Torimatsu@Gardena ★★★

Best Yakitori in Town. Sasami Ponzu (Raw Chicken Breast) is not to be missed. Loved the Stuffed Lotus Root. Highly recommend pairing Yakitori w/ Beer. Soboro (Grated Chicken) Rice is nice to end the meal with. Their fruit sorbet is stuffed inside the fruit. Super cute. Great pricing. Quick & nice service on weekday early evening. The bill came out to be $116.25 + tax. Counter has the best seating. Located right next to Sushi Sonagi. Free parking in lot. I go to Torimatsu, Torihei, Koshiji, and Shin-Sen-Gumi for Yakitori in the area.
