Best fried chicken, hands down. (5 stars)Nuff said… but do not get the spicy miso ramen (minus 4 star). I don’t have a problem with spicy foods, and I’m an avid user of chili oils, tobasco, salsas, etc. but the level of spice added to the ramen, makes it practically inedible. I really wanted it to taste good, and was constantly looking for the silver lining, while forcing myself to endure the burning and choking of the chilies that made contact to my esophagus. I didn’t order this to win a t-shirt or get a photo posted on the wall. I think if the heat was turned down by half it would be perfect. But I think this option for should have come with a warning.

The chicken karaage at Tenkatori is absolutely delicious. Well cooked. So much oil that so much juices coming out! Unfortunately the ramen the wings & the bento are not my favorite dishes to order. Instant but not homemade. Everyone likes the dishes. I feel satisfied in my entire life. The prices has gone up higher since I visited. Cash & cards are accepted at the cashier.

This place was good. My son wanted ramen, which was tasty. However, I wish we would have gotten the karaage chicken. It looked really good and it seemed to be the popular choice.Food: My son wanted the miso ramen. He seemed to like it, minus the bean sprouts.Service: the cashier was exceptionally nice and knowledgeable about the menu and popularity of the items. We only asked about the ramen.Atmosphere: it was ok, this location is inside of a store, so it is hard to be judgmental about it as the dinning area is communal with all the other food options.Overall, I would come back and want to try their karaage chicken.

Cafeteria type of restaurant, udon cooked in batches and you choose the sides as you walk along to the cashier. This reminds me of my teenage years in high school. Choices are limited, but it does seem to be cooked quite freshly. No bad of a choice from the overly crowded food court.

This place is inside the Tokyo central in gardena. The best item besides chicken karage and wings are the cartilage. It's so so good. Crispy and tasty to perfection.

Probally some if not the best karage you can get in the south bay. Will definitely be coming back for a larger order next time.

Despite being crowded all the time, everyday, the chicken and ramen from this place is completely worth

I came in with high expectations for the chicken based on what I've heard from reviews, and I was still surprised by how good the karaage was. I got the smallest size to try, and each piece of chicken is massive (I think I even got an extra piece). It's made fresh when you order and extremely hot and crispy. It's not overly greasy at all, but very juicy and flavorful, even if you don't get any sauces. I ordered the 5 piece thigh and the total came out to be a little over $8.*full portion not pictured, I ate 2 pieces before taking a picture

My girlfriend and I love this little spot , which is located inside Tokyo central, fried chicken (karaage) is so delicious even after being warm up the chicken doesn't get though to biteParking: All I can tell is that there is a huge lot , but is incredible how busy it gets on weekends because it is located inside of Tokyo central

When you get sent to @tokyo.central for errands. I really wanted to like @tenkatoriusa1962 but their Spicy Miso Ramen was uneatable. It's just pure spice, no flavor.I asked for some normal miso broth to cut the spice but they wanted to charge me, so I was left adding hot water which didn't help.The karate chicken was delicious.The service seems overwhelmed and the cashier wasn't particularly helpful.

Just takes a bit to get the food, but that's because it's made to order. In all honesty, it's completely worth the wait. Just not a place you'd come to for a really quick bite. My go-to order is the 5-pc sweet and sour karaage with a side of rice. The chicken is very well sized and is enough to keep me full for a large portion of the day. It's also just plain delicious. The batter is always crispy and the chicken is super juicy and tender. And because it's made to order, it's always extremely fresh.This place is my go-to when I'm craving fried chicken. Could be yours, too. I'd give it a try!
