Waka Sakura Sushi in Gardena (2nd Floor of Marukai)
When this place started storming the internet a while back, I happened to be at Marukai a week or two later to shop (Tokyo Central). It was a Wednesday. I was there around 5PM and they posted that they had received the max RSVP's that day and had closed the reservation portal. Pretty Impressive. So there i was last night and thought I'd give it a try. I went upstairs, put my info in the computer and it read that the wait was 20 minutes. I brought a book so I was reading when my phone buzz'd that the table was ready. I walked in and to my surprise, a lot of the tables were empty. Maybe they were short staffed last night? I ordered all of the above sushi. It tasted pretty good. It's odd, the whole conveyor belt process. The last time I went to Kura on Sawtelle it was the same kind of thing. There's the bare minimal human contact. It feels like you're eating in a spaceship. You know that Twilight Zone? To Serve Man...? The fish is wonderful. Really well prepared i
