Kantaro Sushi - Torrance

This is by far the best omakase in Torrance. The owner is fantastic. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.

You know you've found a hidden gem when a restaurant shares a tiny plaza with a liquor store and is unpretentious inside, except for the incredible dishes served to you. The place has a cozy, mom-and-pop vibe, manned by just two people: the wife who takes care of the serving and the husband who is the sushi chef. Given its small size, it's definitely wise to make a reservation ahead of time! The omakase is a great deal, and the quality and presentation of the food far exceed the price (but shhh, don’t let the owners know, or they might raise it!). The sake here is also a great bargain! Come for the amazing food, and stay for the drinks. A big shoutout to the couple who attentively looked after us and made sure we didn't indulge too much! You really have to experience it for yourself—you won't be disappointed, especially when your first dish is so Instagram-worthy!

Reservations for dinner are a must, and the omakase experience here consistently delivers excellent value and service. This charming little sushi spot is a true gem worth visiting to support the local mom-and-pop establishment. They have been in business for quite some time, and it shows in the high quality of the food and the warm hospitality.

This charming restaurant is a family-run establishment operated by an elderly couple. They offer an excellent omakase experience at a fantastic price. The fish was incredibly fresh and practically melted in my mouth. We requested the shrimp head to be fried, and it was absolutely delicious! My friend inquired about the type of matcha leaf they used, and the lady generously gave her a whole tub! Such a kind gesture.
