Spoon House - Gardena


Spaghetti never hit the spot so good. I've never been much of a marinara fan, arrabbiata has potential but rarely delivers, and I'm afraid alfredo is dull.


But Asians can make anything exciting, and the Japanese Style Cod Roe and Butter Sauce is spaghetti with a spin. The butter finishes like a deep sea dive, colored pink by cod roe waves. When topped with a smattering of seaweed that sticks, you can taste the breaking surf. The butter sauce has a few variations, and every combination is winning. Make it uniquely uni or let squid steal the show.



The butter sauce is better warm, but the Tuna, Daikon & Lemon Soy Sauce (far back) travels well. This had the potential to taste like a plate of cat food, but Spoon House's skill prevails. The soy sauce smooths out the smell, and the lemon hits a high note, tempering the tuna and refreshing a butter-exhausted palate.


Spoon House can be gotten to go, but it's better-served as a sit-down. The noodles are made-to-order, cooked with assembly-line precision by chefs that know their stuff. Perhaps their most noteworthy accolade is their ability to use texture and flavor to give their food both cohesiveness and depth, a talent often overlooked under the guise of a simple spaghetti.
