    I work at the happiest place on earth so I finally got to give this a try to bring lunch to work. I ordered the chicken katsu and it was so delicious and was still crunchy an hour later after clocking in for work. There was a lot of food to my surprise for $22. It is nice they give you a gyoza and shrimp tempura with your chicken katsu. The coleslaw I didn't care for but the pickles and rice I enjoyed a lot. I will go back again to try the other things on the menu. There is a kiosk to order so I didn't talk to anymore except when I got my food. Lady was nice who served me. I didn't have to wait long, only 15 min or so. There's plenty of seating outside no sitting inside since it's a small area other than a few chairs as a waiting area.

    Came here around 9pm after a Disney day and it was the best decision ever. I haven't had a meal in a long time where I enjoyed every single item we ordered! There's 3 self service kiosks you can order at with pictures of the larger entrees so it's easier to choose what you want. There's no seating inside but there are a few tables outside covered with umbrellas. We ordered: Pork with cheese katsu- this was sooo worth it. There's 2 layers of cheesy, crispy pork katsu goodness, a big scoop of rice, coleslaw, a spicy radish sauce, and fried gyoza and shrimp on the side. Everything was seasoned well and stood out on its own. The radish sauce wasn't overly spicy and cut the richness of the cheese so well. Rose tteokbokki- the sauce was a little runny but the flavors were still on par-- creamy, cheesy, and a lil spicy. Rice cakes were bouncy and chewy, and sausages were umami flavor bombs. Shrimp musubi- these surprised me by how good they were! The shrimp was perfectly seasoned with a great crunch. Yummm Spam musubi- spam... you can't go wrong with spam. This was good, as expected! But if you're looking for a musubi with more pizazz, try the shrimp musubi Already thinking about the next time I can come here. Highly recommend!

    Mama Katsu is a hidden gem! I'm not sure how long they've been open, but wow--this place completely exceeded my expectations. Everything we ordered was delicious. The California roll was fresh and flavorful, my kimbap was vibrant and really well seasoned, and the shrimp tempura was amazing--super fresh, fluffy, and not greasy at all. We also ordered the spam musubi, which had great flavor and is always one of our favorites. The service was great, the place was clean, and it's also really convenient for takeout. We placed our order online through their website and it was ready quickly. When we arrived, the parking attendant helped direct us to double park on the red for a quick pickup, which made it SO convenient. If I could rate this place a 10, I would! Definitely come give it a try--you won't be disappointed. We'll absolutely be back.

    We just finished a long day at Disneyland and were craving Japanese food. We found this spot in a plaza with a bunch of interesting combos and stopped in around 9-10pm. The place was empty, but they have three easy-to-use tablets for ordering, which made it super seamless. Our food was ready in under 10 minutes! The portion sizes are massive--the katsu was great, and it came with unexpected sides like tempura and gyoza that were actually delicious. It was the perfect, quick, and filling meal to end a Disney day.

    Not a real ramen place. All Costco throw and go food here.
    Lenny R.

    Yuck. Top ramen from Costco. Same plastic noodles. Same exact taste. So gross. Frozen and warmed style food. Tossed out.

    Nikki T.

    Is there even fish in this or is it all fryer scraping? Also...their ramen is top ramen noodles with whatever broth they think makes it ok to sell for more than 2 dollars (a 100% increase from RETAIL even might i add..not to mention if they got it wholesale). Going to bed hungry after 10 hours at the park. I'm so incredibly disappointed. Do BETTER Mama Katsu.

    This place is absolutely fantastic! We found it on Yelp after leaving Disneyland and wanted something to take with us back to the hotel. The stellar reviews are all very accurate and this place is amazing! The portions are huge compared to what you pay for your food and everything is so fresh and delicious. I also love their different dessert options. They are perfect for walking to your hotel after Disneyland if you need a snack. My husband and I both got the Katsu chicken meal +10 dumplings and it was more than enough food for the two of us. I highly recommend this place if you are staying in a hotel near Disneyland.

    Small spot just outside the disney gates. There's tables outside but this is mostly for carry out. Unsure if they do delivery (maybe doordash or ubereats?) We went with the chicken katsu meal and added extra rice. Once we got back to hotel, we were pleasantly surprised at how big the portion of food was. Good enough to feed 2 adults and a toddler. It also came with 2 gyoza and 1 shrimp tempura. Everything tasted great. Would definitely come back if we were staying close by.

    We had a party of 9 people and decided on katsu for a dinner on Saturday. This place is conveniently located close to disneyland and anaheim garden walk. There are 3 kiosks to order from. Seems like a mom and pop katsu and korean restaurant. The owner came out to talk to us after we got our food, she was so sweet and asked us where we were visiting from. The food came out so fast too, only took about 10 minutes. The portions were humongous, I wish I shared with someone but since it came in a takeout box, it was easy to pack up. We ate outside, plenty of outdoor seating. I got the chicken katsu and original kimbap. My friends got either chicken or pork tonkatsu and they were both delicious. Our katsu also came with some cole slaw, gyoza, shrimp tempura, katsu sauce, and pickled jalapeño sauce. Large portions for a great price. Thanks Mama Katsu!

