The Best Restaurants in LA’s South Bay, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"Torrance has plenty of izakayas and drink-friendly Japanese restaurants, including Ojiya and Torihei, but the best overall one has to be Hachi, which gets filled with salary folks spilling out of local offices and the nearby Honda Motor Co. headquarters. The weathered wooden tables and traditional Japanese decor makes Hachi fill like a true suburban Tokyo hangout. In terms of izakaya menus, Hachi’s offerings are fairly focused, keeping to Japanese drinking dishes like pressed saba sushi and grilled chicken skewers. Adventurous types should definitely order the motsu nabe, a shareable hot pot of beef intestines and cabbage simmering with a soy dashi broth." - Matthew Kang
