Kotosh — Restaurant in Lomita

I just returned from a family dinner at Kotosh in Torrance-Lomita. We have been enjoying dinners there for many years, however, our waitress at dinner tonight was unsatisfactory and had a bad attitude. The service and wait staff in the past were always accommodating, fun and pleasant. Tonight was not the case. I had to use the restroom after dinner and the bathroom did not have any toilet paper although the chart on the back of the door showed it was serviced. I asked about it twice to our waitress and she said it would be handled. Several minutes passed and the paper was not replaced… our waitress said she told someone to replace it, but it was not done. Finally asked again as it was not being taken care of. She pointed at the women’s only bathroom and told me to use that one, which I did as I had waited over 10 minutes. Absolutely no apologies for lack of basic service, then she had a very rude and negative attitude towards me when the check was delivered to our table as if I did something wrong!! What the heck is going on at Kotosh now? What used to be a nice and friendly restaurant has evolved into a place with bad vibes and negative attitude and lazy wait staff. I won’t be returning anytime soon and will tell me friends about the horrible treatment I received. You...

We have been coming here for years it’s probably the only place that has not changed in this shopping center… the location is kind of hidden but the food there is good and the servers are the BEST, they are so accommodating!!!!! You will see they have some combos and if I am in the mood for a different side instead of white rice with my favorite chicken Saltado they will put whatever I ask for. They can mix and match for me I love them so much! The saltado is my go to. I don’t really get sushi there but I see a lot of people getting it and they say it’s always fresh :) I do love the ceviche it’s a fusion ceviche not your normal ceviche… try it. 100 stars for their service! Look at the size of this fried beef cutlet it’s literally too big for the plate and hanging off and this is a normal dinner plate it’s HUGE!!!!! I asked for a side of fried rice with it this will last me 3 meals I have an air frier so I can refry and make it crisp again at home. This is really good with any of their spicy sauces but I am weird I like it with...

Don't even get me started on this place. I came here right before my Black Pink concert but drive by here on the daily. I decided to try it out one day because I haven't had Peruvian food in forever and this has been highly recommended to me by everyone in my circle.

First off, the parking and the location. Location is terrible but parking is okay. There is a small narrow parking lot in the front of the restaurant but a small parking lot in the back. I haven't not found parking here, but the location and the parking lot just gives me anxiety. If you know you know.

The food! I've ordered the Lomo Saltado with a side of Chaufa and my gosh. It was amazing. I've only really had Lomo and Chaufa a few times, but this place definitely takes the top spot. Don't even get me started on the green sauce they give you. I was practically drenching my meal with it (It was good without it too). I also ordered the plantains and that was definitely a great "dessert" and end to my meal.

All in all, definitely looking...
