Fukuno - Gardena

One of the delicious Japanese restaurants that has been around for a long time. This is a restaurant run by the owner and his wife. The general doesn't talk much, so he looks scary at first glance, but when you talk to him, he's really nice. The wife serves it cutely on the floor. Of course we guarantee the taste. There are also authentic Japanese items on the menu, so you can go back to Japan after eating them. Please use it once. Parking: There is a Japanese cake shop, a Korean izakaya, and a barber shop in a small mall. Depending on the time of day, you may not be able to park in front of the store. but it's okay. There's more space. Don't worry.

The food was decent, but the portion sizes were small and the prices seemed a bit high. Overall, it’s not a place I would recommend for children.

A small family run izakaya tucked into the far end corner of a strip of restaurants. Easy to overlook if one drives by too quickly. Run by an older couple, it has a very cosy atmosphere with authentic izakaya style tapas. The seabream and kohada was very fresh the day we went, the tuna was prepped well. The sashimi was properly cut and everything was exquisitely prepared by the owner chef.

The couple who run the restaurant do an excellent job. The older woman is very attentive, promptly clearing empty dishes to keep the table from getting cluttered. The sushi chef is truly skilled at his craft. The maki rolls and nigiri are traditional, so don't expect to find California rolls or rainbow rolls here. The fresh oysters and chicken yakitori skewers with yuzu kosho are absolutely delicious. For vegetarian options, there are small dishes like sesame blanched spinach, crunchy yuzu daikon, inari sushi, tamago nigiri, and slowly simmered eggplant, among others. As for parking, there is shared parking available in a lot with other businesses.

We ordered the Fukuno Special Nigiri, Fukuno Nigiri, Grilled Oysters, Boiled Sea Bream, and Negitoro. There were so many tempting dishes on the menu that it was tough to choose! Everything was meticulously prepared and absolutely delicious! However, I wasn't a fan of the salmon roe.
