Izakaya Restaurants near Torrance, CA

“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!“

“Izakaya Ringo exceeded my expectations! Their fish was so fresh and melted in my mouth. Everything was reasonably priced and the service was incredibly kind and hospitable! Our waitress even asked if she should turn down the a/c after I put my jacket on. We will definitely be returning for more delicious food and vibes! Thank you!“

“Great place to hang out with friends! It’s our first visit so didn’t realize it’s more like a bar than restaurant -.- we ordered too much… the roasted chicken is soooo good! We ordered garlic rice as a side of roasted chicken. And all fired dishes are highly recommended! People at next table order grapefruit drinks and smells so good! Already plan to go a second time and order the grapefruit drink!

2nd review: Add one more pic for grapefruit drink & orange soda! Yes we went there again“

“Zoku was a great first-time experience. We started with the spicy karaage, yaki onigiri, and shishito peppers, and everything was well-seasoned and full of character. The onigiri was particularly memorable—smoky, savory, and delicious. The shishitos had a unique spice medley with an earthy, green umami flavor, while the karaage brought an approachable medium heat and an almost angry dark color that made it even more intriguing.

The Zoku Salad, their take on a Japanese Caesar, was colorful, textural, and genuinely pleasant to eat. We also worked our way through all eight chicken kushiyaki options. The wasabi, meatball, and spicy momo were the standouts.

Service was friendly, efficient, and energetic. The staff were on the ball throughout the meal. Add in the fun, casual atmosphere, and Zoku is an easy place to recommend. Definitely looking forward to going back.“

“Wonderful food and service, the Omekase was the culinary highlight of my week in LA. Every course was delightful, varied, and complemented the others. My friend ordered off of the menu directly and the Gyoza was the best either of us had ever experienced. Highly recommended!“
