We talked about returning to dine but time passed and my guests were no longer in the US. Last week we returned for the first time and we had a fantastic meal. My favorite dish was the wagyu beef fried rice. It was fantastic, perfectly prepared and wonderfully seasoned. Without a doubt a complete and filling meal. We also shared the garlic seafood noodles, another fantastic dish with an abundant portion seafood. The shrimp was very flavorful and made the dish very special. Parking is easy in their private lot.

Upon arriving I felt like I was negotiated whether or not my reservation could be honored. Stood there for 10 min being asked if we would be able to leave by a certain time. We said yes, no problem, we came to eat and go not drink and hang out. The place was nearly empty at our time of arrival. Once the remainder of my party arrived, 3 adults and 5yr old, we were told next time to add her to the reservation. Like she was a paying adult ready to boil and cook her own food Apparently it was a big deal. Mind you, this isn't a full fledged all you can eat establishment. We sat, reviewed the new TERRIBLE menu options. No more "let us chose for you", prefix meals. Thats now reserved for lunch and weekends now. Not directed on what was the mist similar to that. Put our orders in. Waited a while. Broth came drinks came then some appetizers. Finally after about 20 min veggies and meats started to arrive. Started cooking our soups. Had to waive down the servers several times for napkins, refills, and our rice came 30 min later after we reminded them it didnt come out yet. It took way too much time and effort to get their attention. Midway through our meal, a worker came to the table with HOT WATER to add to our broth. HO5 WATER!!?? Why would I want to dilute my soup with WATER??? We collectively decided our meals were ruined and wanted to just pay the check and go. Even THAT took too long. We were a party of 5 adults and a child who drank water. We were charged an automatically included gratuity for the "big party" of $79. For the awful services, diluted food and added small child!!!! We were never given this info before hand and this is when we understood why they were adamant about us counting her as a 6th person. I'm so angry. I do not recommend this place, especially not for the awful service, diluted food and forceful added tax.

Shin-Sen-Gumi Shabu-Shabu Dining

I've been eating at Shin-Sen-Gumi in one form or another for nearly two decades. I remember this…read moreGardena location through different iterations, different menus, different servers, different stages of my own life. Somehow, after all that time, the version I've become most attached to is the one I was initially least interested in trying. The shabu shabu. I have an almost irrational distrust of the words all you can eat. Too often it means somebody with a spreadsheet figured out exactly how thin the beef needs to be before the economics work. More food, less quality, clever tiers and by the end you've eaten twice what you wanted and enjoyed half of it. Shin-Sen-Gumi completely surprised me. My wife and I now come here almost every week, usually for lunch and the lunch sets are fantastic. The Kobe style beef is tender without disappearing the second it touches the broth. It still has texture, flavor and enough substance to feel like you're actually eating good beef. The beef belly looks almost comically fatty when it arrives, then somehow cooks into something rich and satisfying without becoming greasy. The A5 wagyu is even better. A5 can sometimes become three bites of expensive butter, but this has enough bite and structure to keep it interesting. The thickness of the slices is right, which matters more in shabu shabu than people realize. The supporting cast is equally strong. Huge shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, good ponzu, sesame sauce, raw egg for sukiyaki and genuinely excellent hot drops. My only real complaint is that the non AYCE lunch sets could use a more generous vegetable portion. I'd happily take more napa, mushrooms and noodles alongside the meat. What really keeps us coming back, though, is the service. The staff here are genuinely thoughtful. Attentive without hovering, warm without turning hospitality into a performance. We've gotten to know a few of the servers simply because we come so often and that familiarity makes the place feel even better. The restaurant itself is straightforward, clean and organized. Lunch can sometimes be surprisingly empty, which I honestly consider a gift. You sit down, the broth starts bubbling, the meat arrives, everything you need is within reach and for an hour life becomes considerably simpler. I never expected to rediscover a restaurant I'd known for so long and become more attached to it now than I ever was before. Sometimes a place just gets the fundamentals right often enough that you stop evaluating it and start developing a habit. Shin-Sen-Gumi has become that place for us.

