Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori & Chanko Gardena is a beloved and long-standing restaurant in Gardena, known for serving high-quality Yakitori dishes with minimal seasoning to showcase the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The small venue features a lively atmosphere, reminiscent of a busy pub and diner, and is ideal for small parties. Despite the occasional wait, the friendly and attentive staff make the dining experience enjoyable. The Yakitori and special menu items, including negima tare (chicken thigh & green onion w/ sauce) and Mille-bare Maki (pork belly and onion skewer with sweet miso sauce), are highly recommended. The restaurant's authenticity has earned it a loyal following among locals and visitors alike, making it a fun spot for happy hour or team dinners. Delicious yakitori at a very reasonable price with that lively, busy hot spot vibe—it's easy to see why this place is popular. The food itself was great once it arrived, but the service can be slow and experience frustrating at times.
