los angeles - gardena: shin sen gumi yakitori

tommy gets sticky at shin sen gumi takitori in gardena...


kakuni: braised pork belly


chicken meatball, chicken thigh with green onions and house sauce, asparagus wrapped in pork belly, shiso leaf wrapped in pork belly


fried sweet potato


cream crab croquette


chicken liver


sliced mountain yam


remnants of the yellow tail

tommy says: the fried sweet potato was amazing! perfectly crisp on the outside, and unbelievably sweet and fluffy on the inside. kakuni wasn't as tender as it should've been, but had good flavor. chicken meatball was the best of the skewers. cream crab croquette was very tasty. sliced mountain yam was not what was expected and had a slimy sauce -- will be avoided in the future. the staff is incredibly friendly. all in all a yummy experience!
