    King bowl steak/chicken with spicy noodles/veggies.
    Andrew C.

    This place gets 5 stars. Overall fantastic experience. The employees were welcoming and the dinning area was clean. I ordered the king bowl with steak/chicken and spicy noodles/veggies and it was delicious.

    Unseasoned food, if you notice any seasoning it's because I added it to make it edible....

    This is my first ever review. Ordered takeout today.... Worst Hibachi I have ever had in my life. Absolutely no flavor to anything. It is like they forgot to use any seasoning.... The vegetables were definitely steamed not grilled, and once again no seasoning or sauce or teriyaki or anything. Most bland food I have ever eaten. 0/10 do not recommend. I will eat a microwave meal over this place next time. All these 5 star reviews cannot be real...... fried rice was ok....

    Food & service were amazing! Good portions too. The whole staff was friendly & our waitress Danna was extremely pleasant & went above and beyond! We did have to correct a couple things but they all dealt with it quickly, professionally, & kindly. Highly recommend & will be back! Thanks again Danna :)

    Was ok . Rice had crunchy pcs in it , steak was ok . Hibachi spots usually ask how you want your steak cooked. Not here .

    First impression. Quiet at 11:54 am, super clean. Staff is very helpful in explaining all the options. I got two items and the flavors are basically the same. Beef burrito and the Beef yakisoba - came with fried rice. The flavors are there but they are just not flavorful enough for my palette. Seems a bit light on the tongue. It's definitely edible food. For the price on some of the items I'm not sure if it's worth the portions of meat. They give you plenty of rice and noodles. The food is not greasy which is a great thing. I can say it's a 3 out of 5 stars. It's probably a great option if you need a cleaner place to eat especially if you're on a specific diet and for fitness enthusiasts. I may give it a try again soon. It's a good option for me if I am in a specific diet. Give it a try for something new.

    I had El Cinco hibachi for lunch. Called in the order. The food was delicious again and reasonably priced. The decor inside is adorable.

    Hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time! The Spicy Chicken Rice & Noodles at El Chingon is absolute fire (in the best way possible). Perfectly cooked noodles tossed with tender, juicy chicken that's coated in this addictive spicy sauce that hits all the right spots - bold, garlicky, a little smoky, and just the right amount of heat that keeps you going back for more. The portion is massive, the flavors are insanely balanced, and that little kick lingers in the most satisfying way. I'm already craving it again. If you love bold, spicy, comforting food that punches you in the taste buds and leaves you happy, this dish is a MUST. El Chingon has a new regular in me!

    We had not had the opportunity to visit this relatively new restaurant but had heard good things about it. My wife had the vegetarian plate w/tofu & I had the chicken yakasoba which was great. Not many places serve this dish but their version was spot on! The service was more than polite and they knew their food. The decor is simple but clean. They did appear to have a good to go business. Will definitely return.

    King bowl with shrimp, chicken, veggies, and fried rice.
    Tommy T.

    Food was great! Ordered several king bowls and they give good portions for the price. The vegetables were made crispy to my liking... Ordered via the Toast App, which made it for easy pickup. Would nice to get extra sauce. Service was good. Inside looked like it had ample space for large groups.

    We live down the street and thought we'd check out this place, and I have to say, it was a hit! The service was so friendly and they answered all our questions about the menu. The food was absolutely delicious, and we're already planning to come back. It's a fantastic spot for lunch or dinner. You should definitely give it a try! The wings are so delicious as well, forgot to take a picture but super crispy.

    Chicken, steak, and shrimp with fried rice and veggies and noodles. Big portions.

    I'm glad my brother found this food spot after the gym. The serving we got fed both of us and we had leftovers. The restaurant was clean and the service with quick and kind. He answered all our questions and was honest about the serving size. It is located in a warehouse area off of the freeway going towards Temescal Valley. Delicious flavor and I love that they have fit bowls for after the gym or on the go meals when I'm tired of waba or flame broiler.

    I'd been looking forward to trying this place and finally got the chance. The staff was friendly, but not very helpful even after I mentioned it was my first time here. I ordered a bowl with steamed rice, noodles, and shrimp, along with a drink. The noodles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the rice and shrimp were good--though I wish there had been more shrimp. Overall, it felt a little pricey for what we got. I'll probably have to check out some of the other menu options before deciding if I'd come back.

    Menu and yummy food
    Lisa M.

