    Hot Cheetos corn dog
    Luis H.

    Place is small but clean has a couple of tables to sit and dine. We order the 2 corn dogs with fries which were reasonably priced. Both were delicious and filling. I would definitely recommend!

    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.

    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!) :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The spot is cute and clean, with a bright, tropical vibe that definitely gives off that "health-conscious but Instagram-ready" energy. I went with a protein smoothie, nothing fancy, just something to refuel with. It was good, not great. $9.50 for one smoothie felt a little steep, especially considering the portion size. I get it, fresh ingredients, protein, etc, but for that price, I expected a bit more WOW factor in flavor, size, presentation, etc... However, the staff was polite and engaging. Just a quick in-and-out experience, nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. All in all, Rio Açaí Bowls is a decent local option if you're craving something healthy-ish and cold.

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.

The service was nice, but not very attentive. Regarding the food, we got two Bento Boxes and one Caterpillar Roll. For the price, the portion was good, but the quality and taste weren't the best. The tempura was really thick, and the shrimp was reminiscent of the frozen Costco shrimp tempura. The sashimi was stringy and of poor quality.

Everything we had was subpar at most, which is a shame considering how vast the menu is (lol at their AI pictures though). I wouldn't come back nor recommend what we got. Good Japanese food can be hard to come by in Fresno. I'd skip Shobu Japanese Cuisine due to the food quality and environment. Find them off Blackstone Ave. in the shopping complex with free parking.
