    Mexi-Tacon
    Kijana Q.

    Not sure how this is only rated a 4.2 on yelp. The food is flavorful, juicy, and spiced just right. I tried the Gorditas & a chicken tamale and my love tried the Mexican-Tacon, a cheese enchilada, and a chicken tamale. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. The service was a bit slow considering not many people were in there; but the food is by far worth the wait. The atmosphere is clean and quiet, and the TVs playing funny videos was nice. Overall, I rate this place a 4.7 out of 5!

    lunch burrito
    Tim K.

    Looking for local flavor we pulled a restaurant out of the "proverbial hat" and zero'd in on Mexican cuisine. Actually, we are looking for another restaurant and got tired of looking for it and our vehicle happen to be right out front of La Dona. A quick Yelp review and we found it to be a popular spot. Walked on in for a late lunch, we were quickly greeted by a number of the staff. With a smile on her face, a server told us to pick a table and we sat right down. She quickly came over with menus, made some recommendations, and brought along some fantastic chips and salsa. She asked us if we wanted to try some of their "hot" salsa that they only bring out for special occasions so of course we said "yes"! The chips and both salsa's were both terrific. Ironically, we both picked the same lunch menu, burritos. With a choice of four different meats, we both picked pork. The burrito comes with a choice of beans, I went with the refried. About five minutes later, the server returned with our food. This burrito was a large burrito, it came stuffed with pork, red sauce, melted jack cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. Since I'm not a big sour cream fan, I passed. More than enough to eat and plenty delicious. The meal was hot, they didn't cut any corners on any of the ingredients. Every bite was terrific. I got a doggy bag to take back what I couldn't finish. Oh, I had the Arnold Palmer to drink. It was terrific. Our server came back a number of times to keep filling the drink up. Yum!

    Camarones a la Diabla
    Susan L.

    My husband and I were craving Mexican and so I started yelping. Found this place and decided to give it a try. I love the ambiance of the restaurant. Very festive and cute. Staff were friendly and polite. I got the camarones a la diabla and it was pretty good. The sauce is a little thinner than what I've had in the past but the flavor and spice was definitely there. I also ordered the shrimp ceviche tostada. Flavor was perfect. Just the perfect amount of sour. Only thing was, I wish it was a little spicier but that's what the hot sauce is for. My husband ordered the chimichanga with carnitas and he said he liked it. Overall, this place was okay. I would go again.

    $4 for a side of sour cream?
    Kevin B.

    This place actually has pretty good food and service, but they lose several stars from me for charging $4 for a side of sour cream and not telling me. Had they told me how much it cost I would have passed on it. I can buy two entire bottles of sour cream for that much. If it weren't for this I would definitely come back. Unfortunately, I can't support an establishment which chooses to unethically price gouge their customers.

    The food was excellent and very obviously made with love and skill. Standouts were the Chile Verde and Carnitas. House made corn tortillas too! My mom loved her lime margarita. Service was friendly, professional and generous. This is a family run business that got through Covid and is well worth patronizing. We'll be back with friends!

    Spicy chili sauce and avocado salsa
    Robert C.

    Stopped by on a work break based on the Yelp reviews. Came a little early as the severs were eating lunch before the rush. Friendly greeting from everyone. Ordered the chile verde. Received some nice crunchy chips with a chili sauce which was nice but spicy, and a blended avocado salsa. My dish came and the pork chunks were not braised or stewed in the sauce. It was poured over which meant less flavor IMO. I should've ordered the tacos that I was planning on. Service was prompt and friendly. Heard it's a good local place but probably my ordering mistake.

    Chilaquiles Breakfast

    This place was so beautiful, I've been feeling home sick and just the vibes in general give such an authentic feel for the latin culture. Food was amazing presentation was on point. Sorry for the late pic it was too good we forgot to take the picture first. Definitely coming back on a regular basis.

    Lime margarita with tajin on the rim on the rocks. Chips and their homemade red salsa.
    Anetra T.

    My first time here and I'm so glad I found this place on my way home. The authenticity of the food will definitely make me a repeat customer. The excellent customer service from the hostess/ server/cashier/ bomb margarita bartender made my experience just that more amazing. The prices were very reasonable too! Ooh let me not forget the bomb homemade salsas I had with my tacos and my chips. Both the green and red salsas were equally great! This is a family friendly environment or if you want to have a little date night or even with friends.. the ambience is equally accommodating. I'll be back for sure!!

    Taco capiado (fish taco)
    Henri Suzie H.

    Excellent service with a smile on a dark and rainy day. Coming in feels like taking shelter from the storm. The empty space was very welcoming. The food was out of this world, don't miss the green salsa. Faith restored in this spot!!

