There are certain foods I crave when the weather gets warm, and a really good bowl of soba is high on that list. Otafuku absolutely delivered. The Kikouchi Soba was fantastic--nutty, earthy, and wonderfully chewy with that satisfying texture you want from properly crafted soba. It had enough character to make the noodles themselves the star of the dish, rather than simply being a vehicle for the broth or toppings. You can really appreciate the craftsmanship here. And don't sleep on the sides. The tofu was excellent--delicate, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The ginkgo nuts were another standout, adding a subtle richness and texture that paired nicely with the meal. Everything felt thoughtfully made rather than like an afterthought. Service was great, and we were able to get seated immediately for Saturday lunch, which is always a win. On the pricier side for soba, but this is one of those places where you can taste where the money went. Quality ingredients, careful preparation, and craftsmanship make it worth the splurge. read more

This place delivers that classic "small-but-mighty" Japanese comfort vibe, the kind of spot where the noodles do the talking and the tempura does the flexing. Interior is clean, simple, friendly service, and soba so good it could probably negotiate the challenges you probably will have finding parking. Parking? Well... let's just say alley parking builds character. Hot Seiro Soba + Tempura, The hot soba comes out steaming like it's clocked in for a full shift. The noodles have that perfect chew, not mushy, not stiff, just that "I trained in Japan for this" texture. Dip them into the broth and suddenly you're rethinking your taste buds in a good way. The tempura? Light, crisp, and not drowning in oil. It's the kind of tempura that makes you feel like you're eating responsibly... even though you're absolutely not. Cold Seiro Soba + Eel & Veggie Tempura, Cold soba is always a personality test. If you order it, you're either a purist or someone who enjoys refreshing noodles that slap. The eel adds that sweet-savory richness, and the veggie tempura brings the crunch. Together, they're basically the Japanese version of a buddy-cop duo. Chicken Skewers, Juicy, lightly charred, and simple, like the restaurant's way of saying, "We know you came for the soba, but here's a little something extra." Overall the Service was pleasant for a Sunday night, which is impressive considering half the customers were probably still recovering from weekend errands. Parking behind the building is... let's call it "intimate." You'll either fit or you won't. Western Ave is your safer backup plan. Consider it part of the Otafuku adventure, like a mini‑boss before the main quest. Miguel C. read more

We visited Otafuku Restaurant right when they opened at 11:30 am on a Saturday, and the restaurant filled up almost immediately. We ordered the Seiro Soba with Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura, which came out within about 10 to 15 minutes. We ordered a large to share, and without us even asking, they split the soba into two portions for us. That small gesture really reflected the service overall. The staff was very sweet and welcoming throughout our meal. The Seiro Soba was unlike any soba we've had before. The noodles had a noticeably chewier texture than the buckwheat soba we're used to, but we really enjoyed them. The tempura was also very good, with the Perilla Leaf Tempura being my personal favorite. Parking nearby seemed limited, so we parked along 166th St. and walked over. There was plenty of street parking available when we visited. The restaurant had a very homey, neighborhood feel, and it was clear that a lot of regulars come here. I'd definitely come back to Otafuku Restaurant to try more of their noodles. read more

I would start that I'm not a great judge at Japanese traditional dishes. I learn of new dishes all the time and will say that I had a wonderful time trying to dishes at Otafuku. The staff were wonderful and friendly. The ambiance was comfortable and although not overly quiet, it was comfortable to have our own conversation. Hahaha As for the dish I originally went for was the soba, but I changed my mind. I had the Eel Tempura bowl, and it was very tender and tasty. I can't wait to go back and try their other offerings. Enjoy... read more

Otafuku is well known for its variety of soba and yakitori dishes, though the entire menu looked tempting. I ordered the hot seiro soba with Japanese mountain potato. Note that all of the soba toppings are priced separately, which can make the dish a bit expensive. That said, we added shrimp and scallop tempura, and it was absolutely delicious. For yakitori, we tried the chicken wings and the chicken meatball. The meatball was amusingly served as one giant chicken-sicle! The wings had great flavor, though the skin was a bit too fatty. My husband also ordered a pork cutlet bowl, and we shared a sashimi plate with scallop, cod, salmon, and two types of tuna. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. We also shared the jidori egg and seaweed salad. Out of everything we ordered, my favorites were definitely the sashimi, the shrimp and scallop tempura, and the jidori egg. They do take reservations, but when we visited on a Sunday night, we were lucky enough to be seated right away. Dining here really felt like being back in Japan, and we'll definitely return. read more

