That salty umami flavor bomb is what I miss and my 2 sons demand to return asap. Remember it's only on the lunch special menu during the week. That simple looking sando was my gateway to the unique fusion of Japanese & Italian pastas and it was incredible. You must love spaghetti noodles and UNICO knows how to handle pasta to sauce ratio. I have eaten at other Japanese Pasta spots and Unico is levels better. Which pasta did we devour? Uni pasta with shrimp top fav, one kid ate the curry bolognese filled with ground beef and veggies, Mentai pasta was a bit tangy and you can't go wrong a chicken Alfredo. If Erik is working that day, you will have the best service. The ambiance is spacious with lots of natural light and seating. Lots of free parking!

There were only two waitresses for the restaurant which seems like it's not enough. A bit of a wait for even water and drinks. The food was fine.

Had the opportunity to try Kagura out a couple of days ago. Wife and I got there at 7:45 PM on…read moreSaturday and were promptly seated. After about 10 minutes, a server asked us if we wanted drinks and to order. We ordered. Drinks came out about 5 minutes later. Fantastic. About 30 minutes in, we were wondering what was taking so long with our food (2 katsu sets, age mochi, and shishamo). Nobody checked in on us and we couldn't flag anyone down. One or two servers passed by but were too preoccupied. We were pretty frustrated at around 8:45PM. At 8:50PM, a server comes up to our table (finally) and asks if we wanted to order anything for last call. I told her we did order but never received it. She was shocked and checked on the order. Turns out, the order was never placed in whatever system they have. As an apology, they gave us free edamame, but still never checked on the table again. Our food came out about 10 minutes later. It was okay. When we finished about 15 minutes after the food came out, I had to go to the main entrance to try to get our check. To no surprise, that came out quickly. I was excited to try this place. As stated, the food was okay. The lack of service is inexcusable. I don't suggest this place to anyone. Go somewhere else. There's so many other Japanese spots in Torrance. Try any of those.

Came here on a Saturday evening with no reservation and was pleasantly surprised that we were…read moreseated pretty quickly. The restaurant is absolutely adorable, and the decor makes you feel like you've stepped into a cozy Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxing dinner. I ordered the combo with the sashimi bowl and mixed tempura. The sashimi bowl came with salmon, yellowtail, and tuna, and everything was incredibly fresh. The fish was buttery, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The tempura was just as impressive. It included shrimp, cantaloupe, potato, and shishito peppers, all fried to perfection. Everything was light, crispy, and wonderfully crunchy without feeling greasy. I especially loved the variety of vegetables paired with the shrimp. My friend ordered the soba noodles and was kind enough to share a few bites. They were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Honestly, everything we tried was fantastic. Overall, I had a great experience and can't wait to come back to try more dishes from the menu. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh, delicious Japanese food in a cute and welcoming setting!

Party of two for lunch. Arrived as the restaurant opened and shown our seats promptly…read more They were out of soba for oyaku jyu combo so went with the udon. Friend order chicken katsu and was told they were out of cali rolls and subbed for gyoza. My lunch arrived much in advance, their lunch arrived incomplete. The rest of the order arrived as we were finishing up the meal and they had to take the rest to go. Staffing was sparse which could've contributed to the pacing and service. The food quality was just okay. My chicken was a bit tough and the udon noodle was a little bloated in the broth. The miso soup was a bit salty. Probably my fault as I waited to eat for our full order to arrive. Been here before and the food quality was good; providing a simple but tasty home cooked vibe. This time not so much.

Sake was smoooth. Even though it was very busy, the food came out quickly. We ordered almost everything and it was delicious. The grill imparts a great char, especially on the shrimp. Flavors are well balanced and portions are decent sized. Servings are larger than I anticipated as they're larger than other yakitori places. Prices are on point so you can order quite a few things and share. It can get a bit loud with all the people but isn't that what a good yakitori is like? Nice to see a vibrant pippin' establishment.

The one mix up in our order was quickly set right. Ambience is honestly A+. Very cute setup and everything down to the teacups is adorable. Great vibes for hanging around. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't it. Tare was surprisingly bland, which does not pair well with the fact that it was used so sparingly. Saying tare is bland anywhere, but especially for a yakitori place just feels crazy to me. The chicken skin was nice, but that adjective would have been "amazing" at any other yakitori place. The wings and beef were cooked well for tenderness, but again, the tare was bland and the beef, while good, was sauced with a dead ringer for Mr. Yoshida's. Again, Mr. Yoshida's isn't bad. It's yummy, BUT it's not a flavor I'm bothering to go out for. The sauce B set actually had nice flavors, but for $4, it should not have been plated with a micropipette. None of the sauce components are pricy, and I've seen people sneeze out something more substantial. Just don't get the sweet potato salad. Whatever you're imagining, and there a quite a few ways you could interpret "sweet potato salad," know that's not it. You know when you pop a song lyric into google translate, set it to Aramaic, then translate it back? That. That's the interpretation of sweet potato salad you will get. Just poorly constructed flavor-wise. I don't know whose idea that was but please take it away. I didn't want to be wasteful, but I regret eating it. I've never before regretted eating anything with bacon. At some point, I had to admit the only thing I still felt like ordering was the check and taco bell. Currently writing this while waiting to be seated at another yakitori place in Gardena. Lucky for me, but not Torikizoku, they are suffering in part from being located in an area swimming with great yakitori. It's just not up to par for the area at all.

I've tried their tonkotsu ramen as well as their tan tan men, which was a unique flavor profile. It's sesame broth based. Today, I opted to have the Sung Hon ramen, which is hot and sour. The first sip definitely got me as I almost coughed. Ha ha. I was able to stay strong and devoured the whole bowl. I also had the gyoza which were also tasty. Overall, the food was good and the service provided by Deyanira was great. Deyanira was friendly, polite, and cordial. I appreciate her friendly demeanor and positive attitude.

So people needed to squeeze by and then one guy asked if he could sit for a moment at my table. I said okay. But then I think he planned to stay at my table until finally my waiter moved him! There was a seat at one their tables the whole time. Then their waitress wedge herself with her back toward me in between the tables and I had to stop eating. Very disruptive and rude. Taking a while for the six people to order so I nudged her and I asked her to move and she seemed upset that I did that but didn't say anything no apology so it was very uncomfortable and I was rushing through my food so I burnt my tongue on the hot soup again even though I knew it was hot because I just wanted to get out of there. And then when I was done, I had to wait a while for the check and then they couldn't process the Apple Pay at the table so then I had to go to the front and wait for somebody to attend to me there overall this experience was not fun and stressful and I had got there right when they opened. I sure wish I had selected a different seat!! I wouldn't get the Nabeyaki soup again. It was really big and had a lot of end pieces of tough napa cabbage. There were two pieced of shitake mushroom and the standard thin fish cake slice. There was and egg in the soup and a three small chicken pieces. On the side were three small pieces of green bean and two tempura shrimp.
