Tamaen Reserve offers a top-notch Japanese BBQ dining experience with high-quality, melt-in-your-mouth meat and delicious flavors. The service is attentive, friendly, and quick, with a cozy and inviting ambiance. The staff is incredibly friendly and lovely, making for a wonderful dining experience. Although it can be on the pricier side, averaging over $100 per person, the quality justifies it. Menu highlights include their salad, which has been described as literal perfection, the garlic fried rice, which is heavenly, and the beef tartare, praised for its great taste and decent price. The restaurant also offers the Tamaen Reserve Course for $110 per person, which many find worth every penny, with excellent cuts like tongue and short rib, served with enough side dishes to feel complete. The meat quality, such as USDA set and Japanese meat, is top-notch, and traditional Korean oxtail soup is also available, seasoned and cooked perfectly. The restaurant is clean and cozy, with a smaller size that makes reservations recommended, especially on weekends. Diners can enjoy a large selection of fine wines and delicious desserts, making it a hidden gem in Torrance. Despite its location and limited parking, Tamaen Reserve surpasses many high-end dining options.
