Kura Sushi Noodle - Torrance

We come here often, and we always have a great time. The conveyor belt style is fun, and you can order items freshly made via the iPad at each table. The staff are great, very friendly. And there's always enough parking. Wait times are usually long, because it's so popular, so be sure to arrive early

If I could give no stars... I WOULD! This used to be my favorite Kura location.... And most convenient sushi spot around. But ever since they changed the app and the wait list system it seems like the wait list is longer than ever and extra confusing. The girls at the front door aren't always the nicest. I was told by one that she checked me in and then an hour later another lady came out to ask my name and then told me she was going to check me in. We got a text saying our table was almost ready and still waited another 30 minutes outside. We had a party of 2, and there were several counter top seats available. We watched bigger parties get seated and the counter top stay open for at least 20 minutes. We were the last ones to get seated from the group of people that were already standing there when we arrived and then watched 5-7 more groups get seated who arrived after us. Seemed intentional and unwelcoming. Sadly I don't think we'll be coming back to this location.

This is the most disappointing Kura location I have visited. The staff member by the name of Martha was in charged of calling the names from the list and she did a poor job. We found it strange that she would ask folks their names instead of just calling out the names from the list. We added our name at 6:36pm and weren't seated until 7:25pm when the wait time was around 30-40 minutes. It felt like Martha did not have a clear system on who to call out next. She just called a name she deemed fit. I have never experienced this at a Kura. There were so many other guests that were confused as to why they were being passed up by folks that just got there and entered their name. We were seated by the door and could hear other guests asking about their place in line. Martha even told a guest that the folks in front of them waited 2 hours. Someone waited 2 hours?! Then why weren't they seated before us? We were there for an hour. The conveyor belt was dirty, our table wasn't wiped down. There were finger prints on the plates that I ordered start from the kitchen. Not all Kuras are made equal, I'm definitely staying away from this location. P.S. This is the only location where I did not receive a text saying that my table was ready! We had to keep asking what place we were in line.

This is by far my favorite sushi spot. It is affordable and the staff is ALWAYS super friendly. It's definitely a spot that gets very busy. Literally every day. My sister and I have a favorite girl who is Martha she is so sweet and attentive. Since we come here all the time she already knows our orders, even when we do not dine in and just order for pick up. since this place is so busy, it is hard to expect perfection even when sitting at the bar, you can see the chefs working as fast as they can. overall, even with the new app and system, I still enjoy my sushi here and the staff is great. ambience is great.

Still pretty fun and a quick bite to eat. I just wanted to update on the favorites: Salmon skin roll (hand or cut) Dashi Olive Shrimp Umami oil Salmon Salmon Toro Sea Bream with Yuzu Yellow tail Seared Salmon (either one) Texas Roll You can check out on app and get rewards. Quick and easy .
