“This is an old Japanese soba restaurant. I had a good time visiting. Both for entertaining and personally. The staff at the store are Japanese, but of course their English is no problem. I used it yesterday for the first time in a while, and 80% of the customers were non-Japanese. Soba is becoming more and more recognized. I love the soba noodles, but I also love the ginger-yaki set meal. I love the spaghetti salad that comes with it. It's not on the menu, but it comes out when you order.“
“Parking is really easy even on weekends. The restaurant is spacious and the staff is friendly. The menu has lots of different food options. This place is great to hang out with friends and family to catch up or meet up. Our party had a baby, they have high chairs and staff were very accommodating, we did not feel like a nuisance while dining here. When the baby was rowdy and there was a lobby area just a short walk away to calm the baby down with various Japanese decor.“
“I love this restaurant and have been a fan since it offered free bento boxes with a stay at the New Gardena Hotel which is adjacent. The food is flavorful: the bacon fried rice DOES NOT MISS! Neither does the Beef Spareribs, nor grilled sliced pork with ginger. Love the Macaroni/Potato Salad. Flavorful food. Quaint hidden gem in Gardena.“
“I come to LA from the east coast once or twice per year and I make my travel schedule around eating at Moto once per visit. The tan tan men ramen is absolutely the best ramen I have ever had. The broth is pure perfection... The side dishes are solid as well and the sushi is simple, but out of this world fresh and tasty. Sam is a great host. See you on my next trip Moto!!!“
“This is a fairly new location for this restaurant. They have another established location in Santa Monica. This location is in Marina Del Rey right off Washington and Lincoln. Their food and service is excellent. This place is a hidden jewel.“
“Can't believe this has been around the corner for years and we didn't know. Neighborhood spot, quirky but unpretentious, friendly waiter Daniel and the food was great. Fish was all quality, the karaage was flavorful, and the shrimp tempura in the bento set came out of left field as some of the best I've had between sawtelle and gardena/torrance. Have not been when it's slammed, but this will easily replace our go to's in Manhattan Beach.“
“TL;DR Solid (hand and cut) rolls, sashimi and overall experience, no complaints Story: Been here for the second time after about ~6 months. Both times with family, both times seated pretty promptly. Ambiance: Parking hasn't been a problem both times, but the lot only takes ~10 or less cars. Service was adequate as more folks filtered in (cater your expectations to a restaurant with a few waiters) Generally clean (restroom was fine), and I didn't feel uncomfortable with any of the decor/music/lack of anything Food: Definitely solid roll choices, they have other things like teriyaki but can only comment on the fish/rolls Soy paper and rice less options are appreciated I'm all for handrolls and these hand rolls are definitely hefty (Lobster hand roll/Vicky hand rolls were very solid) Rolls were good and fish was relatively fresh (no complaints) Value: Decent value considering the quality of the fish and that it's a sushi roll place, would definitely give this place a chance if you're in the mood for a solid roll (but shout out to those large hand rolls).“
“Aah so Delicious! Fresh yummy Sushi. I am very glad I gave it a try, we tried a bunch of items and it did not disappoint. Also they have their own smoked soy sauce that’s a hit. The food did take some times to come out. Cant wait to come back.“
“Service was very attentive. Different wait staff will take away plates and refill beverages. they come around often to see if anything is needed. Food is prepared very well and all are shareable sizes. Nice Ambiance and relaxed atmosphere. Overall a good experience and a solid place to dine.“
“Came for a quick meal before a movie. Very cozy and the service is nice but wasn’t particularly impressed by the food, especially given how many great Japanese options there are in the area.Calpico Beer - was great and my SO ordered a secondTakowasa - disappointing unfortunately, the octopus wasn’t the freshest.Skewer plate - was just ok, some of the skewers were overcooked and most didn’t have enough seasoningSoft shell crab in chili sauce - pretty good! Not spicy and actually more sweetNatto and sashimi - natto is not for everyone but I like it, and this is a pretty good dish“
“I have visited this restaurant many times before, and the food is so delicious that I crave it regularly. I would say it is the best Japanese izakaya-style restaurant I have ever been to. The staff are also very energetic and create a lively atmosphere. My favorite dishes are the sashimi, teppanyaki, and battera. The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. The service is also excellent, and the staff are always happy to help you choose the perfect dishes and drinks. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Japanese izakaya experience.“
“I've been here 3 times now, and Wow, just wow.The food is delicious, the prices aren't ridiculous, service has always been very friendly, and the little venue is a vibe. So look around when you're sitting down and enjoy the ambiance.What more is there to ask?I literally started a Google maps list of "THE(my favorite) Restaurants" that I recommend to people just because I liked everything this place had to offer so much.For those who like eel rolls... The Dungeons and Dragons roll.... ✨Chef's kiss✨I've always gone and just shared among the table family style so the bill is probably a little higher for my groups, but like I said I was impressed.They've also got some good hot sake.“
“Went here as a second option as my original spot didn't take reservations over 4 people.The food is fine here, but I was disappointed with the portion sizes of the sushi and other items. Perhaps it's because we got the omakase, but maybe it's because everyone is trying to save on costs, but keep the prices the same or higher.“
“Got into town late and was looking for something open past 9pm on a weekday and found this place closeby. Was a chilly night so hot ramen and beers to end the night was a win win for me.Parking was tight but we were seated right away, ordering the ramen set, fried rice and some beers. Service was quick, food was hot and delicious and we all left full and satisfied. 5 stars??“
“"I consistently have a fantastic experience at Gushiya. The staff goes above and beyond to take care of me and my family every visit. Not only is the service exceptional, but the food is consistently amazing. It's clear that they prioritize customer satisfaction, making each dining experience memorable. I highly recommend [Sushi Place] for their outstanding service and delicious sushi."“

“It was really delicious ? I wasn't expecting much from the shrimp, but the firmness of the shrimp and the flavor of the kelp exceeded my expectations! ! Everything was wonderful. The tongue was so soft and delicious. Even the salad dressing was delicious. The price shouldn't be compared to Japan, but it's worth it!March 2024For the first time in 3 years? I still had delicious yakitori. If you go with 5 people, is it already 18%? Please be careful as the chip was charged ?“
“One of if not my favorite ramen place in the South Bay area. I don't understand why there's not a waiting list. Today we walked in and the whole place was empty on a Saturday at 12:30 pm. Definitely needs a Keith Lee visit. Their black shisen ramen is one of my favorite bowls of ramen in los angeles. Only a few spots like tsujita (and annex) are higher on the list for me.“
“I'm reluctant to write this review because I don't want anyone else to know about how cool Muso Style is. If you're Japanese, you'll love this place because it tries to replicate the smaller bars in Japan with it's food selection, cocktails, service, and ambience. It's great for small groups of up to 4 or dates, where you want as few people around you as possible, but also right next to you. I don't think they can fit more than 20 people in there and if they did, it would be too crowded. So keep this a secret!“
