Came here on a Monday late afternoon and they had a steady flow of customers coming in after us. Let me start of by saying I wish we had things like this growing up! As a Korean-American, I had a lot of packed lunches from my mom. I wasn't too big of a fan yubu but if we had it like this, I would've been a bigger fan! We were recommended by the owner, Tae (who was super nice and friendly btw!) to order about 2-3 pieces per person, so we ordered 5 in total: 1. Fresh Salmon - 5/5; this was my favorite and one of the most popular menu items. Tasted very clean and light! 3. Spicy Tuna - 4/5 this was an interesting one. I wasn't sure what to expect but it worked. The spicy sauce tasted like buldak sauce with another combination of sauces (maybe sesame seed oil too?). It wasn't like the creamy spicy tuna you get at sushi places but it worked! Def on the spicy side. 6. Myungran Crab - 3/5; (my husband tried this one instead of me) he said he liked it but was hoping for more of the cod roe but he wanted the torched part so he got this instead of #7 which might have had more. He'll probably try that one next time 11. Grilled Spicy Pork - 4.5/5; this was a good flavor and had a good amount of meat! The top is torched so you get a nice fire flavor in each bite. 10. Buldak - 4.5/5; loved the amount of meat and the flavor! This one had a pretty good kick too since there was the buldak sauce mixed in with it. This was also torched at the top which was a nice surprise TL;DR - loved the fresh salmon, spicy pork and buldak (spicy chicken). A little on the pricey side but is very filling and worth it in my opinion. Its great for a full meal or a quick in-between meal snack! Will def be coming again! read more

do NOT miss the turn if ur heading to here from south because u cannot uturn at that street fr. i had to reverse in the middle of the road thats so embarrasing anyways i been seein this over like social media and it looked fireee i got the one w crab and then one with the spicy chicken. now, i dont eat spicy..... so dont ask me why i got the chicken. but believe me when i say this was sooooo spicy like i was crying it was so unbelieveable spicy that i ran out to my car to get my coffee because i was dying. but it was delish!! the crab one was rly good too and BTW there is rice at the bottom. my friend got like tuna and salmon i think? he said it was fire. if u dont like tofu then dont worry its not like all tofu its just tofu skin as a wrapper. would i come back? hell yeah. it was fire and so cute. ive never seen anything like this. very fun sized and small portions = ordering more flavors! win win thank god u can order on the machine bc im so indecisive i think i held up the line. read more

I came here for lunch and I loved it! The service here was great, everyone working there was so nice and friendly. The food was super yummy too. I ordered the fresh salmon, lemon pepper salmon, spicy tuna, and the bulgolgi. All of them were so good but my favorites were definitely the bulgolgi and the lemon pepper salmon. The inside of the business was very nice, clean, and modern. The location is pretty hidden and the parking sucks but the food was worth it. I recommend it for your next lunch and I will be going back! :) read more

It tastes exactly what it looks like! Portion is pretty decent. There aren't too many places to sit but the wait time is long enough a seat should open up while you wait. Depending on what time you get there, it may take time for your food to come out and they may be out of what you want to eat.

Taste is okay, but not a place that I would recommend or come back to. I came here a while back with friends because it was viral on TikTok. That's all it really is though, overhyped on social media. The price is pretty steep at roughly $5 for a piece, this is before tax and tip for a counter-style restaurant that does not have actual servers or expo workers. My friends and I ordered a few different options to try, but they were all just okay. The inaris are mostly just rice, and only the very top layer is the actual protein. The wait time is extremely long for something that I would argue is mostly pre-prepared ahead of time, and just simply needs to be quickly assembled when ordered. We came around mid afternoon and the place did have quite a bit of people, but many things were already sold out which seemed strange for that hour. The parking lot is quite small and hard to find parking. Again, taste is just okay, but nothing to die for or something that I crave or would have to come back for. With inflation, I understand most restaurants having higher prices, but the value is definitely not there when you are mostly paying for rice. I'd skip this place. read more

Came here with my boys for dinner today. New spot that's been catching some chatter and so we decide to try it. I'm so glad we did. So a few of their regular menu items were sold out. Totally understood. We came a little later in the day so that was to be expected. We still tried a pretty big order to get an idea of what they had to offer and man, do they have to offer! Fresh salmon, butter crab, spicy tuna, Myungran crab, grilled bulgogi... this was a fraction of what we ordered and it was all delicious. Service was great, the lady at the front desk was willing to answer any questions we had about the menu and was super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back to this place. read more

Without the rice? You can maybe try asking for the tofu skin, and only fish? But I'm not sure if the sauces with the fish are gluten free.

