Akane Chaya — Restaurant in Gardena

I had ordered takeout from this place for dinner one night and I was thoroughly impressed with the way they packed the food! My concern was the sauce from the pasta was going to mix with the sauce from the hamburger steak, but when I got home and opened up my takeout box, the pasta was in it own foil compartment, separate from the hamburger steak which was also in its own foil compartment! How cool is that!! I just love love love their attention to detail!

Combo B: Hamburger Steak with Chopped Clams and Kinoko Mushroom in a white cream sauce. You get the choice either rice or bread and I went with the rice. I also asked for bread, but they were sold out of the bread! Must be really good! The hamburger steak was a decent size and covered with a demi-glaze sauce, both paired nicely and quite delicious. The Hamburger was not dry at all and flavorful. I was also impressed with the rice served! It was probably one of the best rice I have ever had in the US! I don't know what they do or what kind of rice grains they use, but it was thoroughly cooked and I could still taste each grain! That's perfection!

The pasta was also very delicious! Cream sauce was flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly and not over-done. Clams were not chewy to the point where it's just rubber and actually tender.

The combo also come with a side of potato salad and toss salad with a house dressing. Both delicious. All in all, the food was great! They got the 5 star because of their attention to detail and the flavors of the food! Definitely coming back here!

Service was excellent! Waitress was attentive and actually went to the kitchen to ask the chef how long it would take for my food to be ready. That's dedication to customer service!

Parking is easy to find and location is next to Tea...

Quickie: Great selection of Japanese spaghetti Service is awesome Good ambiance, nice sized dining area I like it better than Spoonhouse

Food: Spaghettis I'd suggest trying: Carbonara Potato and cheese Clam oyster one Italian

This place is bombtastic. Every plate I've had there, down to the basket bread is so good. All of the spaghettis I've listed above are tried and true... great options if you're a first-timer. The hamburger steak plate and the spinach salad are also really, really good if you're not feeling pasta.

Service and Location: Service is great - waiters are nice and food comes out hot and on-time. The lunch prices are a little more bang for your buck but it's not unreasonable at dinner time. I like the dining area... good amount of space so you don't feel cramped but not lonely either. Good for groups or one-on-ones.

Parking: It's located in the Marukai market square so there's a ginormous lot.

Overview: YUM YUM YUM. This is my new favorite Japanese spaghetti hangout in Gardena. Great place to bring the family, friends or a stranger you find...

Went here for dinner on a Friday, we were seated promptly. I chose the "C combination dinner" and was very impressed with how flavorful the entire meal was. My pork cutlet was juicy and perfectly crispy, it was not greasy at all. I was able to easily slice through it with a butter knife. I paired it with the tarako spaghetti, it was very delicious. Next time I would like to try the meat sauce spaghetti and order the "super c combination dinner" since I would like to also try their curry. My dinner included a side salad with a yummy dressing as well as warm, fresh yummy bread rolls. My aunt got their hamburger steak plate and she said it was so moist and flavorful. The onions inside were so tender, it reminded us of meatloaf but better. If you ever pass by this place and wondered about stopping by and giving it a try, please do! We were definitely sleeping on this place even though it was on my list of restaurants to try. You will not regret it, the staff is so friendly and we will be...
