the straw that broke the camel's back... the owner... she kicked us out of our table half way through saying someone had it reserved and her staff didn't know, yadda yadda. Basically, I already knew, she had some JAPANESE clients coming in. This place is blatantly racist and unabashedly so. I have been coming here for 20+ years. I only get exceptional service when I'm with Japanese speaking friends. Sure enough, after she moved us to a less desirable table, a Japanese speaking group waltzes in. She says sorry, but you guys can stay as long as you want in the new table. One hour goes by... she has the audacity to come by and tell us customers are waiting for the table so we gotta skedaddle. We hadn't even finished our beverages that we paid for!!! Also, we went right at opening, 5:30pm.... Restaurant was empty and by the time we were asked to leave, there were still plenty of wide open tables. And we had been continuously ordering, so it's not like we were loitering. She did not offer us any discounts or comps for the MULTIPLE inconveniences. And wouldn't even split the tab the way we wanted. After our meal, we felt obliged to talk to her about our bad experience, since we were such loyal customers for so many years. We were met with a nonchalant GFY attitude. She literally doesn't care how loyal you are... too busy with her Japanese clients. She told us she's really busy right now and we had a 2hr time limit - this was never mentioned to us at any point. And never had this experience when I frequented in the past. She also passed blame on her staff multiple times, my biggest pet peeve. Just own your a-holery, it's ok. Talk about place I (and all my friends) never need to come back to ever again. Sayonara, beaux.

    Loved our experience at this hidden jem. Don't eat the squid ink pasta on your first date lol your teeth will be black! But its worth it. This pasta was so flavorful and I was in love with the oysters in the garlic oil sauce! Karaage was cooked perfectly. Spagetti Crab Butter Rich and decadent and just how I like it! There was so much sauce packed with chunks of crab and loads of flavor!!! I read raving reviews about this dish and it loved up to the hype! We loved the Japanese Italian dishes at our last visit here that we had to come back yesterday and met the owner, Mami! She is super sweet and you can tell she really wants all her customers to feel at home. This restaurant, my friends, has unique creations that will have you coming back for more. It's a family owned business that has been open for years! I'm so glad we found a new go to spot! Please give them a visit and support local! They have seating that is socially distant to ensure safety or you can order takeout! You'll love the food, drinks and service here! . . .

If…read moreyou can, try to sit on the left part of the restaurant - it's a much nicer, Japanese vibe :) Good service and easy parking (back lot or street parking) Fillet katsu and fried oysters: 4.75/5. I've tried the fillet katsu a few times, and most of the time it's pretty dry, but this time it was made well! The real star of the show though were the FRIED OYSTERS!! Enormous pieces of oysters that are so juicy, tender, fresh, not fishy at all... just wow. I finished my meal, but I'm already craving the oysters again! I wish they had a set with only fried oysters. Really liked their rice, side dishes, miso soup, and cabbage salad too, but their salad dressing is a little salty. Fried potato cheese mochi: 2/5. Would not order again. It was pretty bland, and it was just such a strange combo to me cuz they used American cheese. Gobo chips: 3/5. I had maybe 2 pieces that were good, crispy, easy-to-bite-through chip texture. The rest were so tough to bite through :( This has potential, but they need to work on getting the gobo to be softer Edamame tempura: 4/5. Exactly how you would imagine edamame with fried batter to taste! Nothing crazy. Mentaiko shisho mochi egg roll: 3.5/5. It was not bad, but I was a little confused by the slightly cinnamon flavor. Salmon avocado roll, negihama roll, spicy tuna roll: 4/5. Grouping these together cuz they were all nothing crazy, pretty standard. You can definitely find better, but it was a pretty good price ($6-7 per roll?) Lemon chu-hi pitcher: 3/5. Wish this was more lemon-y, and it was kinda watered down! Tasted more like sparkling water with a very slight lemon taste.

Today we decided to revisit the restaurant for old time's sake. Inside, the main wall was repainted with a new mural. The annual LA Marathon posters, pinned by the staff who participated in the events, were also gone. Nonetheless, it retained its traditional izakaya décor with its counter seating alongside some regular tables. The staff were all new but still very courteous and brought the menu and water right away. New items were added but the core dishes remained the same. For this visit, we ordered our regular items and they arrived in 10 minutes: Eboshi Mini Trio with Shio Ramen, Fried Rice and Gyoza: The fried rice was still top notch, with slightly firm texture, not too oily, and pleasantly seasoned. The Shio Ramen with its clear broth was nicely savory. The thin noodles were cooked perfectly, and the chashu pieces were tender. To complement the set, the gyozas with their delicate wraps had nicely burnt bottoms, and flavorful fillings. Champon Ramen: A complex ramen with an assortment of meat, veggies and seafood. There were sliced pork pieces, shrimps, squids, cabbage, onions, snow peas and many more. The clear broth was quite savory and enriched by oil from sauteed ingredients. The noodles had a very nice texture and were a tad al dente. We were amazed that after all these years, the restaurant retained its original taste and flavor. We found out the reason why while exiting the restaurant: The young cook from two decades ago is now running the open kitchen as head chef. Great food and still reasonable prices. It was totally worth revisiting.

Well I do and last night I wanted steak, but not steakhouse steak and not Applebees steak either. I found Waraku while we were shopping at Walmart and figured it was nearby, they have seafood, which she will eat, and the quality looks prime. It is the corner space of an outdoor plaza, most known for the 85C Bakery off of Carson. If you enter the lot from Abalone Ave, youʻll see it right away. The exterior is very unassuming, but interior is spacious, clean and contemporary Japanese. The service is excellent and the quality is very good. I want to say the price is reasonable for the quality you are getting. It is more like a ala cart experience, so it can get pricey real fast! I did get my steak (Angus NY strip loin) and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. I wouldʻve liked it a little more charred on the outside, but it was still great. She got the A5 wagyu teppanyaki and crab which was very fresh. Those were off the appetizer menu so those portions were VERY small. We both ordered one piece each of shrimp tempura, which was really good (big, fresh piece of shrimp) and crispy clean batter. Iʻm still on the search for the best shrimp tempura tho. Iʻm talking light airy batter with the panko like crust. This wasnʻt that, but it was very very good. I need to go back for the daily seafood bowls, which looked like the real star here.