After some waiting, they start calling out orders and somehow the couple behind me got to the front and took the bag. I thought I had heard the employee say #62, but in all that chaos and loudness, I couldnt confidently say or hear it. Eventually, order #63 came up, but was never claimed for a good 20 minutes. I asked the cashier if they can check on my order #62, and they checked the kitchen. Turns out my hunch was correct, and that the couple behind me took my bag. I didnt make a big deal out of it, and the employee said they will remake my order. After waiting for probably 30 minutes total, they were all they way up to calling orders in the 80s. When they gave me my order #62, the employee gave me 2 free gift cards for the waiting and hassle. Im very glad and appreciative of them for handling it very professionally. Just understanding that both parties make mistakes makes all the difference. It also probably helps when you dont be that one angry Karen customer when mistakes happen. Thank you!

This was my first time at this particular In-N-Out, but I've been to about twenty others and loved every one of them. The Buena Park location was as good as the rest. There was a long line at the drive-thru, but parking was easy and the actual restaurant wasn't that busy. We ordered and had our food within fifteen minutes, probably less time than it would've taken us to get through the drive-thru line. (I have found this to be true at almost every location.) Service was great, as always. In fact, my three-year-old dropped his cheeseburger on the floor after a few bites, and we got it replaced on the house, just like that. The kids also got little In-N-Out sticker activity books to play with, which kept them entertained for minutes at a time. I got my usual order, a double double with grilled onions and a heaping side of whole yellow peppers from the condiment stand. Pure deliciousness. My boys got a grilled cheese and a plain cheeseburger, and they both ate well. We got some fries, too, and while I'm not a particular fan of In-N-Out fries, I ate my fair share of them. We hit the bathrooms on our way out, as we had a long drive ahead of us, and I noticed the bathroom situation was less ample than the typical In-N-Out, maybe because this one wasn't right off the freeway (I do think the restaurant was smaller overall, but this was the only way that mattered for us). Just a couple of single bathrooms instead of the usual stalls, and we did have to wait to use them. In any case, this was an excellent, easy dinner, the perfect way to end a long day in Buena Park. I look forward to my next In-N-Out meal, wherever it might be.

I am super glad that my partner and I finally decided to make the drive there. Between the two of us, we shared four Shrimp Burgers, an order of Shake It Fries, and an order of Shake It Nuggets. For the fries and nuggets, we tried both the cheese and onion seasoning packets. The portion sizes turned out to be bigger than I expected. The standout of the meal was undoubtedly the Shrimp Burger. Each burger was packed with flavor, and the shrimp patty had an especially satisfying, tender texture. The fries and nuggets were also enjoyable, particularly because the seasoning packets allowed us to customize the flavor. Both the cheese and onion seasonings were good, but the onion seasoning was my clear favorite, offering a more savory and aromatic flavor. The fries were nicely crisp with a satisfying crunch, while the nuggets were juicy and tender on the inside. For a fast-food restaurant, the service was impressively quick.

However, when I walked up to the pickup counter, the staff looked confused. Once I showed her my text, she realized that my order was indeed ready. [Menu]: The top two items recommended on Yelp are Shrimp Burger and Bulgogi Burger. *** Bulgogi Burger (grilled onion - $6.49): The burger had a sweet aftertaste but came with a soggy bun like McDonald's. The sauce tasted slightly too overwhelming for my liking. Shrimp Burger ($6.99): A solid burger and the shrimp was fried in the shape of a Filet-O-Fish patty. The portion left something to be desired, but it tasted alright. *** Overall think of this place as having an In-N-Out vibe with a red and yellow color scheme but McDonald's-quality burgers. 3.5-star on Bulgogi and Shrimp Burgers but the buns were a bit soggy and sad. Bump down to 3-star on mediocre service.

This meal was an absolute feast. Before we even ordered, our…read moreserver brought out waters and a bowl of cabbage salad for the table. It's a small gesture, but it immediately made us feel welcomed. We decided to go with one of the combo meals, which came with boneless crispy fried chicken, cheese tteokbokki, and fried potstickers. We also added an order of corn cheese because... how could we not? The chicken lived up to the hype. Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a sauce that had me licking my fingers without shame. The cheese tteokbokki was exactly what I was hoping for. Chewy rice cakes swimming in a rich, spicy, cheesy sauce that kept me coming back for another bite. The corn cheese deserves its own paragraph because wow... I understand why Korean restaurants serve this. Sweet corn covered in gooey melted cheese is one of those dishes that sounds simple but somehow disappears before you realize it. The fried potstickers rounded everything out nicely and added another crispy bite to the meal. And because apparently we hadn't eaten enough, we finished with Dippin' Dots for dessert. It was such a fun way to end the meal and brought back a little childhood nostalgia. Overall, the portions were generous, the food came out hot, and the whole spread looked as good as it tasted. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to whenever the Korean fried chicken craving hits.

