Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori@Gardena ★★

My Go-To Restaurant for Yakitori. Authentic Food and Reasonable Price. Tried their Agedashi Eggplant and loved it. Yakitori quality could be a bit inconsistent, depending on the Yakitori Chef on duty. Don't forget to ask for their cabbage – $1 during lunch and free w/ unlimited refill during dinner. Best to pair the Yakitori with Draft Beer to balance out the heat and dryness. $3 reward for every $50 spent plus $5 birthday reward if you join their loyalty program. Walk in only. Arrive early to write down your name on the list. No wait around 3-5pm on a Saturday or 3pm on a Sunday. Best seating is at the bar, where the food comes out right fresh from the grill to your plate. Hot Tea $1. Free parking in lot.

Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori@Gardena ★★★

My Go-To Restaurant for Yakitori. Authentic Food, Consistent Quality, and Reasonable Price. Everything was great. Best to pair the Yakitori with Draft Beer to balance out the heat and dryness. Walk in only. Arrive early to write down your name on the list. No wait around 5pm on a Saturday or 3pm on a Sunday. Best seating is at the bar, where the food comes out right fresh from the grill to your plate. Hot Tea $1. Free parking in lot.

Pork Belly Mini Hot Put $13 (limited 15 per day, lunch only)

Here are my 3 tips:
1. Ask for the Free Cabbage
Off the menu, but you can request free cabbage salad (unlimited refills) to enjoy with your Yakitori during dinner. ($1 for lunch) It balances your appetite with all the meat. The cabbage is mixed with tasty yuzu ponzu sauce. The catch is that the server sometimes forget about it, so you have to remind them again.

2. Don't Order All at Once
The food comes out pretty quickly. It's a good idea to split into ordering 2 times so that your food won't get stacked up and become cold.

3. The Reward
You can redeem $3 reward with every $50 you spend. Scan the QR code on your receipt to register your credit card and use the same credit card every time. The same reward system can be used at different Shin-Sen-Gumi locations in US.
