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 ?

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.

Delicious homey Japanese teishoku. They are known for their tempura, which is always light and crispy. My personal favorite is their Hamburg steak in Demi glacé. The portion is good and the patty is very flavorful. All sets come with rice, miso soup (which is one of the best I've had), and pickles. There is also a variety of seasonal appetizers available. Everything is homemade and cooked to perfection. They can be busy so service could be slow at times- but the food is worth the wait!

I'd been always wanted to go and I finally did the other day and they were packed!! We ordered tempura meal, chicken karaage and potato salad. It was worth the wait. Tempura was fresh and crispy, one of the best tempura I've ever had. Karaage was as delicious well, crispy and juicy. Potato salad was bit salty but still tasty. I saw a sign outside looking like either they sold the place? Hopefully not because I'd love to go back there again try some more!! Highly recommend.

A true hidden gem in Torrance. Ran by two workers and closes at random times, this restaurant is really something special. My wife and I always orders three entrees and the worker always tells us that we can opt for a la carte so we don't have an extra rice and miso soup between the two of us. Favorite Menu items: Hamburg Steak with demi glaze: perfectly cooked demi glazed meat patty with grilled onions and mushrooms with a side cabbage salad. Chef kisses deliciously good!! Mixed scallop and shrimp tempura bowl: a perfectly fried patty of scallops and shrimps sitting on top of a bed of rice and drizzled with the most intoxicating tempura sauce you have ever tasted. Black pork cutlet w/starchy egg sauce: black pork cutlet fried to perfection on top of a bed of rice with starchy egg sauce that blankets the entire dish with a cloud of epic flavors saturating ever bite. -----Pro tip, make sure you call before showing up because they randomly close at times. Overall this place has amazing food, amazing service and is a real gem.
This place has been my favorite lunch spot for more than a decade! It's totally enjoyable at night time as well. For night time, they also have a few tapas style dish selections but watch out! Each dish average $6 so if you start adding to a base meal it can start to add up. Lunch or dinner , the food you order here is amazing. They are known for their tempura so you will never go wrong selecting any meal including it. However, my personal favorite is their gyutan plate. They give you 4-5 slices along with miso soup, rice, and grated yam which hits the spot every time.

Home style Japanese cooking, what they do, they do well. Limited menu, tonkatsu, katsu don, tempura. Reasonably priced, odd hours. Have gone there for dinner and they were closed. Don't go near closing time, they'll turn you away. I guess for a small place they have enough business to survive.
