Good food that is delicious. The lunch special is a great price and includes udon, tempura and sushi. They serve hojicha (cold barley tea) which was refreshing especially on the hot day that I went. Definitely will be going back.
This place has very attentive and pleasant servers. My mom was also very impressed with service. The managers special is very filling and fresh. I would come back again! :-)

This Matsui restaurant is small, nice & clean. The employees were great fast paced. Definitely the owner was excellent!! Super busy!! The food was amazing well cooked. You can’t go wrong. The sushi was alright but Go Go Matsui bowl & the cold soba was a bomb. Totally insane. I really liked it. Come early in the morning before the customers arrive. The seat gets full at all times.

Not really a place for sashimi lovers, but has pretty decent deal for nigiri, tempura, and udon special combination. The tempura is cooked very well. The karage could have been juicier, but overall still pretty good.

Nice little Japanese restaurant. If you are looking for good sushi, this is not the place. The fish on the sushi was really thin and cut rolls were not good. Barely any fish inside the roll. the tempura was tasty and the ramen was good. The service was excellent and the food came quickly.

This is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Torrance. I love their servers, they are warm and friendly. Love their manager as well. Food is decent and good prices. We go there at least 2 times a month.
The manager's special for lunch on the weekend was a delicious and great value for the price! $17.75 came with a choice of udon (hot/cold) or soba (hot/cold), nigiri 6pc, and tempura too. It's my preferred way to eat with a little dabble in everything. Hard to beat that with inflation and pretty good soba noodles with the right level of firmness. Just like legendary Yankees slugger Hideki Matsui, this was a hit!

10/10! Wow, I'm so happy I found this place - the prices are right and the food was delicious! We ordered the Manager's Special, okonomiyaki ($7.50!), and Chirashi rice. It was a LOT of food. On the manager's special, I really liked the sushi (good variety and was cut well) and thought the tempura was super crispy. The okonomiyaki was tasty too, and I loved how it came cut in little slices - perfect for sharing! The flavoring here was standard and the sauces/pickled ginger provided a great crunch and contrast to the soft, warm okonomiyaki (egg/veggie fried pancake). I really liked the Chirashi rice - it was sushi rice topped with ginger, mushrooms, cucumber, egg and roe. It was such a simple dish but complimented the okonomiyaki perfectly. This dish was done extremely well - so comforting and delicious. The service was wonderful, we had the kindest servers and our food came out quickly. It's a small place, but definitely gets pretty packed! Check it out if you're in the area!

Located in a plaza with lots of other Asian food restaurants, this place is pretty well hidden. Came in on a Saturday and it was packed ! It's a pretty small restaurant so you may need to wait if you go doing peak hours, but we didn't have to wait too long. Lots of regulars, you can tell by how fast they order. Service can get slow because of how busy they get, but besides that they are very efficient. They have amazing specials and the food is very affordable. Got the warm udon and it was delicious. Noodles were great and the broth was perfect. Takoyaki had the perfect ratio of dough and octopus. Miso soup had lots of seaweed which was super nice. The onigiri was a little bit of a letdown as it doesn't have filling, and I found the seasoning too salty so I couldn't finish them. Overall great experience, will be back !

Our party of five got seated immediately on a Friday night! The manager's special was a bargain and delicious! The tempura was delicate, crispy, and delicious! I enjoyed the mugichi, as well.
Nice food and cool price!!!
