The food was as great as I remember and although the restaurant had plenty of people, we didn't feel rushed. Everything was delicious from the sashimi, tempura, fish, nishime and chicken karaage. The bento box also comes with potato salad, udon and gohan. When I'm in Gardena, this is my choice for Bento Box... You literally get a little of everything!

The tempura was good , not excellent. The shrimp was the best. Ambiance: old school but charming Service: it was a small mom and pop place. The one waitress was very pleasant. I liked it a lot. It's a casual place to get solid Japanese food. Nothing fancy. But solid. Prices are reasonable. 2 for dinner. With edamame and tempura sides plus 20% tip was $74 . So please try them. Bon appetit

The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it has a really nice, cozy decor with cool Japanese characters on the walls. We went with their popular tempura combo paired with cold udon, and also grabbed a shrimp tempura roll. Everything was amazing! These guys absolutely know what they are doing when it comes to tempura, it's always perfectly light, crispy, and delicious. The service was also fantastic, super efficient, quick, and friendly from start to finish. Plus, having a parking lot in the back makes coming here totally stress-free. Another great meal down, highly recommend!

The main dining room has a decent amount of tables that are relatively close together, and felt like a busy izakaya to me. JEWEL BOX: 3/5. The tempura was definitely the star of the show, the sashimi was just okay, and the rice was not good. It was hard, like it was either stale and old, or there just was not enough enough water. SMALL TEMPURA BOWL: 4/5. The batter was soft. It wasn't bad, but I guess I definitely expected a little more from a place that specializes in tempura. SOBA: 5/5. The soba broth was very clean, light, and refreshing.

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.

We were seated immediately with no wait during dinner time, and there's a large free parking lot, so getting in and out was hassle-free. The skewers were good overall, but one thing to note is that they don't have that smoky, charcoal-grilled flavor. If you're expecting a traditional yakitori experience, just keep that in mind. What we ordered: - Momo Kizokuyaki - 7/10 A classic choice. The chicken was juicy and cooked well, but it leaned a little under-seasoned, so it didn't leave much of a lasting impression. - Teba - 6/10 Chicken was kinda dry but seasoning was good. - Harami Beef - 7/10 The beef was tender and cooked nicely, but it also lacked a bit of seasoning. Good texture, just missing that extra punch of flavor that would've made it memorable. - Karaage - 8/10 My favorite dish of the meal. The portion size was just right, and the chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and well-seasoned throughout. - Soboro Don - 8/10 This reminded me of an elevated Yoshinoya beef bowl--in the best way. It had richer flavors, better-quality ingredients, and the fresh ginger added a bright, flavorful contrast that tied everything together. Beyond the food, the service really stood out. Every staff member we interacted with was warm, respectful, and attentive without being overbearing. The restaurant was also spotless, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I'd definitely come back. While a couple of the skewers could use a little more seasoning and that signature smoky flavor, the friendly service, clean atmosphere, easy parking, and solid food make this a spot that's worth checking out.

The restaurant itself has a very clean, bright atmosphere that's perfect for a focused lunch or a relaxed dinner.

You can tell they put a lot of time into developing that depth of flavor. Every spoonful was perfectly balanced by the fresh scallions, and the slight heat from the peppers. If you appreciate a ramen broth with real body and soul, Gomaichi is a must-visit.

Good local neighborhood spot for ramen…read more Went for lucnh and was able to grab a seat fairly easily as a single diner. Went for the Tan Tan Ramen which is the signature - spicy sesame broth with chasu and added an extra egg. The ramen is probably on the lighter side compared to all the ramen trend nowadays, with the sesame broth adding just a slight kick, wouldn't really say it is spicy. The sesame does add a depth you normally don't see. Chasu is probably the weakest of the ramen, while the egg was solid. Also got some kaarage which I really enjoyed and would get it again! Nice friendly service and easy in the plaza!
