I love Red Rock but having an express makes it so much more accessible. You don't have to worry about trying to get a seat because it's more casual. There's a lot more takeout friendly dishes here as well such as curries!The cut steak don and the sliced beef don are close to what I remember from the main restaurant. The omurice is actually very tasty as well, and comes with a choice of protein. There's katsudon, curry rice, hamburg steak, and even loco moco. It's delivery and takeout friendly. It's not the cheapest place, but it's really good.They've been temporarily closed and I'm not sure when they're reopening, but I hope they do soon! In the meantime, I believe the original Red Rock location in North Torrance does take takeout orders.

Delicious, delicious food! Highly recommend! Everyone please try!I was stunned by how tasty the food was here. I didn't even order their signature sliced beef don! Will definitely get it on my next visit here.I got their omu-rice with hamburg steak, with tomato fried rice and demiglace sauce. This was excellent. 10/10 will get again. The egg is silky and luscious. Rice is flavorful. Sauce really brings it all together, it's savory and rich. The hamburg steak was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender. I also got an order of five beef and potato croquettes. This was really good, but the flavor was not something I vibed with. I could tell it was high quality. The breading was super crunchy, freshly fried. It wasn't oily or anything. The inside was creamy and the meat was small chunks of beef, which I wasn't expecting. It was surprisingly...Pretty sweet, which is not what I expected and not what I really look for when I get a beef and potato croquette. I'd vastly prefer a savory, hearty or plain flavor profile. I'm aware this is a typical Japanese food thing though. I recommend trying just one and determining if it's for you or not, I believe they're roughly $4 for an individual croquette. Definitely coming back to try their variety set.Interior is very clean, and although this is an express location oriented for to-go orders, there is some seating inside! It's kind of cramped, but if you need to quickly eat and go this would be a great place to do it at.You can order via a tablet at the counter. They made my order immediately after I put it in, and it took roughly 10 mins to get it. I was surprised by how piping how my package was when I received it. It was still hot by the time I got home to eat it (~20 min drive). Even more surprising was the croquettes were still super crispy!! Like they just got pulled out of the fryer.The staff was also very kind. It was my first time here, and I can 30 mins before closing, but a kind lady explained how I could still order and how. The man who handed me my order thanked me and wished me a good night.Will 100% be back soon! I cannot wait to try their sliced beef don next!

I've been wanting to try Red Rock in Gardena but it's always so busy when I drive by. I was pleasantly surprised to run into this place while grabbing chestnuts a few doors down. Red Rock Express is literally an express restaurant. While there are a couple of tables and one long counter top against a wall it's not the type of place you go with friends or family. But it's clean, modern, and a nice spot to have a quick bite.The person working was super friendly. I came right when they opened (5:00 on a Friday) and he greeted me and welcomed me in. He also made a few recommendations since it was my first time. I ordered the omu with pork cutlet and ketchup rice wirh demiglace sauce - which he said was the traditional way. Oh my goodness, it was sooo good. The egg over ketchup rice took me back to my childhood lol and please get that demiglace sauce. It's also great for dipping the amazing croquettes, which are the best croquettes I've ever had. Perfectly crunchy with a yummy soft beef and potato filling. It stayed crunchy even after my 45 min drive home. The yakiniku bbq was also tasty but I only had a bite of that one.I will definitely return and am eager to try the spicy black curry and steak don if you're in the area and need a satisfying bite to eat or a meal to take home definitely try this spot.

Small place in a shopping center where many of the stores are closed but don't let that deter you. There are only a couple of tables to sit at so taking prepare to take your food items to go. Staff was friendly and hardworking. Bento box was delicious and came with different dishes that brought different flavor/texture components. Looking forward to the location opening at the Shops at Santa Anita.

So good, I don't even have any pics because we ate it so fast. My husband got the #1 roast beef don and I got the #2 cut steak don. I liked both but preferred my husbands because of the sauce that comes with it. He also got the cheese to put on top and that was clutch. I also got my steak medium when I think I should've gotten it medium rare. The meat quality was clearly really good and the rice was perfect. We also got a beef croquette which was yummy but a little onion-y. They have some seating inside and outside if you don't want it to go. I'm excited to go back!

Ordered through their website and picked it up. Got the sliced beef don(most popular), black curry with omuretsu and hamburger, and the five set croquettes. My favorite was the hamburger and the croquettes. The hamburger was really flavorful. It was a little chewy but probably because it cooled down when we brought it home. It reminded me of the hamburgers that I got in japan. The croquettes were all really flavorful too. The onions added a really nice sweetness/umami. The curry was a bit disappointing in terms of flavor and spice. The sliced beef were like roast beef and went well with the steak sauce.

A small Japanese restaurant located in the plaza where the old Mitsuwa used to be. Barely any seating inside so this place is mostly for takeout . The meat quality is great and the service is good but I made a mistake of ordering through yelps Grubhub online option. It was unreasonably way more expensive than the actual restaurant . Don't order from Grubhub . 30% markup.

I tried the sliced beef don with the raw egg. Took the order to go so I had to crack the egg myself. I was a little nervous eating the raw egg but it's been 24 hours and I feel fine. It comes with an au jus and white sauce. I dumped and mixed everything in the bowl. It was delicious. They had me wait 15 minutes to get the order ready despite being the only person. However, I didn't mind and I assume my food was made to order ie not premade. Glad they opened up shop in Torrance. Definitely looking forward to going back again.

Service was incredibly quick when I placed my order online. I was told to come here when I accidentally went to the Red Rock restaurant in Gardena. This location has takeout and sit in while the other location is dine in only. I ordered a rice bowl, and omelette rice and both were amazing. I've never had this in Japan, but this taste is for a person who likes the beef sauce that is specific to Japanese cuisine. It's just a bit sweet and a little more saucy than gravy, but not as thick. The ambiance is pretty quiet, and I waited no time for my order. This was on a Sunday during dinner time. I would love to come back again and get the mince beef croquette!

Take-Out Only! This is the second location in the South Bay and has more items on the menu. Ordered the Omu-Rice with Beef & Potato Croquet with Tomato Ketchup Rice and Spicy Curry Sauce. Tasty and Delicious! Good sized portions. I'll be back to try the rest of the menu!