The garlic has a little kick to it, while the soy ended up being my favorite. The sauce was savory, slightly sweet, and somehow the wings stayed incredibly crispy even after being coated. Next time I'd love to try the honey soy, and eventually work my way through all of the different flavors. The wings themselves are nice and meaty, so you definitely get your money's worth. We also ordered both the deep-fried gizzard and the stir-fried gizzard. They're completely different dishes, but both were excellent. The stir-fried version comes with jalapeños, garlic, and onions, and it was absolutely delicious. Be warned though--the jalapeños bring some serious heat. If you like spicy food, it's so worth ordering. The deep-fried gizzard was just as good. It comes with a smoky, spicy dipping sauce, but honestly it doesn't even need it because it's flavorful all on its own. My only small complaint is the portion size of the gizzards. They're huge. One order of the deep-fried gizzard is around $24 and could easily be shared by four or five people as an appetizer. For just a couple, I wish they offered a smaller portion at a lower price. After trying the gizzards, I have a feeling the original crispy wings would be delicious even without sauce. That said, the sauces we tried were so flavorful that I'd probably keep ordering them. The soy in particular was outstanding, and I loved that the wings stayed extra crispy from the first bite to the last. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors.

I recently dined at Atoyubu and had a delightful experience. The restaurant offers a diverse menu, and I had the opportunity to try a few of their signature dishes. Here's a breakdown of my meal, along with ratings and additional notes: Fresh Salmon: 5/5 The Fresh Salmon dish at Atoyubu was an absolute delight. The salmon was impeccably fresh and prepared to perfection. Each bite was a burst of flavor, and the seasoning was just right. It's a must-try for any salmon lover, and I would definitely order it again. Spicy Tuna: 3/5 (very spicy) The Spicy Tuna was an interesting experience. It certainly lived up to its name with a considerable kick of spice. While I do enjoy spicy food, this dish might be too intense for some. The quality of the tuna was good, but the overwhelming spiciness overshadowed the other flavors. If you're a spice enthusiast, you'll love it, but if not, be prepared for a fiery experience. Lemon Pepper Salmon: 4/5 The Lemon Pepper Salmon was a pleasant surprise. The combination of zesty lemon and fragrant pepper complemented the salmon wonderfully. It had a nice balance of flavors. This dish is a great option for those who prefer a milder and more citrusy taste. Additional Notes: The ambiance at Atoyubu is cozy and inviting, making it a great place for a relaxed dining experience. The service was prompt and attentive, which added to the overall positive experience. Prices are reasonable, considering the quality of the food and the portion sizes. In summary, Atoyubu offers a diverse menu with some real standouts, like the Fresh Salmon and Lemon Pepper Salmon. The Spicy Tuna is perfect for those seeking an intense spice experience. With a pleasant ambiance and excellent service, I would definitely recommend Atoyubu for a satisfying meal. read more

The Skinny: My recent visit to Atoyubu was a culinary adventure that I won't soon forget.. so delicious in a small package! Environment: The speedy service caught my attention. There was a kiosk to place your own order so no one is rushing you to order and you don't feel pressured to make a quick decision. Despite the indoor seating area being on the cozier side, it was surprisingly clean and well-maintained. This attention to cleanliness added to the overall appeal of the restaurant. Food: Our decision to try a variety of dishes paid off immensely. Ordering a total of 8 items allowed us to explore the restaurant's menu thoroughly. There were only 12 options to choose from, but having tried basically 2/3 of the menu, we got a pretty good tasting of their food. The standout feature of our meal was the exceptional freshness of the fish. It was evident that Atoyubu takes pride in using the finest quality ingredients, and this commitment to excellence shone through in every bite. The perfectly cooked rice in each dish was another feather in Atoyubu's cap. It was soft, with just the right level of texture, and served as an ideal complement to the fish and other ingredients. However, what truly stole the show was the flavorful seasoning. Each dish was a symphony of tastes, with spices and sauces working harmoniously to create a delightful flavor profile. Overall: 5/5 My Atoyubu experience was a culinary delight. The fast service, cleanliness, and consistently delicious food make it a standout choice. If you're looking for a dining spot that combines great service and superb flavors, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Atoyubu a try. It's a hidden gem that deserves more recognition for its dedication to delivering top-notch dining experiences. read more

