Izakaya popolari a San Pedro

Great food for the price. What you would expect in Japan izakaya.

Can’t say enough about Hasu!! Really the finest yakitori and small plates period. Even better than Japan from my experience of 66 years, born and raised in Yokohama……..spent lots of Yen post pandemic in the all kinds of raunchy, smoky yardbird hole in the walls across Tokyo but for some reason when it comes to chicken on a stick………I come back here!! It ain’t cheap but quality and skill of the master dude in the back of the house is worth the trip to Torrance!!

Food, service, atmosphere. Everything was great! Started off with Shikuwasa sour, which was very smooth and refreshing! My favorite appetizer was kinpira renkon! There so many options, so I can’t wait to visit and try them all!

Been wanting to try Happa Restaurant for a while now since they opened at the Gardena Hotel, and they did not disappoint. All the dishes come out hot and delicious, and the service was outstanding. We will be back soon!

This might be my favorite place to dine for a fun, casual, and delicious meal! We love taking people for their first yakitori experience because it’s so unique. As usual, everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly and our guests were delighted. I highly recommend the pork belly wrapped shiso basil. We all enjoyed it so much that I ordered it twice!
