We have family friends who live one house away from what was Mishima’s. I have fond memories of going there as a child. It was like entering Disneyland with all of the tiki decor. It made me feel like I traveled to a land far away from Torrance! It is fun to see the menus, sign and building exterior online. Wish there were photos of the interior. My uncle used to go to Yue’s Cantonese every day for lunch (as evidenced by the credit card receipts we discovered after he passed away) I had never been there to eat but remember seeing it and hearing that Helen Yue owned both restaurants.
