Yoshinoya - Gardena

I had an incredible meal that was surprisingly budget-friendly. There's something about the beef that's absolutely delicious. The vegetables are cooked perfectly, maintaining just the right amount of crunch and freshness. Plus, all the dishes are fully customizable, offering options like skinless chicken and extra sauces.

I can't stop visiting Yoshinoya for their beef bowls. They've recently added BBQ pork to the menu, and it's just as tasty. Be sure to try the clam chowder—it's absolutely essential!

I just moved back to Los Angeles after being away since 1992, and I’m glad to see that this place is still around—though it has a new name: Yoshinoya Kitchen instead of Beef Bowl. The food is just as delicious as I remember, and the staff at the counter are great. My first visit to this location dates back to at least 1978, when I worked at the Gemco Membership store that used to be where the Target is now, just a couple of blocks to the west.

I've been frequenting this particular Yoshinoya for as long as I can recall. Although I've had a few order mix-ups over the years, it hasn't diminished my enjoyment of the food. I keep returning! The service is consistently friendly, and the wait times are reasonably short (though perhaps I find ways to keep myself entertained). I always leave wishing I could have more. The staff really puts in a great effort, even offering extra packets of soy sauce and chili flakes.
