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

I ordered the Bento Box with spicy chicken with mushrooms and onion. The thin strips of tasteless dark meat chicken looked like they may have been leftover cuttings from a poultry factory floor. The emphasis on reducing food costs as close as possible to zero continued with the addition of a few small, thin slivers of onion and several almost microscopic pieces of mushroom, both of which added nothing to the dish. This theme continued with the mayonnaise heavy California roll to, incredibly, the tempera dipping sauce, which had been so adulterated with water that it was completely tasteless. There is no one working in the kitchen of this Japanese restaurant who is Japanese or of Japanese descent, which is perfectly fine, if only the food were better and those preparing it were not hamstrung by the restaurant owners emphasis on keeping food costs low.

Korean run faux Japanese restaurant. Fresh sashimi, no one speaks Japanese and the place was hot inside the last time I was there. I dont think I will be returning.
No. 1 Sushi & Roll
1737 Lomita Blvd, Lomita, CA 90717, United States
Came here the other day since I love me some sushi and it was a new place that just opened up. It seems like theyre still in their Grand Opening so all orders will have 10% off.This place is right next to the Savers and you can actually get there if you just so happened to end up at Savers. It also sits next to a Laundromat. The place is nice and cute looking with spots outside to sit in their patio. We were immediately greeted with smiles and since we ordered from the phone, we got to get out order immediately.We ordered a handful of items which include the Spicy Chicken Plate, Edamame, Dragon Roll, Mexicali Roll, The No 1 Roll (Definitely recommend) and other roll I cant remember. Everything I ordered was phenomenal. The rolls were all great with the No 1 Roll and Mexicali Roll definitely winning. The Spicy Teriyaki was too spicy for me but still delicious. The edamame simple and great as a side.Overall, I think I have definitely found my local sushi place. And its even closer than BluFish.

Very cozy, personal Japanese restaurant that has a wide menu selection and many extras, house specials, that are listed on the walls only... Fried rice, Kara age chicken, mapo tofu on rice, big huge bowls of ramen ?, most everything I have tried so far is ?

I like their food and go there frequently. I today I saw the from desk employee placed the order and pack it without musk. I asked and she said because its too hot. I just cancelled my order and left. Please put safety first in this special covid-19 year. Thank you. I still rate this store 5 star because most of the food is good. The fish cut looks which look like from a Japanese restaurant but I wish they can treat the mask things seriously. Thank you.

Just stumbled upon a hidden gem! ? Ive been on the hunt for an authentic Japanese restaurant specializing in Oden, and I finally struck gold! This place is a haven for Oden enthusiasts like me. The flavors are exquisite, and the ambiance is simply charming. If youre a fan of Japanese cuisine, this spot is an absolute must-visit. Kudos to the chefs and server for their mastery in crafting this traditional dish. Ill definitely be back for more!

Cream Pan Bakery Lomita
24020 Narbonne Ave, Lomita, CA 90717, United States
Service: slightly chaotic but friendly.Parking: small private lot maybe 20 spaces (enter on 240th St.) with free street parking.Based in Orange County, Cream Pan finally opened up shop in the South Bay... yasss!!! Located off Narbonne Ave. & 240th St., the bakery was a bright white so it stood out in the residential neighborhood. The street is fairly busy on a Saturday afternoon that I was almost rear ended when I slowed to a sweet spot adjacent to the bakery before noticing the private lot. Yikes!Once inside, its goodies run lengthwise as you enter from the right & peruse your way left through all their offerings. The 1st case displays their best seller -- strawberry croissants -- prepackaged in a box of 6. Gotta get me some of those!! If you buy the box or trays, its slightly discounted (between 2% - 7%) from an individual serving.With just a couple of hours left before closing, I was surprised at the amount of goodies left. According to their website, Cream Pan has a pretty substantial menu & not everything was displayed during my visit. Im guessing theyre working on it since I consider this period as their soft opening to work out their inventory & kinks. There were several people ahead of me, but the line was held up by the customers & staff trying to figure whose first. It took me a second before realizing I could skip ahead to pay for my grab-&-go box. I inquired at the counter if they have a loyalty program. Nope. Not that they need one to encourage loyal patronage, though it would be a nice reward for us customers. Heres hoping they may create one (85°C, JJ, Torrance Bakeries does)The bakery is close to home & walkable, but not in this early fall that feels likes summer. I dont think these strawberry croissants would hold well for a 25-min. walk, maybe doable when the weathers cooler. We were home in a couple of mins. & my 7 YO immediately dove into his; a huge smile lit up upon 1st bite. While the croissants are slightly smaller than other local bakeries, they still have that buttery flaky goodness. Cream Pans has more of a crispy texture, & its stuffed with a light custard & fresh strawberries that you get a delicious taste of both in every bite. Soooooo yummy!! Strawberry season has passed so theyre not as sweet & juicy... I can only imagine how this treat will get better during strawberry season. Oh my!The owner, Yoshinori Inaba, initially focused on cream pans (sweet buns with light custard), hence its name, then expanded to pastries, breads, cakes, Japanese-style sandwiches, & savory rice dishes.I plan on tasting through their menu; starting with: apple croissant, blueberry croissant, strawberry banana croissant, pan au raisin, azuki cream, croquette & yakisoba sandwiches (this noodle sandwich sounds interesting) so I can recommend/use them to cater our morning meetings. Cream Pan has shorter hours than the local bakeries; however, they open early enough & would be a great option for our morning meetings.Only 2 weeks in & Cream Pan already has 40 Yelp reviews... with their rising popularity, Im sure a long line will be forming for their baked goods. Come early so you dont miss out on their treats!Highly Recommended: Strawberry Croissants!!
