    Still love the vibe, it is very cute. The drinks are on the sweeter side. The workers are super nice and polite. There was basically no wait, which was a huge plus.

    Cute lil spot. Cute interior decor. Bubble tea was good. Nothing special but it's also been a minute since I've had one. Honeydew is a classic and can't ever go wrong. Service was avg.

    This was an interesting concept for the interior of a boba place. There is a lot happening within a short amount of time of just stepping into this place. I was confused to begin with. Service was great for it being a one woman show. She was getting through making the drinks as fast as she could. She was very responsive and patient. Drinks: I ordered the mango milk ice with boba and a strawberry milk ice with egg pudding. Both drinks were SUPER SWEET. Almost unbearably sweet. I'll come back here again, but look into their boba milk teas instead. Food: I bought the fresh strawberry sando.

    All the employees are nice:) Cute theme inside. Just the drink I got (banana strawberry smoothie) wasn't that good

    Great smoothies & customer care. Took care of us great. 10/10 recommend. Been coming for years now. 3/24/26

    Large Almond Milk Tea, (made with black tea and 25% sweetener), $5.75 prior to tax

    Oko Cafe is located in the same plaza as Tokyo Central & Main, specifically next door to 88 Pocha. This tea house is dog friendly (inside and out are leashed dogs allowed). My husband, our little girl dog and I came here on a Sunday afternoon, around 3:45 pm. After looking over the menu, I ended up purchasing: Large Almond Milk Tea, (made with black tea and 25% sweetener), $5.75 prior to tax- I thought my drink was still on the sweet side, even with 25% sweetener. I would probably consider ordering at 0% sweetener then. But I did like the drink though. My husband also ended up purchasing a large drink, that I do not recall what he got, but it was $5.75 prior to tax. ------------------------------ (Total= $12.68 after tax) Service was friendly. The employee who took our order at the register (whom I suspect is the owner) actually took a dog biscuit from the dog treat jar from the counter and offered it to our little girl. The cafe itself inside is decorated like a comic book, 2D and makes for some great photos. Overall, we had a positive experience and would consider coming back the next time I am shopping at Tokyo Central.

    Cute interior. Love the fake 2D look and they really got the feel of the trains in Japan down. Layout is kind of weird and there's a lot of noise in the surroundings. They also seem to be in collaboration with various pop up shops in their space so it's kind of confusing especially having another tea shop in your tea shop but you make their teas for them also? We've popped in from time to time over the last 10 years. It's typically one of the last places open. Staff is always nice and helpful so no complaints there. I've always felt the drinks aren't great but decent and just over sugared. This last time I did a peach lychee oolong tea which is my staple at some other tea places but here it came out really bad... maybe the tea flavor was not my usual oolong or I needed a lot more sugar to bridge the gap (I did 50%). Tried to finish it but had to give up. Next time I'll just go for something safer like a peach green tea.

    We like this cute spot! They have cute 2-D decor and they play good music! I enjoyed writing a note on their well wishes tree! Also, their piano works but there's a note that roughly says if you don't know how to play the piano then don't! Haha! Luckily while we were waiting for our drinks a guy knew how to play and he was pretty good! We ordered Strawberry Matcha Latte and Iced Kumquat Oolong Tea.

    Oko Cafe is a sweet little cafe. To be honest, I remember coming here before, but not the drinks I got! I have pictures, so I do know. However, I will undoubtedly remember my most recent visit! We ate dinner in this plaza and I was in the mood for a drink afterwards. We wandered inside Oko and I noticed the Sakura Cherry Blossom & Moshi Moshi stuff. TIP: To order from the Momoko x Moshi Moshi menu, you must use the kiosk. You cannot order at the counter. When you step inside, you'll see that the furniture and decorations are all black & white. Like the artist drew all the lines with a black Sharpie! There's a train complete with seats & handholds for standing passengers. Too cute! Previously, there was a family of ducks that once graced that wall. There's also a guitar, telephone, computer, and a portrait of Albert Einstein! I love the functional piano named Hammond! They even provided a music book! It's neat that they change up the interior from time to time. This black & white drawn theme continues to the counter & the restroom! Parking is free at the Pacific Square Shopping Center. The two items I wanted required me to use the kiosk. I got the Sakura Cherry Black Milk Tea with Kikkoman Organic Soy Milk & Sakura Honey Boba ($7.65) - I loved this drink! The tea bag is left in the cup. The drink itself was quite ambrosial! What made this drink a notch above was the Sakura Honey Boba! They were absolutely amazing and more than worth the 90¢! I don't know if this is permanently on the (kiosk) menu or not, but I need to get some more! I was a little bit sad when I finished my drink! [ https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oko-cafe-gardena-3?select=HDhM2qA-BfKUOVKaOJZ_Mw ] Interesting fact: Momoko x Moshi Moshi offers 5 different Milk choices - Kikkoman Organic Soy Milk, Oatly Oat Milk, Stratus Organic Milk, Califia Almond Milk, and Hokkaido Non-Dairy Creamer. We also wanted to try the Fresh Tama Strawberry Sakura Cream Sando ($5.50). It took a while for this sando to come out because it is made fresh. It looked like quite a work of art! I must say that eating it was a feat in itself! I tried to cut my half into bite-sized pieces, but everything oozed out from the bread and made a mess! I ended up eating it as a deconstructed sandwich. In a way, it reminded me of a Strawberry Shortcake. [ https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oko-cafe-gardena-3?select=cirXq4KbQYoaVXiTA6FjPg ] It was worth the extra time it took to get the drink & sando because they were made fresh while we waited! Looking back at my pictures, I've been here three times with a 2 year gap between each visit. Wow! I can assure you that I will undoubtedly return this year, not two years from now!

