" Waraku has become my go-to spot for Japanese cuisine! I love how they have rotating specials that keep things interesting. The seafood is always fresh, and I appreciate the authentic preparation methods. My last bowl had a generous helping of ikura, which was a treat! Prices are fair for the quality you receive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Things have changed at Waraku post-pandemic. I noticed a price hike, although the quality and freshness remain top-notch. It’s still worth visiting for a quality Japanese meal, but you may feel the pinch in your wallet based on the increased prices. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a slightly disappointing meal here, but I'm willing to give it another shot. The seafood was fresh, but the miso soup was overly salty. I think I came on a busy day, and maybe the kitchen was off its game. The ambiance was nice for a casual outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant serves some of the most authentic Japanese food I've encountered in the area. The fish in my chirashi bowl was beautifully presented and tasted fresh. I've traveled to Japan often, and I was pleased that Waraku captured the essence of what I love about their food. Ambiance was a bit chaotic, given its popularity, and service sometimes felt stretched. Would I return? Absolutely! " (*Curated Review*)

" Waraku is one of my favorite sushi places in Torrance! The fish is always incredibly fresh, and they have a great selection of sake. I love their negi toro donburi – it’s just the right amount for lunch, and it feels authentic. Service can be hit or miss, depending on how busy they are, but the food keeps me coming back. It can get packed, so I suggest making a reservation. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely time at Waraku, but I must say, I expected more for the price. The fish was fresh and well-prepared, but portions seemed smaller than I remember from previous visits. Service was decent, though the restaurant was quite busy. Would recommend it for a special occasion but be prepared for potentially smaller servings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Waraku turned out to be as good as I had hoped! The freshness of the fish and the unique dishes are a big plus. However, be prepared for small portion sizes relative to the price. But honestly, the flavors make up for that. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
