Populairste Izakaya in Torrance / Carson

Hello, I’m not big on writing reviews partly because I normally talk about the experience but what a great first impression. Everything was delicious and the recommendations was both adventurous and still amazing. I’m for sure coming back for the unagi strawberry which you would think is not even supposed to work. But now I definitely have a new craving for. Everything was clean and welcoming. The lighting let me see what I was eating and the food came out quick but everything felt thoughtful and not rushed which was so nice since I came in super last minute. Shout out to my server who was accommodating and adding a nice touch with her notes on each dish.

Authentic Japanese cuisine! Really enjoyed the hotpot and handmade udon! Definitely going back again!

All I can say is this local grilled yardbird joint is the absolute best I’ve experienced and that includes my hanging out in Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka plus Honolulu since childbirth!! All the skewers are professionally and expertly prepped and presented. Side and rice dishes are deliciously authentic and truly complement all the hard work and time put in by the back of the house. And service is always very Japanese!!

Formerly Wadamitsu. Now a sole owner. Food,service, & atmosphere still as wonderful as ever. Shared the fried oyster meal, tuna-hamachi-salmon (subbed salmon for 1/2 & 1/2 tuna-hamachi) bowl, tofu chicken jellyfish salad & yellowtail sashimi appetizer. The fish was generous & fresh. Will return soon.

Been wanting to try Happa Restaurant for a while now since they opened at the Gardena Hotel, and they did not disappoint. All the dishes come out hot and delicious, and the service was outstanding. We will be back soon!
