★★★★☆ 4.0 Jung Lee · Oct 2025

This is a high quality Japanese style pasta restaurant located in the Tokyo Central food court. I just tried their Osaka pasta which is a beef ragu sauce with al dente angel hair pasta. They have a couple of special pastas offered each morning at a limited quantities (10). These are cooked to order so you may have a few minutes to wait if they are busy. I will try other types of pasta next time. Parking is plenty in the strip mall parking lot.

I found this spot on a "hot and new" list and it completely exceeded my expectations. They were out of the wagyu, so we tried the pork ragu and the Neapolitan and both were absolutely delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente and both dishes were incredibly flavorful and executed with precision. Located inside the Tokyo Central food court, it's a fast and easy option when you want something better than a casual spot like Unico, but don't want the full sit-down experience of a place like Spoon House. The prices are very reasonable, too. I'll definitely be back soon to try the rest of the menu!

I had the ehime, seafood pasta which had decent amount of protein shellfish as described . It was very tasty as I was craving red sauce. I've had the wagyu and other dishes. Very consistent and filling. The only thing I'd asked for is a spoon to remove the little clams from their shells plus to twirl the perfectly cooked capellini like pasta. You're given a fork and napkins since I dined there. Ashley was kind enough to bring my dinner tray to me and offered me water which is in a dispenser facing the entrance. Pasta Stories will not disappoint with its variety. Next time, I'll try the salmon or maybe the chicken.

★★★★★ 5.0 Murray Larsen · Aug 2025

It's a pasta place in a grocery, so of course I was blown away when I got pasta better then any chain can produce. Flavor and quality was perfect on top of the interesting twist put on the dishes with Japanese region inspired ingredients. Will be going back to try the other types of pasta (the kyoto is a very good way to work into the other pasta types)

★★★★★ 5.0 Bailey Cannizzaro · Aug 2025

Delicious Japanese-style pasta! Reasonable prices, too! I ordered the Fukuoka (mentaiko and nori pasta), and it didn't disappoint! Great flavor, and the pasta was perfectly al dente. Friendly service, too! This restaurant inside the new PCH Tokyo Central is an excellent addition to Torrance's amazing lineup of Japanese cuisine. I look forward to trying their other pastas as well!
