Absolute gem. It can be a little hard to spot in the plaza (it's in the same plaza as candy massage and the smoke shop). The food is lovely and the staff are quite nice. I ordered the black pork steak with stamina sauce and it was wonderfully made. I would highly recommend going. The prices are very reasonable for what's included.

This place is a hidden gem in Torrance. A small mom & pop place with some delicious food! We ordered a variety of foods from the Tempura Combo, Black Pork Cutlet (Tonkatsu) with Starchy Egg, Hamburg steak, Miso Flavored Broiled Cod (appetizer) & Rib Eye Beef Steak w/Stamina Sauce. While all were good, the dishes that stood out were the Hamburg Steak, Rib Eye and Miso Cod. This was the only place (out of many) that took reservations for a large party. Ayumi was excellent at getting our orders correct and serving us in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some good, homey Japanese cuisine.

I had a chance to try their hamburg steak and it was beyond describable. The beef was extremely tender and well-seasoned. The demi-glaze tastes like a jacked up bull-dog sauce.
The menu is short and sweet. They don’t even have appetizers on the menu, entrees only. This place is definitely a hidden gem. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Love their tempura! Thank you!

I am so glad we went here! After so many years of being in Torrance, we tried this place out for the first time and already felt at home here—the restaurant is quaint and charming, and the server was kind. The food was INCREDIBLE. Get the corn tempura! Will change your life possibly. The yam with egg yolk was simple and fresh. Very authentic. We will be coming back!
I highly recommend dining in- it really adds to the joy of eating this wonderful food.

Beautiful, one of a kind, restaurant that belies what it truly offers. Greeted by a sign asking for your patience and forgiveness as we collectively navigate Chef’s bad eyes… Come with an open heart. Read the “secret” menu, handwritten on the walls, with rough translations scrawled underneath in a gesture of care and love for the local community. In exchange for your patience, you will enjoy traditional comfort food that will bring you nearly to tears, or at least cause you to shut your eyes and smile: flavors and dishes you cannot enjoy with such intimacy, wordless empathy, and collectivism, nearly anywhere else. You get the sense, while sitting there, that we are all on borrowed time. It makes me cherish every bite and minute ? thank you Hiroshi Komatsu ?

The interior of the restaurant is decorated with handprints of sumo wrestlers, giving it a nostalgic, Showa-era feel. The tempura bowl is full of freshly fried crispy shiso leaves, lotus roots, white fish, eggplant, sweet potato, and shrimp. Thick black pork cutlet and crispy. Fried oysters, hamburgers, grated beef tongue...there are many more appealing menu items, so I'd like to come back again.
This is Japanese restaurant "Komatsu". Tendon is delicious, and there are many other Japanese menus. Tempura, tonkatsu, fried oysters...which one would you like?
Food was good. Service was also good. Not fancy but, a good food for dine in or to go.

Delicious Japanese food. Chef and server are Japanese. Very authentic food and service is excellent. Resto is a bit small. It gets full easily so make a reservation or come early. I guess I will be back to try the other dishes.
