Ojiya Japanese Restaurant Torrance - Japanese restaurant in Torrance - 21008 Hawthorne Blvd, USA

Extensive menu with tasty offerings. Ordered: ~Udon Carbonara: udon was bouncy and chewy topped with mushrooms and bacon strips in a creamy sauce. Good flavor. Must try. ~Spicy Miso Ramen: flavorful broth and chewy noodles. ~Takana Fried Rice w/ Clam Chowder Croquette: fried rice was good, loved the pickled mustard greens. The egg was a lil overcooked. The croquettes were crispy. Small restaurant with limited seating. Plenty of parking.

We got food delivered. First of all, dasher had to wait forever. And the foods were terrible. Katsu was overcooked and yet cold when we got them. And udon was pathetic small. Will never order anything from here.

Small izakaya serving authentic Japanese small plates. We had the rainbow roll, toro sushi, hamachi collar, and omurice. The rainbow roll was good, and the fish was fresh. The toro 🍣 doesn't taste as premium as I would like, but it's good enough. What was troubling about the service was that the servers couldn't tell toro sushi from their beef sushi. They gave us the beef sushi first, and we promptly told them the order was for toro and not beef. 2 servers have to come by to look real close before they realized that the 🍣 was indeed beef. The omurice was decent, but we would have like the egg to be a lot more runny.

Service was great and food was delicious! I got the sake flight sampler and the salmon ikura bowl. The salmon ikura bowl was amazing and fresh. This was my second time here and both times did not disappoint.

Excellent service even though the kitchen was about to close. The waitress was patient with answering questions since this was my first time here. Our table was too small for how much we ordered; although, that did not really bother me, but it may affect other people's opinions about the atmosphere. I ordered the pressed mackerel nigiri and was unexpectedly not raw. It had been pickled. It was a treatment of mackerel that was new to me. My tempura was perfect, all of it was perfect. I do not remember the last time I had such light, fresh, crispy tempura and it was after had cool for 15 minutes. Amazing. The fried rice was excellent too. Not heavy and a little sticky. The omelet was done exactly to our request. Would love to return and try more of their grilled items.

Awesome Japanese food! A little pricey but it has everything you want for Japanese food. They all taste great, so I think it is worth the price. I ordered udon carbonara, Ika Yaki, and Beef Tataki Set. Amazing experience, and the restaurant is always busy at night, so it is better to make a reservation before going. FYI, don't go there when you are very hungry because the portion is somehow small

A friend and I were visiting from Atlanta so we stopped here to eat. The food was so delicious! I plan on coming back here on my next trip to California. 😋

We had lunch here for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised to find tasty, authentic Japanese food, not some wannabe copycat. I liked the subtle seasoning of each dish which were carefully prepared. The menu is extensive so would love to visit again to try something else. It's located in a strip mall with ample parking in front. Servers are friendly.
