Kagura - El Segundo


Go for Gozen, the Gindara Gozen, to be exact. 

The grilled black cod is sweet, sweet butter in saikyo miso. It's all sugar, no spice, and everything nice. You'll want to order more from the myriad menu, but this combo alone is almost enough to share.


The fish is filling, full of flavor and fulfilling, but you can equally enjoy your side of katsu pork if it's heavy protein that you're feeling. The panko is crisp, with breadcrumbs that keep their crunch even in the back of your Doordasher's car. You also get golden tempura with all the good veggies; my favorite squash and sweet potato, a bit of broccoli, and they even throw in a juicy shrimp. 


There's a bit of soba to curb a carb craving, though they make a decent Curry Udon as well. The chunks of chicken are juicy dark meat, and the curry is a bit surprising, dark but tasting light, finishing a little sweet and not so spicy. The wheat noodles are more hearty and earthy like the soba, and although it's not my favorite, I have nothing to say against it.


Spring for the Chicken Sand if you're a sando fan...or if you're married to one in my case. A white chicken breast and crustless white bread sandwich a light brown breading. Tonkotsu sauce soaks every surface, and it gets better with every bite. 


They have sushi too, if you're somehow still hungry. A Dragon Roll is topped with fall-apart fresh water eel, and the Blue Crab Roll is real sweet crab. There's a few slices of fresh sashimi from the gozen as well.

I may have over-ordered again, but it was so good we ate it all. Yes, two people ate an entire set meal with multiple courses big enough to two, two sushi rolls, a sandwich, AND a bowl of udon. Fantastic food and not a single thing I didn't like. I can confidently say they do a fantastic job with everything on their menu now...because I've pretty much tried the entire menu. And it was AWESOME!
