    Redbull, sticky rice, chicken
    Sheila A.

    I have been here a handful of times and feel this is a fair assessment based on all of my visits. The establishment is cozy with limited seating. The mural artwork on the wall is definitely a vibe. Food can be ordered at the counter and all of the service staff I have interacted with have all been pleasant. I have tried their korean corn dogs, which are pretty good, I like that they offer an assortment of ingredients to make your own. I have ordered their prepackaged chicken and sticky rice a couple of times, which is usually pretty good. Although during my recent visit the chicken was good and moist. The sticky rice tasted over-cooked and was crunchy on the bottom.

    Chicken Katsu Curry Bowl
    Amber S.

    Food was good quality and tasty. Especially liked the bulgogi bowl and cucumber salad. The fries and chicken were good with the right amount of crunch. Wasn't totally sold on the curry flavor but it was pretty good. Desserts looked awesome but we were too full to try them. Portions were good size for the price and appreciated all the sauces alongside the meals. Would stop here again if I was coming through town.

    Ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl. It came with rice, chicken, and 2 gyozas. The chicken was very dry. There was lots of sauce on the food but still very dry. I wouldn't recommend. The gyoza was good though.

    I was lucky to find this place while scrolling for a good lunch place in Madera, and this is one gem you won't want to miss! The sign outside advertises the place as having Korean & Japanese comfort foods. My friends and I visited in on a Tuesday afternoon, and there was only two other people in the dining room. Upon walking in, we were met with kind service in a timely manner, and the worker offered to answer any questions that may arise. They also have Hot-N-Ready meals such a chicken with sticky rice next to the register if you're looking for a quick meal to-go. The main dish that drew me to this restaurant was their chicken katsu sando. I haven't heard of any other places in the area with something like that, and it did not disappoint The toast of the chicken katsu sando is wonderfully crunchy and pairs nicely with the cucumber salad. It also comes with a side of spicy kewpie mayo, but it's definitely drenched in enough of the katsu & teriyaki sauces on its own. If you're just in the mood for a light lunch, I would definitely recommend splitting the sandwich with someone else, as it comes in a pretty big portion. We also tried the Biscoff croffle, a delicate combination of two of the best pastries. They make the croffles fresh in store, so you can expect a warm, cozy treat that exudes Biscoff goodness. Overall, we left this establishment with full bellies (and happy souls!) :)

    Reese's PB Croffle & Oreo Croffle
    Alexandria C.

    Food was delicious! Elote style Korean dog has great flavor! We also ordered a teriyaki chicken bowl & a katsu bowl to go. The Oreo croffle was my favorite over the Reese's. But I'm not a big fan of peanut butter.

    Beef Bulgogi
    Carol W.

    Yelp to the rescue once again! Had thought about checking Kanojo out in a previous trip but didn't make it, a colleague did and liked it. So decided to go for lunch. One word- delicious! I opted to get one of the specials - beef bulgogi ($12.99). The meat was nice and tender. It came with two dumplings and some kimchi all atop rice. It was a great price and portion size was really good. I would definitely go back.

    Chicken Katsu Sando
    Sandy V.

    Food is good. I'd go back for the Egg Sando; it had a savory taste to it and was unique. They don't skimp on the filling, and the bread was buttery and toasted just right. The spicy mayo sauce complimented the egg very well. Also had the katsu chicken sando, wish there was more sauce in it, but overall, good. It had a decent size piece of chicken in it. The Corn Cheese Fritters were good too if you're into that kind of thing. You could customize the sauce you want drizzled on it; it comes with spicy mayo..I should've added something sweet like sweet chili sauce as well! Small seating area, good for 2-3 people. I took my order to-go. Food came out rather quickly: 15 minutes. Not too bad. Overall if I'm in the area, I'd check them out again just for the egg sando alone!

    Off the hook, Madera! It is outstanding. I've never eaten food like this. They call them K-dogs. You pick a batter and a filling. They look like corn dogs. If you like district fair food...omg... This is the place for you. I felt like I was in deep fried heaven. I got the one full of mozzarella and it was like a giant cheese stick. The batter/coating is the bomb. I got the original sugar batter. Their spicy mayo is perfect with this. My friend got the elote one. We also ordered their fries and dumplings (goyza). Every single thing was outrageously yummy. I've been looking for food and fries like this for years!!! You've got to try them!! #fatteningfun #DeliciousEats

    4/20/24 Getting lunch! Chicken Katsu Sando ordered. The worker was Great and said it would be ready in 10 minutes. I went in to get it. Greeted upon entering. Cute little restaurant with nice music playing. Order was ready. Paid for it and the workers were kind. Happy to bag it and hand it over. Lunchtime! Sandwich split. Perfect size to split! My half was Really Delicious & nice change from the normal! Great sauce with the fresh cucumber and everything else in it! Tasty!! Mother said her half was Great too! Great service & Great Chicken Katsu Sando! Highly recommended!

