"Torrance Yokocho is a newly opened restaurant in a suburban strip mall along Pacific Coast Highway, aiming to recreate the authentic yokocho experience with semi-private stalls and a wide variety of reasonably priced Japanese dishes. The venue features colorful banners, hanging lanterns, curtains, vintage posters, and Japanese signs to enhance its ambiance. The space is divided into a large cooking area and multiple wooden stalls where customers can order food through a QR code. The menu includes ramen, grilled yakitori, oden, sushi, karaage, and various beverages including beer and sake. Specialties include torishin chicken skewers, izakaya dishes, assorted sashimi, tempura, and desserts. Despite its broad menu, the venue offers a distinct atmosphere and serves as a new destination for izakaya fare in the South Bay area." - Matthew Kang