Atoyobu pleasantly surprised me with its "Korean" onigiri offerings! I recently ordered a variety of onigiri, including the fresh salmon, fresh ginger tuna, and spicy tuna, and I must say, the quality of the fish was top-notch. The fresh salmon had a delightful, melt-in-your-mouth quality, while the fresh ginger tuna offered a unique and refreshing flavor profile. The spicy tuna had a stronger kick than I expected, but was sooo good! It's evident that they use genuinely fresh ingredients, and it makes a significant difference in the taste. One of the standout items for me was the tofu wrap. It was bursting with flavor and paired excellently with the fish and rice. The combination was simply delicious, and I highly recommend trying it. Speaking of the rice, it was cooked to perfection - not too soft, not too hard, just the way I like it. Atoyobu clearly knows how to handle their rice. Now, onto the downside - pricing. The only drawback I could find was that the prices were a bit on the higher side, but it's understandable given the quality of the fresh fish they use. You're paying for that premium freshness. One piece of advice: I would recommend calling ahead to place your order. During my visit around 12 PM on a Tuesday, I had to wait for about 30 minutes to get my order. It's a testament to their popularity, but if you're in a hurry, it's best to plan ahead. Overall, I'm impressed with Atoyobu, and I will definitely be coming back for more. read more

I can't believe I've been missing out on yubu chobap until now. Atoyubu takes it to a whole new level, making it an unforgettable experience. First off, yes, the parking lot is tiny, but once you navigate that, you're in for a culinary treat. These yubus are generously portioned, so bring a friend to help you sample all the amazing varieties. The fresh salmon yubu is a revelation. The salmon is unbelievably fresh, and the sauce infuses the rice with incredible flavor. It's an absolute must-try. Next up, the butter garlic crab yubu. It's decadent and delicious--perfect for anyone who loves the rich combination of butter, garlic, and crab. Trust me, you need to order this. The spicy tuna yubu definitely delivers a punch. It's flavorful and spicy, leaving a lingering kick. I enjoyed it, but next time, I might go for the milder tuna option. The atmosphere is very causal and clean. Atoyubu is a place you need to visit regularly. The innovative take on yubu chobap is unlike anything I've ever had before. This spot is an absolute gem. read more

We got almost every single one of their flavors off of the menu and it was so worth it. We were debating on going to another sushi place and we spent just as much as we would've but this place was so much more filling. I had this for lunch and two snack sessions. I loved how photogenic this spread was and the memorable one had to be the spicy tuna. The cashier said it was really spicy and I underestimated that statement. It was the kind of spicy that stays in your mouth. Otherwise I really liked the crab ones, I think the searing was just perfect. The packaging was also really nice, each yubu had its slot. I really liked their reward system. It said earn 2 points for every $1 spent and unlock $5 off every 50 points but this place was pretty flexible. Each point is actually worth 10 cents and when I went back to order another one at around $5.50, it took away 55 points instead of only 50 points and then making me pay the 50 cents. read more

Atoyubu is an absolute gem in Buena Park! Specializing in fried stuffed tofu (*yubu-cho-bap*), the flavors here are truly on point. The toppings are rich and flavorful, and you can taste the quality in every bite. My personal favorites are the Spicy Pork and Spicy Tuna--both pack an incredible punch. While the price might seem a bit on the higher side, the quality more than justifies it. I typically eat around 4-5 pieces per visit, which comes out to about $25 for a meal. For the freshness and taste, it's definitely worth it. The restaurant is quite small, but I treat it as a quick meal stop. Despite the sometimes long line, the staff is impressively efficient at getting orders out quickly. Parking can get a bit tight, but I've always managed to find a spot, even during peak hours. Overall, Atoyubu is a must-try for anyone looking for a quick, flavorful bite in the Buena Park area! read more

Atoyubu in Buena Park is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for a great meal. You should try to get there early because their menu sells out super fast! The fresh salmon was a standout--delicately sliced and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The spicy tuna was another hit, with just the right amount of heat that didn't overpower the deliciously fresh fish. I also tried the grilled bulgogi, and it was fantastic--perfectly marinated, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The garlic butter crab was also a must-try. The imitation crab paired great with the garlic butter sauce which was rich and decadent, making it impossible to resist. Atoyubu is definitely a must-visit spot in Buena Park if you're ever in the OC. I salivate thinking about returning and can't wait to try out more of their menu! read more

