Reviews for Inaba Japanese Restaurant in Torrance, CA

Ordered tempura kaiseki dinner. We sat at the counter so that the chef served freshly fried tempura in front of us. Two tempura... dishes are included in the menu but we counted 7 actually. If you like tempura, this is the place. Read more

I have always seen this restaurant, but just recently tried it for the first time. My sister was visiting and wanted soba. So I... was hearing good things about Inaba just recently regarding their soba. We came right as they opened for dinner service andseated right away with a group of 7. Customer service is top notch. All our questions were answered, recommendations were made,dietary concerns were noted. In our party of 7, we ordered Zaru soba, hot soba, hot udon, rice bowl with salmon, sushi, tempuraand more. Everything was delicious! Atmosphere was great, service was awesome. I will definitely be back. Read more

Showed up just as they opened for lunch. Within minutes the place was full. Received hot tea immediately. Ordered chicken... teriyaki which came with a tasty little salad, miso soup, rice and assorted side dishes. All very good, the teriyaki was lesssweet than expected which wasn’t a bad thing. Total for lunch including tip was $18.50, a good value, I will be back soon totry a sushi, tempura lunch. Read more

Just had an amazing dinner here. Service and food were both top notch. Had a variety of tempura dishes plus zaru soba and a few... applies, all were amazing. We also had the tsubaki dinner set. The mini chirashi was perfect with seven nice pieces of sashimi,along with some fried fish and cooked tuna both in great broths + some other small sides. Great experience all around. Read more

Showed up Saturday afternoon at 1 pm with a reservation, got seated immediately by lovely waitresses. They brought us hot green... tea as default, which was very nice of them. I ordered the Kaiseki Lunch special that had everything that I wanted, startingwith a salad, appetizer, sashimi, tempura, soba (or udon), some nigiris, and top it off with ice cream. Salad was a verystandard sesame dressing, sashimi was not the best but the snapper was very good. The appetizer had mozuku, duck, and Misoinfused cream cheese. Tempura veggies & squid & fish were cooked to perfection: crispy but very light on oil. Housemade soba hada very nice texture, broth was a flavorful bonito broth. Nigiris was the best, with tuna, snapper, yellowtail, scallop, uni.Very fresh and flavorful. Will be back for more! Read more

Usually one can tell from the Tempura immediately what quality food overall they may anticipate. Light, fluffy and perfect... tempura translated to a recurring theme for each item. Ordered their premium Bento with miso, rice and ice cream. Great valueand delicious! Read more

Fantastic lunch. Everything was prepared just right. The tempura was light and crispy, the cod was buttery perfection. This is... not your average strip mall Japanese. The quality of food is high and the service is efficient and friendly. Highly recommended. Read more

Amazing tempura. Uni soba was okay so I wouldn’t recommend. Overall good price and attentive services. Recommend making a... reservation ahead Read more
