Coincidence and absolutely amazing flavors! ​My father-in-law and I went out for sushi, originally planning to visit another spot. When we found out our initial destination was closed, we decided to give this charming little restaurant right next door a chance--and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we've ever made! ​The venue is small, cozy, and beautifully reflects that authentic Japanese restaurant soul. A special shout-out goes to Edi, who took care of us from the moment we walked in until the end of our meal. He provided such polite and wonderful service that made us feel incredibly comfortable. ​The menu was so extensive and rich that we had a hard time choosing, so we asked Edi for help. He highly recommended that we try the Midnight Roll. Without exaggeration, it might be the most delicious sushi I have ever eaten in my life! The harmony of the crabmeat, avocado, and crunchy shrimp tempura inside, combined with the fresh salmon on the outside and the exquisite sauces on top (eel sauce, white mayo, and spicy mayo), literally melted in our mouths. You could truly feel the freshness of the ingredients in every single bite. ​If you want to experience wonderful service and eat genuinely high-quality, fresh sushi, you should definitely drop by here. If you go, you can comfortably leave your choices to Edi's recommendations! We will absolutely be coming back. read more

Kiraku Japanese Ramen & Sushi was a great spot for a family meal. My family and I ordered bento boxes, and they were a great value for the price--so much food and a nice variety all on one tray. Everything was yummy and satisfying. I chose the beef bulgogi for mine, and while I really enjoyed the flavor, I did feel the meat could've been cooked a little more. That said, it didn't take away too much from the overall experience. While we were eating, a small altercation happened when a rowdy person attempted to order food. The situation could've been uncomfortable, but the staff handled it very gracefully and professionally. What really stood out was how kind they were afterward--they offered all the kids in the restaurant a Capri Sun for the inconvenience, which was such a thoughtful and considerate gesture. Overall, good food, generous portions, and genuinely caring staff. We'd definitely come back. read more

I absolutely love coming here! Not only is their food great, but so is the service. Everyone, including the owner, are so attentive and kind. The hospitality abounds here. In the past 2-4 times I have been here, I have never had a bad experience. My favorite is their sushi here. I highly reccomend their appetizer, the Firecracker. It is so delicious! I got the Calientes roll as well and it was to die for. You can go no wrong with choice of sushi here. My sister is vegan, and she got a vegetarian ramen that was also delicious. Highly, highly reccomend giving this place a visit. The vibes are always great, and you will leave with a smile on your face. Great job to the staff! read more

The food is really good. My favorites are the Mabo tofu Han (extra spicy) and udon/ ramen soups. They have sushi if that's what you crave and it's pretty tasty. The service here is awesome, they are pretty attentive and quick. They have just remodeled and it looks more modern and simpler. It's a good place to bring the family or catch up with a friend. read more

Me an my family are regulars here and all the staff are SOOOO kind and helpful (and super sweet ) There's and older guy with longer hair that we've became friends with along with a middle aged Asian woman server that we also chat with. The service is always so amazing. The food is super good too! Everything has really good flavors that blend nicely together and I usually get the bento meal, since you get a lot of food and it is at a reasonable price. I usually get sesame chicken and teriyaki salmon but they have many other options. Also, the new remodel makes the vibe super chill an they always have special deals. The inside is super modern and you could definitely take some tiktoks or Instagram vids here since the vibe is like.. inviting? Idk how to describe it, but visit here and you'll get it! read more

Went for a late lunch with a friend and Kiraku was a great option. Service and staff were very friendly and attentive. Break a chopstick, new one is there before you realize. We both ordered the special with ramen and a 4 piece of sushi. Ramen was full size. I got a mid spicy sauce but could have gone spicier. Great flavor. Sushi roll was fresh and tasty. They also treated us to a cucumber salad with a lovely dressing. Would definitely go back and check out more of the menu. read more

Sooo good! The sushi taste fresh!! Rice is warm. :) My go to is the Hot Night Roll. If you like caviar, order some caviar rolls. The Bento Box is also a pretty cool deal. You get a roll a main dish, salad, miso soup and lil potstickers. I don't eat pork so I opted out for a chef special. :) my new favorite place to come to. I've also ordered the spicy Ramen.the bowl is large so be prepared to leave full, heathy and in a good mood too because they play some dope music while you eat. read more

Thank you Laurie, you were so attentive and you made sure that I was taken care of.

