Filet is fantastic! Love the Japanese sauce for the pork chops! Would be even better if the crisps are kept dry and crispy from the moisture.

Great Japanese restaurant! Katsu was perfect, uni pasta is our favorite. Came around 6pm and had to wait 20 minutes. Staff was nice and service was fast. Def would come back again!

The food is pretty good and the service was good. I got the mille katsu. The only thing that wasn’t great was the rice that came with the meal. It was cooked well and everything but it tasted like some kind of medium grain rice so the texture was a little different. It was still really good, but maybe different rice would tie the meal together better.

So, Kagura is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Torrance.

Service was good but food was below-average and price was above-average. Pictured here are salmon (texture is rubber) and pork fillet katsu (removed breading to show low pork quality), altogether costing $30 plus tax/tip. Fried with oil that wasn’t fresh resulting in weird aftertaste. Fish was likely old as well.

Kagura reveals an somewhat extensive menu consisting of katsu/tonkatsu variations. For those unfamiliar with katsu/tonkatsu, it’s a variation of chicken fried steak, cutlets, milanesa, wienerschnizel, etc.

Donkatsu is served in original Japanese style. Sauce itself is in familiar taste but addition of MUSTARD and crushed sesame seeds results in deep savory flavor. Katsu and croquette were properly cooked and felt warm & soft in mouth. I tried Millefeuille Katsu Gozen, multi-layered sliced black pork loin cutlet, and this tasted very juicy and tender. Particularly, it’s really juicy and met my expectation. Excellent! Real Japanese style exotic interior, novel taste of miso soup are just a few of many things that come across my mind about this place. Next time, I will try their Premium Filet Katsu Gozen as filet katsu has always been my favorite type of donkatsu. This time, I just tried another. Ranked as my #1 katsu place in CA. Wow~

Excellent restaurant for Tonkatsu!! It was fantastic and my step-dads miso black cod just melted in your mouth. The service was quick and friendly, the interior was simplistic and calming. Although it is a bit of a way from Irvine, I will keep going back…it’s worth it. BE SURE TO RESERVE! They get really busy.
