Hisaya Kyoto Chestnuts
Welcome to Hisaya Kyoto Chestnuts, a delightful gem located at 1757 W Carson St, Torrance, CA. As a food reviewer with a passion for unique desserts, I was thrilled to discover this charming haven specializing in chestnut creations that resonate deeply with flavor and tradition.

The ambiance captures a traditional aesthetic, accentuated by a wall adorned with sticky notes, inviting patrons to share their wishes. This cultural element adds a heartwarming touch to your visit. Here, every item is crafted with care, ensuring that the final product not only looks beautiful but also tastes incredible.
One of the highlights that stood out to me was the Chestnut Cake. Encased in a fragrant, flaky crust, it features a luscious chestnut filling that is served hot. Each bite melts in your mouth, delivering warmth and comfort. Many reviews, including those from satisfied guests, have praised this cake as a quintessential representation of Hisaya’s dedication to quality and flavor balance.
If you’re in the mood for something cold, the chestnut ice cream is an absolute must-try. Scott L., a fellow dessert aficionado, claims it to be the best chestnut ice cream in LA County, seamlessly blending the rich flavors of vanilla and chestnut. This creamy treat is the perfect companion for a warm day or an indulgent dessert after a meal.
For those who crave something a bit different, the chestnut tiramisu and various donuts, including the chestnut sesame and matcha versions, are simply exceptional. Each donut is remarkably balanced—not too sweet but flavorful enough to satisfy any sweet tooth. I even enjoyed a chestnut smoothie with added boba, a unique twist for those seeking a refreshing drink.
With a commitment to freshness, all desserts are made to order, which might require a bit of patience, but trust me—it’s worth the wait. The scrumptious cookies, particularly the black sesame and matcha, add another layer to the variety available, showcasing not only the versatility of chestnuts but also the richness of Japanese dessert culture.
In summary, Hisaya Kyoto Chestnuts is more than just a dessert shop; it’s an experience that embraces the depth of flavor while honoring traditional Japanese techniques.

“ This place is heaven for someone who likes dessert with depth of flavor, not overkilling sweet, and satisfying. I stumbled upon this place while looking for ice cream and it was the best decision. We got bunch of different items with chestnut and other flavors more as a sample and we loved everything. Chestnut cake seemed little dry but it was still very delicious. I personally liked the red bean version better. Their cake donuts are the best. That's got to be my favorite from all the items we tried. We got all flavors and everything was great. Their cookies are a delicacy. My favorite was black sesame but matcha and Chestnut are equally great. It was a wonderful little Japanese dessert place. Theres so much culture to this place. It's a must try. I can't wait to go back and try more stuff including their icecream. ”

They offer a variety of chestnut desserts, as well as Kyoto and Tianjing chestnuts in different package sizes. The Chestnut Cake is a standout—it has a fragrant, flaky pie crust, and the chestnut filling inside is freshly made and served hot, creating a rich and comforting bite. The chestnut ice cream is another highlight, blending vanilla and chestnut flavors into a smooth, creamy treat. I’d even say it's the best chestnut ice cream in LA County! The store itself is beautifully decorated in traditional Japanese style, featuring a wall of sticky notes where visitors can write their wishes. Since desserts are made fresh to order, there might be a bit of a wait, but trust me—it’s absolutely worth it! ”
“ Highly recommend this place. I had a chestnut smoothie with added boba and were able to substitute milk for almond milk cause of my lactose, which was excellently delicious and convenient! Also had their chestnut sesame and matcha donuts, and they were well balanced in flavor. Not too sweet or over powered by too much flavor, was such a balanced taste for me. I would recommend or request if customers who order donuts get either warm or cold options. I had my donuts warm after heating them up at home and they were perfect!! ”
“ Roasted chestnuts in LA? Hell yeah. Very resonance price. Great for stopping by for after meal dessert. ... ”
“ Wonderful little place. It wasn't busy when I came in. Lady at the front desk was nice and I got a chestnut tiramisu and yuzu-chestnut donut. Neither were too sweet, and they were both delicious. Really recommend coming by if you like chestnuts! ”
“ Love this cute hole in the wall place! They’re famous for their freshly roasted chestnuts (obviously), and their many chestnut-flavored desserts. We got too excited and ordered pretty much one of each category. Chestnut milk tea with chestnut boba (not enough chestnut flavor in either, however). Chestnut cake (recommend!). Chestnut ice cream (yum, not too sweet!). And of course, a bag of small and large chestnuts. I prefer the smaller chestnuts, as they don’t get dried out as fast. I’m usually not a huge fan of chestnuts, but I’m definitely glad I tris place! ”
“ Get the black sesame milk! It's freshly ground and roasted and not too sweet. Their chestnut ice cream is good too. ”
“ Always have to stop by and buy some for my dad. He loves the roasted chestnuts here. ”
