    My husband and I tried KAIDON inside Haven City Market in West Covina last Friday, and it was a great experience! You could tell it's a popular spot by how busy it was, and the food presentation was on point. Here is what we ordered: Negi Shio Yakiniku Bowl ($14.99): "Negi Shio" translates to green onion and salt, and "Yakiniku" means grilled meat. It came seasoned with a savory, sesame oil-based salt sauce and generously topped with minced green onions. The first few bites tasted a bit salty, but once everything mixed in, it was delicious and super flavorful. I loved the thinly sliced beef paired with the fresh scallions. Grilled Filet Mignon Steak Bowl ($23.99): My husband got this bowl, and the portion of tender meat was huge. I tried a few bites and really enjoyed it, though I still preferred my Negi Shio bowl! Mango Smoothie ($6.99): Huge portion size, refreshing, and delicious. Overall, both our tummies left very happy. We'll definitely be back.

    Legendary Yakiniku Mountain Bowl

    Kaidon is a Japanese yakiniku concept located inside Haven City Market, offering a selection of grilled meat bowls. The setup is simple, operating as a takeout-style counter where orders are placed through a self-service kiosk, with ample seating available throughout the food hall. Service was fairly average during our visit, leaving little of an impression. **Legendary Yakiniku Mountain Bowl: 2/5** Unfortunately, the bowl fell short across nearly every component. The meat was noticeably dry and lacked much flavor despite being the centerpiece of the dish, while the tempura enoki mushrooms were missing the expected crispness and tasted stale yet greasy. The fried kale was similarly underwhelming, with a dehydrated texture that failed to enhance the bowl. Even the kimchi tasted fairly generic and reminiscent of something store-bought. Overall, the food was disappointing in both flavor and execution. With so many other options available at Haven City Market, I'd have a hard time choosing Kaidon again.

    Seriously? This is nothing like what they show in the picture. I had to order something else after this. Doesn't taste good either. Yoshinoya can do better than this

    Kaidon is inside Haven. The beef bowl was pretty tender and tasty. Loved that it came with a lot of scallions. The beef had so much flavor and loved the charcoal taste as well. We ordered a side of fried inoki mushroom and it was great. We liked the wasabi and habanero sauce.

    Inside the New Haven Market in West Covina, they have a shop specializing in a Japanese/korean/western fusion. We tried their top of the line bowls, the Filet Mignon Bowl and the Korean BBQ Pork Belly bowl. The meat itself was pretty good, a little chewy for both. But the enoki mushroom tempura had a weird stringy texture that didn't compliment their otherwise perfect crunchy tempura exterior. They also come with kale and kimchi which works, but not the expected Japanese combination. The sauce tasted overall pretty standard more concentrated teriyaki. Given the price point for lunch, I expected a bit more. I feel that their more economical bowls may like feel like a better value, but their premium options were not worth it for me.

    Kaidon's pictures looked enticing for us to give them a try. We ordered the KBBQ Pork Belly Mountain Bowl and the "Legendary" Yakiniku Mountain Bowl through a kiosk, and a worker handed us a beeper for when our food is ready. The portions were great and the bowls had a lot of variety. In addition to a generous helping of meat, you also get some grilled seaweed and a few types of veggies. Our bowls had a good amount of flavor to them, and everything was well-balanced and working well together in terms of taste. If you're not sure what to get in Haven Market, Kaidon is definitely a safe choice!

    Legendary Yakiniku Mountain Bowl

    This is located inside Haven City Market in West Covina. We ordered through the kiosk and were given a beeper that went off after about 20 minutes. The food itself was quite delicious. Here's what I had: Legendary Yakiniku Mountain Bowl - It was like an elevated Yoshinoya beef bowl. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. It also came with fried enoki mushrooms and a side of seaweed, which were both delicious. I would definitely order this again. (5/5) Overall, it's a nice spot in the food court, and I like the setup. It's a bit on the pricey side, but the flavors definitely made it worth trying.

    Grilled Filet Mignon Steak Bowl and Grilled Short Rib Bowl

    The presentation & overall taste was good, but the meat was pretty dry. I got the filet mignon bowl and they cooked it well done. Was a bit disappointed considering the general good reviews this place has. The short rib bowl was good though!

    Sirloin steak rice bowl. Side of fried chicken.

    I wanted to write a review to specifically shout out the incredible staff here. I ran into an issue where I had been waiting quite a while for my order. Turns out my order was lost. They remade my order and was so apologetic, even graciously included a free appetizer and drink to make up for it. They went above and beyond for me. I ordered the sirloin steak bowl and really enjoyed it. It comes with rice at the base, battered enoki mushroom, kimchi, nori, and crispy kale. A very hearty, balanced, and satisfying meal. My only criticism was that the sauce didn't quite taste "asian" to me and felt like it was missing something unami to it. Overall a really solid meal option in the haven city food hall!

    Inside the Haven market place next to the main seating area. The sign really attractive to me, I got the grilled rice bowl. It's really hearty Absolutely delicious, the only down side is that I went in a group and this came out after everyone else's food. It's a bit slower than the other restaurant. Next time id order this first.

    Very good food

    Very good food and ambiance quality is also amazing service also great Would come here again for sure

I will gladly and without hesitation put Canyon City Barbeque up there as some of the best Barbeque I have ever had in my life. When I say I dream of their Barbeque, I mean it.

It was enough meat for 3 hungry adults with leftovers. The sampler let us to try every cut of meat they had, and every cut is barbecued to the highest level of quality for the cut. The brisket and ribs were our personal favorites. I was also blown away by how perfect the chicken was. Every side is pure deliciousness. Don't sleep on the cornbread. I wish we would've ordered even more. The texture is perfect. Crisp crunch on the outside and perfect moisture on the inside. The way cornbread should be. The Mac and cheese and coleslaw were absolutely delicious as well. We all wish we would've bought some of their Barbeque sauce to take home. They have 2 main sauces, one for pork and one for beef. I would happily drown myself in either. Our server was very polite, attentive, and made amazing recommendations (though I'm now convinced I could close my eyes, point at the menu, and be a happy camper lol) I seldom have reason to be in the area, but I now will be looking forward to making a trip back to specifically to grab some Canyon City Barbeque.

American Express is accepted here. I was a bit peckish when visiting, so got a tray full of items such as Prime Brisket, spicy Mac & cheese, potato salad, coleslaw, cornbread, and the pickles (free). The spicy Mac & cheese had a good kick but was not too spicy. Coleslaw and potato salad were pretty solid options. The brisket and the cornbread were my personal favorites. Brisket was a savory profile that I expected and the cornbread had a good sweetness that added to the meal. However, you cannot go wrong with ordering any of these items. The brisket was ordered as 1 lb, while all the sides were single serving side. The portion size was well beyond two people and had a bit of leftovers. It could have been better to get 1/4 lb less brisket or one less side item. This was certainly a nice random discovery and I'd definitely come back again. Thumbs up from a casual BBQ fan!
