Tapas Restaurants near Torrance, CA

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

“Best authentic Japanese food! My husband and I live in the LA city, and we drive to Torrance occasionally on the weekends, just to get Hachi! It’s so delicious. I can’t stop 😂
I wish they had one in LA. The food is consistently good and on point, and so authentic and high quality like the foods that I had in Japan. My Japanese friend recommended this place, so I knew it would be legit but it’s quite mind-blowing. I love getting motsu nabe, saba roll, and the beef tongue here in addition to suntory draft ✨and make sure to get a reservation ahead!“

“Decided to try out this local spot on a whim and i'm really glad I did. I pulled up 15 minutes until closing and the waitress still took my order to go. Dine in was no longer available which was understandable. She was very witty and funny, excellent service and I enjoyed the unexpected laughter. Food was ready super quick and she even met me at the door to pick it up. The food was incredible, very rich flavor and made with love. I ordered the #4 which was recommended by her. I am looking forward to dining in next time, really nice spot. Go check it out.“

“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!“

“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!“

Very expensive at $500 per night, used the 2 $10 free tickets at bar for 2 drinks and still owed $8.36. This was the host hotel and stayed 2 nights Fri/Sat July 22-23, 2022, with hamburger & soup in room, total $1100. T.“

“Great atmosphere and even better food and staff!“

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

“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.“

“Their recipes are undefeated“

“We loved the people, vibe, and wine! Highly recommend!“

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

“Loved Loved Loved the food and attentive staff. The young men serving us worked fast and kept us informed when our table would be ready. We wanted to sit at a table, rather than the counter. I learned this place stays open late on the weekends and this is where many restaurant staff come to eat! This place is tiny, yet cozy. The tables are placed a bit close, but you still have privacy.

She shared the gyoza which was crispy on the outside and flavorful inside. One friend ordered the yakisoba and I tasted it which was very good, I will order it next time. My other friend ordered the mabo tofu which I also had a chance to taste and I could easily understand why my friend says this dish is her comfort food. I ordered the Tan Tan Ramen and it was so good! I took half home to share with my husband.

There are so many other dishes I want to try next time! Free parking on the lot. We had to wait 15 minutes for a table, which was totally ok. because the food was so good! Prices are reasonable too. OH! They have Happy Hour!!!“

“It’s in the Hampton Inn just south of LAX. As of March 2026 they are open from 4 PM to 11 PM daily. There’s a happy hour from 4 PM to 6 PM which gets you $2 or $3 off food and drinks. It’s on the pricey side, but this is in an airport hotel, and restaurants in airport hotels are normally not cheap.“

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

“So happy to see this location at 1509 Hawthorne Blvd is finally open again! We’ve missed having them in the neighborhood, and they definitely came back swinging.
​The crew here—Mari, Liana, and Daniel—are incredible. They have such high energy and made us feel so welcome the second we walked in. A massive shoutout to Enrique, too—he’s the one behind those legendary fresh salsas! You can tell everything is made fresh daily. The tomatillo salsa is a must-try, and the chipotle salsa is perfectly seasoned with just the right kick.
​What really sets them apart is the meat. They season it while it’s cooking, which makes a huge difference in flavor. The steak was perfectly seasoned and so juicy. It’s a totally different experience from your average taco spot. If you’re looking for fresh, authentic, and perfectly spiced food, this is the place“

“My family and I had such a wonderful experience here! The food was delicious, but what truly made our visit special was our server, Zeeshan. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcomed and valued. He was incredibly kind, attentive, patient, and professional throughout the entire meal.

We accidentally had a mix-up with part of our order, and Zeeshan handled it with such a positive attitude and genuine care. He quickly helped resolve everything and made sure we were completely satisfied. It’s rare to come across customer service this exceptional.

Thank you, Zeeshan, for making our night so enjoyable. Your kindness and dedication did not go unnoticed. The food was fantastic, but Zeeshan outstanding service is what will bring us back. Thank you for making our night so special!“

“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.“

“Tasty chicken wrap. Limited beer selection, but nice quiet location in the terminal to enjoy it. Excellent service.“
