Inaba Japanese Restaurant Torrance Reviews
I was so pleased with this restaurant.
The quality of the food is the best I've had after dining at a number of sushi restaurants. The food was fresh, exquisitely presented and reasonably priced. I'm getting a gift certificate (if available) for my best friend for her birthday

My wife and I came by for lunch and we were immediately impressed with the more upscale yet still traditional Japanese decor and expansive menu. While her anago sea eel tempura box was finely executed (fresh ingredients and airy fry job), it was a b

the chicken teriyaki meat was so overcooked, and the udon was bland. overpriced for mid quality. the servers were kind and attentive. I'm not sure when they started implementing reservations only, but the check in hostess was pretty rude and sna

Came here for a quick dinner with my friend since she wanted me to eat healthier and we were in the Torrance area. Been to the Inaba on Oahu and also Ichimiann in Torrance so when I ordered the Soba and Tempura set I was amazed at the small portion

This place is a hidden gem located in an unassuming strip mall. It's the type of place you wouldn't find unless you were seeking it out. I usually get the teriyaki dinner combo. It's so consistently outstanding. The tempura and sashi

We ordered 2 bento boxes, regular and deluxe and agedashi tofu. The box came with a generous variety, including fresh sashimi, crisp tempura, savory miso soup, and perfectly cooked agedashi tofu. The sashimi was fresh and the tofu had a great texture
Just came here the first time for lunch.
I ordered deluxe bento and it was delicious. Everything was freshly prepared, sashimi was fresh, tempura was very crispy, chicken were very tender, black cod was my favorite. Very nicely marinated and cooked. Even the vegetables was perfectly cooked
Don't let the exterior fool you, this place is tops.
Everything we ate was exceptional. The Umecha was delicious. A visitor from out-of-town ordered Spicy Tuna and California Rolls, and those were excellent. The chefs used a thicker piece of cucumber for those rolls instead of the little shreds often f
Amazing experience and service.
I ordered the dinner set that came with hot soba and nigiri + roll. We also ordered the small sashimi set. I really liked the soba noodles and the fish was super fresh. Service was amazing and they were kind and attentive.
Food is consistent and authentic and delicious.
We go here at least once a month. Service is on spot and attentive. Recommend for lunch and dinner. Casual but classy ambience and not noisy but not quiet. Good for small groups.

I'd first like to say that I am a spoiled Angelino with access to a lot of top tier Japanese food (especially tempura and udon). So if you've never had tempura and udon before (or do not have dozens of places to compare it to), I think you&
It's part of a whole series restaurants here in south bay
It's part of a whole series restaurants here in south bay with one store in Hawaii. Food is good and well made. The soba is made in the store - saw the chef making it. Tororo isn't widely available nor is Okra and in the summer time it's good to eat
Authentic and amazing Japanese food.
Service was fast and helpful and ambiance peaceful

Simply the best! Amazing staff and owner! Great pasta, salads and sashimi! Extensive sake list too!
Unassuming small place located in strip mall.
Caters to locals little foreigners here. Simple menu focus on set meals of rice bowls sushi sashimi and udon soba noodles
I would give this place 6 stars if I could.
After hearing about this Michelin star place in the South bay, I was excited to see they had a lunch special menu that we could take advantage of checking this restaurant out without paying an arm and a leg. We were able to waltz in on a Sunday 1pm a

This place is amazing! We took a chance as I'm rarely in Torrance. Thanks to the great reviews from other Yelpers, we found a gem. They serve very traditional sushi and tempura. No frilly weird rolls here. Just high quality sushi. I've also heard tha
The food was excellent but over priced.
2 pieces of Sushi Onagi almost $18 !!! A plate of tempera almost $35 iii the service was excellent. Not to many verities of food but a few . I love Japanese food
Excellent quality Japanese food in the South Bay.
Great service in a simple and clean atmosphere. Guaranteed to have a solid Japanese meal.
This is a PSA for the kaiseki only.
Don't come with the expectation of a true kaiseki like I did. It's a good value if you think of it as a tasting menu. But because I expected it to resemble a kaiseki like it was named, I was left feeling disappointed last weekend. Granted the price

It's mother daughter's day and we took our mom here for lunch. We drive from Orange County sight unseen based strictly off the reviews. Thank you yelpers for recommending this place. First it's well hidden in a bland non descriptive strip mall, down

A more old-fashioned Japanese restaurant just north of Del Amo. The food here was really good; I was told they specialize in tenkasu which is tempura or fried foods but actually there's a huge selection and tons of sushi options. I was given a counte
We came in right at opening lunch on Saturday.
We were seated immediately. The restaurant filled up quickly within 30 min. We ordered the miso chicken lunch, ten zaru and charashi bowl. Quality of everything was good, although I have definitely had better quality tempura and zaru elsewhere. Fish
If you're looking for some great tempura.
I highly recommend Inaba. Make sure you make the reservations for the tempura bar. The bar only sits six people. Their tempura are fantastic, lightly battered, crispy, and not oily at all. They serve you with three different types of salt, matcha,
If you are in the mood for a more luxurious sushi lunch
If you are in the mood for a more luxurious sushi lunch experience ($30-50), it is hard to go wrong here. From the bento box to the sushi, all of it is executed well. Great service and good food does mean that it may be difficult to get a table at th

Pretty decent Kaiseki dinner.
Every sine I have been to Japan, I have been trying to find a good Kaiseki meal, which are small multicourse plates that comes out in 1 meal. (Sort of like banchans). I decided to make reservations at Inaba and called a few days ahead to say that I

Thank you management for improving the service! They have a whole new set of waiters and it's night and day. The old staff looked so miserable and never came to check on tables. Now the staff are friendly and attentive. Food is as good as it's always
Food is always great quality.
Good service and very authentic. Small and cozy. It was a busy night with Valentines and thru were able to sit us without reservations which was amazing!! Love this place.
The food and service are outstanding.
Four of us ordered Omakase (not on the menu) week ahead. Very limited seating, make reservations ahead of time. Each dish's portion is perfect to taste the food and we were very full. We were there from 7:30 to 10pm," on Friday and they were ve
Always a great place for japanese food.
They have high quality sashimi, which not every Resturant has. And they make great tempura. We usually get the Bento box to get a little of everything.

Inaba is great for their handmade udon and soba! Their udon is not regular udon, but it's the high-end inaniwa udon. Their tempura is great as well.I tried their $70 Deluxe Tempura Kaiseki Course. It's amazing and plenty of food. It came with Sashimi
This is the best cold/hot soba I've ever had.
They do it well, but the wait was a bit ridiculous. The kitchen was backed up and we waited a good 40 minutes to get the food even though they said we only had 40 minutes to eat. Thankfully they understood.I had the dinner course set, but a lot of th
Connect with users posting reservations for Inaba Japanese Restaurant Torrance

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Inaba Japanese Restaurant Torrance at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Inaba Japanese Restaurant Torrance page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Inaba Japanese Restaurant Torrance to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Inaba Japanese Restaurant Torrance!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