Affordable and Delicious Meal! I had never tried sushi wrapped in bean curd tofu before, so I found the concept intriguing. The tofu pockets were flavorful and filling. From what I recall, each piece cost around $4.50. Two were enough to satisfy me, but if you have a larger appetite, three to four should be sufficient. My personal favorite was the spicy tuna, but we also tried fresh salmon, lemon pepper salmon, and grilled bulgogi. As salmon lovers, we enjoyed the other options as well. However, I found the grilled bulgogi a bit too salty and wouldn't order it again. I was also interested in trying the buldak, but unfortunately, it was sold out--something I'd like to try next time. I appreciated the self-serve setup for utensils, napkins, and water, as it eliminated the need to ask employees. Overall, it was a great dining experience! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Atoyubu in Buena Park, and it was an absolute treat! This spot offers a unique Asian fusion dining experience, focusing on yubu--a popular Korean dish made with tofu wrapped around a variety of fresh ingredients. The menu is a fantastic fusion of flavors, with highlights like fresh salmon, spicy tuna, garlic butter crab, and creamy avocado. Each bite was a burst of deliciousness, with the balance of flavors truly standing out. The quality of the fish was top-notch, and I loved how the garlic butter crab added a rich, savory depth to the dish. The atmosphere was also cozy and inviting, making it a great place for a casual yet elevated meal.

The food was absolutely delicious! I arrived right when the store opened, and there was already a line, which speaks to its popularity. This was my first time visiting, and while it's a bit on the pricier side, it's definitely worth it. The spicy dishes are flavorful and pack a real kick, so be prepared if you're not used to heat! The only downsides were that the store felt a bit cramped, especially while waiting in line, and it's a little hard to find with limited However, none of that takes away from the incredible quality of the food. If you're craving something similar to sushi, I'd highly recommend stopping by. For a satisfying meal, I'd suggest ordering 4-5 items if you're hungry or 3-4 if you're not as hungry. Definitely a spot I'll be revisiting! read more

The restaurant itself is compact but has a decent number of tables and a modern feel. We were greeted by friendly staff and used a self-service monitor to place our order. I wanted to sample a bit of everything to find the best dishes, so we ordered the Salmon, Butter Crab, Citrus Salmon, Eel, and two Bulgogi Tofu Pockets. Everything was flavorful, but my favorites were the Salmon and Bulgogi Tofu Pockets. The other dishes were good but didn't quite hit the mark for me personally.

This place is such a hidden gem! AtoYubu serves rice wrapped in tofu skin, topped with a variety of fresh and flavorful toppings. I tried the crab, eel, and bulgogi--and each one was so good in its own way. The tofu rice wrap has the perfect texture: soft but not mushy, and it pairs beautifully with the toppings. The crab was light and refreshing, the eel was rich and savory, and the bulgogi added a nice, meaty balance.

I drove 30 minutes from Garden Grove just to visit Atoyubu, and it was definitely worth the trip! The creamy orange sauce with imitation crab is absolutely delicious - rich, smooth, and packed with flavor. The tuna is incredibly fresh, which made each bite so satisfying. Been their 5 times and their dishes are consistently high-quality, and I've never been disappointed with the flavors. The only downside, though, is their hours of operation.

I visited Atoyubu after their short closure, excited to see what changes they might have made. I ordered the Spicy Tuna, which was overwhelmingly spicy due to the buldak sauce. The spiciness was so intense that it completely overpowered the taste of the tuna, making it hard to enjoy the primary ingredients. There was an excessive amount of rice and not enough toppings, resulting in a mouthful of rice with very little flavor from the toppings. I hope Atoyubu takes this feedback into consideration and makes adjustments to their portions and spice levels. read more

I was quoted 20 minutes, and got seated within that quoted time frame. The restaurant is brightly lit with robot servers circling the floor. I ordered on an iPad at my table.

There was kimchi, potato salad, bean sprouts, anchovy, kimchi cucumber and fishcake. When the entrees arrived, it was sizzling hot. The bulgogi was on a hot plate and the soft tofu soup was steaming.