    Corn fritter
    Drew R.

    Great food! Japanese comfort food is the best way to describe the food here. I ordered corn fritters (amazing!!) waffle fries and ramen noodles corn dog with a hot link instead of hot dog inside. Really makes the different!! Great food and fast service. The staff even shot a video of my food as they gave it to me. This is a must try if you are in the area. I recommend going back to this place.

Service/ ambiance: Came here on a Thursday around 8 to be greeted by a 45min. Wait--we stuck around. The place was super packed, and because the windows had the blinds down with art work; it felt a bit claustrophobic and overwhelming. We got an alert that our table was ready and checked-in. The hostess then left us, and waved us down to signal where we were sitting (they could've told us to follow them lol) The waitress was nice, but seemed a bit scattered. Automatically asked what we wanted, but we had never been here before, so wasn't sure how it all worked (they never explained). The walls of our booth were littered with scrape marks and chipped paint. The booth had no cushion whatsoever, making it extremely difficult to get comfortable (ok...there's a cushion, but it's flat). The table was the most annoying part. No matter if you scoot it more towards you or the other side there still so much space. I'm basically sitting at the edge of my seat trying to eat because of the distance--if you're a bit heftier on the stomach--it's perfect. (Random observation: the bathroom looks nice, but not well kept. There's graffiti and cravings all over, which makes me think I'm in the bathroom of a dive bar) Food: As I mentioned I was craving sushi--their selection was lack luster. Almost everything had the same ingredients. The salmon sashimi looked pale and had no color. There were some pieces that were sliced so thin you could basically see through it. I ordered two rolls for my daughter (crazy roll & snow mountain)--both were lacking flavor. The presentation for them was as if they didn't care or even try? Every time I picked one up it would fall apart. The Hibachi steak was cold and dry. Shot ribs were just lathered in sauce (not my preference), and mostly came with little meat and all bone. I'd only come back if the majority of people I'm with want to go, but I wouldn't suggest it myself. The service felt rushed. Food could have been presented/ prepared better. Space could've opened easily by letting us see out the windows and not feel so packed like a can of sardines, and could definitely use some touch up paint and better cushions. It could've been an off night, but this is what I experienced.

One word of advice: if you're planning to join the waitlist, I recommend calling ahead for a more accurate wait time. The website initially showed no one ahead of us, but after joining the waitlist it indicated several parties were waiting. When we arrived, we were told the wait would be about 45 minutes, which wasn't ideal with a couple of hungry kids. Thankfully, we were seated within about 10 minutes. Our server, Patrick, was fantastic! He provided excellent customer service, took the time to explain the sushi rolls, helped us navigate the kids' menu, and was attentive throughout our meal. Patrick, thank you for helping make my mom's birthday dinner so memorable. Khasey was our chef, and the food was absolutely delicious. He made sure we had every sauce we asked for. The teppanyaki experience for the children was engaging and fun. To top it off, the staff brought out a cute birthday dessert and sang a birthday tune for my mom, which made the celebration even more special. The location is another huge plus. It's situated in a great area near Fresno State with plenty to do before or after dinner, including ice cream shops, boba spots, VR gaming, and movie theaters. Overall, we had a great experience and can't wait to come back!

Whether you're craving sushi, teriyaki, or ramen, they really have something for everyone. The sushi and sashimi are incredibly fresh -- honestly some of the freshest fish we've had at any sushi restaurant. It tastes like the chef went out and caught it that morning. The 14-piece sashimi platter with a couple of rolls was more than enough for two people, and everything was excellent quality. The ramen is also fantastic, but fair warning: the bowls are HUGE, so definitely come hungry. Their garlic edamame is absolutely addictive, and we really enjoyed the poke in the seaweed poke salad, though the dish does lean very heavily on the seaweed, so just keep that in mind before ordering.

Service: I called ahead because I'm polite and didn't want to be that person showing up an hour before closing. They were super kind and said it was totally fine.
