50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Gardena

“The torpedos are incredible“

“I like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“I love the quality and quantity of food you get. Their Portuguese Sausage is amazing and their fried rice is always delicious“

“feedback regarding my recent visit to your Gardena location on Father's Day. I traveled all the way from Orange County specifically to try your mango sticky rice.

While I found the mango sticky rice to be good, I felt the price was a bit higher than other places I have visited, and I likely wouldn't make the long drive solely for that dish again. On a positive note, I really enjoyed the coconut jellies; the flavor was great and the size was satisfying, though I believe the pricing for those could also be improved.

Thank you for the meal and for taking the time to read my feedback.“

“Food is delicious. Pho is really tasty I always get the Filet Mignon with crispy eggrolls. Service is amazing-always making sure you have enough water, food, and extra noodles if you run out!👌 Definitely a great spot to bring friends or family :D“

“An adorable, cozy sushi restaurant with INCREDIBLE fresh fish. We got the special and regular omakase, and the special is absolutely worth the extra $20 because it comes with an amazing toro collar and tiramisu, along with more sushi, soup, and a carpaccio. Some memorable bites were the monkfish liver, fresh oyster, toro collar, daikon marinated red snapper, golden eye snapper nigiri, and the AMAZING housemade tiramisu.“

“Simply delicious food. Look forward to visiting again soon! Baklava - to die for!!!“

“This was literally one of the best salads I’ve ever had. You’re going to become a regular in our rotation.“

“es muy bueno y muy limpio todo fresco y me costa porque yo trabajo a hi y me fascina ser del personal the pan“

“Ramen is so good I cried.“

“Kotohira Japanese Restaurant in Gardena is well-known for its incredible udon and hearty combination sets that pair a steaming bowl of noodles with a delicious donburi (rice bowl). It is located in a vibrant plaza alongside popular dessert spots like Honeymee, It's Boba Time, and Northern Cafe. Because the parking lot is massive and spacious, it draws a steady crowd but remains incredibly convenient to visit. 🚗🍜

This was my second visit here, and I went with the Mini Katsudon Set. The menu describes it perfectly: crispy pork cutlet, eggs, and onions simmered in a semi-sweet sauce over rice, paired with a bowl of hot tanuki udon. The udon noodles are perfectly chewy and the broth is exceptionally clean and flavorful. The overall food quality is top-notch, and the portions are incredibly generous and filling.

The rest of the table loved their meals as well. My wife ordered the Nabeyaki Udon with an Ume Onigiri, and their nabeyaki udon is absolutely delicious—packed with flavor and served piping hot. My brother-in-law tried the Unagi Don Set, which was also fantastic. For an appetizer, we shared the Garlic Shrimp, which featured large, juicy shrimp tossed in a rich, deeply aromatic garlic sauce. It was an excellent way to start the meal! 🍤✨

The ambiance inside feels just like a cozy, authentic local restaurant in Japan. It is the perfect spot for a casual lunch or dinner with a small group of 3 to 4 people. While the layout might make it difficult to host massive parties, they have about ten comfortable 4-person booths available. If you are looking for authentic, comforting Japanese cuisine in the South Bay, this place is highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Best sandwiches. Everything is delicious. Made to your liking. Custom made“

“蕎麦、日本食　最高 !“

“I love this pho spot! The ambience is great. The customer service is speedy and you are immediately given a warm welcome as you step in. The food is also really good (although I’ve only ever ordered number 4, the steak and brisket pho 👌🏽). I did try a bit of the shrimp pho when my mom ordered it, and it was good, but I’m more into beef than seafood, so that’s just personal preference. Definitely check it out. This was where I tried pho for the first time and it hits the spot every time.“

“Muy ricos 🤑 desayunar en ese lugar 💯👍🏼“

“This place is small and tuck away in a shopping corner, but the services was the best, seen like a great mom and pop place. Forgot what I order but it was all delicious, when with a group of 4 and we family style the meal, best way to try all the amazing dishes.“

“Great folks, diverse clientele and awesome food!!“

“I love their Porridge with pork and century egg/duck“

“Yoooo! If aint had their Cali rolls youre missing out on life. These are THE BEST cali rolls I've had. Sakae Sushi Cali rolls big and the flavor is thru the roof. You dont need to add anything lol maybe a little wasabi but thats it. Its very old school sushi please GO!!!“

“As others have said, don’t let this inconspicuous shop fool you. These mochi have incredible flavor and texture, and while they are a few dollars a piece, I think hand crafted sweets deserve a little support, no?

The person that helped me was friendly and explained the various flavors so I could fill a 10pc box with a variety. My favorites were the pink mochi and imo manju. Bring cash!“

“Nice portion and delicious! The portion is very big, sharing is better but if you are dining alone, you might need to pack some back. The tempura is nicely fried and teriyaki beef is nicely cooked too. The food comes really slow and the Japanese waitress look really tired even though we understand it must be tired for her to serve such a busy restaurant.

I ordered tongue and gizzard chicken but it’s not that great because the gizzards are too hard and it’s doesn’t taste fresh or nicely cooked or rather overcooked.

