Sei-Ko-En Restaurant — Restaurant in Torrance

Sei-Ko-En is a Japanese yakiniku restaurant in Torrance, Los Angeles. The restaurant is simply decorated with promotional menus and posters. Ventilation is not the strongest, so expect to be smelly after the meal. Servers are friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Food is reasonably priced and of good quality. The crunchy Bean Sprouts (USD 8) and Minced Raw Beef (USD 12.50) are both refreshing. Highly recommend the silky-smooth Raw Beef Liver (USD 12.50), which will rock your palate! Don’t forget to order the Mega Mug Sapporo Premium Beer (USD 12) to go with the juicy Kobe Style American Wagyu Prime Rib (USD 22) and flavorful Kobe Style American Wagyu...

⭐ BEST YAKINIKU I’VE HAD IN LA!

Absolutely stunned by the quality and freshness of the food here! So excited that I forgot to take individual photos… but definitely going back for more!! ⭐ ねぎタン塩 Ox-Tongue (w Green Onion) - Not the extremely thin cuts yet still tender! Seasoned just right. ⭐ 特上カルビ Prime Rib - High quality marbled beef, easy to cook, tender and juicy. ⭐ 上ハラミ Beef Skirt - So chewy and flavorful!! Love love love! ⭐ ナムルMix Slightly Steamed Marinated Vegetables Mix - Korean style, marinated veggies. Refreshing, delicious.

EVERYTHING WAS GREAT! Service and atmosphere are nice and cozy as well! Highly...

Recently went with a group of three and all three of us got food poisoning. Headache, stomachache, muscle ache, chills, and diarrhea for almost a week.

The beef tongue and prime rib were great but would not recommend any of the raw items as they might not be prepared safely. Atmosphere and service were good. Used to go here frequently when it was under a different ownership with cheaper prices and personally better flavoring. Sadly, I don’t think i will go...
