We came here to celebrate Father's Day and had a wonderful experience. The service was friendly and attentive, and we enjoyed sitting outdoors in a lovely atmosphere. The sushi rolls were delicious, although the crispy rice wasn't my favorite. Overall, it was a very positive dining experience, and we'd be happy to come back.

RICE is healthy, fresh, accommodating and has great fish and drink options. If you were to consult a gluten free friend, they'd likely give RICE 5 STARS. What an amazing way to give GF peeps access to some of everyone's favorite sushi "go tos". I've been here twice for my GF bestie because she loves it SO much. While I personally like the yellowtail jalapeño sashimi & the cucumber salad the most, I also was unable to try some of the menu due to my soy & shellfish allergies. My friend Steph LOVED the access to GF tempura but opted into some fried lobster cut roll she was literally salivating over. The saki cucumber drink was a little sweet for me but also great as we went on a super hot day. We sat outside on the street and enjoyed the sunshine. Service was great and they're super helpful and on it when it comes to any special requests.

I'm a big ramen fan. I love everything about it, the process, the broth, the delicious flavorful meat. That's why I picked this lace to try, and I truly wish I could give this place 5 stars, but the ramen was missing that umami you look for in deep flavorful broths. I didn't have enough stomach space for sushi, but I'm hoping that when I come back to try that part of the menu, I'm blown away. As for service, it was very good and prompt. The food order was taken quickly and the food was served just as fast. Definately earned 4 stars for the service and ambiance. The ambiance was nice, with several indoor tables and some seating outside.

Crunchy Dynamite Roll (vegan), Kabocha pumpkin and Edamame.
Marcy H.

My favorite place to go for sushi. They have regular and vegan sushi and a delicious kabocha pumpkin dish you cannot find anywhere else. My teenage daughter loves their ramen. The staff are always very attentive and friendly. Both locations are equally fantastic.

Choco Raspberry Tart (Vegan and Gluten Free)

The food was amazing! Both the vegan options and the fish. They have so many allergen friendly options but it doesn't stop it from being amazing food. The service was great and included hot chamomile tea at the end of our meal.

We decided to try the sample prix fixe course for $35 in celebration for a friend's bday lunch. Chose the corn soup (brought back memories in Japan), really delicious, fresh garlic albacore and you could choose a roll. I had the lobster roll which was delicious, cooked just right without it being dry or overcooked. The passion fruit mochi had good flavor. I'd like to go again and try the other goodies! Service was great, attentive and kind. You could choose to sit inside or out. また来ます。

Food - The food was amazing the cucumber salad was everything. Service - We did not have a reservation but when we walked up we were seated quickly. We sat outside since it was a nice day. Overall this place and a hidden gem and I would recommend people to try it out.

Shishito
Jennifer T.

We've been here twice in two weeks! The service is consistently great. The ambience reminds me of restaurants in Tokyo- a small space used well. It's lively and welcoming. The food is amazing! It's so hard to find good gluten free Asian food so this place is a gem! Over the years, we have been here a several times and everything is good. We recommend trying: tempura (bc you can't get gluten free tempura in many places) shishito peppers, Brussel sprouts, anything with crispy kale, garlic edamame, garlic toro kale (something like that), any of the sushi items, and the crispy sushi, too. My husband also likes their yellowtail collar. To drink, I like the sake cocktails, but I actually love their yuzu maple hot ginger non alcoholic beverage! I'm usually so stuffed that I don't have room for dessert but their coconut and mango mochi ice cream is nice if you want a taste of sweetness. We also came for an early birthday celebration for me and they made it so special. We will definitely be back soon!

What is your corkage fee?

$20.

Do they offer gluten free beer?

yes, we have "ground breaker" gluten free beer.

Do you offer gluten free options for people with celiac?

Their food is all gluten free.

Parking is available?

No lot, just street parking. Usually not too hard to find, although you may need to circle a few times.

Do you still offer lunch specials?

Rice is a small restaurant and does not have an outdoor dining area. I believe that the state law allows dogs in a restaurant's outdoor seating area only.

