I highly recommend this place for great tendon and sushi. Some of the best yellowtail I’ve ever had. The tendon was cooked beautifully and was flavorful. The soba was so so. I’d come back again for more sushi and to try other menu items.

Obviously it is not fair to compare the price and quality of tempura with what I had in Japan. So far the best in the area but I can not confidently recommend this to ppl from East Asia who have visited Japan.

Love it!!!!!!!!! So crispy so nice, enjoyed the bowl more than the plate. Probably won't order the eel tempura again(kinda oily and flavorless), but everything else was super yummy.

100% authentic to me! it even beats Japanese quality. Still no clue why it’s called “Calos” 🤣 but honestly, I don’t care. Whenever I’m craving tempura don and soba, this is my spot. My husband always goes for the tempura set with sashimi. Highly recommend!

This Japanese restaurant is so good, the food is so delicious that you wouldn’t even notice if someone dropped dead right next to you

Best tempura in Torrance. This is one of those places that you plan to visit from out of town.

Also, if they packaged and sold their tempura nori, I would buy so many bags of it.

What an absolute amazing treat if you’re a tempura lover - this is a must try if you’re in the Torrance area.

Carlos has learned his craft well and it shows. Almost everything on the menu is tempura related so you’ll definitely have various options to try this famous dish.

Prices are also decent for fresh and delicious tempura. 100% a must try if you love tempura and you’re in the Torrance area.

Amazing tempura for a great price. The quality is on par with what you get in Japan from a good restaurant. Food came very fast even though it was pretty busy.

This is the best tempura bowl place in LA if not all of the US. The tempura is fried so well with the options and variety that is hard to make a bad choice. Some people choose the plate with the tempura or soba/udon combo but the bowl is just something we can't seem to replicate the taste for. I almost always get the special bowl because it has most of what I want. If you want eel then you're better off getting the premium. Which I don't think is necessarily worth it.

The staff is super nice and attentive and they take orders fast and provide the tempura quickly while you still have to ask for water when you're running low. The marinated celery and ginger is so good that you can eat so much of it as an appetizer. The spicy seasoning you can add to the tempura bowl adds a nice kick to the bowl itself with the sauce. The mistake mushroom is also a good tempura to order if you don't get the vegetarian one.

The place is very much a traditional Japanese place here in LA with seating and wait. This place is super packed if you don't come earl and it can take over an hour to get a seat potentially.

The del amo mall location wasn't as good as the original but I hear from friends the Pasadena location is a good one. Overall this is an establishment that has to be visited by anyone who visits LA who likes Japanese food.

My brother suggested this place for us to meet up with lunch. We were greeted right away when we entered, and the lady told us to write our names down first since our whole party wasn't there yet. Everyone was very nice and attentive. They had instructions on the wall on how to enjoy the tempura bowl and tempura plate. My kids really enjoyed it and made sure I followed the instructions when I got my dish. I ordered the Special Tempura Plate. Everything was so delicious! The tempura was perfectly crispy, and their sauce was so mouth-watering. The kids really enjoyed their kids meal that came with a jello and mini can of juice. The service was really good. Our server constantly checked on us to see if we needed anything. We would definitely come back here when we're in the area again.