Honestly can't believe it took me this long to leave a review. I've been coming to Shin-Sen-Gumi…read moreShabu Shabu for years, and it's one of our regular spots--we're here pretty much every week. We always go for the all-you-can-eat, and it never disappoints. The food is great, and the staff are super friendly, which really makes the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend making a reservation because it can get busy and you'll save yourself the wait. We usually prefer sitting at the bar instead of a table--it's just our favorite vibe. If you love spicy food, definitely ask the staff for the "hot drop" . I'd recommend starting with 1 drop before going up to 2. Two is my limit, but even that really kicks it up a notch. Rain or shine, hot or cold, this is always our go-to spot. Love this place.

Samgyeopsal : A perfect match with aged kimchi. Truly a dream pairing. Nakji-bokkeum : Sweet, salty, and spicy all at once -- the kind of flavor that makes you reach for a spoonful of rice immediately. Cheese Pancake : Crispy outside, soft inside, with melted cheese wrapping around the green onions. Great texture between bites of meat. Kimchi Stew : The depth of aged kimchi comes through clearly -- not harsh, just clean and comforting. Steamed Egg : Soft, fluffy, and cloud‑like. Simple but perfect.

It was a busy day for Mul Naeng-Myeon but they conveniently had a couple tables for us. They can get busy, and there was a line forming as we were eating, so it is understandable if the service can seem a little pushy at times, and this comes out in very subtle ways (i.e. There's no AC, only a small fan. If they want you to leave, they'll position the fan away from you). Cold water is also only available upon request, as well as extra napkins. Otherwise, you'll be wiping your mouth with a one-ply napkin the whole time. The banchan was great. I especially loved the onions and perilla leaves. The kimchi tasted fresh and tangy, but the radishes were a bit too sweet and cut very clunky. The Naeng-Myeon was good; it tasted very heavily of sesame, and not much else. The meat was also pretty tough to chew. Very filling, but expensive for the amount of meat you get. Definitely made use of the vinegar and mustard, which they eventually took away to give to another table. I'm thinking I just ordered the wrong thing and came on the wrong day. I saw what other people ordered, and it looked delicious, always served with enthusiasm. Next time, I'll have what they're having.

However, the ambiance did not fit the vibe of the restaurant at all? It overall feels like an awkward space and maybe that's due to how empty it was on a Saturday night. We also had a reservation for two people at 6 pm and requested the bar seat however when we got there, they said they couldn't seat us there because people were coming. That I would have understood if it were true. We were there for the next hour and no one came in except for a big party behind us so the restaurant was practically empty. Then later on when we were about to leave another couple came in and they were given the option to choose where to sit. I somewhat got the feeling that the people just didn't care for their customers. As for the food, I first ordered the karaage as I heard it was really good here, and it was. We got it off the happy hour menu and it came with 3 pieces. the meat was nice and tender and the outside had a really nice crisp. It came with a lemon slice, but it could use a little mayo on the side. the edamame was basic but well salted. The negi gyoza was also pretty basic, but good; it was nice and refreshing. The broiled salmon miso was my favorite. It was cooked very well and the flavor was great with a slight sweetness at the end. The Buta Kimchi was a good size but I was hoping for a little more pork, however it was very savory and the kimchi was very flavorful. The Baked Potato Macaroni with Cheese was a confusing name for what it was. It was a baked Mac and Cheese with just a little bit of potato in it. It had a lot of brown butter taste in it, which I enjoyed but it was a bit over powering. Finally the Happa Original Curry Rice was just alright. It felt pretty good and the meat was nicely stewed. I think it would be even better if it were a bit spicy. With decent food, bad pricing, questionable service and an awkward ambiance, I would not come back and would not recommend this restaurant.

