Torrance Hidden Gem｜Thick-Cut Beef Tongue That Melts in Your Mouth

📍 Izakaya Hachi 1880 W Carson St, Torrance, CA 90501 Make a reservation, or arrive right at 5 PM when they open—it gets packed quickly! 🐮 Thick-Cut Beef Tongue – Incredibly tender and never chewy, this dish outshines even Mitsuwa's version in Irvine. Paired with their savory tea-soaked rice, it’s an unforgettable combo that’ll make you tear up with joy! 🍠 Crispy Taro Ribbons – A delightful crunchy appetizer with a rich, earthy flavor and satisfying texture. 🍚 Savory Tea-Soaked Rice – A must-try! The broth is more flavorful than classic dashi, deeply aromatic and comforting. Perfect alongside the beef tongue or on its own. 🎃 Homemade Pumpkin Dessert – Not overly sweet, soft yet substantial—think fluffy, pillowy mochi texture. A perfect gentle finish to the meal. These four dishes are absolute must-orders! ✨ Fun fact: The restaurant is often filled with local Japanese regulars—always a sign of authenticity! #TorranceEats #LAIzakaya #JapaneseFoodLA #LateNightEats #BeefTongue #HiddenGemLA #FoodieSpot #LAFoodie #ComfortFood #MustTryLA
