Mediocre quality and taste of food. The restaurant was almost empty at 12:30 and the taste of food explained why
Excellent small Izakaya in Torrance. The food is wonderful
I discovered this restaurant through a posting on FB. I'm always looking for new places to eat. Well, I'm so very glad to discover Kappo Irifune.We started with Tai and Aji sashimi as in the photo. The fish was so fresh and delicious. We eagerly awaited for the next dishes, crab croquettes, yakitori style pork belly, ikura nigiri, ume & shiso maki, two omakase sushi plates, chawanmushi (came as a surprise with the omakase sushi plates), fried aji bones and head,...everything was so delicious, I completely forgot to take photos of the food. We ate a lot for a party of 4 and was not looking forward to the bill. To my surprise, with all of the food we ate, it was very reasonable considering the quality and quantity. This is some of the best tasting food I have had since living in Japan.Well, what can I say about the service. For starters, we never had to stop our dinner to ask for more water or tea. Not once did we ever had to try to get their attention to request something. They seem to know when we needed something or wanted to order more food, which we did a few times. In times where many restaurants lacks good service, this has to rate as one of the best service I have received in a very long time.I will add, my family was very impressed with this restaurant as well. They talked about how fresh the fish is, now properly seasoned the cooked dishes were, and how warm the dining experience was.This will be our new go to places for sure when visiting LA. Although we live some 350 miles away, we will be back.
Food is good and staff is friendly.
The place to go for excellent chirashi bowls, that arrives in a boat. Service is warm, family friendly, top notch. The dinner specials are all around tasty, fresh and beautifully presented, and the tempura is tender crisp and expertly fried. Order a fruity shochu drink while you're at it. Like home.
Excellent legit Japanese food!
Friendly service, excellent food!
1 star for service, 2 stars for food.Went here Friday night in a party of four. My wife and I ordered dinner sets while our two friends ordered 5 rolls and we ordered a couple appetizers to share.The service is very sloppy. Appetizers arrive but there are no plates to use. Food arrived and there is no soy sauce. We had to ask for everything, including water.When my wife’s and my food came, we waited patiently for our friends food to arrive so we can eat. One roll came soon after but the remainder took over 25 minutes to come. I asked the staff multiple times if the rest of our order was coming. They even asked us for last call, 90 minutes after we arrived, before bringing the remaining food. I begrudgingly walked over to the sushi bar to ask where the last items were.The food was not great either. The takoyaki and croquettes were almost all batter and no good bits like octopus etc. Sashimi quality was passable, not worth trying again.When the bill finally arrived, it was printed poorly and we found multiple mistakes on it. I can’t recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Sashimi was disappointing.Lunch service was slow.
It was horrible!!! I waited for so long and when I finally got my food it was all wrong and they only say “oh so sorry “ and give us a scup of ice cream... never going back
