Miyabi Uni@Torrance ★★

Uni Specialty Restaurant. I liked all my favorite seafood in that Uni, Scallop, Salmon & Salmon Roe Donburi, but the Uni in my Donburi happened to be bitter this time. Having Uni is like lottery. Some of them will be bitter. Not busy on Sunday night. Yelp reservations available. Free parking in smelly underground lot. Street parking would be preferable if available.