Overall, u might need to wait 10-20 minutes but worth it with such a price and portions!“

“First time visiting this restaurant and let me tell you, amazing customer service, rhe guys that help us went above and beyond. Food was delicious 😋. I order 1/4 original chicken with Mason rice and salad. My kids order chicken kabob with Mason rice and salad. I will definitely come back.“

“The squid, sea urchin and seaweed spaghetti pasta was nice—the pasta was best part. The complimentary french bread was very soft; it would have been excellent if warmed. The service was very polite and generous with menu suggestions. The day ambiance was quaint and reminiscent of an earlier time.“

“fresh croissants are so good, I always come back for more! 🤩😋“

“By far the best sushi I’ve ever had! The quality here is unmatched—the sushi is extremely fresh and cannot be beat. I ordered the Rainbow Roll, and it was made to absolute perfection with beautiful presentation and incredible flavor.

Not only was the sushi outstanding, but the Udon noodles were unbeatable—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. This place really delivers on taste, quality, and overall experience.

I will definitely be back in the future. If you’re a sushi lover, Sushi Island is a must-try!“

“Their recipes are undefeated“

“Kimberley made my daughters wedding cake and then drove it up to Ojai! The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing and she was a dream to work with! She is crazy talented, has a great team, a great story. Love her.“

“Update: I used to love and recommend this place but idk whats going on and its sad, the broth which is the main point is always 50/50 now. When its good its really good but when they miss sometimes its flavorless or super sweet as opposed to originally packed with flavor and all around balanced on bone flavor, spice herb packed, and sweet. Please follow old recipe or something. Still the pork spring rolls are a must have with the peanut sauce no matter what!“

“This is a favorite of mine! Service is very friendly and accommodating. The food is plentiful and delicious! I highly recommend!!“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“Very satisfied great friendly service“

“Great salad! Love the option to add your favorite veggies 🥗“

“The food was very good! I will be visiting again“

“Fresh Tofu. Best in LA/So Cal!“

“🙂👍 Great food and delightful people!“

“First time trying shabu shabu and it did not disappoint!!!“

“Definitely the place to be on Sunday fun day! If you miss home in Hawaii, you'll feel like you are home not just because of the ono food but the incredibly courteous and caring staff. I drove up from Orange County and, the moment I walked in, I was greeted with an ALOHA and watched the place get packed. It was a perfect place to meet up with friends! Spam & eggs with rice for breakfast hit the spot. Malasadas are fresh and warm! Then they added live musicians playing Hawaiian music and I didn't want to leave. Highly recommend and plan to return again!“

“I went to have a late lunch / dinner by myself. The food was hot and fresh and very tasty. My server was very friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed my meal and my dining experience. I will definitely make this one of my favorite restaurants to go and visit and eat.“

“Jabar was the most polite and welcoming and humble human I’ve encountered in a very long time. And the food was amazing too!“

“es muy bueno y muy limpio todo fresco y me costa porque yo trabajo a hi y me fascina ser del personal the pan“

“Solid burger stand with lots of options. The staff was really nice and made sure we were OK because we did get stuck behind a bigger order. We didn't mind. They were so cool and the food was so good we barely noticed the wait. Make the trip there. Totally worth it.“

“My family has been going to tiny La Villa's Mexican Restaurant for decades. It has always served the best authentic Mexican cuisine around A hidden jewel...“

“Was nearby and did Google restaurant search and located this shop. It had solid reviews, so I gave it try. Was pleased to say I agree with them all. It was a clean place with good food and service. It was less than an hour before closing on a Sunday night. Surprised he wasn't busy closing up the store. Worker/owner? put no pressure to me finishing up my delicious chicken vegetable Bowel. Will recommend the place to others.“

“The food is good, especially the noodle dishes. The restaurant is clean and the service is friendly.

Unfortunately, I bit into eggshells in the Pad See Ew, which made the experience unpleasant. I hope the cook can be more careful when preparing the dish. Overall, still a good meal.“

“Best Yakitori in the U.S.!!!

Already 5th time back, amazing grill flavor at just right amount, best meatball no-place-else, the taste of skewers are always surprising me. Better than any in Hawaii or NYC(I’ve been to too many yakitori places).

Reasonable price, lower than average, which makes it even better!

Such nice staff, nice and friendly. Bless to the chef. So altogether the best Tori place☺.“

“Came across the on a walk back from Venice Beach. Highly recommend.“

“This is a secret gem in Gardena! The prices are great for the quality and quantity of food. Between the group, we had several types of rolls, Ramen and salmon. It was thumbs up across the board. If you life sushi, you should give them a try!“

“We ordered 2 jalapeno kimbap and 2 beef bulgogi kimbap and they gave us 4 little spicy soups that I thought was miso at first but it's not it's a delicious bean sprout jalapeno soup. So good and spicy 😍 The owners were so nice and asked our daughter if she wanted to take a book home 💚 definitely have to go back for a date night with hubby and try their other items“

“Good food and service . Spaghetti was awesome!!“
