    Chicken teriyaki plate w salad
    David C.

    Perfect plate of chicken teriyaki. Great mom and pop shop. Really clean and comfortable ambiance. Kind and friendly service.

    The spicy chicken teriyaki
    Steve I.

    To the owner of the Spot, please do yourself a favor and put the chicken and onions over the rice and put some steamed veggies or something to go along with your chicken and rice. I got the spicy chicken and rice. The flavor was very good but I had to mix the rice with the chicken and I wish I had some steamed veggies or something instead of this cold salad that doesn't go with this kind of food

    The salad that came with my chicken teriyaki combo. There's barely any lettuce. Talk about stingy.

    I come here all the time, and generally go through the drive thru on the way home from work. I got home opened the bag and this is the salad that came w my teriyaki combo meal. So disappointed, especially when I tipped them generously. Like what the heck is this? Are we being cheap w iceberg lettuce now. This just looks sad. I also noticed they don't give you as much rice and chicken as they normally do. And the drive thru window guy is kind of rude.

    The chicken teriyaki was good! The rice was a bit hard at some spots, could have been due to it being a to-go order. If you're in the area I would recommend if you're craving teriyaki.

    Price = ~$15 / service= average / cleanliness = average / vibe = "hole in the wall", historic mom and pop style / parking = enough, not too much, not too little I ordered the chicken teriyaki entree (I cannot do spice so scurrred to try) that costs around $15 which is a good deal in LA, especially, for the portion you get. This is an unassuming, hole in the wall, that gives some nostalgia to the mall Sarku Japan days in high and middle school in NJ. This place is one of those finds that I like where you get inexpensive and good food for a great experience. I Love Teriyaki looks like it has been there since the olden days of LA metro. The vibe you get is one of those classic spots and the food delivers more than as well. The flavor of the teriyaki sauce is a perfect blend of savory and umami and reminds me of a far better Sarku Japan / chicken teriyaki dish. If you are looking for a homemade taste but quality chicken teriyaki with sauce...look no further. In addition, the sauce in the salad just further blends together with the chicken teriyaki and teriyaki sauce in the rice! Be prepared to be extremely full if you plan to finish this dish in one sitting. BONUS POINTS in taking a stroll after this delicious meal! In walking around town, it gives off a kind of old Western vibe (coming from someone who lived and explored Dallas-Fort Worth metro (DFW) a good amount), almost cowboy-like but you are in California so that does not make sense...this part of El Segundo must have kept its history and gives you such a different feeling than the newer, bougie, fun, and other areas in LA metro. Definitely check out this part of Main St. if you are looking for something different in LA metro.

    i love teriyaki is great for a quick and easy meal. they have a drive through that is really convenient. it is reasonably priced and they give good portions. i've had their chicken gyoza combo plate a few times. i will say the chicken and salad could be higher quality and the rice was a little dry. but for the price and what i expect, it is pretty good.

    This is my new favorite sushi spot! My previous favorite (Sankai Costa Meas) closed a few months…read moreago after being my favorite for almost 30 years. So this is the culmination of a serious search for me. Located on Main Street in El Segundo it can be looked at two ways; it's a hidden out of the way gem or it's just 5 minutes from LAX. Ill let you decide which one applies to your perspective LOL We've been a few times now so I can tell you that it is consistently great! From the quality of the sushi (yes I only have the sushi LOL) to the friendly service and quick food prep. Everything on the menu looks good but all I'm here for is sushi, I've had a variety of the the sashime, nigiri & rolls and everything has been 5Stars!! My favorite would be hard to name but the Dragon & Crunchy Tiger rolls are def cant miss and the albacore is wonderful! There is plenty of seating with spots for large groups and private booths. No private lot but there is plenty of street parking and it is a nice, safe area to walk around. My birthday is coming up and I plan on coming here for sure :)

We brought a family friend from Mexico ( expat) here at our last visit May 22. He was very impressed with the massive amount of food presented and how tasty everything was. Steve made a mental note to tell his niece who lives in Manhattan Beach all about this place. We try to reserve the back booth for privacy. Other than booths there is a large communal dinning table available for guests. Reservations a must as it's not a large restaurant. Quality & quantity of food is outstanding and we always had prompt and efficient service. Beer & sake offered. Did you know Asahi Beer is made in the USA now? We learned that from the bartender so Kagura opted to serve Orion, an Okinawan beer instead. You can't go wrong for a special Japanese dinner. We always order their special dozen sets!

