Best Authentic Restaurants in San Gabriel

One if my favorite restaurants in LA to go with friends, family, or significant others. Food is delicious, unique, and reasonably priced. Service is always quick and friendly every time I go. It is a little loud when the restaurant is full, however. But I tend to go on busy holidays.

We had our first omakase here and it was very delicious experience. We order the Yawaragi crusine course. Our sushi chef was a lady name Mihoh I believed and she was very skilled and talented. Will definitely come back and try other crusine courses.

We've been to a few spots in the area for Valentine's Day now and this was by far the best. Our server knocked it out of the park, the filet mignon was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the affogato she got made me jealous, which is saying something because the tiramisu I had was perfect. We both left happy.

I would sell my soul for their tuna tostada shout out the waiter for putting us on

If you're craving authentic Japanese food, Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori & Men-Ya in Alhambra is a must-visit! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with an authentic vibe that transports you straight to Japan. I started with their famous Japanese meat skewers—absolutely delicious! The yakitori was perfectly grilled, with just the right amount of char and tenderness. The flavors were spot-on, and each skewer was a delightful burst of savory goodness. Next, I had the ramen. The broth was rich and flavorful, with a great depth that comes from hours of careful preparation. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the toppings (from soft-boiled eggs to tender slices of pork) really elevated the dish. It's easily one of the best ramen bowls I've had. To round out the meal, I enjoyed a glass of cold sake. It was smooth and refreshing, a perfect complement to the meal. Overall, everything was great. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly without sacrificing quality. Whether you're a fan of yakitori or ramen, this place does it right. I’ll definitely be back for more!
