Fukagawa

The tonkatsu is really good.

This a great place for Japanese food. They are never too busy and have a traditional home feeling to the interior. They have childrens books and toys available if you bring kids.

JAPAN ????????
Dispatch from Gardena, South Bay:
When staying in the South Bay city of Gardena, eating some Japanese is a must. The community survived the WWII internment regime and repopulated this area that had seen immigration start back in the 1900's. Today, nondescript and unflashy Japanese restaurants are everywhere here, making it the go-to destination for Japanese-Americans with good, traditional meals available from breakfast to late-night slurps.

Hidden in the back corner of the mostly-Japanese business-occupied Pacific Square Shopping Center, Fukagawa serves four similar bento-style breakfasts in the morning hours and nothing else. At these hours it is very quiet and mostly patronized by Japanese who come alone or in pairs. Until 2014, the US census cited the City of Gardena as the place with the highest percentage of Japanese-Americans in California. A large selection of Japanese alcohols and a happy hour mean this place is crowded with tables of salarymen in the evening.

Friday night got right in no waiting. Food was quick and done to perfection. Go to place for great Japanese food.

One of the best Japanese home style food I've had. Everything is made fresh and the taste is clean and crisp.

They are open during breakfast hours too, which is not too common.
