Musha in Torrance...this restaurant is awesome...the food was so delicious and the environment is casual and inviting. Service was adequate and attentive.


Bean noodle salad with chicken

Ebi Mayo Mayo - battered shrimp with mayo sauce topped with caviar

Cheese Risotto - Japanese brown rice risotto cooked in chicken broth and mixed with cheese, onion, and bacon with a touch of cream

Asari Clams with Bok Choy - steamed clams in broth with Garlic and Japanese mushrooms

Buta Kakuni - Pork Belly Braised for 4 hours in soy sauce, mirin and sugar...ultra tender, fatty and luscious....served with potato and hardboiled egg

Dinner for two - 50 dollars (including one large bottle of Asahi beer).....very resonable given the quality and quantity of food...

I definitely recommend this place

i'm so dayem full i'm about to pass out....

nice find....thanks. :applaud:

Heh, you're in my neck of the woods eating out more than I am in my own backyard... :sweat:

$50?? Very reasonable. Especially if you had to loosen the ol' belt a notch. :thumbsup:

lol...i wanted to go there on previous occassions but it didn't work out...well it's in the same plaza as mitsuwa so it is in your neck of the woods...:)

i wasn't that hungry to begin with so i was about to die by the time i walked out there..i felt gluttonous..the two of us called it a night after dinner...too full to do a dayem thing....

the atmosphere was lively and energetic...they have a fairly large menu...i would have definitely ordered more if i went with more ppl or if i didn't need a wheel barrow to exit the restaurant.... :beaten:

ahh...so right next to Mitsuwa in Torrance, i have a general idea where that is...since i drive there once in awhile. That Mitsuwa has some different variations of bento box meal selections, and also the hand roll/ sushi rolls are available there, the only other place i've seen them was in Oahu, Hawaii at some sushi place.

yeah i like that mitsuwa....i don't go there much tho..cuz i go to the one in j-town.

yeah musha it's right on the same property near all the other restaurants...right off of carson st..

driving down from l.a. i just take the 110 south, exit carson turn right off the ramp.

yea, last weekend, i made the drive out along the 5 to J-town, mainly for Daikokuya, oh so so good, there was a wait for lunch, but i had to have my ramen... :thumbsup:

I prefer the drive into Torrance, i either take the 405 or the 91 from OC, and head to Mitsuwa area...
personally, i like the food court of Mitsuwa better than the Marukai one, but the Torrance foodcourt Mitsuwa is probably a little better than OC's...

i've only been to 2 curry joints in l.a.

Curry House

and Hurry Curry of Tokyo

I've been to Curry House. If I had the money to burn, I'd open up a franchise up here.
