Otafuku Restaurant 16525 South Western Avenue, Gardena, CA 90247

"I love this place so much. We BALLED out this nice and drove out from the westside to give this gem a whirl."

"Heard that Torrence was the place to go for real Japanese food so we made a trip from downtown to Otafuku. Awesome food in a casual setting. The soba noodles were amazing…chewy and delicious with the dipping sauce. Got the tempura as well, which was light and crispy. The mackerel and rice was a perfect side and didn’t have any “fishy” taste to it. Beyond the food, service was also fast and friendly."

"Dined in the outdoor patio. Indoors is open for dining as well but it’s a bit cramped for my taste and the outdoor patio is nice enough with cute bistro lighting and some nice plants. Everything we ordered was top notch delightful from the sashimi to the tempura. The tempura was light and delicate, the karaage was very juicy, the pork cutlet permeated all the rice in the bowl in the best way possible. Dining here was a treat."

"This was incredible Some of the best sashimi I’ve had in a long time And the yakitori was phenomenal as well - we got everything!! They were out of tendon and chicken wings unfortunately but we got just about everything else on the menu. We were in a group of 4, with one of us having spent 6 months in Japan recently so it helped to have his expertise in ordering. Parking was plentiful and service was excellent. They were able to accommodate most things for my gluten free preference wife. With the yakitori sauce having some gluten they just prepared it with no sauce and a bit of salt only - still delicious. Can’t wait to go back!"
