I got their new Tempura bento box with soba noodles and I loved it!…read moreThe bento has good portion amounts for a reasonable price, the only downside was the soba did not come with mentsuyu or soba dipping sauce, only the tempura had a dipping sauce or not sure if I had to share the Tempura dipping sauce. I would order it again, it was super filling and tons of umami flavor.

They had 2 bento box options here and I got the Bento Box A ($19.99). It came with teriyaki salmon, burdock salad, fresh salad, shrimp tempura, pumpkin, shishito, and mushroom tempura. The side was a choice of rice or soba or upgrade to California roll for $1 or Salmon roll for $2. I went with the California roll. Here are my thoughts: Tempura: for all the hype around this, I thought it was ok. 3.5/5 stars Salmon teriyaki: it was a typical salmon teriyaki. It got cold quickly, but I think that is my fault since I kept taking pictures of the food. 3.4/5 stars Meatballs: first time trying Japanese meatballs and I thought it had a nice balance of sweet and savory. 4/5 stars Fresh salad: it was fresh. 4/5 stars California roll: it was ok and nothing to write home about. 3/5 stars Miso soul: it's definitely miso alright! 3/5 stars Service was minimal since it's food court food. The food was a pretty average experience, but the prices are restaurant prices. I guess it is worth a try if you really love tempura.

Hansol is located inside the Torrance H Mart, and I think it's a great place to grab a meal after…read moredoing some grocery shopping. Grocery shopping always seems to make me hungry anyway, so it's nice having a food option right there. One tip: I'd grab a drink from inside H Mart before ordering at Hansol, since there a lot of cool and different drink options in the grocery section. I usually get the pork cutlet, which comes with two pork cutlets, rice, several sides, a small broth, and a salad. It's a really good-sized meal and something I always enjoy getting. The pork katsu is crunchy on the outside while still being juicy inside, and the sauce has a refreshing flavor that pairs really well with it. The sides complement the meal nicely, and they also give you some fruit. I like saving that for the end since it's a refreshing way to end the meal. Ordering is pretty straightforward: just go up to the cashier and give them the letter and number for the item you want. I also like that there's a picture for each menu item, so you can easily see what you're ordering. The seating area is basically a food court, so the ambiance isn't anything special, but there are plenty of seats, which is nice. I always look forward to coming to this H Mart knowing I can also get a great meal if I'm hungry after shopping. It's definitely one of those convenient spots that makes the grocery trip even better.

Really enjoyed our meal at Hansol inside H Mart in Torrance! We had the squid with bean sprouts and…read moreudon noodle soul. Both were really good, flavorful, and satisfying. The typical Korean banchan (side dishes) that came with the meal made everything even better. It's located inside the supermarket, so the dining area can get very crowded and busy, but the food came out fairly quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. You order your food, find yourself a table, and they call your number when your order is ready. Nothing fancy in terms of atmosphere but a busy H Mart food-court setting for that is tasty, comforting, and worth the wait. I'd definitely come back, especially when I'm craving a hot bowl of Korean soup!

We love this place because the service is always fast and efficient, and the food is consistently good. You can have a drink or two if you'd like, but since we were driving, we decided to skip the drinks this time. After they sat us, we ordered our food immediately on the kiosk that was on the table. It really made it super easy. We ordered the steak, which is always super tender and flavorful. The beef tofu soup and of course my Coke! One order is honestly more than enough for the two of us, especially because we definitely eat differently now than we did when we were younger. Lol We shared our meal, and it was the perfect amount for both of us. Sometimes you just want a place that's easy, delicious, and gets the job done without any fuss and this place definitely does that for us! We love dinning here especially during the summer as the ac is always on blast! We'll definitely be back soon!

I have been wanting to try this place but I was really disappointed with the quality and flavor…read more The flavor was definitely lacking. I did, however, enjoy the complimentary side dishes - in particular the fish cake. That was yummy! Tell me why I wanted/ ordered soup when it was literally nearly triple digits. We also got an order of the Galbi, which also lacked flavor. Service was fine. They close from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m., which we did not know but that was our fault. We went back at 4, and it wasn't busy. Nice size parking lot but it is on a busy street. Finding parking is not difficult though.

I love the music they play. I am so sick of elevator music and they don't do that. I really enjoy that. All of their food is great, but I am hooked on their salads. Their Sartori Caesar is one of my favorites. It has super fresh crisp romaine hearts with freshly grated parmesan cheese, sourdough croutons and house-made Caesar dressing. I love the dressing. Their Big Newport Wedge is better than most is has the best iceberg wedge topped with applewood smoked bacon, balsamic red onion, tomato and a great blue cheese dressing.

Check this place out for incredible tempura. Been here twice in the last week. Ordered the Shrimp…read moreTempura Plate both times. The Shrimp Tempura Plate comes with a variety of tempura-battered items including four shrimp, kabocha (squash), fish, seaweed, and a shishito pepper. On the side, you get a bowl of rice, tempura-battered soft-boiled egg, and dipping sauce that comes with a generous scoop of grated daikon radish. Everything is spot on. The tempura batter is perfectly coated on each item and crispy. I'm usually not a fan of kabocha since it tends to come out mushy. However, here, it's crunchy and delicious. If I had to choose my favorite parts of the meal, they would be the tempura-battered soft-boiled egg and seaweed. If you break the yolk over the rice, it's very satisfying to eat. And the seaweed is crispy like a potato chip. Maybe I haven't been to enough tempura shops, but I think these two items are particularly special. If tempura is not your thing, they do serve other stuff. The sashimi here is nothing to scoff at. I had some sashimi here including the bluefin tuna, salmon, and fatty tuna. The quality of the sashimi is up there with some of the better sushi restaurants in the South Bay. If it's not obvious from my glowing review, I really like this place. Maybe a little addicted. Not sure when I'm going to be back, but it's probably going to be sooner rather than later.

One thing I especially love is that they offer egg noodles with their pho rather than just rice noodles. I'm a ramen girl, so I've always preferred egg noodles, and honestly, they are the perfect combination with pho! A few of my favorites here are the chicken wings and crispy egg rolls, both are so good and make the perfect additions to my order. Another thing I really appreciate is that the broth isn't overly oily compared to some other pho spots. As I get older, I've become much more mindful of what I'm putting into my body, so I really appreciate a flavorful broth that doesn't leave you feeling like you just had a bowl of oil. Lol! If you're a pho lover who prefers egg noodles over rice noodles, definitely give this place a try. It's become one of my regular go-to spots, and I always look forward to my next bowl!

I've eaten here with my family and friends at least five times.

Our order was takeout and the packaging was easy to use and understand. The broths were labeled with matching stickers with the udon. The green onion and fried panko crumbs were all separate. It was nice how the meat/sauce was separate from the udon. The broth had an umami flavor with some sweetness. The bad: Both the curry and beef udon had a lot of cooked onion which my husband isn't a fan of so we picked it out for him. The interesting: I've been to their NorCal location. They sell gift cards online.
