Tokyo Thick-Cut Tonkatsu Specialist Tonkatsu Marushichi Opens in Torrance | Eater LA

"From its origins in Tokyo’s Monzen-Nakacho, this thick-cut tonkatsu specialist brings its signature yaki katsudon—crunchy panko-crusted slabs of pork set over egg and rice, reputed by some to be the thickest katsu in Tokyo—to its first U.S. outpost in Torrance. The take-out-only shop offers a streamlined menu with three versions of the signature bowl (a one-pound premium loin, a third-pound deluxe loin, and a half-pound tenderloin), plus a katsu sandwich and katsu curry, with sides like wasabi, spicy mayonnaise, and a signature sauce, and green tea to drink. Known for a pale pink center achieved through longer, low-temperature cooking, the katsu stays tender and moist; seating is limited to a few counter chairs, and hours run 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily." - Rebecca Roland

Okay, without a doubt, this is the best tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) you will ever eat - even compared to the best restaurants in Japan. Seriously. The cutlet is soft and juicy, with an amazing taste. The tonkatsu sauce was simply sublime. Even the bread they use for the sandwiches was fluffy and very delicious. Honestly, all their food items were more than delicious. Try their curry as well, as you will taste none better. I don't exaggerate when I say they should be a Michelin starred restaurant. I would even make it a point to drive here from anywhere just to eat their tonkatsu. Yes, it's that good! While they are mainly a take-out style restaurant, it's worth taking the time to eat at their counter while your food is hot. Already, I want to go back!

Very home style restaurant that feels like Oba's kitchen. The food is tasty, clean and comforting. The service is slow, but that's ok. Forces you to relax and enjoy yourself. The meals are filling and yummy. I enjoy this place very much.

Since it was the second week opening, there was a line out the door to order. And then it took 40+ minutes to get our order. All the meals are made to order so that was cool, but they do seem short staffed in the back. If you’re expecting crispy/flakey tonkatsu, this isn’t quite the place. The to-go nature makes the port cutlet a little soggy by the time we ate it. It tastes really soft and tender, but not the tonkatsu we’re used to. The presentation is exquisite though. The box is very unique and wrapped very nicely.

The food was pretty good. The breading and katsu for the pork ribeye was very good. My issue is that since it comes in a closed box, similar to other experiences here for takeout. The katsu becomes soggy and soft and the steam just softens it. I ate it in standing tables they they had, so I had it fresh. The pork ribeye was super tasty and fatty. The meat was very tender and very great quality. The rice had a bit too much sauce in it but the egg was nice and fluffy! You order thru a touch pad and the food is made to order which guarantees freshness. The staff was super nice and very polite! The decor was very minimalist and there was lemon water available if you're waiting or choosing to eat there standing.

Came on 7/8 which was day 2 of the grand opening. Only the yaki katsudon deluxe and the katsu sando are currently available. The katsu sando had the thick patty as advertised and a pretty strong mustard flavor to give it some dimension. Could have been a bit more tender/pink though. Katsudon is a solid portion of food with a thinner katsu and a fluffy egg omelette. Good flavor, didn’t need any extra sauce, breading could have been a bit crispier. Overall really good, hopefully the full menu will be available soon!

20 out of 10 Worth every penny I spent here. The aesthetic and the environment here is simple and very cute. And the taste is just as well, but blasting with flavor. The meat is not dry at all and super juicy. It looks exactly like the picture does. Overall presentation is extremely extremely well done and makes you feel like you’re in Japan! I would come back here everyday if I could. The pork is fresh and taste ultra premium . The staff is super friendly. Must visit if you are in Torrance

Marushichi tonkatsu prides itself in japan for having the thickest cuts of tonkatsu. If you look at the pictures online then you'll understand right away. Well they finally opened a location in Torrance! This is their grand opening week! Their Yaki tonkatsu deluxe is probably their most popular option. It has a big piece of tonkatsu in it laying on top of a bed if egg and rice. Originally priced at 22 dollars but it is discounted for thie grand opening. It was really good and I highly recommend it! Juicy and fatty on the inside and crispy on the outside!

Update: it took less than 10 minutes now that it's less busy. It's expensive but now I can justify it Original 1 Star Review Got the Katsu Sando order at 12:02 got it at 1:20 P.M. It's a good sandwich but waiting 1 hour for it that unacceptable. I could have gone somewhere else to eat and come back. I'll updated when I come back next week.
