The restaurant itself is clean and has a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. It's a bit tucked away in the corner of the plaza, so it can be easy to miss at first, but it's definitely worth finding. The miso eggplant and sung hon ramen were standout dishes for me; would definitely recommend.

The restaurant itself has a very clean, bright atmosphere that's perfect for a focused lunch or a relaxed dinner. But....The standout here is definitely the broth--it has an incredible creamy texture that's rich and velvety without feeling heavy. 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.

The staff were very kind as well. Price may be expensive to some, but it's definitely worth it in my opinion. My friend and I were full just from this set alone. The sushi was extremely fresh! You can really taste the fish without it being overbearingly fishy. It was clean and cut well. Bonus, look at the beautiful presentation! :) Will definitely be back.

Went recently with friends. Staff seemed nice enough but so many staff members interacted with us…read morewhich in a way was nice because we got to see the team work well together. We felt bad for the trainee who seemed shy and slightly overwhelmed when i asked some questions (before seeing her trainee name tag). Still the service was nice. The food was mouth watering. So much so i didn't get any pictures. We got some bento boxes and a few additional rolls. We were stuffed. The fish tasted fresh and the portions were fair. For this area especially ir felt very reasonably priced Parking is available locally. The immediate parking available is metered but our friends walk from a few blocks over in the residential space. Sometimes residential is easier

Working late sometimes requires a decent place that still opens and operate for folks who often…read morework late shifts or just staying later to beat the traffic going home. Sounds dreadful, but sometimes, that opens opportunity for exploring around the local eats. One of them is this local ramen shop, Blossom Ramen, that happens to be tucked inside the nice small El Segundo villages/shops in this quiet neighborhood. At night time, there are plenty of parking. This Ramen Shop closes pretty late (~11pm) while other local shops are already closed. Thus, parking is pretty open. I can't say the same during the morning or dayshift. At night time, you can see through the open window layout of the Ramen Shop and actually see if it is packed or not. Roughly 6 tables seating up to 2, as well as 7/8 tables seating up to 4. The register and reception area is right up front immediately when you walk through the glass door. The Menu is displayed up on the LCD screen as well as the laminated doubled-side sheets. Plenty of various types of Ramen to choose from. Order is taken and paid up front. Once ordered, along with your drinks, the waiter will bring the order to you directly so you can enjoy it. The interior decor of the Ramen Shop speaks volume to the "Blossom" that is in the name. The designer must really and truly like Cherry Blossom to decorate the interior as such. Wallpaper in cute anime/cartoonish form is seen throughout. I ordered the "Red Ramen" and when it came out, it was probably the most delicious and flavorful Ramen I've had. It wasn't a Tonkatsu nor Miso based soup, but more of a curry flavor based. The noodles was very delicate and very aldente! I had also ordered a pint of Sapporo to go with it and it tasted so amazing when parred together. I'm recommending this shop for late night eats or just whenever you feel like it or feel like eating Ramen. I'll have to try the other soup base the next time I'm around here.

We were the first ones in, and the staff made us feel so welcomed right away. One small moment that really stood out: they noticed the napkins at our table were a bit small, and without us even asking, one of the waiters came over with larger ones. It may seem like a little thing, but to me that kind of attentiveness and anticipation of a guest's needs speaks volumes. As for the food so, so good. I ordered the miso tonkotsu, my husband got the mentai tonkotsu, and we shared the chicken karaage... and OMG, the karaage was so incredibly delicious. Crispy, flavorful, just perfect.

If someone doesn't like Japonica, then they must have defective taste buds!…read more Japonica of El Segundo is absolutely one of the top sushi restaurants in all of the South Bay of Los Angeles. They make my Friday night fish dinner a step in the food-heaven direction. The staff is out of this world, with a lovely manager, attentive servers, and talented chefs. The spicy edamame is a perfect starter if you'd like your plain edamame to have a flavor kick. The portion is big, making it plenty enough for a group of four to enjoy together. Unless you're a glutton like I am and don't feel like sharing, haha. The bluefin carpaccio practically melts in your mouth. The cut of the bluefin is absolutely just what your stomach is craving. Soft, flavorful, and satisfying to say the least. The white lightning is a saucy garlic surprise. The ever so slight sear on the albacore makes this roll have a dance party on your tongue. The garlic butter that the roll sits in has such a great taste that I just want to drink it down. Japonica El Segundo is placed in a small "strip mall" type of location, with on site parking being limited. There are several disabled designated parking spots right in front of the restaurant. Also, there is plenty of parking up & down Main Street, allowing for closeness within walking distance. There are no stairs/steps needed to enter the restaurant and the televisions do have closed-captions. The noise level is mid, making it easy to have comfortable conversations with your party without having to shout. I would absolutely recommend taking a stroll down Main Street after your meal, giving yourself some time to digest, stretch, and maybe get a scoop of ice cream from one of the local spots.
