Restaurant Amachi

The food was delicious. The people were nice. Our family had a great time there for my granddaughter’s birthday. We definitely will go again.

Been a customer for over 50 years!!!! They are consistent with delicious Japanese food. Kyoko does her best to run this cute little place. She had hung on during the pandemic and now continues serving so many families and generations now. It’s our go to for holidays, birthdays and any excuse we have to enjoy some yummy food at a great price!!! If you haven’t been you need to try it and if you’ve been a customer you need to continue to support them!!!

The outside looks plain but once you get inside it's a Very wonderful old school family restaurant atmosphere. Loved the place and the tempura was delicious. Staff is very friendly and the menu options well organized. Hardest part is picking only one! I'll be back!

Nice little family owned place. Food is great and the servers are always so friendly

Delicious lunch at a fantastic price. Quality is tops. It's an old school, family owned Japanese restaurant. Best lunch in Whittier. Unfortunately, the workweek lunch is only Tuesday - Thursday.

I love Amachi, I'm not ashamed to say it. There are few restaurants I can say that about. So let me tell you why. 1. It's a small, quaint, family style restaurant, much like like those I encountered as a teacher in Japan. 2. It is highly recognized within the Whittier community. 3. The prices have always been respectable. A top quality meal for around the same price as many fast food burger meals. 4. The food is consistently flavorful and traditional American Japanese food. 5. The hosts have always been friendly. 6. Though the menu doesn't change much, and is more limited than you might find at other commercially owned Japanese restaurants, the selection is really good. 7. I ate here several times a month with my buddy for years. 8. I've eaten Japanese food from restaurants all across Japan, and here in LA. County, and though it can be a bit busy, its small and hidden away off the street, and they have strange hours, it's still my favorite. It's one of those places I hesitate reviewing, because the selfish side of me would rather have fewer people know about it. PARKING: Amachi is located off Green Street in a little side pavilion beside Mimo's Cafe. You can not see it from the street. Parking is in the rear across from Amachi where a little alley passes. You access the city parking from Comstock Avenue. UNUSUAL HOURS: They are closed on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday they are open for lunch, then close and reopen a few hours later for dinner. Friday to Sunday they are only open for dinner.

Amachi Restaurant oh how I truly enjoy visiting you. I crave your delicious entrees that consist of freshly battered Veggie/Shrimp tempura to the freshly sliced Tuna sashimi. Along with every combo comes an endless rice bowl (you'll be surprise just how much rice you can consume). I usually start my dinner off with an order of the pork dumpling along with a order of sashimi. For my main course my main go to is the short ribs and tempura combo. From the rice to the salad all the way down to the complementary miso soup, you can taste the traditional Japanese flavors. Thank God there is a place that exist like this literally a block away from home. Lastly my daughter loves it so much all she ever wants to eat!