Hidden in plain sight, Kagura is a top tier Japanese dining experience. It should be noted that this place is more $$$ than it is $$, and that's a compliment. I dropped $50+ here and it was easy to say it was worth it. I treat myself to the Kagura Gozen chef especial that was limited on how many was served per day and a Orion Okinawa draft beer. Plus, I had leftovers. The chef special came with more-than-a-little of everything. Each dish was unique and delicious. I was treated to a full spread of amazing Japanese cuisine. Sashimi was fresh, katsu was thick and juicy with a lightly breaded crust, eel was flavorful and soft, and the soba noodles were perfect. The restaurant is clean and beautifully laid out. I got vibes of actually being in Japan. If you have a reservation, you can get a private booth. The attractive staff were fantastic. Friendly and fast. Water glass was always full and empty dishes were promptly removed. Last tid bits. Two clean solo bathrooms and street parking.

It was our first time visiting the Bar and my husband got the Taste of the Bar while I got the 6 piece hand roll fixed menu. The Taste of the Bar had the most unique recipes for their rolls and came with a sake or green tea, which was amazing iced. The Bar is located in a super fun little strip mall towards the back of the mall. It's sort of low key, so it's not really too crowded, hard to find parking, or much of a wait to be seated generally. I loved how friendly and social the staff are as you're being served your hand rolls, it made the experience that much more enjoyable. Service is prompt and you're welcome to order more food at any point during your meal. I loved the 6 piece. It was a more traditional hand roll offering of salmon, spicy tuna, amber jack, blue crab, toro, and scallop. The hand rolls were all so flavorful, but my favorites were the blue crab for its creaminess and the amber jack for the lemon zestiness that paired so well with the protein. The hand roll portions are generous and I was stuffed by the end.

Walking in, the atmosphere was nice. It is a smaller place so if you are going with a big group,…read morethis isn't the place for that. I would say there is a total of maybe 10 seats or less. I was with a group of 4 of us and we took up about half the seating. I got the 3 roll plus the spicy tuna crunch roll. The rolls were good and was presented in a nice fashion. The fish tasted good and the rolls were delicious. Service was good. I wouldn't say it was out of this world good but decent. The price is a bit on the expensive side especially because we had to go somewhere else and eat after because it was not filling. That's the only reason why I knocked off a star was because of that. It was a good experience.

We ordered the xxl ramen and what we get wasn't on the picture. The picture has eggs, corn meat , green leek and pickled carrots and mushrooms.

I hope they could have put the real picture without eggs corn and other things so we wouldn't expect the picturesque food. The broth very good and ramen noodles soft and sweet as well.

It's a small eating area with a nice rustic wooden ambience--somewhat darkened with Japanese decor. It's in the Tozai Plaza immediately east of Western Ave. There are a bunch of mostly Asian restaurants in this plaza, but you can't see them easily from the nearby streets. I have eaten the Mini Katsudon Set twice, which is a pork cutlet on rice with a sweet and savory egg included. It includes Udon as well, which is also great. I've tasted the Kalbi, macaroni salad, and house salad, and all of the food is of high quality. The help are also nice, and that's where I got the Mom and Pop vibe from. They gave me a complementary macaroni salad when I picked up my takeout order.

*** Credit cards accepted ***…read more Kotohira Restaurant is one of several old school Japanese restaurants in Gardena and the restaurant specializes in Okinawan food (Okinawa soba) and Sanuki udon. The restaurant is located in a fairly busy strip mall with other popular restaurants and drink shops located within the same mall. Renowned food critic Jonathan Gold from the Los Angeles Times wrote an article about this restaurant back in 1992 ( https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-07-09-fo-2127-story.html ). [Parking]: The strip mall has a big enough lot and our party had no issue finding an available spot during weekday dinner hours. [Interior]: Old school Japanese mom-and-pop dining vibe. [Menu]: The restaurant offers various combo sets with tempura, bento, udon, and seafood (unagi, salmon, grilled mackerel, etc). Their specialty dishes are Shoyu Udon and Tanuki Udon. *** Tendon Combo (assortment of fried tempura with a semi sweet sauce poured on top of rice $15.95): The fried tempura pieces were not as good as the tempura from Tendon Tempura Carlos Jr. as the combo lacked variety. The miso that came with this combo was really good. *** Overall a mediocre experience with the tempura combo that I ordered, but I sampled the udon and liked it a lot better than the tempura so I would definitely recommend getting their specialty like udon for a better experience.
