I've been curious for a while. A head chef from Venice legend Chaya defects for Japanese fusion in Gardena must be a headliner, and I must try the dishes that come from those hands.
I'm starting with a Salad, though this seared ahi may not be the most fresh. Lovely mixed greens, a perky soy ginger dressing, this menu seems set for success.
And what's not to like? Japanese and American and Japanese-American staples, this Fried Chicken Breast and Curry can do no wrong. The breading layer is thick so the crunch is real against a confident curry (not shown, obv).
Penne Bolognese is rich and tomato-smooth with meat and little button mushrooms, and I just dig this savory sauce.
Less successful is the Mentai Butter Spaghetti, with not much butter and a distinctly fishy taste from the roe and rubbery squid. Would not get this again.
Overall, a great success. Satisfying meals and a solid rendition of so many staples. Next time I need a lovely lunch and a nice dinner, I'd definitely consider N Cafe.
