Restaurant Komatsu — Restaurant in Torrance

Beautiful, one of a kind, restaurant that belies what it truly offers. Greeted by a sign asking for your patience and forgiveness as we collectively navigate Chef’s bad eyes… Come with an open heart. Read the “secret” menu, handwritten on the walls, with rough translations scrawled underneath in a gesture of care and love for the local community. In exchange for your patience, you will enjoy traditional comfort food that will bring you nearly to tears, or at least cause you to shut your eyes and smile: flavors and dishes you cannot enjoy with such intimacy, wordless empathy, and collectivism, nearly anywhere else. You get the sense, while sitting there, that we are all on borrowed time. It makes me cherish every bite and minute 💜 thank you...

This place is Great.

First of all, I highly recommend making a reservation, especially if you go there for dinner. This place is on the small side, and it fills up quickly.

They have a dish there, the "Steak with Stamina Sauce" it is really good. All of the food here is good.

This place is like Japanese bar food. It's a good idea to have a bunch of small dishes to try and share, and have a few beers. They have plenty of fish and seafood things. They have udon also.

If you are looking for chicken teriyaki, or ramen, or sushi, or whatever you think Japanese food is, this is probably not the spot you want to go to.

if you want to try real Japanese food, made by real Japanese folks, for Real Japanese people, then this is the spot to try.

This place is a hidden gem in Torrance. A small mom & pop place with some delicious food! We ordered a variety of foods from the Tempura Combo, Black Pork Cutlet (Tonkatsu) with Starchy Egg, Hamburg steak, Miso Flavored Broiled Cod (appetizer) & Rib Eye Beef Steak w/Stamina Sauce. While all were good, the dishes that stood out were the Hamburg Steak, Rib Eye and Miso Cod. This was the only place (out of many) that took reservations for a large party. Ayumi was excellent at getting our orders correct and serving us in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some good, homey...
