Kotosh in Lomita

Unique restaurant in the South Bay that offers Peruvian & Japanese food. In my opinion, its less of a fusion and more of a place that just serves two types of food. Their Japanese food seems to just be American rolls. The taste was good, but nothing special. The service is friendly and fast. They sit in a plaza so theres free parking, although spaces can be somewhat limited. Prepare to pay $30-50 per person. Worth checking out.

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 soy sauce. Lol

Delicious Peruvian good!! It’s one of my favorite restaurants! I absolutely love the food here you must try highly recommend! The waitresses are very attentive and kind as well.

One of the best restaurants I’ve tried so far. Decided to eat my country’s food today, I was in the mood!! If you’ve never tried Peruvian food, start here fs! I just wish that they can put Peruvian or Japanese ambient music because it would match the vibes more. The service is very nice. Big restaurant and it’s very comfortable. Large portions of food for sure. The papa alawan cayina was SOO GOOD. The avocado sushi rolls are amazing as well. I got tallarin saltado, OMGGGG IT WAS SO GOOD I SO RECOMMEND THIS PLACE U GOTTA TRY IT

So glad to find this place in Lomita, excellent food, felt like I was back in Lima again. Super impressed they also had peruvian wine on their wine list!

My favorites were the cebiche mixto and the arroz chaufa mariscos. So much food and so yummy!

A mix between Japanese and Peruvian food… definitely something new but overall amazing! Their sushi was firm and very tasty; I got The Krunch (8pc) and Acebichado roll (8pc). I also got the Tallarin Verde with Chicken Katsu; the pasta had a creamy pesto sauce. So delicious! The service was professional and they were all so kind.

This place did not disappoint. I had this in my to do list for several years. Was in the neighborhood and the wife saids hey isnt this in your list? Heck ya it is!Fantastic sea food soup, had random rice bits in it so it felt like leftovers... Super tasty leftovers I have to say! Will order again! Had some sashimi, had a fried seafood platter. Even orders a sushi roll! OMG everything was very tasty! I wish this place was closer to my work, as Ill be there every chance I get!Kotosh gets my recommendation thats for sure!

Wow! This little restaurant tucked away in a strip mall is a paradise for Peruvian/Japanese food, and will become a frequent haunt on my trips to South Bay. Intimate, clean, prompt, friendly, and helpful all describe the atmosphere and service. Fresh, vibrant, balanced, and innovative describe the flavors of the dishes we tried. If youre looking for a quick date night place, or a fast lunch, Id highly recommend Kotosh. The only caveat Id add, is to bring a light jacket. The dining room was likely in the mid 60s, so a little bit brisk for dining, but that doesnt warrant not visiting, nor my subtracting a star from my review, because everything else was THAT good..

THE GREEN SAUCE! I am torn because the food itself is incredible... But then additionally so is the sauce. I dont know what they put in it - probably not crack, but its amazing and it accompanies virtually everything!