    Was riding down Temecal Canyon Rd to Toms Farms and noticed HIBACHI signs. Wow! We need this! Timescale Valley needs this! We xhecked out the online menu and pix. Read both google and Yelp reviews. I have to tell you, this place deserves 5 syats! Especially when we were juat orderingbt To Go. What a great find. Apparently it's been here for 2 months. We ordered the Tokio Street burrito with Shrimp. This was delish my hubby said. I ordered Hibachi King Bowl w/ Shrimp and Chicken. I also ordered hibachi veggies on side. Wow was this a lot of food. It could of fed 4 people easily. It was delish, felt healthy and quick. The restaurant was super clean, the employees were very helpful and nice. They have grat sauces. Some came with a meal and I ordered more. They are very helpful to accommodate. The only thing I might ask them to reconsider is theory unchanged for theor hibachi grilled veggies. They really are that good but please give me twice the amount if they cost $5.00. Or add them as an add on with a meal for $2.75 They were building a patio area outside. So there will be that too, when it it cooler out. Friends, give them some orders and eat here! Totally worth it. Oh and order accordingly 2 means 4 people! Yay! Fortune cookies were the best

    This follow-up review is long overdue. I feel the need to stir up some Yelpy interest or we are…read moregoing to lose this (hate to call it this, but it's true) great, hidden gem of a sushi place. Oh no! They have an impressive menu, very diverse. I like that you can order either large sushi rolls, or the smaller, Happy Hour, 5 pc. size so you can try more and not hate yourself as much when you waddle out the door. The rolls are beautifully made, made with very fresh ingredients, the ratio of rice to filling is perfect (i.e. not too much rice), and the rice is nicely flavored. Their tempura has great flavor, the poke salad is outstanding, the miso soup is rich, not watered down, but the biggest "prize" IMHO is the fish collar (kama), either salmon or hamachi. Here is where you separate the men from the boys. They do not sell old kama that has come from a food supplier's bag, frozen. They only use fresh, the same quality as their sushi, because it comes from the same whole fish they have selected to filet for sushi. Taste it and you know you have hit the jackpot. Before they broil it, they simply slather Japanese mayo on it and salt & pepper. There is something about the mayo that makes it sing a whole new tune. The kama is moist, tender, and comes with their tasty, house ponzu sauce. It's a real treat. Bonus points for being very reasonably priced relative to other sushi houses and they tend to be larger as well. To take advantage of the Happy Hour menu, it is available every day of the week. Monday through Thursday until 7pm, Friday through Sunday until 5 pm. It's an abbreviated menu but has great choices, fairly priced. Their service is tops, seating is limited (probably not more than 40), the interior is warm and quaint, and parking is no problem. And don't forget to respond to their friendly farewell with a duplicate, heartfelt "See you tomorrow" as you leave! Enjoy!

    I stopped in to get rice as a to go order. I wanted spicy chicken fried she said she does Cajun…read more Do not get Cajun. I get home there was barely any rice in the container didn't even hit the top of the bottom half. For over 20.00 I would expect more. Just tasted like salt no veggies just small pieces of chicken didn't see egg. Guess the reviews are on their sushi. Won't ever get rice again my husband threw it in the trash. First time there because we heard good things not our experience.

Once you step in you are greeted by the host, who offers you a VIP loyalty card which is free to sign up for (if you visit their restaurant and spend a certain amount, you get a discount on future dining). The interior of the restaurant is modern and elevated, it is a great place to take a date, or dine with a group of 4-6 people. What we ordered: Pink whisper drink 7/10- light & refreshing Ankimo 9/10- fresh &creamy Chilean sea bass 8/10- I like to try CSB at every restaurant I visit that has it on the menu. Their seabass is good, but I've had better. Truffle udon 7/10- creamy & udon cooked al dente (just how I like it). Sashimi deluxe platter 10/10: my boyfriend and I had not seen any photos of the sashimi deluxe pot that we ordered, so as soon as the server brought it out, our eyes widened and jaws dropped. First of all, the platter was absolutely beautiful , there was dry ice that was cascading out of the bamboo fixture, like a waterfall, over the bed of ice, and pieces of the sashimi weee decorated with fresh wasabi and 18K gold. Our server gave us a presentation, so that we knew what we were eating, and once we picked up the first piece of sashimi with our chopsticks and ingested it, it was LOVE at FIRST BITE! Although most of the items were tried were good. The Sashimi was the definite star for us. My boyfriend and I agreed that our main focus to order on our next visit is the sashimi. Tenmaya has become my favorite Sashimi restaurant in town!
