Delicious appetizers, noodles, and fish. The miso sea bass is to die for! Melt in your mouth delicious and the ginko nuts are light and tasty! Highly recommend the karaage chicken. Enjoyed the buckwheat tea, hot soba and tempera too!

The staff is wonderful and the good here is great. My wife enjoyed her cold soba and we shared the deep-fried shrimp egg rolls. Oddly, the wrap wasn't that crispy but the tail was (which is what I really care about) and the flavor was fantastic. I think it has to do with moisture from the shiso leaf inside. I'm not normally a fan of shiso but this was delicious.
I have to say the bowl was fantastic. Everything was cooked and seasoned well. The portion was big! Great item!
Just a heads up- this place gets warm. My wife and I went on a rather warm day and there's no AC. Thankfully, where we were sitting, a breeze would come in through the backdoor from the kitchen every now and then.

Yummy Izakaya. Patrons speaking Japanese which is always a good sign. Parking in the back which can be a tad tight. Street parking in the front. We had chicken wings (yum) , karage (yum), ginger pork (looked good but i did not personally try), soba (yum). We were lucky to get a table without a wait. The telephone was ringing a lot. The servers were super sweet and the whole team was nice. Looking forward to returning.

What a great find! I want to try everything here. My first trying roasted ginko nuts, and it was interestingly good. Seiro Soba with ume and vegetables was delicious. Friendly staff. Lunch was great and I look forward to visiting for dinner.

Parking problematic w/rear entry via alley. Reservations emphatically necessary. Without reservations we got seated for 1 hour max. Seating somewhat cramped.

The food quality here is amazing and always consistent. Very friendly staff too. I always get the buckwheat soba. Grilled chicken thigh was delicious. The tofu appetizer with ginger is also refreshing and yummy. Free parking at the back.

The best Japanese restaurant in Gardena. You'll expect a lot of wait though.
Incredible service and delicious japanese eats. I can't recommend the soba (cold or hot) enough.

This is more of a cooked food restaurant than a sushi house. They have some sashimi dishes, but their specialty is cooked Japanese appetizers and meals.

The rice, sashimi and dessert ice cream pudding are all very delicious, the three flavors of sake are also great, and the cold noodles are okay.

It’s a nice and cozy place to have lunch. Although the menu is limited compared to the dinner menu, there are still a variety of items to satisfy your craving. The tuna bowl was done really well; it was a perfect mixture of Akami and Chutoro. Tempura and fresh homemade soba noodles were great.
Parking: Limited space for parking in the back of the restaurant.
