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 of six or less. Despite the occasional wait, the friendly and attentive staff make the dining experience enjoyable. With over 30 years of consistent service, this restaurant remains a staple in the South Bay, offering reasonable prices and a taste of Japan in California. 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. Although it can get loud and busy, the quick and attentive service enhances the experience. Parking can be limited, but there are street parking options available.
