Izakaya Hachi Torrance - Carson

Bast Japanese best izakaya restaurant in that area. I would recommend for date and party.

Absolutely amazing gem in Torrance. We had the chef's tasting menu. Highlights were the chicken cartilage skewers, sashimi plate, pork belly, and steak. If you get the hotpot with tripe, make sure to eat it fast, the tripe gets tough quickly. Service was good until near the end, it took a while between our second to last course and the hotpot, but they gave us an extra dish without us even mentioning the wait!

More on the expensive side for what you get. The host was not too kind. He was not to helpful. Seem angry and somewhat upset since I couldn’t understand what he was saying yo me

Excellent! The right spot, the right mood with excellent food and service!!

Visited here in 2017, and had dreams over the years about how amazing the pork shabu/Ramen dish is. Back now in 2023 having visited Japan and eaten a couple dozen bowls of Ramen, and still this place is just as tasty as ever. All ingredients are super fresh, and the flavoring is just perfect. The place is nice too with a wood decorated facade, and the staff were attended helpful.