    Gorditas to go
    John S.

    This is my first time trying La Dona. My wife brought me food and it was so delicious. I got gorditas a wet burrito and pazole. Can't wait to revisit this place and dine in. Highly recommend.

The setup was pretty interesting with tables on the side and a conveyor belt with the center where the chefs are working and seating lined around that. The staff were kind and helpful in explaining how it all worked being that it was all you can eat. First, there is a menu where you can place orders with the staff for things like appetizers and drinks. We got some sodas and ordered items such as edamame, miso soup and grilled salmon teriyaki. Then in the center where the conveyor belt is, you can walk around to it and pick up plates that you want to try. It mostly seemed like nigiri and rolls that they were commonly making. In the center, the chef station is between the conveyor belt area and there you can order more specific items you want to try like a roll, sashimi or handrolls. We chose to order some different sashimi like salmon and yellowtail and handrolls like the spider and alaska. They also make a bunch of extra dishes that you can take off the shelf as well. For the price and the experience, we thought it was very enjoyable from the multitude of options to the freshness of the items.

You make your own bow of food (raw) and they cook it for you. Meal starts with noodles, then veggies, meat, and final stage is the sauce. They have a list of recommended spoonfuls of each, and you can get wild with it if you want! I went garlic heavy and really liked it. Veggies were cabbage, onion, broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, sprouts, spinach, kale, peppers, and a few others. Meat was beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. I tried the beef and lamb with my two servings, preference was the beef. Ambiance is good - somewhat busy and they're cooking food nearly non stop. After our second plate a big lunch rush came in, we had enough already but wait would have been a bit longer after a group of 10 came in! Always a good sign when people keep coming in, and you can tell there are some regulars with the interactions from patrons and staff. You make your own food, so up to you to make it how you like it! I liked what I assembled, and will likely go back next time I'm feeling this type of meal. We didn't try the hot pot, but looked good. Recommend.

The food itself was also disappointing and didn't meet my expectations. Another frustration was getting drink refills. The refill station requires you to go back through the line of people entering the restaurant, which creates unnecessary congestion and makes a simple refill take much longer than it should.

We did the AYCE and I definitely got my money's worth. The service was courteous and prompt. The ambiance was typical for a K-BBQ spot- the open floor plan makes for a slightly louder place, but at least the music was not blasting so loudly that conversation was hindered. The menu has meat and other dishes that can be ordered a la carte, if all you can eat is not your thing. (Or if you don't want to have to grill your own meat.) We ordered: -Pork belly (regular, thin sliced, and soy garlic. All great, but the thin sliced has always been my favorite). -Marinated beef (tasty). -LA ribs (well marinated and not too salty). -Bulgogi and the Hawaiian bulgogi (the Hawaiian was good and I like the pineapple chunks to grill,, but preferred the regular because it was less sweet). -Shrimp (head and shell on, be prepared to peel and de-vein after grilling). -Marinated baby octopus (one of my son's favorite things he had there). Some highlights that will bring me back: -Sliced pickled radish to wrap the meat for a low carb option. -Glutinous rice paper to wrap the meat (nice and chewy texture, great touch to the marinated meat). -ALL of the banchan was spot on. Zingy kimchi, firm broccoli, not too sweet fishcakes, and seasoned bean sprouts were among our faves. -Last but not least, the crispy chicken wings. Crispy like Korean fried chicken should be with delicious sauces (we tried the sweet and spicy, and the soy garlic). Worth it to come back just for that. We will definitely be going back soon!

We'd always only gone for their lunch menu before, but we were really craving sushi and sashimi last night, so we thought Fuji would be the best place to go since we were starving!! We noticed that the dinner menu wasn't that much different from the lunch. Seems like only a handful of items are added, so we still made sure to try some of those dinner-only items. One was the Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab, and it was absolutely delicious! The whole thing was edible, so there was no need to de-shell the crab, and the tempura batter was nice and crispy. The crab also didn't taste fishy at all. I also liked that they served it with a tempura dipping sauce on the side because it helped refresh the dish and cut back on the greasiness a little bit. Another thing I was really super curious to try was the Smoked Salmon. I did order it, but I think the guy working at the sashimi section misheard me and ended up giving me regular salmon instead - boo! I wanted to go back and order more later, but by that point I was already really full, so I decided not to be greedy. Other than that, everything else was pretty much the same as the lunch offerings. In general, my brother and I really like this place. It's definitely our go-to spot when it comes to all you can eat sushi and sashimi. My brother and I love getting a huge plate of sashimi with a variety of fish like Salmon, Yellowtail, Mackerel, and even Unagi too.
