Gaja: Okonomiyaki in Torrance

This is from back in August of 2007, but Tony, Mike, Luis, Mary, and I decided to try a Japanese okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) restaurant, and the closest one to Los Angeles was in Torrance, called Gaja. After a long drive, we spent about 2 hours eating here. Everyone but me got the okonomiyaki. I got the monjayaki, which is kind of like a watery version of the okonomiyaki. Their menu was enormous. I think there were around 20 pages. The food was was pretty good and it was fun to cook your own okonomiyaki at the table. Of course, to make this at home the ingredients wouldn't cost more than about $5, but the experience was fun.
