Located in the food court in Gardena Tokyo Central, been getting an order of the Boneless Chicken Thigh Karaage here on the way out after shopping. **Food is made to order so there is a bit of a wait but when you get it its piping hot and crispy and worth it5 stars

Got the A combo. With Shoyu ramen fried chicken and chicken fried rice. I fell in love with this place. And have been back several times since my initial visit. The ramen in the best I have ever had. The fried chicken is the most juiciest ever. My picky 10 year old even loved it. Every time I leave here I leave in a food coma. Completely full and beyond satisfied. The worker’s are always so friendly and polite. It’s a must try.

The shouyu ramen was recommended by the cashier and spicy miso with the side of chili paste to give it a spicier flavor was nice. The broth was excellent on both they gave me chop sticks spoon and forks along with for my baby daughter. If my baby daughter enjoys slurping the broth it says how delicious the broth and ramen was made with alot of love.

I came in with high expectations for the chicken based on what I've heard from reviews, and I was still surprised by how good the karaage was. I got the smallest size to try, and each piece of chicken is massive (I think I even got an extra piece). It's made fresh when you order and extremely hot and crispy. It's not overly greasy at all, but very juicy and flavorful, even if you don't get any sauces. I ordered the 5 piece thigh and the total came out to be a little over 8. *full portion not pictured, I ate 2 pieces before taking a picture

Hands down, the best Japanese fried chicken I have ever had. Especially love the Yagen Nankotsu (cartilage), crispy and crunchy, great spice flavor, not overpowering. I also ordered the boneless thigh and popcorn chicken, both tasted very delicious, the popcorn was little of the peppery side for young kids.

My wife and daughter are gluten sensitive and they serve gluten free karaage and it's absolutely delicious! We are from Colorado and will be back. Thank you so much!

Their karaage is the best hands down. I've had karate all across japan and this is the closest in quality and flavor to those. Pricing is good too.

This place is amazing with one of the best Karaage chicken around. Kiddo had the karaage rice bowl, wifey & I shared a bowl of tonkatsu ramen with the thicker noodles, and a side order of karaage chicken with sriacha mayo. Our order took a very long time and they made our visit worth everything and gave us their potato salad which ended up being a delish surprise for taking a long time. With that being said they have extremely good service.
