Wadatsumi - Torrance

Traditional Japanese stain. came here on a Monday evening at 18:30 with three other friends. We put our name on the list and waited less than 10 min (we had no reservation). Free parking available. Credit cards accepted. They serve alcohol. The tuna tataki rice shell came with tuna slices and tuna paste. The fish tasted fresh. The beef dish was a hearty option, and came boiled medium and thinly cut. We had to share a plate of cucumbers, in the beginning it was on the vinegarian side as heads up. Our waitress was efficient and left us mostly alone (what we wanted). A cool, authentic place to eat with a group of friends.

A casual Japanese restaurant, no need to worry about dressing. The selection on the menu is great, sashimi, sushi to, roasted food, salad, grilled, curry, soba...... Great service, they were busy for dinner, try to keep a table

Had a very nice dinner the deluxe Seafood sashimi with a large sake. Everything was very fresh could have used a little more though.

This restaurant was delicious and authentic to true Japan flavors. I had the Kaisen-don. It was great. I was blown away by the Karage!! It was tender and not greasy. By my standards, perfect. My wife had the Bara-Chirashi cut. She enjoyed it. We also sampled the Ribeye steak bowl (took most of it home as we were full by then. That turned out to be my wife's favorite dish. The server brought the respectful and pleasant Japan feeling. We have to come back for the full dinner menu. Note: they only serve a limited, bowl-centric menu before 5pm.

If you want to experience authentic Japanese cuisine, this is the place you want to check. Fortunately, I met a Japanese who sat right next to me in a Palos Verdes Park and recommended this restaurant among other Japanese restaurants. It was a very good proposal: it will be a bit expensive if you go there with empty stomach. You'll understand what I mean?
