    When I made the reservation, I stated the dinner was a birthday celebration for my girlfriend. I do not appreciate the 0 acknowledgement of this. Food was alright, server seemed fed up when we asked for sauces for our sushi. Usually love this place, but did not have a great experience this time. Disappointed.

    Japonica in El Segundo came in clutch for a quick & delicious dinner while waiting for a friend to arrive at LAX! Rather than wait at the cellphone lot, we headed here for yummy beef tan tan ramen ($18), shrimp crunch roll ($12), fried chicken ($13) & their popular Kyoto Kryptonite sushi ($16)! Tight parking, busy resto but delicious eats!

    This is our second visit to Japonica. We first tried Redondo Beach and decided to try El Segundo as well. The food is exceptional, and the atmosphere is comfortable. Thank you for making our date night memorable

    The happy hour choices were great. Particularly loved the Brussels sprouts and the Bumblebee roll. Service was friendly and efficient and enjoyed the overall relaxed atmosphere.
