Akane Chaya - Gardena

A very classy yet casual Japanese meets Italian cuisine.Love the ambiance with jazzy music definitely helps with the mood especially after a long day at work.Sadly they were out of the ハンバーグ but do't worry, I want to try their classic omu rice with demiglace sauce and it hits every point in my palate. Service was fast and attentive as well which is the cherry on top.Definitely will comeback for the hamburger steak!

Really enjoyed my time here.Went to Akane Chaya solo because the hamburg steak tempted me. Despite its location being right next to a large parking lot Akane Chaya took care to not let that be distracting from the atmosphere and food by using curtains. The vibes are very relaxing and homey and on the quieter side, playing soft cafe jazz and having warm yellow lighting. The service was very considerate and making sure that you were enjoying yourself and that everything is good on your end. This is one of those locations where you should sit back, relax enjoy yourself and simmer in the atmosphere as the food takes a little bit to make. But the wait is all the worthwhile because the food is delicious; the greens were fresh and crisp, the hamburg steak was tender but didn't fall apart and the pork cutlet was delicious, with the demi-glaze sauce tying everything in together really well. Overall this trip was really enjoyable and made me enjoy my time here, despite eating solo. <3

This is a great place to remember the taste of Japan!The menu is rich and the taste is delicious.I ordered a special combo for lunch, but the amount of pasta and curry is large and you will definitely be satisfied.I will add this restaurant to my favorite places!

It was so delicious ? Had super combo, Tarako spaghetti with hamburg and curry rice. $25ish. Great deal. Comes with salad and soup. I think early bird (before 1200) gets free drink??Food: 5/5
