Mr. Wasabi Sushi in Gardena

Last Saturday we couldn't decide what to eat for lunch and we ended up here at Mr. Wasabi Sushi on Western Ave in Gardena. Hubby said he used to visit for lunch during his office hour but due to it being slow, they had not been visiting for quite a while. Since this time was weekend the restaurant wasn't that busy. There were only 2 tables taken when we enter the restaurant.

Parking is available at the back of the restaurant as well as street parking. The restaurant is a stand alone property with it's own parking lot behind it. It is located between Marine Ave and Redondo Beach Blvd on Western Ave.

There are not much decor outside the restaurant but inside it is very cosy. There was only 1 lady server serving us. I also saw a man behind the sushi bar, probably the sushi chef.

Since it was a weekend, there's no weekday lunch special available. My Hubby ordered a two choice combo Bento Combination at dinner price (see picture below). He asked for the Crunch Rolls (see picture) and Beef Teriyaki. I ordered a Salmon Teriyaki Plate (see picture) to share with my son. The plate and Bento Combo comes with rice, salad, a pc of gyosa, a tempura cucumber and a slice of orange.

After we placed our order, the server returned with the miniature appertizer plates (kim chi/Korean style). We were served with hot tea too but she didn't refill them after we were finished. Probably she was too busy.

Food was good, but service was so so. After we asked for our check/bill, the server also gave us a scoop of sherbet ice cream. The ice cream was too cold and hard to eat. I had a hard time scrapping it down.

Not sure if we will go back another time. Prices are reasonable for weekday lunch menu. Even my Salmon Teriyaki Plate which was at $6.75 wasn't that expensive either.
