Izakaya "Akatsuki," meaning “dawn” in Japanese, is a family-owned Japanese restaurant in Gardena, California. Our owner specializes in handcrafted Japanese noodles, Udon and Soba.

We serve freshly homemade Udon and Soba for lunch, along with a choice of delicious, fresh Sashimi bowls. In the evening, we transform into a Japanese Izakaya, offering small plate appetizers paired with our signature original cocktails and a wide selection of sake. Hot pots are also available during dinner time.

Whether you’re dining alone or with a group of 20, our private rooms and banquet room can accommodate all your needs. Please come and enjoy our modern, authentic and traditional Japanese menu!

    Check came before one of the dishes we ordered came. When we asked about it they gave us the missing dish which we could tell was sitting out because it was agemochi. Also, they gave me one dish we ordered then took it back five minutes later right when I was going in for my first bite.
