Otafuku@Gardena ★★★

Favorite Japanese Comfort Food. Great homemade Soba. Signature Seiro White Soba uses 70% polished buckwheat & 30% flour. My favorite add-on is Tororo. Remember to ask for Sobayu when you are about to finish your soba if not given. After finishing the soba/ udon, dilute the sauce with healthy sobayu to drink. Dinner menu has more items. Non-refillable buckwheat hot tea $2. Feels kind of oily & stuffy from the open kitchen. Call in for reservations.