I just remember working nearby when I was younger and Saigon Dish becoming part of the routine. I came constantly. Sometimes practically every day. This was before the larger setup they have now, when the whole operation felt smaller and you got to know the person behind it pretty quickly. That person is John. And before we get into pho, John deserves his paragraph. He is one of those increasingly rare restaurant owners who makes you genuinely happy to hand him your money. In the early days, before I became the longtime regular who mostly gives him shit, I remember him talking me through ingredients. Why he chose something. What I should order. What was good that day. There was an intentionality behind the food that told you somebody was paying attention. And that's the thing I respect most about this place, he never let it go. The restaurant grew. Life moved on. I stopped working nearby. I got older. I brought coworkers. Then friends. My parents. My sisters. Eventually my wife and kids. And the pho is still good. I should establish that I'm obnoxious about pho. I've eaten a lot of it, from tiny places where nobody particularly cares whether you know they exist to polished restaurants charging you for the privilege of sitting underneath an Edison bulb. There are spectacular bowls all over California. So I'm not going to tell you Saigon Dish serves the single greatest pho ever created by mankind. It doesn't need that kind of BS. What it does incredibly well is balance. The broth is clean. That's the word I always come back to. Clean. Deep enough that you know something happened before it reached your bowl, but it doesn't club you over the head with star anise and herbs. And it isn't the sad, watery approximation of pho you sometimes encounter when you wander too far west and somebody has decided broth should taste like hot water that once met a cow. This tastes like pho. The filet mignon is consistently tender and smooth. The tripe is properly cleaned. The tendon is cooked beautifully, soft and gelatinous without disintegrating, which is where tendon should live. The meatballs are surprisingly good. The well done beef can occasionally lean a little dry for my taste, but that's what the bowl of broth and a little sriracha are for. I've also eaten my way through so much of the menu that reconstructing it would require archaeological work. Egg rolls? Get them. Rice dishes? Yep. Noodles? Yep. Vietnamese coffee? Obviously. Coconut drinks? Go for it. I've brought an absurd number of people here over the years and the remarkable thing is how universally the place works. Pho nerds can find something to obsess over, but you can also bring somebody who barely knows Vietnamese food and they'll be completely comfortable. And then there's the operation itself. This isn't some immaculate Beverly Hills dining room designed by a hospitality group. Thank God. It looks like a South Bay Vietnamese restaurant. Every available corner seems to have acquired a purpose. People are moving everywhere. Tables are turning. Someone needs extra onions. Someone wants another bowl. Someone's asking for sriracha. Somebody's kid needs chopsticks. Water appears before you realize you need it. And somehow it flows. That's harder than it looks. Service here has always felt unusually effortless to me. Not performative. Nobody is giving you a TED Talk about the provenance of the bean sprouts. They just take care of you. Parking occasionally becomes its own little hunger game. Don't panic. Circle around, wait a few minutes, somebody will finish their pho and leave. I've written a lot of reviews and I don't throw five stars around because then five stars stop meaning anything. But how exactly do you rate a restaurant you've voluntarily returned to for close to thirty years? At some point consistency becomes the review. I've watched Saigon Dish grow from the little place I remember into what it is today. I've sent coworkers here. Friends. My parents. My sisters. My own family. I've probably eaten enough of John's pho at this point that some measurable percentage of my body belongs to the restaurant. And I'm still coming back.

We ordered the galbi combo with spicy tofu. Soup was under seasoned and inedible. The galbi was the cheapest flaken cut you can buy at the Korean market. Its was fatty and full of gristle and was not cooked and was raw in the middle. The staff in Korean were bad mouthing and so sour working there it was sad. If you under staffed and unhappy then go to the back and scream and cuss but Why are you so sour and make sure the customers can hear you while passing by with the food and complain it's too busy ? There was one elderly lady maybe in her 80s with possibly her two daughters. They were sitting there for at least 45 minutes when the waitress came up and said I just want to double check your order that's when they realized that the waitress didn't even put their order in they were saying in Korean that please don't leave. Granny is here and we will get the food out as soon as possible and yet as they were leaving the table, you can see them with a smirk on their face. It was disgusting. The worst part is isn't actually even over there must've been a table of 20 across from us celebrating a birthday and they were there before we were and they must have been served at least an hour after us and the waitresses were so rude to them. I felt so bad for that party, but they looked so laid-back. I don't know if they really even noticed or cared. We ended up trying to pay for 10 minutes to get out of there and finally just got our own containers from the weight station a plastic bag and as they saw that we were leaving they finally took our payment Maybe this was an off night maybe there was a different cook in the back maybe they were so busy that they just couldn't pay attention to flavor any of their food or cook it thoroughly. Maybe they were short and someone called in for staffing. All I know is everyone with the prior reviews seem to have great service and food, but this is definitely not what we experienced and definitely not what the table behind us or the table in front of experienced This was by far hands-down, the worst experience. Hopefully this never happens to you cause we'll never come back.
