The lomo saltado was tender and packed with flavor, the seafood rice was loaded with shrimp, mussels, and seafood in every bite, and the chicken katsu was perfectly crispy. We also shared sushi, and it was just as fresh and delicious as the entrées. The service was friendly and attentive without hovering, and the restaurant was clean with a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to enjoy a long meal with family. If you're looking for something a little different than your typical sushi spot, this is definitely worth checking out. We'll be back to work our way through more of the menu!

Service was really good, all the staff was very friendly and answered questions well. Got the AYCE lunch as we were hungry. The hand rolls were the best. Good fish to rice ratio and tasted great and fresh. The nigiri sushi we got did not have sushi rice, tasted like plan white rice, which wasn't so good. Carpaccio was ok not great but not bad. Tuna roll was way better than spicy tuna roll. Spicy tuna roll you couldn't really taste the fish. Got the 1/2 size udon soup which was really good. Overall, it was not the best Sushi we ever had but for an AYCE it was solid. Easy parking, good and friendly staff, awesome A/C for those hot days.

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!

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.

After about 10 minutes, a server asked us if we wanted drinks and to order. We ordered. Drinks came out about 5 minutes later. Fantastic. About 30 minutes in, we were wondering what was taking so long with our food (2 katsu sets, age mochi, and shishamo). Nobody checked in on us and we couldn't flag anyone down. One or two servers passed by but were too preoccupied. We were pretty frustrated at around 8:45PM. At 8:50PM, a server comes up to our table (finally) and asks if we wanted to order anything for last call. I told her we did order but never received it. She was shocked and checked on the order. Turns out, the order was never placed in whatever system they have. As an apology, they gave us free edamame, but still never checked on the table again. Our food came out about 10 minutes later. It was okay. When we finished about 15 minutes after the food came out, I had to go to the main entrance to try to get our check. To no surprise, that came out quickly. I was excited to try this place. As stated, the food was okay. The lack of service is inexcusable. I don't suggest this place to anyone. Go somewhere else. There's so many other Japanese spots in Torrance. Try any of those.

Eboshi is the perfect place for some late-night eats and has some classically great Japanese bar food. We got a variety of dishes, including one of their strawberry/cranberry beers, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Furthermore, we got everything that you would want from a nice day out or a nice night out: pork, alongside a vegetable dish, alongside a great takoyaki dish, and what I'd highly recommend is their fried rice and gyoza.

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.

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.

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.

Taking a while for the six people to order so I nudged her and I asked her to move and she seemed upset that I did that but didn't say anything no apology so it was very uncomfortable and I was rushing through my food so I burnt my tongue on the hot soup again even though I knew it was hot because I just wanted to get out of there.
