Tapas Restaurants near Torrance, CA

“My experience was very good and the food was delicious. I would defiently eat there again.“

“This small restaurant is located in a strip mall on Carson St. in old Torrance.. it was very busy and popular even on a Monday night! The food was outstanding starting with the beef salad.. it was very tasty and refreshing. Moving on the fancy sashimi was perfect.. very fresh and flavorful. Their beef is top notch whether it was the ribeye or the wagyu tartar service with uni and caviar.. the latter had a beautiful presentation and was equally delicious. The salmon truffle carpaccio was another winner. The service was nice and the counter seating was very comfortable. It might be a good idea to do a reservation especially if it is a busy night. the space is relatively compact and fills up really fast. This is a very authentic dining experience which has not been watered down for an American audience.. real deal outstanding Japanese food. They have tons of robata choices and their crispy pork ribs looked amazing.. def trying them on our next visit. If you love grilled meats and amazing flavor Izakaya Hachi is a must try.“

“Ok so we’ve been here a few times and have always ordered the Japanese BBQ chicken ramen. It is so delicious and unique and the chicken chowder broth is fantastic. Our kids slurp it up. My husband and I love it. We eat a lot of ramen places and this place is one of the best in the South Bay.

We came here today and to our surprise, there’s no more blackened chicken ramen! We still got the chowder (rich) chicken ramen but we miss our favorite ramen dish. We hope you bring it back!

I also want to shout out to the staff. We come here with our twin 2 year old toddlers and sometimes call in to get an order of the karaage started so that it’s ready by the time we’re seated and they always accommodate us. The staff is so nice here it makes it that much of a wonderful experience.“

“What a fantastic dining experience! We were so well taken care of, and the food was amazeballs! Definitely top of my list as my new favorite seafood restaurant. Elijah, the bartender was awesome and Katie went out of the way to make sure we had a lovely time. What an evening… I highly recommend this place.“

“Authentic food imported from Spain, by Spaniards, and with a great staff of people helping run the place. We loved our visit and loaded up on baguettes, ham, wine, candy, and more! The paella is made fresh and we took home some portions, this place is a favorite and a gem!“

“I cannot say enough of the five star service Ernesto provided. We were waiting for the shuttle to take us to the airport. It was 10 mins late, then 15 mins late. I asked the gentleman at the front desk to inquire but he was not helpful at all. Just said he will be there. I expressed my concern that we had an international flight to catch. I was so frustrated by this front desk man's customer service I told my husband we should call an Uber. Meanwhile we already paid for the hotel shuttle. Ernesto overheard my frustration. Called the bus to find out it wouldn't be coming there was an issue. He refunded us for our shuttle we paid for and also paid for our Uber. It was Four Seasons customer service, over and beyond exceeded our expectations! You should be so lucky to have a person like Ernesto. The other gentleman needs to go back to learning customer service skills and hospitality! Go Ernesto!“

“Great food and service (Amanda did a great job), I love their double r 20 oz cowboy’s rib eye and I like the ambiance it is very cozy.“

“5-star alert! My wife surprised me with this delicious Tunisian restaurant on Father’s Day! It was like an exotic trip to Mediterranean North Africa. The servers were good and the owner was super friendly and helpful! We had prawns, fish, lamb, cauliflowers, and the infamous Hand of Fatima. Everything was delicious, with unique flavors and beautifully presented. The sauces were so unique and flavorful, we had 3 orders of bread as we want to enjoy more of the flavors in every dish!“

“We enjoyed everything about our meal from start to finish.“

“Overall a nice stay: friendly staff, nice updated facilities, free ♿️ valet👌-3 to 4 blocks from beach.

“Nice place for breakfast. Not to busy and service was great. A little pricey.“

“Go to place in Gardena for the lunch and the dinner.“

“I have been enjoying meals at Okane Umi since 2016. They have always been excellent in every category of service. The restaurant has had its share of ups and downs but I am happy with how strongly Okane Umi has powered up its menu and added some wonderfully flavorful genuine Japanese dishes. Im pleased they have reinforced their sushi, sashimi, chirashi offerings - I love this restaurant.“

“FURAIBO GARDENA: I discovered just before to move to Cabo. I went everyday ( memorial WE) after this first visit. Food is divine, chicken wings are not to compare with the usual chicken wings, it is a delicacy. The first day we had an unbelievable friendly and attentive waitress, she knew all our nephews and nieces for 25 years. An exceptional person with rare qualities. I recommend this restaurant and as soon I have to be in LA I will. of course go every day I am in LA. Bravo for the chef, the people, the ambiance. I miss it every day.“

“Good ramen with several options that are not found in many places. Good taste and prices, friendly servers, sometimes parking can be limited, opened until late on Fridays. Reminds me of some of the ramen shops when I was living in Japan. A must try if you’re in LA South Bay area.“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“I will definitely recommend this place for all ages. I grew up on Chinese food restaurants and they have gradually disappeared. But found one of the best lo mein noodles in Playa Vista. So yummy!!! You need to stop by because the menu has such fresh food to order. I love the spicy marinated cucumbers. If you love Chinese then this is the modern version but with those big noodles that we grew up on. YUMMY!!!“

“I went here for lunch today and it was great. I didn't know it was a fast casual, assembly line setup. I had a bowl with the asada and toppins of my choosing. Loved it. Meat had a great flavor, the pickled red onion was the MVP topping, and the guacamole had great texture and flavor. My colleagues had the carnitas and chicken options and they enjoyed their meal as well. I would definitely go back and recommend this spot to anyone.“

“First time at Sammy’s in Imperial Beach for breakfast the portions were big and the desserts delicious. We definitely will be returning. Sammy’s is one of my favorite restaurants!“
