    Came here for a weekday work lunch and it was a great choice. Parking is easy with a big lot, it wasn't too busy, and the food came out quickly -- perfect for a fast, no-stress lunch break. I live down the street so love walking here on a nice day. You don't see katsu burgers around very often, so that was interesting and definitely caught my eye. This time I went with the mix teriyaki and katsu plate, which was solid and really hit the spot. The katsu was crispy, not greasy, and paired well with the teriyaki. Simple, tasty, and efficient. I'll definitely be back and will probably try one of the katsu burgers next time.

    Pretty glad we stopped by here on a weekday night for a quick dinner. The worker was very friendly and provided good tips on the menu. We just got the katsu burger and the spicy katsu burger, and both were delicious at a pretty cheap price for the quality in my opinion ($8 for the regular and $9 for the spicy). The katsu was crunchy, sauce was a bit sweet, and the slaw provided a nice sourness to balance out.

    Chicken Katsu Burger
    Czarina D.

    Really enjoyed my meal from here!!! My husband and I ordered: Chicken Katsu Plate, Korean Bulgogi Beef Plate, Spicy Chicken Katsu Burger, Spicy Beef Katsu Burger, and Gyoza The food was delicious! My favorite thing was the chicken katsu with their katsu sauce. The chicken was fried to perfection, insanely crunchy, flavorful, and not too oily! It was honestly some of the best katsu chicken I've had. The breading on it was soooo good. The bulgogi beef was also good and I loved the onions and mushrooms, but I wish they served it with some sambal oelek (or something a little spicy). The burgers were both delicious and SPICY! Really enjoyed both and would totally order again, but preferred the Spicy Beef Katsu Burger more as the beef patty tasted better than the chicken one for a burger format. Gyoza was standard! Overall, GREAT MEAL! Get the chicken katsu!!!! So good!

    Finally a spicy chicken is spicy! The chef said that was a complaint and he upped the spice level on the chicken. I am definitely pleased. It hit all the right spots for lunch. The chicken was fresh and cooked well. It satiated the appetite as well as satiating the craving of something spicy and something Asian. Good balance of protein, veggies and carbs. The restaurant is cute and has enough parking and seating to hold several small parties. The restroom though is located behind the cashier which is always odd.

    I always past by here to and from work - and I'm glad I stopped by! I got the most popular item (chicken katsu burger) and it was by far the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Crispy, with excellent texture. I expected it to be greasy, but it wasn't greasy whatsoever! The owner (Axel) mentioned that they make everything fresh per day and you can definitely feel the love in every bite. Service was quick, and they also gave me a side of chili oil which excellently pairs with the chicken. Pretty fun ambiance as well, modern and lots of space. Will come back again!

    We passed by and saw this place and wanted to try. Manager was super nice and recommended us these dishes. It was delicious and such good value! He also mentioned their m Salmon comes from SF - really fresh. Didnt get to try but i would come back for it. Amazing!! Go check this place out!

    Really convenient location, the manager was really charming and easy. And you receive your food really quickly. High-quality and extremely reasonable price. I definite must pass by.

    Salmon teriyaki
    Connie P.

    Only regret: why haven't I stopped in sooner. I'll admit I have avoided having teriyaki for a long time since I ate it frequently during lunch years ago. Now that I'm trying to find good places, I'm so happy I tried this one. It's down the street from my home, plenty of parking and cute atmosphere. Staff is nice and the food is made to order so don't go in rushing. Tried the salmon teriyaki and bulgogi, both delicious. Will be back for the burger soon.

    DO NOT SKIP THIS PLACE. I came here after reading the good reviews and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!!! I came to the window to order and the sweetest guy Axel helped me out. He recommended the katsu burger and was so kind to make my order fresh with a lettuce wrap, as requested. The chicken was hearty, the fries were crispy, and the spicy mayo was to die for. If you like fresh, affordable food, good music, and excellent service in a clean setting, please stop by. I will definitely come back to try their other menu items!!! :)

    So this the spot we decided to go to for some lunch in Costa Mesa! I ordered the Katsu/Beef Teriyaki plate and Axel was the guy that helped us. The restaurant looked super clean and the food only took about 6 mins to arrive! The Katsu was very tender and the beef teriyaki was also cooked perfectly. I do wish I got a bigger portion of the rice and a little more meat but overall, solid. Axel also gave us a piece of flan that's not on the menu to try which was nice! Be back in the future for sure!

Everyone always has a smile on their face and are ready to help you out. Upon walking in, you can order yourself or head straight to the counter to place your order.

I usually sit inside where its cooler on these warm humid days recently. They offer combo deals right now which is a good offer for a burger, fries, and drink. Definitely check that out. I ordered a western burger yesterday. Think of the Carl's western burger but like a billion times better. So juicy and the bbq sauce they use is quite distinct. I am definitely getting this burger again next time!

They do have them where I'm at in Las Vegas, but I have yet to visit any of those establishments. I was super hungry and thought I want to go try that rib sandwich. Place is easy to find right off 17th Street. You really can't miss it with that big sign. And the building is definitely unique as well so you shouldn't have any problem finding it Inside you can either choose to go digital and and skip talking to a real person. I'm old school, I actually like engaging with people. So I went to the counter. I ordered the rib sandwich without looking, and was a little shocked by the total. The sandwich itself is 15 bucks, I ordered a small fry which was $4.50, and a small drink which was $4. With a 15% tip my total came out to $28. Definitely a little shell-shocked by that. Now let's talk about the sandwich. It came to the table and at first glance it looked very small. When I picked it up there was a very generous portion of rib meat inside like a big chunk of rib meat. Huge pickles and a lot of sauce. It was a great sandwich. Do not get me wrong, what I ordered again? Maybe. They don't really have a meal deal that includes fries and a drink so it's sort of all a la carte. Now let's talk about the taste. The fries were perfectly cooked, and the sandwich itself was a solid 10. That being said, I would definitely feel more comfortable paying $12 for this sandwich, as I think 15 is a little exuberant. And you don't really get that many fries for $4.50. I can't imagine what the meal deal would have been, but I'm sure people would absolutely balk at that price. I would have given it a five-star review, but that is way too much for that sandwich. As delicious as it was, I just don't feel right spending that much for a sandwich. If it could be reworked, and the price dropped down I would be all in in a heartbeat. Bottom line? If you've been wanting to try it, I say go ahead. Just be warned that you could be unpleasantly surprised unless you know what the prices are you're getting into.
