LA’s New Yakitori Spot: Torikizoku 🍢

📍 Torikizoku 21839 Hawthorne Blvd, Torrance, CA 90503 Located in Torrance—where Japanese restaurants compete fiercely—so you know it’s legit. The place is new, clean, and had a 1–1.5 hour wait, but it was worth it. Pricing: 🍢 Most skewers: $4 🍖 Beef & eel skewers: $8 We tried every skewer on the menu 🍡 Highlights: 👍 Gizzard / Chicken wings / Scallop / Eel / Shrimp / Quail eggs — all delicious! 👎 Cartilage — bland. 🤢 Chicken with plum sauce — couldn’t finish it. Small mains ($8 each) — both the ramen and chicken rice bowl were so good we cleaned the bowls! AJI FRY (fried horse mackerel) was a bit heavy. Overall, a solid spot—no regrets, money well spent 💸✅ #YakitoriLovers #ImmersiveJapanese #IzakayaEats #LAEats#LAYakitori #JapaneseGrill #TorranceEats #RamenLove
