Eboshi is the perfect place for some late-night eats and has some classically great Japanese bar food. We got a variety of dishes, including one of their strawberry/cranberry beers, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Furthermore, we got everything that you would want from a nice day out or a nice night out: pork, alongside a vegetable dish, alongside a great takoyaki dish, and what I'd highly recommend is their fried rice and gyoza. Service was excellent, and they tool care of us every which way :)

I learned this place stays open late on the weekends and this is where many restaurant staff come to eat! This place is tiny, yet cozy. The tables are placed a bit close, but you still have privacy. She shared the gyoza which was crispy on the outside and flavorful inside. One friend ordered the yakisoba and I tasted it which was very good, I will order it next time. My other friend ordered the mabo tofu which I also had a chance to taste and I could easily understand why my friend says this dish is her comfort food. I ordered the Tan Tan Ramen and it was so good! I took half home to share with my husband. There are so many other dishes I want to try next time! Free parking on the lot. We had to wait 15 minutes for a table, which was totally ok. because the food was so good! Prices are reasonable too. OH! They have Happy Hour!!!

Chinese food is always a sure bet whenever we can't decide what to have for lunch. So today we…read morestopped by Tasty Noodle since we were just a couple blocks away. Located on the corner of PCH and Penn Ave, the restaurant features its own 16-car parking lot. Inside, the décor is quite casual, and it is spacious enough to accommodate 50 guests. Upon arrival, the friendly staff promptly guided us to our table and brought menus and water right away. While perusing their menu, we found out they have stinky tofu. Yes, stinky tofu! The dish, with its pungent aroma and unique flavor, caused the ultimate sensory conflict between the taste and smell when we tried it for the first time. So, in a benign masochistic way, we went ahead and ordered their Crispy Spicy Stinky Tofu with Pork. When the dish arrived, we apologized profusely to our next table patrons for the smell, and even offered to let them try it, which they unhesitatingly and politely refused. This restaurant's version was slightly different. The fried tofu cubes had a tougher texture, less airy, and were lightly flavored. The sauce was nicely spicy, but the ground pork was present only in spirit because we couldn't find it. Overall, it was not too bad, but it could be better. Besides the tofu dish, we also ordered their Seafood in Crab Meat Sauce Noodle. This was an interesting dish. The soup came separately from the noodles and starchy sauce, which had shrimp and fish fillet toppings. This setup allows you to dilute the soup's thickness to your liking. The noodles were nicely al dente, the sauce was well seasoned, and the shrimp and fish filets had a great texture. Crab meat sauce was blended in the broth and kind of MIA. Lastly, we ordered Black Pepper Seafood Rice Cake. The sauce was pleasantly savory, a tad sweet, and slightly spicy from black peppers. The sliced rice cakes had a perfect texture: neither too soft nor too hard. The pieces of squid and fish filet toppings had a very nice consistency. The prices were reasonable and the food was very good. Recommended.

If you've ever had popcorn chicken from a good boba shop, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Highly recommend checking out this local gem!!!

Everything else however, sucked. The soup tasted like they literally forgot to add ingredients, my hubby called it "water soup". we asked the waitress for salt & pepper, which helped. the garlic stems & braised tofu were just really meh. I'm not sure what happened to this place. maybe just stick with the Sichuan dishes?? The service though was excellent.

I went on a sunny day so there was no shade to hide under. It got pretty warm. Interior: Ichimi Ann is a very small restaurant. It is a bit cramp so there really was no choice but to wait outside. The tables kind of have a sticky feel. Service: We wait for about 30 mins for a table for 6. The menu is slightly different from their other location so it was a bit confusing to order. The waitress took our order and brought us our food. She was polite but did not really interact with us much. Food: I got the deluxe tempura rice bowl combo with zaru udon. The udon was very refreshing especially since the day was pretty warm. If you like Carlos Junior's tempura bowls, you should definitely give Ichimi Ann a try. The portion is pretty big and the tempura was fried perfectly. It did not taste oily at all.

Tried a new menu item, their special wagyu burrito featuring a special sauce. If you enjoy an In and Out burger you'll recognize the flavors in this burrito. My only complaint was it was a bit small for the price. But then again it's Wagyu and it was still delicious AND filling. We ordered the kimchee fried rice without kimchee (sacrilegious I know) but the special request was graciously accommodated. The fried rice was made with a unique blend of seasoning that I couldn't quite figure out. Very flavorful. My unsophisticated palette guessed it was maybe a Filipino blend? The fried spam was a bit too salty. If I had a vote I would've preferred to keep the kimchee as it would've offset the saltiness. Plus I love kimchee. Oh well I'll be back to have it my way ;) Because my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I really wanted something sweet we ordered the Ube pancakes. Wow! Warning. They're REALLY sweet! The actual pancakes were delicious and while I thought I'd only have a few bites, I couldn't stop eating them. I forced myself to stop and saved half for breakfast the next day. We had a matcha vanilla latte to share but it was also really sweet. A cup of black coffee would have been my preference to offset the sweetness of the pancakes. As mentioned in other reviews parking is only on the street.