This place has AMAZING Ramen, their customer service is also top notch. I love that they have an option to get Sushi and Ramen which means if you feel like eating both you don't have to choose one or the other. The ambiance in this place is great, the guy that has helped us the few times I've been there loves providing options and his favorites which I greatly appreciate. Their Beef rib Ramen is beyond DELICIOUS and tender read more

Ambiance: I ordered to go, but inside was bright with a decent amount of seating. It's a bit crowded but clean and simple. Service: I went on a Sunday night, so it was kind of chaotic. People waiting to be seated, waiting to order or pick up from delivery services. The servers were really kind, though. Food: I've never had this place before, and I ordered to go, so my experience was altered. Overall, my ramen was ok, was warm instead of hot, so much noodles didn't really soften up like niodles typically do. The flavor was decent, nothing really special. Parking lot wasn't great. read more

Kiraku - Yellowtail Carpaccio - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gardena, California

Food (3/5): The food is ok but that's pretty much it. I come here whenever my sister is hankering a craving, but I don't bother very much coming here on my own. I usually have the spicy tonkotsu and honey, it is SPICY! I wish the noodles were more al dente and the broth just tastes like spicy peppers as opposed to a fatty and earthy broth. The meat is also pretty fatty which I normally like, but here it felt a little excessive. Service (5/5): You can tell that people frequent here and I love that the wait staff here remember their loyal customers Ambiance (4/5): A casual spot for families and friends! It's an intimate spot with limited seating. Price (4/5): The ramen is $13.95 which is slightly cheaper than the $15 I'm usually spending for ramen. It's worth the quantity for sure! read more

Note: B rating with health department. I personally went anyways. Up to you! With this economy and the cost of prices, I would say it is only one $ in terms of budget, as opposed to two $$. They have combos for lunch and dinner at just under $20 (about $19.xx). You can combine two different sushi types, sushi and ramen, etc. I love the variety when I can't decide. The service is great. We went and were the only ones there, but even when we've gone during rush hour, the service is still good. I got the sushi and ramen combo. The sushi was delicious, however, the ramen lacked taste. The egg didn't seem to have been cooked with the brother but rather on the side. To add taste to the ramen, I kept putting soy sauce to fix it, but it seemed to never get better. I gave up and took it home and ate it another day, and it tasted a lot better, even the meat was delicious this time! I will say, I was sick (I wore a mask and wasn't contagious), so that could've had a lot to do with it. It could have also been that the sushi filled me up. If I go again, I will update the review! Photos of what we ordered below. read more

So disappointing! We ordered the Las Vegas rolls and some other items. We received hard over cooked deep fried sushi. That wasn't even edible. I called to let them know I was unhappy and my family dinner was ruined.They ask me to call back tomorrow. I replied with no you're kidding me ! I'm coming up there now. I had to drive back to the restaurant and show them there was no sauce with the sushi. They offered to remake it . However at this point I have lost my appetite. I just want my money back. They didn't apologized for the inconvenience they caused or offered anything for the future to make things right! read more

Small but clean, and the staff were super friendly. The menu has a great selection for ramen, sushi, and bento boxes for both lunch and dinner. Price is fair. The food was great with the exception of their spicy garlic edamame. Texture seemed like they used frozen edamame rather than fresh. Overall quick and tasty place for lunch. read more

Only 3.7 stars ? Absurd . This cozy hidden gem is located inside of one of the best plazas for food in the city of Gardena. Before I get into the food , I want to start with the staff ! Everyone's so exceptionally kind . As soon as you walk in you're greeted by everyone from the waiters , the Itamae's (sushi chefs) and everyone in between . Now let's get into why we all visit Yelp , THE FOOD ! I've been here maybe around 50+ times (I'm a local but that in itself speaks volumes ) and leave a happy customer each and every time. If you haven't dined here it's a place you should consider adding to your list ! You won't be disappointed read more

Waiter was the only bright spot during my last time here. Tonkotsu ramen was very bland and the dried gyoza was very limp and tasted as it was fried hours prior and then warmed up in a microwave and served. Hardly any taste and the only saving grace was the shyoyu. Will never come back read more