    Working late sometimes requires a decent place that still opens and operate for folks who often…read morework late shifts or just staying later to beat the traffic going home. Sounds dreadful, but sometimes, that opens opportunity for exploring around the local eats. One of them is this local ramen shop, Blossom Ramen, that happens to be tucked inside the nice small El Segundo villages/shops in this quiet neighborhood. At night time, there are plenty of parking. This Ramen Shop closes pretty late (~11pm) while other local shops are already closed. Thus, parking is pretty open. I can't say the same during the morning or dayshift. At night time, you can see through the open window layout of the Ramen Shop and actually see if it is packed or not. Roughly 6 tables seating up to 2, as well as 7/8 tables seating up to 4. The register and reception area is right up front immediately when you walk through the glass door. The Menu is displayed up on the LCD screen as well as the laminated doubled-side sheets. Plenty of various types of Ramen to choose from. Order is taken and paid up front. Once ordered, along with your drinks, the waiter will bring the order to you directly so you can enjoy it. The interior decor of the Ramen Shop speaks volume to the "Blossom" that is in the name. The designer must really and truly like Cherry Blossom to decorate the interior as such. Wallpaper in cute anime/cartoonish form is seen throughout. I ordered the "Red Ramen" and when it came out, it was probably the most delicious and flavorful Ramen I've had. It wasn't a Tonkatsu nor Miso based soup, but more of a curry flavor based. The noodles was very delicate and very aldente! I had also ordered a pint of Sapporo to go with it and it tasted so amazing when parred together. I'm recommending this shop for late night eats or just whenever you feel like it or feel like eating Ramen. I'll have to try the other soup base the next time I'm around here.

    My wife was really looking forward to trying this place. We go to Eat Fantastic for their breakfast…read moreburritos and it had been a while since we had been. To our surprise, we found this "new" place, The Second Wind. The menu looked enticing and the lunch specials really looked like a great deal. So we decided we needed to come back for lunch and soon. A week later, we returned. Parking is very easy in the free lot for the complex. The interior design is energenic, vivrant with amazing looking Asian inspired pop art. Very cool interior. You can be seated and served or order to go. They have a combination lunch special, two items for $15.99. But, many of those items have an up charge if you add a protien. Either way, in these times, $16 for two items is reasonable. Our server greeted us quickly and let us choose the table of our liking. There are a handful of booths and open tables. My wife ordered the Beef Bulgogi and the Eggplant. I ordered the Chicken Dumplings and the Garlic Noodle (adding chicken for $2 more). The portions are generous. Light eaters might be able to just order one two dish combo and share. The Beef Bulgogi was good but the veggies looked a bit dehydrated. The Eggplant was just okay. The Chicken Dumplings were very tasty but served cool. I ordered them steamed and expected them to be warm at least. The Garlic Noodles with chicken was the biggest disappointment. To me, and my wife, over cooked with crunchy pieces. The chicken was also over cooked, dry and tough. When our server asked how things were, I mentioned it. He didn't seem surprised. I asked if the noodles were always dry and he said yes. He offered to bring more sauce, which he did. I added it but it didn't make the chicken any better. In the end, I left 90% of it. They only have cans of sodas so no refills but they are attached to a tea house that serves a great selection of teas, bobo, etc. There was some good things but more not, overall, we were disappointed. Honestly, I was a bit surprised they didn't offer to replace my dish or offer a small discount. They could see the pile of food I left. Anyway... Hopefully your experience and food preparation will be better than ours and...enjoy!!!
