Inaba@Torrance ★★★

Great Handmade Udon, Soba, and Tempura. Udon is handmade and Inaniwa style. Cold Tororo (grated mountain yam) Soba is my favorite. Tried it with Mentaiko this time. It's great. I added egg, but since it's not poached, it didn't help with the flavor. $9 Tempura Side is a great deal and is delicious. Their Chicken Teriyaki is great. It's moist, tender, and fantastic this time, but it's not consistent every time. Call-in reservations recommended, even if it's same day. Free parking in lot.

Cold Mentai Tororo Soba $19, Tempura Side $9, Egg $2

Small Hot Udon $7

Chicken Teriyaki Combination $20

Tempura Side $9