    I love this place. There Boba Teas are the best! This is a family-owned business. Their dog is their mascot. He is so calm and friendly. This place has a WIDE array of flavors. You just can't go wrong. They are located in the heart of Gardena, in the Asian shopping center. You can either sit outside and chill or sit inside and chill. I love the vibe. They play all kinds of music. Today, there were playing Disney songs. You will be greeted by a smile and people very interested in taking your order and making you smile. And, please be patient. Each order is custom made. Small businesses are hurting right now. So, PLEASE stop by the place and give them some support. You won't be sorry.

    Milk tea with boba
    Cody P.

    This cafe is cute! It has a unique paper doodle art style featured in the decor, such as the subway wall with real hanging handles and the paper piano. The drinks themselves are just ok to me. I got 70% sugar and it was still quite sweet. I also didn't taste much tea. The boba was a little chewy, but I would have preferred softer. I like that you can choose your own flavors to mix into the milk tea though. The workers are nice; the older gentleman let us pet his dog. I... might come back... I heard the sandos are good so maybe next time.

Walking in there's plenty of seating and gives Izakaya vibes. One thing I love about this place is their portions and price.

Even if it was $30 I feel like thats solid for what you get. All of it was delicious and I loved the katsu most of all. Would definitely come back and bring my family.

When we arrived for lunch, the place was quite festive with a mixture of young people, families with kids, and an ongoing lunch party with senior ladies. Luckily, we were able to get the last table, and the friendly waiter brought the water and menus right away. After browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items: Special Fish Combo (Spanish Mackerel): The Spanish mackerel was nicely grilled but lightly seasoned. It had quite a few bones, which took a little bit out of the enjoyment of the meal. The udon noodles had a very nice texture, however the broth was on the bland side. The California rolls were well made and flavorful. Tempura Combo: The shrimps were tender, however, the battered outer layer of the tempura was a tad thick and not quite airy. Like Fish Combo, the udon had a bland broth, and the California rolls were fine. Our main issue was the 50-minute wait time for the meals. As a courtesy, the restaurant definitely should have informed us about the delay.

I decided to keep things simple and ordered the sashimi and broiled mackerel fish set, which came with rice, miso soup, cabbage salad, and macaroni salad. My husband couldn't settle on just one dish, so he went all out with a chicken oyakodon, grilled salmon, steamed eggplant, and a stir-fried chicken and bean sprout dish. The restaurant itself is narrow and deep, which actually reminded me of some of the small alleyway restaurants we visited during our travels in Japan. It added to the cozy and authentic feel. The service was attentive, especially when we requested a few extra items. One thing that really stood out was their ponzu sauce. It seemed to include green onions and perhaps a touch of vinegar, and it was absolutely delicious. It paired perfectly with the sashimi, steamed eggplant, and even the chicken dishes. Next time, I'm definitely going to spend some time studying the menu beforehand. The portions were generous enough that we had leftovers for another meal, and we were lucky enough to find parking right in front of the restaurant.

Service was very quick, probably because it was practically empty at the time we went. The food came within 5 minutes of us ordering. Friendly waiter. Clean bathroom. Bathroom has 1 women's only and 1 family neutral (inside has a urinal) bathroom, so I'm guessing this is just a retrofitted men's bathroom. World Cup decorations everywhere at the time of writing this. Overall great spot to eat delicious handrolls.

It was pretty busy on a Sunday evening, but after about a 5-minute wait for a table to be cleaned, we were seated. The space had a lively, casual vibe -- definitely a popular spot for dinner. I love seafood, but I also really wanted to try the katsu, so even though I'm not a big eater, I went with Combo D... which was huge. Honestly, I think it could easily feed two people. The side soup and bread came out almost immediately. The soup was simple but nice with a bit of pepper, and the bread was so good -- warm, soft, and buttery (I had to pace myself knowing what was coming). The pasta was delicious -- the clams weren't overly "clammy" (lol), and the cream sauce was light and not too heavy. The katsu was crispy and satisfying, and the salad added a nice, refreshing balance. Everything worked really well together. I ended up taking a good portion home, and even reheated, it was still just as good! Overall, a great spot with generous portions and solid food. I'd definitely come back and would recommend it to others!

    Overall impression: Everything we tried was excellent -- no complaints at all…read more Food highlights: We ordered the octopus sunomono, crispy gyoza, seared marinated mackerel, hard shell clam, fried chicken, and mentai cream hotpot. · The fried chicken is among the best we've had in LA. · The gyoza and mentai cream hotpot are absolute must-tries. Service: Attentive and genuinely doing their best -- very solid. Ambiance / decor: A bit dated, but practical and comfortable.

    This restaurant came up on my FB feed, and the food looked really good, so we thought, "Why not…read moregive it a try?" I usually read through the Yelp comments and look at the photos before trying a new place, but this time I only checked the rating -- which was great -- and decided to go based on that and the FB post. Looking back, I probably should have read the reviews first. We didn't realize the bento boxes are only available during lunchtime, and we were also surprised to find out they don't have yakitori. Those were two things we were hoping to try. We came with a party and ordered several items, including the Akatsuki Special Hot Pot, which was recommended to us, along with other dishes. The tempura and karaage were definitely the highlights -- both were really good. The rest of the food was okay for our group, but unfortunately it didn't really satisfy our craving or stand out the way we were hoping. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the staff was friendly. I think the biggest thing was that our expectations were set by what we saw on FB, and the items that caught our attention weren't available when we visited. I would recommend checking their current menu before going so you know what to expect. Maybe we'll come back another time to try their lunch menu and explore more of what they offer.
