"Coupled with a hefty panko crust, Kimukatsu is about as good as one can get at a mid-range tonkatsu spot in Japan. The curry option, served at a dense, almost mole-like consistency, feels even more comforting during these chilly winter days. Right now, most sets are under $20, making this a relative bargain in the South Bay. Just know that since the opening was fairly recent, the fryers can be a little slow during peak times, so be patient."
"Every Friday, our editors compile a trusty list of recommendations to answer the most pressing of questions: "Where should I eat?" Here are four places to check out this weekend in Los Angeles. And if you need some ideas on where to drink, here's our list of the hottest places to get cocktails in town. Kimukatsu, one of Japan's most popular tonkatsu spots, quietly reopened in Southern California after first arriving in Sawtelle Japantown back in 2013."
Four recommended Los Angeles eateries include Kimukatsu in Torrance and Clark Street Bakery with multiple locations. Kimukatsu reopened in Torrance's Tokyo Central Market on PCH, offering a compact menu of pork and chicken katsu sets highlighted by a 25-year "millefeuille" pork katsu with a sweet pork fragrance, tender interior, and hefty panko crust. The curry has a dense, mole-like consistency. Most sets are under $20, though fryers can be slow during peak times. Clark Street Bakery expanded to four locations and a Hollywood diner while retaining consistent quality; the Larchmont site is a pint-sized pastry case and espresso bar.
