“Tried zoku for dinner & will definitely be back! The appetizers were the star for me especially the cream cheese “tofu” and the elote corn rib. The vegetable skewers were fresh and the wage beef skewer had good flavor. Cocktails were fun and well priced! Looking forward to my next visit.“

“Food 🍱 so good 😊“

“Fresh and delicious fish, lovely service and a very welcoming atmosphere! We enjoyed our meal and chatting with the owner and the chef about their hometowns. It made us want to plan our next trip to Japan ASAP! We will definitely be back. Thank you, Yusuke, for your hospitality.“

“Best authentic Japanese food! My husband and I live in the LA city, and we drive to Torrance occasionally on the weekends, just to get Hachi! It’s so delicious. I can’t stop 😂
I wish they had one in LA. The food is consistently good and on point, and so authentic and high quality like the foods that I had in Japan. My Japanese friend recommended this place, so I knew it would be legit but it’s quite mind-blowing. I love getting motsu nabe, saba roll, and the beef tongue here in addition to suntory draft ✨and make sure to get a reservation ahead!“

“蕎麦、日本食　最高 !“

“We found this place by of chance needing to use the bathroom whilst walking around Venice and what a great find. Staff are lovely and welcoming and attended to us well. The place was very clean and the food was just right and so tasty. I will be returning when I visit again.“

“This place reminded me of an izakaya in Japan! I had such a great time—the food was delicious, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The tempura was super crispy and so good! I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in the area.“

“We had a great meal here on the roof top near the bar. The duck rice and duck meatballs were both great as was the Wagyu beef. The crispy chicken thigh was amazing and we also really like the dumplings. Every dish we shared was great and the kitchen did a very good job coursing out the dishes we ordered. We shared everything and there was plenty of food for our party of five. Even the deserts were outstanding. We shared the coffee gelato with cream and the mango fruit to end. The restaurant is very crowded and lively which makes for a fun evening. Very hard to get a reservation but worth the effort.“

“We ordered the signature bone-in chicken, the brussels sprouts, the fried spaghetti appetizer, and the matcha tiramisu. Everything was super yummy except for the fried spaghetti, I don't think it was worth it, it looked like a cup of raw spaghetti but the sticks were crispy. The bone-in chicken was very juicy and flavorful, and the brussels sprouts tasted great with the mayo. The matcha tiramisu was delicious as well. The waiters were friendly and attentive, the only complaint I have is that it was very noisy inside and a bit hard to hear each other talk. Other than that I have been looking for a chance to go back!“

“it was yakitori and izakaya place. it was sooo nice and good. it's pricey though, but that's what fine dining is right..!? so i think it is pretty good, to come with famz or colleagues 😃👍🥰“

“Go to place in Gardena for the lunch and the dinner.“

“It feels like it’s gotten more expensive over time, but I’ve been coming here for 20 years. It’s one of my all-time favorite restaurants, and I’d be genuinely sad if it ever closed. The staff are always very friendly. While it may not feel particularly modern or spotless, it offers a comforting, homey atmosphere. The food is also consistently delicious.“

“My experience was very good and the food was delicious. I would defiently eat there again.“

“The man inside was nothing but kind to me. Im not from LA and my phone died trying to find my way back to my hotel. I went into Jersey Mikes and he refused to lend me a charger for a couple minutes. I decided to try here and he let me use it, offered me candy, and was so nice. I didnt try the food but with with their hospitality alone I will come eat here on my next visit. Thank you again!“

“The service was great & the food was soooooo good! I highly recommend the place for anybody to go eat here!“

“Ended up getting spicy chicken Ramen, and to be completely honest, it's definitely One of the better Ramen spots I've had in a loooooong time here down in SoCal. The broth was just 👌, egg perfectly done and not to mention the quality of the meat. I really don't understand how this place only got 4.2. In my solid opinion this place is 4.9 at least , and for the price and the quality it offers I would definitely rank it 5.0. Overall quality of a ramen easily could be compared to ramen you would have in Japan.

Definitely would recommend, you will not be disappointed“

“The server was so Great. He is so respectful, attentive and helpful. He gives suggestions of what I will order being my first time in Wadatsumi. Thank you very much for the Awesome service.😊 I'll definitely come back with my friends.💯“

“Fresh sashimi and nigiri with good selection of sake and beer“

“Try the Black Shisen Ramen! It's my favorite.“
