Ladybug Café — Restaurant in Gardena

On Saturday, we were a group of 16 and the restaurant was able to seat us all in two tables side by side. A long table with a round 4 person table at one end. The staff was VERY helpful in doing this for us. We had a 10 am reservation which I think made it much easier for them to serve our group. The noise level was medium high but not too high. The food was FANTASTIC. I had the Pork and Butterfish Lau Lau. SO TASTY!! Tender tasty pork, tender tasty fish wrapped in edible taro leaf. Taro leaf here at Ladybug has a wonderful a nutty earthy taste that's similar to artichoke. Very flavorful. Other restaurants serve lau lau wrapped in taro leaves but they do not taste as good as here! The filling is moist with a perfect balance of pork, fish, smoke, salt flavors. It comes with lomi salmon which is very salty but that's what it's made of, salt cured salmon. I take mine home add lots of fresh chopped herbs like mint leaves or cilantro, which balances the salt and makes it into an irresistibly great dish! Ladybug Fried Chicken, Misoyaki Butterfish, Kalbi Short Ribs, were all excellent. ALL portions are HUGH. Tara butterfish misoyaki is MUST ORDER. Thank you Ladybug Café. Everything so...

If you're looking for some seriously good Hawaiian food in Gardena, you HAVE to check out Ladybug Cafe. We've been going there for a while now, and it's become a family favorite. Honestly, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they've got something delicious for everyone.

My 7-year-old son is a creature of habit, and he's absolutely obsessed with their breakfast - anytime of day! He's a big fan of the classic bacon, eggs, and pancake combo, and they always cook it just the way he likes it. It's a lifesaver when you have a picky eater!

Me? I can't resist their two-item combo. The chicken teriyaki is so flavorful and tender, and the fried chicken is crispy and juicy - the perfect comfort food combo. Plus, the portions are really generous, so you definitely get your money's worth.

Ladybug Cafe has a nice, relaxed atmosphere too. It's a great place to grab a quick bite or sit down for a leisurely meal with the family. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. If you're in the Gardena area and craving some delicious Hawaiian food, definitely give Ladybug Cafe a try - you won't be...

Terrible service!!! We pre-ordered because we had a large party and the majority of the food didn’t come out until 45 minutes after our reservation and they never even brought out one dish! They served all other tables faster than ours despite our pre-order. When we spoke to Pablo (the owner) he didn’t take any responsibility and simply blamed the poor service on the fact that we had a smaller group than originally planned. It shouldn’t matter what size group you have, the service should still be treated fairly. He had no explanation when I questioned why a pre-order would be served later than walk ins. Had he simply apologized for the slow service, we would’ve moved on. Unfortunately the way he was blaming us for the entire situation was absolutely ridiculous. We used to come often to this restaurant with parties as large as 20 and they have now lost our loyalty for such poor...