I'd give Otafuku a solid 4 stars. The standout dish for me was definitely the Berkshire pork , probably my favorite thing we ordered. It was flavorful, tender, and something I'd order again next time. The rest of the food was good overall, and I liked the variety on the menu. Service was friendly and everything came out at a good pace. The ambiance is simple and casual, which fits the restaurant well. It's a nice spot in Gardena when you're craving Japanese food without anything too fancy. Definitely worth checking out, especially for the Berkshire pork! read more

THE place for cold seiro soba in LA or LA County. I bring every guest visiting from out of town; the snobbiest of my food friends drive all the way from central LA to eat here, and they're right to. Eel tempura is also great! Small and enormously popular with locals so definitely make a reservation if coming in the evening. read more

Easy eats soba noodles in a low key space. Went for a Friday evening dinner - would recommend RSVP'ing but was able to walk in. There is a parking lot in the back but would recommend street parking as it gets pretty cramped in the lot. Vibe feels like an old school mom n pop Japanese restaurant - relaxed and welcoming. Was sat immediately - ended up ordering the hot Seiro soba, some shrimp and veggie tempura, and a beer. Everything was light, but filling and tasty. Noodles disappeared pretty quickly - definitely enjoyed it, as well as the broth. Tempura was also very well cooked. The shrimp tempura wasn't sad shrimp, they were sizable. Two meals were about $65 ish all together - not bad. Would come back! read more

Otafuku Restaurant - Seiro soba w/ shrimp & veggie tempura - Japanese Near Me - Gardena, California

On a weekday night around 6:45, we were able to be seated right away, but by the time we left, I think it was a full house! They do take reservations. Our waitresses were very kind and helpful; great service! They have 3 different kinds of soba. I got their signature seiro soba which is 80% buckwheat and a white noodle. This alone is $18 which I think is steep for the amount of soba and dipping sauce. It was tasty though and I enjoyed it because it felt lighter than other soba dishes I've had. Then you can add some other items on to make a combo, so I got the vegetable tempura. This is more worth its price at $14. It came with a variety of 8-9 pieces of tempura in a light and crispy batter! It was a good combination, just wouldn't necessarily pay $30+ for it again. But I would come back to try other items! At the end of the meal, they bring hot water to pour into the rest of the soba dipping sauce and become a broth. It was warm, savory and according to our waitress, "good for you!" read more

Otafuku Restaurant - Seiro soba (regular) with vegetable tempura - Japanese Near Me - Gardena, California

Seiro soba (8.5/10): delicious. I preferred cold over hot, as the cold noodles have an amazing chew. We got the shrimp and veggie tempura with it. Not sure why it costs $14 (nearly doubles the price of the soba), but I do concede that the tempura was perfectly fried. Jidori Egg Omelet (9/10): this was an experience. Never had anything like this before. Really elevated egg to a new level. This is a must-order Chilled Supreme Tofu (8/10): very soft and custard tofu. Great starter for the meal Karaage (8/10): nicely fried and tender within. Salt levels were perfect. Jidori Egg Custard (9/10): omg this dessert is so good!!! Save room for this at the end. So creamy. Red bean Soup (8/10): also a great dessert. Less unique than the egg custard, though Service was fantastic. Restaurant space is very nice as well. read more

