"You’ll find a decent plate of tonkatsu on the menu at a bunch of Japanese spots in Torrance, but those fried pork cutlets are the focus at Kagura. This laidback izakaya specializes in everything from premium filets to leaner loin cuts smothered in cheese (all of which pair very well with beer), and serves it alongside an elegant tray of rice, miso soup, and salad. But the star of the show here is their signature millefeuille katsu, made with fatty slices of black pork folded and layered on top of one another. The color reminds us of what we imagine the contents of Meryl Streep’s trophy case look like: brilliantly golden. " - nikko duren, garrett snyder
