Nikuman-Ya UPDATE - Gardena

I still love these big, fluffy bao. The regular pork is sweet and pure, and the seafood bao with its deep fried jumbo shrimp will forever be my favorite. 


Melty Cheese Buns
? What’s not to like? Pork and melty cheese. I like the plain pork better but these have a thinner wrapper if that’s what you prefer. 


Add a Chicken Teriyaki Baowich to my faves. Crispy fried chicken, a fluffy steamed bun instead of bread. Yes, all the yes. 


I love the Crab Fried Rice, personally, but it won’t be the first choice for those who don’t dig the fishier flavors, though this one is more subtle. 


The Stir Fried Yakisoba Noodle is not their best. Not bad as stirfry of carbs, but not enough to make you pause. 


Chicken Wings are a newer offering. Small and not very filling but I love a good crispy wing. Nagoyan is a teriyaki with a dash of white pepper and umamix is wake-up garlic chili soy sauce. 

Mitsuwa gets all the attention but this Tokyo Central food court is formidable. The South Bay’s best bao are joined by family favorite Beard Papa and newcomer Michelin-started Ramen Tao, making up an A-list that’s impossible to argue.
