Otafuku is an authentic and high-quality Japanese restaurant that specializes in soba noodles. Every dish is delicious, with flavors that transport you straight from Japan to the South Bay. The sashimi is incredibly fresh and practically melts in your mouth. I have only positive things to say about Otafuku—everything from the taste to the service, pricing, and portion sizes is exceptional. It's no wonder they've become a beloved staple in the community. You know it's the real deal when you arrive 30 minutes before opening and find groups of elderly Japanese patrons already waiting outside. The only downside is the small parking lot in the back. Expect to spend around $60 per person and leave...
Otafuku in Gardena offers the best soba I’ve had outside of Japan. The food is authentic and delicious, capturing the true essence of Japanese cuisine. The service is friendly and efficient, making the dining experience enjoyable. The ambiance is cozy and traditional, perfect for a relaxing meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-notch soba! Parking: Tight parking lot in the back.
Had such a delicious dinner here. We knew they were known for their soba and tempura and we enjoyed these for sure, but I can’t stop thinking about the Berkshire pork rice dish! The atmosphere was cozy and the service was so friendly. Also thought the prices were reasonable for the quality and portions. I’m looking forward to going back! Parking: Limited free parking lot in the back
We love Otafuku! Had the Conger eel x veggie tempura with hot udon you’d be hard pressed to find a better bowl of noodles anywhere in LA! The atmosphere is great and the service is best in class. Katsudon is also excellent. We will be back to try more and enjoy the great food, service space!

Delicious and fresh! Such amazing broth and tender noodles. The best tempura and shrimp we’ve had outside of Japan so juicy. Amazing dinner it can get a little loud inside, but the food makes you not care.
The service was terrible, so I left a minimal cash tip. However, I just checked my credit card statement and noticed they added an additional tip to the bill without my consent!
I ordered a set of soba and kakiage! It was delicious ? The horsetail was refreshing and I recommend it ?
I like just about everything. However, I think the salt in the grilled food is a bit too much.

Dropped by Otafuku right after we landed! The handmade soba was so good, long with the udon!
The seasonal sudachi soba was absolutely fantastic! It's ideal for summer.