The service was quick, and even during rush hour, they still cleaned up the tables and kept the place organized. The short rib is definitely a must try super flavorful and delicious. I also highly recommend the salmon bowl; it was fresh, tasty, and really satisfying. Overall, great food, would come back to try more!!!

we had been looking forward to trying Musubi Square out as we were in SoCal. the musubi tacos are…read moreeverything you would imagine them to be. the crunch is impeccable. and the rice to filling ratio is well balanced. we tried the shrimp, unagi, and calamari ones. the shrimp and calamari are similarly prepared as they are both battered, so even more crunch effect. the calamari has more of a citrusy taste as it has yuzu. but all of them have the unagi sauce drizzle, so in all honestly, they start to taste similar after awhile. but still so yummy! we ordered the three for two people to share and it was just enough. each taco is $9-$12. they do also serve regular spam musubi if you want to go the traditional route. if none of these are your thing, they also have rice bowls which are filling. bulgogi beef, honey garlic pork or unagi plus some others. the restaurant is not very big and seating is very limited. takeout seemed to be a popular option. the owner was very friendly and hospitable and offered to rearrange the tables to accomodate our group's size. definitely adding to the SoCal rotation.

We got the honey pig special for both the pork belly and jowl. It was great to pair with everything on the table and smelled amazing as they cooked it. The cold draft beer was really refreshing actually (words I never thought I'd use to describe alcohol). There's a two meat minimum order, but lots of good options. My only complaint was I found the fried rice at the end to be a little sweet. Maybe next time I'll add cheese, but my best friend loved it so definitely a winner with someone.

Ramen & Tsukemen TAO

Tsukemen Tao is consistent every time I come here. I feel like a lot of the times, especially in…read morerecent, I've been disappointed when I dine out. Restaurant quality just hasn't been the same, but that is not the case here. Over the years their team has continued to offer delicious food and a nice casual dining experience. The store is small and cozy, so not great for parties larger than 4, though I'd really just suggest 2. Great for lunch or a low key dinner, it is one of my go-to for ramen spots. I really love their white miso tsukemen, the thick noodles are slightly chilled and served with a wedge of lime which is a nice way to lighten the very rich broth. I've had their red miso before but its deeper flavor is a bit too powerful for my taste, so for those who like something with more umph, that's a great choice as well.

Have been seeing this spot pop up on a lot of OC ramen lists and decided to try it out. We also had…read morehigh expectations due to their Michelin Bib Gourmands for the past several years. The interior is very small, maybe 16-20 seats total. For food, we ordered the gyoza 2/5, spicy white miso 3.5/5, and spicy red miso 4/5. The gyoza was disappointing since it was reheated and still tasted cold in the middle. Both ramen were filled to the brim with rich, flavorful broth. The white miso broth was slightly less thick and rich than the red miso. The noodles were chewy, and the Tao spice had a nice kick. Unfortunately, there was no AC running so we got pretty hot and uncomfortable during our meal. They also charged us for an extra drink that we didn't order. Sadly, this spot did not live up to expectations and will not return.

In fact, they never even knew the order was placed and attempted to tell me not to show up so quickly after placing an online order. No apologies, not rectifying situations, nothing. So I had to call my mom to let her know what the delay was about. It took another 30 minutes for me to return with food. The soup was spilled everywhere in the bag. The order was incorrect, too. The fried chicken was ok. Mostly bones and batters. Very sweet seasoning. The dumplings were ok. Was it worth the $100 something hassle? Absolutely not. The service in general here could make some improvements. Perhaps better communications or checking for online orders frequently. Maybe have more sense of urgency. Something. I'm sure the food can be and is delicious otherwise. But for the amount of money they charger for the quantity of food one would be receiving, the service must be better as well.

Inside there are 6 little tables and a counter where you order and can see them preparing the food. Staff are friendly; when you arrive you are greeted in Japanese, and they are very accommodating if you need anything. Next to the register there is a small refrigerator with canned and bottled drinks for purchase. They do not offer water cups at all, which I'm fairly certain is required by California state law. This was frustrating, but we managed fine without. I have tried the oyakodon and the pork katsu plate. Both are delicious! The oyakodon has a perfect amount of chicken and egg, and is topped with some veggies that gove a nice flavor. I love the flavor of the onions in this, too. The pork katsu is an easy favorite; I have ordered this at many places but this one has the best sauce! The pork was crispy and flavorful. It included a small side of potato salad and some veggies that included lotus root, edamame, I think sweet potato, a mushroom, and something else I couldn't quite identify. Average meal price is around $16 each, so not too bad. We will definitely be back for other delicious meals!
