Visited Matsui this past weekend after a while, and it’s still one of those spots that just hits. The menu’s big, so you can go classic or mix it up depending on what you’re feeling, and everything feels consistent without being boring. The nabeyaki udon was the standout for me — warm, hearty, and perfect for a chilly night. Katsu don and the soft shell crab salad are also solid picks, and the zaru soba and okonomiyaki are worth trying if you want something different. Portions are decent, prices feel fair, and it’s one of those spots you can reliably come back to when you want good Japanese comfort food without overthinking it.

I've been coming to this place since it was Mishima in the 90's. It's 2026 and I still come with my daughter whenever I come to Torrance area. I hope the place lasts as long as it can. My favorites are tanin don and sansai don, not to mention the hot udon.

Fantastic Japanese food. Great bowls, great sushi, but definitely get the tempura.
Some cool artifacts for baseball fans as well.

Although the place is small, it reminds me of the small restaurants in Japan. It is a must go to. Food is oishi and the prices are reasonable.

Remember when $20 got you a good meal? Well, Matsui to the rescue! The Manager's Special you get sushi, assorted tempura, a bowl of soba (or udon) and a side salad. All for $18? I mean it's a legit-ly good meal!
Very low key! It was nice to be able to converse with my friends...

Matsui is my favorite lunch and dinner spot! The food is always amazing, and the prices are just as good. I love their combos — I’ve tried most of them by now, and they’re all so good. My favorite lately has been the soba and sushi combo. Try their eel too!
The service is always consistent, and the food is always consistent too, which I really appreciate. Everything is fresh, tasty, and just hits the spot every single time. Highly recommend if you’re craving sushi, noodles, or both!

I've tried a lot of Japanese food and saw this restaurant and went in. It's small, cheap, and delicious. It exceeded my expectations..😋
