Crappiest dealer ever.  I am a huge fan of Toyota, and my family has been a loyal customer for many years.  However, this dealer has no class to promote good service.  Based on my experience with this one sales guy...  A bitter car buying experiece really makes me sad...

Typical sales person at this dealer:
- Does not listen to you
- Calls him self manager
- No concern for you after waiting hours for the paper work
- Tries to categorize customer by calling them "you are smart".
- Does not know what rival vehicles are out there
- Gives me only one alarm key
- No follow up or explanation of the vehicle before leaving lot.
- Sales pitch was they will fill up the gas tank before I leave the lot with the car...

Other dealer like Claremont Toyota, Power Toyota in Irvine, Torrance Toyota on PCH are so much better.  Don't waste your time going here.

Otafuku Noodle House

I love this underground noodle shop.
You gotta try the homemade seiro soba noodles.  

This place is quite hidden from the street so you gotta come in from the back door.  If you're not familiar with Gardena area then it might be a tough one to find.  I like that hidden restaurant style.

I also like this place because it is simple and they don't over do things to impress.  Good soba is all you need in these kind of place.

Super Udon - CLOSED 

Category: Japanese

3 star rating

The udon's taste here resenbles the ones offered in the train stations in Japan, where you have to stand and eat.
If you like that Japanese fast food taste then here you go, this is the place.

Obviously, the taste won't be good as other udon noodle specialty restaurant, but you come here to get that quick J-food.  I like that especially when I want a quick meal, but don't want that greesy hamburger stuff.

I like that dude behind the cash register.  He is pretty nice.  Usually dudes working in these kind of place are rude, but this place knows whats up at least.

The bread, and other stuff is awesome.  Must go for the sandwiche, bread, etc.

However, don't expect a good service here...  I would have give bread bar five stars if they had better service.

This place is pretty cool.  Seems like a lot of Manhattan Beach locals come here to get some sandwiches, salads, coffee, etc.

I got my self a Grilled Rosemary Chicken Breast, and it was pretty good.  The store was clean and the service was okay.

I would definitely come back because the food was great, and it seems like it will be healthy eating here.

I agree that I will regret too if I don't share this place with all of you.
This tiny ass place, first I thought it was Korean own place which I would pass by when I go to the pier.  Until my friend invited me here, then I realized this place was own by Japanese.

What makes so Japanese own restaurant so special?  becase only 10% of 2000-2500 Japanese restaurant in Cali is owned by Nikkei peoeple.

Anyways...  Yes this place serve fresh stuff.  Enough said by other comments, but I have to say their ramen is freaking awesome as well.  Try the deserts, awesome way to end your dinner session here.

I ordered crab, and it was soo good.  I ordered chicken, and it was damn good.  Don't get scare of the appearance from the outside like I did initially.

I want to give this place 3.5 stars, but the yelp interface doesn't allow me to.  The service was good, and the atmosphere was nice, too.

Considering the price and the quality of BBQ they serve, I would have to give it 3 stars.  The meet was ok, but not too bad to complain.  I guess the sausage was a bit too salty.

I would come back with my friends because I like this place's atmosphere and service.

I would like to give this place 4 stars.
Pizza was great.  Good old NY pizza taste was in the slice that I got.
The owner was there with that NY style attitude as well.  

Good pizza is good pizza, nothing more to describe.  
I'll definitely come back or try the other store they got in Torrance.
I rather invest my time to come here and order, and not call Dominoz or something.

This place is awesome.  Homemade soba and udon style Japanese noodle shop.  Very small place, but it does it job well in serving great soup and noodle.   The soup is not too salty and the noodle is done just write.  The price is great, too!!

Shaab Restaurant  

Category: Japanese

5 star rating

I love this place.  I like the attitude of the main chef standing behind the sushi counter.  He is one of those authentic hard headed Japanese chef.

Thier teba-shio (chicken wing) is good stuff.  Try it out.  
Their shabu shabu is pretty good, but pretty much other specialty dishes are great as well.  

Sushi is done right here and the price is not that bad for the fresh sashimi.  

One of those places where you keep on repeating going to eat.
