"A small yakitori and kushiyaki den in a large Torrance strip mall, this is one of the South Bay’s most legit Japanese skewer specialists. What’s special about Koshiji is that each skewer gets a gentle smoky flavor while focusing on the quality of the meat. The tradeoff is that much of the saucing is up to the diner at the table — a hit of lemon juice, a dip into mustard, or savory house sauce. —Matthew Kang" - Farley Elliott, Crystal Coser