Otafuku is gass. Everything I had was insanely delicious. There were 5 of us and the appetizers all had 5 pieces which was perfect. The first thing I tried was the Sizzling Mushroom Gravy over Crispy Rice; The dish was to die for and my personal favorite thing I tried. I don't even know how to describe how flavorful and well put together the gravy was with mushroom pieces that were perfectly soft and easy to eat. Next was the salad which was so fresh, citrusy, and tasty; It was salty and all the flavors complemented each other so well forming a perfect citrusy salad. After that was the shrimp tempura. It was not too fried/flaky. It was kind of like a taquito. The shrimps flavor was very fresh with a complementary umami flavor. The Sardine Sashimi was super high quality. It was super soft and fatty and ended with a heavy pleasant fishy flavor. The miso grilled cod was great. Not much to say about it was almost creamy and the miso was good. I ate the skin too and it tasted great. The main part of this place is the soba. The kikouchi soba are thicker 100% buckwheat noodles that were very well cooked and pleasant to eat. The Plum "Ume" broth was so refreshing and nice. I ate it cold; I probably would have preferred it hot but the is just a personal preference. The Ginger Pork was great. The pork itself was super gingery without being too pungent. The shredded cabbage was super easy to pick up and eat and the side of noodle salad and miso soup were great complements to the meal. I can tell no corners were cut anywhere and that Otafuku puts a little of effort into every meal they prepare. There is great care for all of the preparations and it was a very special meal. I felt like I was in Japan for a second as the feel of the restaurant is very "homey" and the ambiance is a nice cheerful atmosphere. read more

Delicious in house made Seiro Soba. If you're a fan of soba or havent had Seiro Soba coming to Otafuku should be on your list of things to try. Came by for lunch with a friend on a sunday at open and was able to snag a seat easily, but the crowd followed shortly after. Very homely vibe in here with families and friends of all types to try the food here. I got the Cold Seiro Soba with the Tempura, and Ive gotta say the Seiro soba is so nice and bouncey, and soaks up the Tsuyu really well to get a full flavored bite with each dip. I prefer cold soba because i like my soba chewy the whole meal, so if you do so i reccomend getting the cold soba. The tempura that came w the order was so nicely and lightly battered that even after eating i didnt feel any sort of heaviness. The Shirmp tempura were surprisingly big, but the shrimp they choose here is also really nicely sweet! Definitely reccoment getting the tempura set with your soba while you're here. Glad ive finally had a chance to get down there any try their soba after years of not getting around to it. Definitely a place worth checking out, and especially to try their Seiro soba! read more

Otafuku Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Gardena, California

Otafuku WAS one of my favorite places for a very long time and whenever I was in the area, I made it a point to eat there. I grew up in the South Bay and it was considered a hidden gem among locals but something has changed and not for the best. I don't know if it was because chef David chang mentioning it on one of his foodie episodes but they removed several items from the menu and the prices have increased astronomically. I recently had their famous seasonal sudachi soba and didn't realize I was paying $23 for sliced sudachi toppings?! Now if they were imported from Japan, maybe this would have made more sense, although not really. But the menu specifically says they were grown in the owner's backyard. So why does it cost $23?? It was a refreshing cold dish, especially considering the hot weather but nothing special. Just their soba, broth and sudachi which I will surely never order again. $18 zaru soba + $23 sliced sudachi toppings= $41 (wo tax and tip) is just outrageous. Even if it's because of inflated food costs, it shouldn't be this much. I am not oppose to paying more for a dish that can justify its price but making it extremely expensive just because it's "popular" or because some celebrity chef mentions you just doesn't sit right with me. This type of business model really upsets me and is the reason why I won't be eating there ever again. read more

Everything you want from yakitori. Would especially recommend every option with chicken skin on it, including the pure chicken skin skewer. Crunchy, chewy, salty, deeply chicken-y. The meatball is tender and flavorful, full of ginger and green onion. The custard was perfect for anyone who enjoys a rich dessert. The caramel was perfectly dark to balance out the overall sweetness. Staff are great and the atmosphere is cozy. It is very popular, so expect it to be pretty packed. Would recommend a reservation, but there is a waitlist if you have a little patience. read more

For me, there's nothing better than Japanese comfort food. I love looking over a menu full of familiar favorites that my mom or grandma used to make. When we walked in after parking in their back parking lot, we were greeted with friendly smiles. We called ahead on a Friday night, but they still had a few open tables. What makes Otafuku extra special is their homemade soba noodles. You can order them hot or cold and can choose from side dishes to make it a combination. I went with hot brown soba noodles with mixed tempura. While the noodles are popular, my husband tried the tonkatsu donburi, which was also very good. It was a large portion and he was only able to eat about half, but he enjoyed it a lot. We also ordered a side of potato salad. Japanese potato salad is something special and I enjoyed it a lot here. The food was warm, comforting and absolutely delicious! read more

