Akane Chaya

my cousin introduced my wife and i to this place many years ago and we've been making trips out to Gardena ever since to give ourselves an excuse to get food here. i always get either the Super Combo A or C (Japanese Hamburger Steak or Pork Cutlet, Japanese Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, and a plate of Curry). My wife usually gets the seafood pasta both of us however, always always always get dessert! their Parfait are just amazing and always such a treat (we love both the Strawberry and Pudding Parfait, and also very much enjoy getting the pudding ala mode) the staff have always been friendly, courteous, and attentive and the food always substantive and delicious. if you ever find yourself nearby and hungry i can't recommend checking this establishment out enough!

Today I tried Akane Chaya Salmon Scallop Spinach Cream Spaghetti Pasta which is really good and I like it a lot!! This is a good place for either Pasta, Curry, Rice Pilaf, or there Speciality which has a lot or variety. So the Menu that has Red Words means it is there Popular Meal!! So I recommend going to this place for a Japanese Pasta and other food variety for lunch or dinner!!

Old school comfort Japanese restaurant! I hadn't visited in 30 years, and today had a great lunch here. It's kinda like time traveling coming to this restaurant. Still same owner slapping, massaging preparing my hamburg steak in the kitchen. Food is not fancy and I think it's intended to be wholesome and familiar. Not too many things changed here, and for the better! On the wall is an aged sign that reads: "No Checks accepted." I highly recommend this restaurant. It's worth traveling to visit if you are in to old school westernized japanese cousine. Iced coffee and iced tea was also very japanese!

The best Italian (Japanese) (or Japanese Italian fusion if you like) in SoCal. Everything is good, the combos are too much food at a great price, the iced coffee and banana juice are refreshing, and, the staff is friendly and helpful. They also have one of the best Hamburg steaks in the USA. Expect a little bit of a wait at most times, but it's always worth it.