    My flight landed late and I was famished. I searched Yelp for a less fast-food-oriented restaurant and Mama Katsu caught my eye due to its positive reviews. It's nestled in the heart of a small shopping center, a cozy carry-out restaurant with no dining space. The interior is charming and nicely decorated. When I walked in, a lady came out from the back and greeted me with very friendly energy. I ordered both the chicken and fish Katsu from the ordering kiosk by the counter. The food came out pretty fast and the packaging was very impressive, with each meal in a nice paper box. This and the service was the highlight of my experience from this establishment. I had the fish Katsu and found it to be ... okay. I like that the meals came with rice, two dumplings, and two small sides: coleslaw and pickled radish. However, the fried fish was quite oily and too heavily battered for my liking and left me feeling as though I had consumed more batter than actual fish. As a result, I didn't revisit during the rest of my stay and probably won't visit again when I'm in town next. If it's late and you're in the area, AND absolutely in the mood for Katsu, I would say give this place a try. Other than that, there are healthier options than here. Note: There's a charge for paying with a credit card.

    I was looking around for food outside of Disneyland and happened to see this spot. I enjoy a good katsu, and this place hit the spot with its cost and taste. It was a walkable distance after leaving the park, which was also a plus. The place itself is pretty small - more of a takeout place than a sit-down restaurant. They only have a few chairs available inside to sit down while you wait for your order. There are seats and tables available outside. We ordered the Pork Katsu and were able to share the box between two people. It included a lot! There was the katsu, a piece of gyoza, a piece of shrimp tempura, rice, pickles, and coleslaw. It was pretty worth it, especially when comparing it to the prices and portions of Disneyland.

    Not much to say really. Small place with a few good options. Tried the spam and the shrimp musubi and the gyoza. It's a bit pricey, but then again this could be normal pricing for California, it's just I can't really justify the price for what I'm getting knowing I've eaten the same thing only better and cheaper at quite a few places. Some outdoor seating which is nice. I would eat there again but wouldn't seek it out.

The oxtail is shredded directly into the rice, so you get that deep, savory beef flavor in every spoonful without having to navigate around bones. Topped with a sunny-side-up egg and fragrant Thai basil, it's a rich, cohesive dish that hits all the right notes. ​Soft Shell Crab Curry: The execution on the crab is flawless--perfectly crispy and light. The accompanying yellow curry is aromatic and creamy, providing a great balance to the saltier crunch of the crab. ​Shaken Beef Rice Bowl: The beef is clearly a premium cut, seared to a perfect tender finish. It's served with a fresh salad and a bright green chili-lime sauce that provides a necessary zesty kick to the savory steak. ​O'meli Kitchen manages to feel sophisticated while remaining approachable. The service is professional, and the kitchen's attention to detail--like shredding the oxtail for ease of eating--shows they really care about the guest experience. It's a must-visit in Fullerton.

I have come to Ini a couple of times whenever I stop by the Orange County area, and my graduation dinner was no exception. What makes them so unique is their perfect balance between Asian flavors and Italian classics. Everything I have tasted here has been delicious and has exceeded my expectations. Something I appreciate, besides the aesthetic interior, is their unique selection of dishes ranging from innovative pizzas, creamy and original pastas, and bright, flavorful appetizers. Here are a couple of items that I want to shout out: First, the truffle honey bread. I really appreciated the crispiness of the cheese on top and the bounciness of the fluffy bread paired with the sweetness of the honey. It creates a very balanced bite that keeps you wanting more. The raw salmon appetizer was a huge hit with our table. The citrus paired very well with the salmon itself, and even though this is a common appetizer at many fusion restaurants, they really do it right. The beef carpaccio was a great fusion dish and a wonderful nod to the Asian flavors that inspired them. This is a dish I have ordered multiple times, and it always hits the spot. Out of all the pizzas, I enjoyed the mala lamb the most. It actually was not too spicy, with a nice peppery flavor. Sometimes lamb can be a bit overpowering; however, when topped with the mala honey, everything balanced out perfectly. I also want to note that I have never seen this flavor combination anywhere else, and I think it is definitely something you need to try if you are here. The short rib gnocchi was another favorite of mine. The gnocchi was fluffy and cloud-like and paired really well with the umami-rich, savory flavor of the short rib. The meat itself was very tender and pulled apart easily, making every bite delicious. There are other dishes I could mention, but I do want to shout out the scallop risotto. This one definitely surprised me, as I am not usually a big risotto eater. I appreciated the creaminess of the rice mixed with the scallop, and even though it was a cream-based dish, it did not feel heavy at all. The service was very friendly, and everything came out in a timely manner, which I especially appreciated considering we had a big group. Overall, I will always try to find a reason to come back here, as this place really does take the cake for me when it comes to Kei concept restaurants.
