The staff is wonderful and the good here is great. My wife enjoyed her cold soba and we shared the deep-fried shrimp egg rolls. Oddly, the wrap wasn’t that crispy but the tail was (which is what I really care about) and the flavor was fantastic. I think it has to do with moisture from the shiso leaf inside. I’m not normally a fan of shiso but this was delicious.
I have to say the bowl was fantastic. Everything was cooked and seasoned well. The portion was big! Great item!
Just a heads up- this place gets warm. My wife and I went on a rather warm day and there’s no AC. Thankfully, where we were sitting, a breeze would come in through the backdoor from the kitchen every now and then.

Delicious appetizers, noodles, and fish. The miso sea bass is to die for! Melt in your mouth delicious and the ginko nuts are light and tasty! Highly recommend the karaage chicken. Enjoyed the buckwheat tea, hot soba and tempera too!

Yummy Izakaya. Patrons speaking Japanese which is always a good sign. Parking in the back which can be a tad tight. Street parking in the front. We had chicken wings (yum) , karage (yum), ginger pork (looked good but i did not personally try), soba (yum). We were lucky to get a table without a wait. The telephone was ringing a lot. The servers were super sweet and the whole team was nice. Looking forward to returning.

What a great find! I want to try everything here. My first trying roasted ginko nuts, and it was interestingly good. Seiro Soba with ume and vegetables was delicious. Friendly staff. Lunch was great and I look forward to visiting for dinner.

The most amazing and authentic soba noodle restaurant in LA county! The soba noodles here have a great texture and go perfectly with their special broth. My most favorite soba here is Seiro soba noodle. This is so addictive and extra noodle is not enough because I want to keep eating! Otafuku is a one of a kind and taste is better than some of soba noodle restaurants in Japan. And soba tea they have is also pretty tasty. And then try their Aji gohan bowl (Spanish mackerel bowl)! Everything here is so delicious! I strongly recommend this most favorite restaurant of mine!

It’s a nice and cozy place to have lunch. Although the menu is limited compared to the dinner menu, there are still a variety of items to satisfy your craving. The tuna bowl was done really well; it was a perfect mixture of Akami and Chutoro. Tempura and fresh homemade soba noodles were great.

Ordered the Japanese Style Jidori Egg Omelet (Dashimaki Tamago), Deep Fried Jidori Chicken (Karaage), Deep Fried Shrimp Egg Rolls with Plum Paste and Shiso Leaves, Zaru Soba (hot temperature) and had Wild Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura on the side. The Egg Omelet was a sweet and plump dish, the omelet was juicy and had a firm but soft texture. The soy sauce with grated radish on the side was a pleasant salty addition to this appetizer. The Deep Fried Chicken was very hot, crispy outside and firm inside chicken meat; complemented by the lemon and sugar on the side. The Deep Fried Shrimp Egg Rolls were a good take on deep fried shrimp, decently sized shrimp and crispy exterior. The Zaru Soba was dense and delicious, soaking up some of the soba broth flavor in its nice QQ consistency. The additional wild shrimp and vegetable tempura were all nice to have on the side too, especially the tempura kabocha slice which had a nice sweetness to it as well. Service was fast and patient with our order. The place is warm and inviting, the interior is well designed with great Japanese themes, lots of woodwork and traditional decor. Parking in the rear can be a little tight but alright at dinnertime. Great spot to have soba noodles.

Heard that Torrence was the place to go for real Japanese food so we made a trip from downtown to Otafuku. Awesome food in a casual setting. The soba noodles were amazing…chewy and delicious with the dipping sauce. Got the tempura as well, which was light and crispy. The mackerel and rice was a perfect side and didn’t have any “fishy” taste to it. Beyond the food, service was also fast and friendly.

Maybe the move is to go for dinner but our lunch experience was only so-so. Vinegar noodles were very good but nothing remarkable about the soba,tempura, or katsudon. Lots of great authentic choices in the area and this one didn’t live up to the others we have tried. Dining room also had very little character.

Dined in the outdoor patio. Indoors is open for dining as well but it’s a bit cramped for my taste and the outdoor patio is nice enough with cute bistro lighting and some nice plants.
Everything we ordered was top notch delightful from the sashimi to the tempura. The tempura was light and delicate, the karaage was very juicy, the pork cutlet permeated all the rice in the bowl in the best way possible. Dining here was a treat.