We came around lunch time on a weekend and it was packed. Despite the business, they were able to accommodate us at the bar. It has a very homey and family owned feel. The service was fairly quick. The parking lot in the back was a tad tight so we ended up street parking in the neighborhood. We ordered the seiro soba (one hot and one cold with diakon radish/green onion), a combination of shrimp+veggie tempura, and a small salad with yuzu dressing. The food was delicious! Well balanced and delicious! read more

After hearing great things about this spot, I decided to try it out on a Sunday for dinner. I arrived right when they opened at 5p and was sat at the bar top. By 5:30p the crowd rolled in. It is a quaint, hole in the wall style Japanese restaurant, no frills. Service is efficient and kind. I ordered the edamame, hot seiro soba, shrimp and veggie tempura and the marinated miso black cod. Overall, it was an 8/10. It was my first time trying soba, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It had a light, sweet flavor and the noodles were cooked well. The tempura was cooked perfectly and the cod was beyond delicious. Edamame was a bit firm but not bad. I did feel it was overpriced. I paid $71 total for those 4 items. I may try the skewers or rice dish next time. read more

This local Japanese noodle spot came across my feed and when I asked a friend who's from the area if they'd join she said she loves this place. The very simply decorated restaurant felt like I was back in Japan. The noodles and food live up to the hype. The appetizer fried chicken had some of the lightest tempura batter I've ever had. The tempura was super light and also comes with a shiso leaf. The zaru soba was excellent and they give you some hot noodle water towards the end of the meal to turn the dipping sauce into soup. I'd love to go back. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Wasn't too crowded which was nice. The restaurant has a small parking lot in the back with an entrance. I ordered their signature Seiba soba noodles which was pretty good, but the extra 10% flour really does make it a different experience. Good to try, but I'll stick with traditional next time. Ordered a small salad - their homemade dressing was pretty good. The tempura was nice and crispy. The okra tempura was surprisingly good. My friend had the eel tempura which was pretty interesting as well. The service was great. Friendly staff. Worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

I came here to meet up for lunch with a friend and everything from the tiny parking lot to the interior aesthetics felt like an actual restaurant in Japan. The kitchen was pretty open and it was nice to see the chefs in action. The staff was very friendly, as one would expect at a Japanese restaurant. The way it works for part of the order is you first order the type of noodle you want, then you order the toppings/accompaniment with it. My friend and I both ordered the Seiro soba noodles with vegetable and eel tempura, and we also shared the Japanese omelette. The soba noodle came separately from a big bowl of broth for dipping both the noodles and the tempura. The eel and veggie tempura were a very generous portion! Almost intimidating when it came out. When all was said and done, I did think the Seiro soba noodles were the star, with a perfect chewiness to it and the broth with just the right amount of saltiness to it. The eel was fine - I've never had it served like that, and I think I just like it with unagi sauce better. The omelette was great and I highly recommend getting that. Towards the end of our meal, the waitress came by with a pot of something, maybe hot water(?), to mix in with our broth to drink. I thought that was the perfect end to the meal. I would definitely consider coming back. The prices were a little higher than I would normally pay for noodles, but it was a nice treat. read more

Five stars for Otafuku! This place is packed with Japanese nationals so you know it has to be GOOD! I was so excited to try this place, I ordered three dishes for myself! Anago eel tempura. There was a generous portion of eel, deep fried perfectly. The crunch on the outside was perfect and it was not greasy! Serves with a tempura dipping sauce! Grade: A Next I ordered the tempura combination. Generous pieces of shrimp and assorted veggies. The tempura was cooked to perfection. Grade: A I also ordered the anago soba combination. Uiu get to choose between two types of soba. I got the one that was a higher percentage of buckwheat grain. You also get to order it hot or cold. I got the hot. This dish was amazing and I noticed that most tables ordered the lower buckwheat grain soba. All looked good! Grade A Service was amazing. Friendly and helpful! Overall impression grade: A! read more

