Delicious Japanese food. Chef and server are Japanese. Very authentic food and service is excellent. Resto is a bit small. It gets full easily so make a reservation or come early. I guess I will be back to try the other dishes.

I learned of Komatsu through Kyokushin Karate sensei Taku. He frequently comes here. Their specialty katsu don. Its very good. Today, I had the hamburg. The katsu don is better. Komatsu also has very good gyutan.

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 Hiroshi Komatsu 💜

They only used to cater to local TOYOTA and HONDA business men. When Toyota moved, finally realized they needed to serve the normal customer better and with respect. Dont expect a great service. The food was a typical Japanese dishes, enough to satisfy the Japanese food craving.

The best Japanese soul food you can get in the States. Very detailed and delicate taste. All menus have no short cut including small plate of sea weed or miso soup. I’m pretty sure u will have the most amazing experience there in small tiny restaurant right next to liquor store.

Never tried tempura style food before Komatsu. Got spoiled with the clean and simple food presentation. Tasty and crisp. Hours of operation little strange, call to make sure they are open, before you plan to go there.

I visited at lunch time. I ordered Oyster fry meal. Deep fried oyster was good. Miso soup contains lots of umami ingredients and one of the best miso soup around there. However, their handling both server and kitchen doesnt work well and it took much time to get eat. If you wish to go and want to have meal quickly, I strongly recommend you to visit around 11:30am. Seats are limited.

This is one of those hidden gem mom and pop places. It can get very crowded here so be prepared to wait. There are locals that have been coming here for years so if its busy and youre new there is a good chance you may be put on the back burner if you need anything. Just a heads up if youre flying in solo for a quick bite its $20 min to use your card. Not hard to hit that amount here though.

Best katsudon ever! Love their perfectly fried katsu which somehow stays hot and crispy even with the eggy soupy delicious sauce on top. So good. Rice is fluffy and perfect as well.

The interior of the restaurant is decorated with handprints of sumo wrestlers, giving it a nostalgic, Showa-era feel. The tempura bowl is full of freshly fried crispy shiso leaves, lotus roots, white fish, eggplant, sweet potato, and shrimp. Thick black pork cutlet and crispy. Fried oysters, hamburgers, grated beef tongue...there are many more appealing menu items, so Id like to come back again.This is Japanese restaurant Komatsu. Tendon is delicious, and there are many other Japanese menus. Tempura, tonkatsu, fried oysters...which one would you like?

Everything from the tempura, oyakodon, and whimsical salad is exquisite.The best Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles.The owner is also over 190cm tall.She looks scary but shes actually kind.Anyway, if you go to LA, its a recommended shop.Especially popular with bodybuilders.
