Restaurant Amachi

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 review

Got the Teri Chicken Shortrib combo plate. The food is excellent but portions are on the small side. I could easily eat 3 plates.
