This small restaurant is located in a strip mall on Carson St. in old Torrance.. it was very busy and popular even on a Monday night! The food was outstanding starting with the beef salad.. it was very tasty and refreshing. Moving on the fancy sashimi was perfect.. very fresh and flavorful. Their beef is top notch whether it was the ribeye or the wagyu tartar service with uni and caviar.. the latter had a beautiful presentation and was equally delicious. The salmon truffle carpaccio was another winner. The service was nice and the counter seating was very comfortable. It might be a good idea to do a reservation especially if it is a busy night. the space is relatively compact and fills up really fast. This is a very authentic dining experience which has not been watered down for an American audience.. real deal outstanding Japanese food. They have tons of robata choices and their crispy pork ribs looked amazing.. def trying them on our next visit. If you love grilled meats and amazing flavor Izakaya Hachi is a must try.

Met up with some friends at Hachi for dinner and this place definitely feels like a very traditional Japanese spot. The menu has a lot to offer and we went all out ordering a bunch of different things to share. The raw oysters were super fresh, pork belly was nicely grilled, and the scallops were on point. We also tried nigiri and sashimi — everything tasted clean and well-prepared. The snapper collar was a nice treat and the chicken karaage was crispy and juicy, perfect with a squeeze of lemon.
One thing I noticed — they don’t even have a California roll on the menu. That’s when you know it’s the real deal, authentically Japanese.
Service was friendly and the vibe is laid back, definitely a good spot for hanging out with friends over quality Japanese food.

Absolutely love the food here. When I come visit my family in LA they take us here, and I’ve yet to have a dish I didn’t like. We always get the fried gobo, the jidori wings are really tasty, the beef tataki is some of the best I’ve had in the area. I tried a couple different things today the toro taku and the pressed analog, both were delicious and definitely something I’d get again. I wasn’t too crazy about the Japanese potato salad with mentaiko, I feel like it needs a but more mayo. The karaage is also very tasty, and we also had some kaki fry which was very good and the crab croquettes are some of my favorite things to get here.
Overall this is one of my top places, sometimes inconsistent and service can lag a bit, but it’s never been much an issue to affect my review.

The restaurant is not large, with compact seating, and only accepts reservations, no walk-ins. The service is very warm and the quality of the dishes is very high. I really liked it. Many dishes were so good that we ordered another portion after finishing the first. Delicious!

I drove over 45 mins to meet my associate for brief biz meeting over beers with some izakaza foods.
OMG, serves constantly ask us to order more foods and more drinks. We though it was good customer service but it was NOT.
They ended to bring bills that we didn’t even ask for bills.
Most important thing is, the day I went was MONDAY. there was plenty of tables empty.

Very authentic looking Izakaya right in the middle of Torrance. Loved that the beer comes with frosted cold glasses and the atmosphere is super chill. Plates were a little pricey for the size, but everything was fresh and delicious. The wait staff was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

The food here tastes amazing. The “skewer” items are a very generous portion.
Try the beef tongue. The meat is extremely tender and soft.
The strip steak has a great sauce with it.
The Kobe beef and uni sashimi is incredible.

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.
