Sushi Sonagi@Gardena ★★★

Omakase Made with Love. Features premium fresh fish from Japan with influence of Japan, Korea, and California. Thoughtful and well-balanced meal featuring dry-aged fish. The Dolsot Kegani (Crispy Stone Pot Rice w/ Hokkaido Hairy Crab) was fantastic. Chef Daniel Son (Katsu Sando) is very humble & down-to-earth. His friendly personality and small talks always make the meal extra enjoyable.  Lovely teamwork with his wife Janet. Brought a bottle of Juyondai to enjoy the amazing chef's wonderful meal. Ordered a bottle of Kuheiji Eau du Désir from my favorite Banjo Shuzo. $200 per person. Perfect portions. 8 seats per seating with 2 seating available. Only opens 3 times a week. Reservations via Tock and is always sold out. Green tea is complimentary. Corkage $45 for 720mL bottle. Right next to Torimatsu. Free parking in strip mall.
