Very good tempura i highly reccomend their special tempura bowl. Batter is very thin and crispy with good flavor. The sauce it came with was also a perfect blend of savory and sweet. Their shrimp tempura was a little soft but otherwise everything else was perfect.

Great spot for soba and tempura. Set boxes were under $20 and was filling. They also have side purchases for additional piece of tempura (shrimp, chicken, veggies, etc)
Parking behind restaurant and also street parking near and around the restaurant.
Service was great and very welcoming. Recommend getting any of the set pieces to enjoy.

I have been to this establishment about 5 times in the last 2 years, and inconsistency has been my biggest problem. I always order the combo of small tempura bowl with cold soba. In my experience, the tempura is really good when I have them for early lunch, when the restaurant has just opened. For the other times, I found the coating to be too thick and shrimp overfried, which was the case for today. As for the service, servers are polite and fast moving, but lacks attention during busy times. For example, when we went today, the eating hall was half empty, but became fully filled when we got our food. Our server came to our table twice, once to take my finished tray away, then a second time to bring our check. Both times, my wife was still eating, being half done with her food while my water cup was empty and never filled. It felt like they were in a hurry to rush us out than to serve us. Besides those 2 times, the server never checked on us with any question or asking if we need anything. I ended up tipping 9.9% which is something I have not done for 10 years. I guess I was very unhappy with the service and food quality I received today. I probably will try out different tempura places before returning to this one.

What an absolute amazing treat if you’re a tempura lover – this is a must try if you’re in the Torrance area.
Carlos has learned his craft well and it shows. Almost everything on the menu is tempura related so you’ll definitely have various options to try this famous dish.
Prices are also decent for fresh and delicious tempura. 100% a must try if you love tempura and you’re in the Torrance area.

A couple weeks ago, was walking around old Torrance when I saw a bunch of people waiting in line to get seated here. Decided to try it today and it was delicious. The tempura was very light and wonderfully seasoned. We also got a dragon roll and it was also delicious.

Strangely unassuming, this place punches way above its weight class when it comes to delivering light and crispy tempura, amazing service, and great overall value.
While Tendon Tempura Carlos Junior (lol what a name) may not look like anything special from the outside, this is one of those places that will pleasantly surprise you. This is not your average tempura spot!
Their batter is light and crispy, the quality of their ingredients is top notch, and the execution is pure perfection. It’s so airy! You can tell it’s made with love and dedication to the craft. Will it be better than a world renowned Tempura Omakase at Ginza in Tokyo? Perhaps not but it will blow most US tempura spots out of the water.
Their sashimi and soba were also good but really, you must come here for the tempura!
The service is also top notch and friendly without being too pushy. The staff handles interactions perfectly without being overbearing. The culture of japanese welcomeness and politeness is apparent.
While the place itself is unassuming and the interior is nothing amazing to write home about, it’s still very clean, modern, and functional.
Lastly, the value is there! Let’s just say I’d be willing to pay a lot more for the level of quality you are getting (but don’t tell them that).
Overall, if you are missing that light, crispy, and airy tempura you can find in Japan but rarely in the US, you must absolutely come here!

I ordered the tempura bowl and cold soba combo, and it was absolutely delicious! I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m in Torrance.

Good and tasty tempura. First time here and next time I’ll order more dishes.
Portions are on the smaller side, I could have eaten two of the conbos. The staff is friendly and the space is clean.
The shrimp was yummy.

Delicious. Nice portions, fair price. Totally see why this place was so busy even with the crazy rain. We beat the rush and we’re seated right away, we were a party of four. Staff was attentive and courteous. We had two appetizers (duck and garlic mushrooms). Three folks chose the special tempura bowl for the white fish I believe. I opted for the chicken one, most of the other ingredients were the same minus the fish. The two folks we were with were repeat customers so we followed their advice to get the tempura bowls. We left stuffed and needed hours to digest. One thing to note with the duck appetizer, use a little of the salt and some of the yuzu wasabi, it was pleasant altogether.

While the fried food was a little greasy, the braised celery was absolutely delicious, and having them together was a stroke of genius. Rear parking space and street parking.
Inside Mitsuwa Market has the same one -express
