What people say
Japanese Izakaya Akatsuki on S Western Avenue in Gardena is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Japanese cuisine. The restaurant specializes in daily made fresh noodle Udon & Soba by the owner, which is a treat for all noodle lovers. However, what sets this place apart is their Japanese style Izakaya served during dinner time.
One of the most popular dishes at Japanese Izakaya Akatsuki is their UFO GYOZA. This dish has become so popular that they have now introduced a large size to cater to the demand. The gyoza is crispy, crunchy, juicy, and delicious - making it an absolute delight to eat and photograph. It's perfect for sharing with friends and family or enjoying by yourself.
The restaurant also offers private rooms and a banquet room that are perfect for hosting parties, celebrations, or corporate events. You can make reservations through their website or phone call. They do add an 18% service charge if the party is more than six guests, but it's worth it for the privacy and exclusivity of having your own space.
If you're lucky enough to visit during their limited-time weekend menu, be sure to try their beef cutlet with sesame miso sauce. It's a mouth-watering dish that will leave you wanting more.
Overall, Japanese Izakaya Akatsuki is a fantastic restaurant that offers delicious food and excellent service. Whether you're in the mood for noodles or want to try some authentic Japanese appetizers with sake or beer, this place has got you covered!
