My friends like their yuzu broth sobas as well! Noodles have a great texture and I never leave feeling heavy. Great spot for a quick, easy, and fresh lunch! Better to eat this one there than take out! Got take out here for the first time today and the tempura sauce lid wasn't on right, so all our tempura got soaked. :(

I ordered the Yuzu chashu soba and sampled the Ten zaru soba with tempura. Both entrees reminded me of when I visited Hakone Japan last year and were outstanding in taste. The small eatery is very simple in decor with pics of the famous bamboo forest in Japan and gets packed with patrons on a Sunday. Service was on point and friendly. I highly recommend this hole in the wall gem.

We got the premium katsu and their new matcha drink. The fatty ribeye was so juicy and decadent. The matcha drink was so creamy and tasty, and it came with matcha ice cubes, which is a first for me. Worth the reasonable price! You order at the takeout screen and the food came out quickly. There are only 8 counter seats, but turnover is quick. It's very cozy and homey inside. Parking is ample and easy. They also had free snacks at the end!

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.

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.

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.

I went on a sunny day so there was no shade to hide under. It got pretty warm. Interior: Ichimi Ann is a very small restaurant. It is a bit cramp so there really was no choice but to wait outside. The tables kind of have a sticky feel. Service: We wait for about 30 mins for a table for 6. The menu is slightly different from their other location so it was a bit confusing to order. The waitress took our order and brought us our food. She was polite but did not really interact with us much. Food: I got the deluxe tempura rice bowl combo with zaru udon. The udon was very refreshing especially since the day was pretty warm. If you like Carlos Junior's tempura bowls, you should definitely give Ichimi Ann a try. The portion is pretty big and the tempura was fried perfectly. It did not taste oily at all.

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.

The times I've visited, the front of house is run by a single server who is friendly and polite. The inside of the restaurant is a bit run down but is the epitome of the old Torrance Japanese feel that locals know all too well. The menu is simple with classic Japanese faire like hamburg steak, tempura, katsu, and small izakaya dishes. Their tempura is perfectly crisp and comes in a plate set or appetizer if you want to keep it simple. I'm a big kaki fry (fried oyster) fan and their tartar sauce is bang on delicious. I believe they're known for their Hamburg steak which is next up in my need to try list. Their hours are a bit more limited than I would like, closing around 7:45pm but I happily work my schedule around stopping by just so I can grab a bit to eat!