Otafuku gives the most minimalist, understated vibes. You enter through the back and once you make it through the narrow hallway, it opens into a sleek dining room. It's surprisingly new for such an old institution. The food, like the deco, is understated but bursting with flavors. To start, we shared the Japanese style egg omelet ($9.00). This was so good. The egg is delicately rolled into a fluffy roll. It has a hint of sweetness which is a really nice compliment the egg. I also loved the char-grilled Berkshire pork with yuzu pepper paste ($18.00). The yuzu pepper taste gave each bite a little bit of heat without overshadowing the tender pork. The real star of the evening was the soba. I ordered the zaru soba ($16.00) which is the classic brown soba noodles. They recommend eating this version hot, but I opted for a cold noodle instead. On their own, these noodles were/are intensely good - they're al dente with the perfect amount of chew. I added on tempura crumbles ($2.00), grated daikon radish ($2.50) + dipping sauce with green onion and wasabi. ($2.50). Honestly, the sides/add-ons are very shareable portions so one order is (aside from the dipping sauce) more than enough for 2 people. You can also add on a protein - wild sea eel is delish. (+$16.00). Come early. I came at 5:30 on a Sunday and it was pretty cracking. I think they may or may not take resys, but I could be lying. Come early. read more

Lunch with a friend and I finally convinced her to try something new out of our regular South Bay rotation of Japanese restaurants. I have been looking forward to going to Otafuku for quite some time. Because who wouldn't want to choose between 3 levels of buckwheat levels for soba? Leisurely lunches means we order whatever we want regardless of how many of us are at the table so we got both salads, dashimaki, cold tofu, roasted ginkgo nuts, and soba. Loved it. This was the lightest and satisfying meal. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and executed well. We didn't feel overtly stuffed afterwards...and I needed to portion control to ensure I had space for Felix later. My friend kicks herself for not agreeing to come here sooner. read more

Small place with open kitchen. The fried greasy smell permeated the restaurant. You will leave w/ greasy smell after. Food was quite expensive for basically a bowl of soba and a bowl of dipping broth and a dash of wasabi and green onions. a whopping $15 you get nothing else with a small portion and leaving you feeling empty lol. You can add additional $10 for probably like eight small pieces of vegetables, well one piece was literally a piece of shiso. Regular price for the tempura is $13. And the dipping broth for your soba also acts as the tempura sauce. The soba was firm and chewy, which was not bad but not worth the price. Taste was also OK if I'm being honest. There was nothing that really stood out from this place for the price. Park in the back but very limited spaces. Restaurant and restroom were both accessible. read more

This is one of my favorite Izakaya spots in Gardena! otafuku is one of my go to spots when I'm craving Japanese food in Southbay Los Angeles!

I came back in the summer for the handmade soba. The noodles were bold with the buckwheat flour and held a chewy texture. The chicken ball skewer was tasty. It was thick but well-marinated.

The food was good and I enjoyed my meal, but I was disappointed by the surcharge. After paying, I noticed the bill included the food cost, tax, and an additional surcharge. When I asked what it was, the staff confidently told me it was a credit card processing fee. When I asked why this wasn't mentioned beforehand, they simply said it was written on the receipt, which came across as dismissive and unprofessional. Most people ask for the check and hand over their credit card right away, so it's not like customers are carefully reviewing every line before paying. Because of this experience, I would recommend checking the receipt carefully before making payment. The suggested tip percentages on the receipt also seemed completely inaccurate, which added to the confusion. I didn't want to argue and just left, but the whole situation left a bad impression. If you pay with cash, you pay the regular menu price. If you pay by card, an additional fee is added. My bill was around $135 and some change, but it was rounded up to $140. I'm still not sure what the rounding policy was or how they calculated it. The food itself was good, but the lack of transparency regarding the extra charges made the overall experience disappointing. read more

still one of our favorite restaurants down in the South bay. good service with a smile. It's an izakaya, so doesn't have loads of ambiance, but is clean with tightly pack tables.
