Furusato Bbq - Gardena

I visited this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon and was seated immediately. The parking lot is quite small, accommodating only about 10 cars. I was lucky to find a spot, but I can see that parking could be an issue during dinner hours or on weekends. At just over $20 for an all-you-can-eat option, it's reasonably priced, which is a plus, but it's important to adjust your expectations accordingly. The experience is in line with the price, and while it may not be extraordinary, if you're choosing this place, you're likely motivated by the affordability, and it definitely delivers on that front.

We had a group of over 20 people, and they accommodated us exceptionally well. The food was rated 4 out of 5.

What I didn't like about my experience was that they included the tip automatically without asking or giving me the option to choose. The staff member was reluctant to remove it when I asked, and he ended up doing so reluctantly. He was trying to charge me more than he should have, claiming it was the law, which isn’t true—only specific circumstances apply. I had planned to leave a tip for the waiter, and I did after all the hassle. I really dislike when places don't inform you about these extra charges in advance.

The place is very clean and you get a good amount of food. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. I've been here twice and just love how the staff always comes to check up on you. Great service ? ? ?Food: 5/5

At any point someone spends money to have a meal at a restaurant, it's assumed you'll be paying for excellent service and great food.Sadly, that's not the case with this restaurant!We had to ask 4 times for additional items and were ignored twice.Then they lowered the heat on the burner... so our food was not able to cook well. Terrible!!I'm extremely disappointed in this restaurant!The service was terrible!The food was mehh... mediocre.The environment seemed pretty sterile... No type of ambiance, just plain white walls...We won't be back here.
