Torrance Beach
Japanese style fried chicken. Karaage was crunchy outside and moist inside. Finely chopped cabbage salad with miso dressing was a refreshing compliment to the fried chicken. This place is a family owned and just opened a month ago near my house. A great addition in my neighborhood.

Riviera Village

Visitors to Riviera Village like its beaches and restaurants, and Redondo Beach State Park is a sight worth a stop.
