Went to Gottsui off Sawtelle in little Osaka since I have been craving yakisoba. I have mixed reviews of this place. Unfortunately whoever designed this place did not adequately install the doors correctly. Every time the staff would open and close the door a loud crack sound would scare the guest.
Food : the Yakisoba wasn't bad but it wasn't fantastic either.
The mini Ramen was delicious but if not eaten fast it quickly become cold. The broth was savory and the beef was tender. The added ginger brought the dish together.
The sukiyaki was good as well but I'm not a fan of sweet savory combinations. I will take two bites and I'm usually done.
Their signature dish Osonomiyaki..... it tasted like a deconstructed octopus ball you'd get in tokyo with a street vendor. Its not a bad snack but not as a main entree. Its almost like having breakfast with the egg, potato and bacon. This dish is very confusing to say the least. It was not my favorite dish.
I won't be returning unfortunately. Its not bad but not enough for me to return for a second visit.
