JAPAN via Eat the World Los Angeles) No matter how out of style udon can be, the noodle love of Kagawa Prefecture is front and center at one of Gardena's longest running favorites. The bento $17.95) comes with so much to eat, with compartments of tuna sashimi, chicken karaage, grilled mackerel, pieces of tempura and Japanese root vegetables. A small but filling bowl of tanuki udon, rice, and tempura dipping sauce join the party. While Kotohira is not the place you come for these individual things, altogether the bento is terrific value especially with such a strong bowl of udon. This much good food for less than $20 is not something you find much around town these days.
Solid udon spot with great Japanese dishes. Enjoyed the appetizers as well such as the agedashi tofu and takoyaki. We had the salmon and udon set as well as the katsudon and udon set. All of it was great and prices were reasonable for the quality and amount of food. The service was very friendly and came out at great times throughout the service. Place had a good spacing for seating. We ate around 2pm so we had basically the place to ourselves. Definitely worth making it out here.
This restaurant offers delicious food with generous portion sizes. It's a cozy spot, so it tends to get quite busy. I ordered the sukiyaki don, while my brother opted for the beef curry set, which came with udon soup. Most of their dishes are served with udon. The service was good, even though there was only one person working during my visit; she managed everything like a pro.
Def one of my fave Japanese spots when I’m in the mood for something homemade, filling and delicious. You can’t beat the price for the amount of food you get. My favorite item on the menu is the Saba Set.

I definitely recommend this place. Everything we tried was excellent. Prices are on the lower side which is great. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is cozy.
It was the first time I came in but I really liked the place, the food was good and they were very friendly and it is very quiet
The owner is very friendly and the price is great. Potato salad is served as an aperitif, and it is also delicious.

The best bento I’ve had in SoCal. Drove 45min for the food, would do it again.
Very delicious udon and tempura. Nice, calming vibes and atmosphere for lunch.
