Ojiya Japanese Torrance

Best udon carbonara I've had! Detailed breakdown below: Service, 4/5 Friendly service! Take out was missing utensils and napkins though. Price portion, 4.5/5 Udon carbonara ended up being about $17 not bad, but portion didn't fill me up. Taste of the food, 5/5 I haven't had an udon carbonara better than Ojiya. The sauce is savory without being too heavy, the udon noodles are always cooked perfectly, the mushroom adds an interesting layer of texture, and the pork belly is jam packed full of delicious fatty flavor. All together, a perfect bowl of noodles that beats out almost all other traditional pasta dishes I've had.

Wish Yelps would let me rate 4.5, that would be dead on balls accurate. Can't drop a full 5 here, but this place is quite good.Clearest signal: most everyone dining in there was speaking Japanese and getting hammered and having an awesome time. Udon Carbonara was the real deal, and the Tonkotsu Ramen was quite good as well. A broth, A pork, B noodles (which was weird). Had a few nigiri that were excellent as well, but I'd say most of the diners weren't eating sushi so my take was this is more Izakaya style.You won't regret this one highly encourage!

Awesome Japanese food! A little pricey but it has everything you want for Japanese food. They all taste great, so I think it is worth the price. I ordered udon carbonara, Ika Yaki, and Beef Tataki Set. Amazing experience, and the restaurant is always busy at night, so it is better to make a reservation before going. FYI, don't go there when you are very hungry because the portion is somehow small

Small izakaya serving authentic Japanese small plates. We had the rainbow roll, toro sushi, hamachi collar, and omurice.The rainbow roll was good, and the fish was fresh. The toro ? doesn't taste as premium as I would like, but it's good enough. What was troubling about the service was that the servers couldn't tell toro sushi from their beef sushi. They gave us the beef sushi first, and we promptly told them the order was for toro and not beef. 2 servers have to come by to look real close before they realized that the ? was indeed beef.The omurice was decent, but we would have like the egg to be a lot more runny.

Food is great for the price. I’m really happy with the service.Food: 4/5
