    2 item plate with beef and chicken teriyaki. Get to add your own ginger from the condiments bar.
    Kat F.

    After all these years, Okazya still hits the spot! This was one of our go-tos in high school and we found ourselves in the area over 20 *COUGH* years later so we had to stop by. The teriyaki chicken and beef are flavorful, the food is still decently priced considering current times and the amount of food you get. Nostalgia and comfort bump up the place to 4 stars for me. Parking is easy; there's a lot but could get filled up during busy times. Service is friendly and helpful. It's fast casual, so you order at the counter and find a seat. Few tables and bar seating. Will definitely be coming back. Worth driving a little further to support a small business than buy from a chain restaurant.

    Deluxe Bowl
    Randi B.

    My bosses love this place and I have been picking up chicken bowls for them at least once a month for the past year or so. I really don't know why it took me so long to try their food! Inside is small with a handful of tables, it's very cozy and has cute decor. It always smells amazing in here! Bowls come in regular, large, and XL sizes - regular is super filling, anything bigger would become two meals for me! I have had their Deluxe Bowl, Salmon Bowl, and miso soup. Deluxe has white rice, delicious, tender, high quality chicken, a great tasting teriyaki sauce with a hint of ginger, steamed veggies, and two pork gyoza. LOVE IT. Salmon is also good, but quite plain, just a piece of salmon on top of rice, with teriyaki on the side. I'm glad I took some chili sauce to go, next time I will ask for some green onions on it as well. Miso soup is super flavorful, not watered down like other places, and is a generous portion, way larger than I was expecting. Perfect to sip on a cold, drizzly day! It's always the same guy working when I visit and he is very friendly. Every order I have called in has been ready in about 10 minutes, even when it's multiple bowls. Prices are really good, $10 - $14 per person depending on what you get. I can't wait to try more of their menu, and i'm so glad my bosses brought Okazya to my attention!

    Yummy chicken teriyaki bowl

    Just started a new job recently and I was looking for a good lunch spot. Some of my coworkers recommend this place. It's a very welcoming little shop and looks clean inside too. Definitely recommend if you're craving a good chicken teriyaki spot. The food is delicious and the service was great , I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu.

    Mixed Tempura

    This is for sure a case of dont judge a book by its cover because looks sure are deceiving here! The strip mall that its in is rough. And Okazya is by all means a lil' hole in the wall. But there's something rather charming about it. Nothing fancy about this place, and you can kind of see into the kitchen and its not fancy back there either. But the lady who took my order was so nice. I didnt get her name, but she gave me some genuine recommendations. Nonetheless, I ordered the one thing that I came for...the XL Spicy Tuna Bowl. Also got some mixed tempura. Been hearing about this bowl in one of the buzz groups and had to have it. After a short wait, I got it and took it straight home. I expected a full container of spicy tuna on top of rice, and that is exactly what it was! The spicy tuna was not painfully spicy, it actually tasted slightly sweet to me. But this was a case where my expectations were 100% spot on. Highly recommend giving this place a shot. If youre doing to go, I would also recommend calling ahead.

    Nothing bad unless you don't like teriyaki. However portions did get a little smaller. :/

    Did they recently change ownership? i went recently and none of the workers looked familiar, and the lady taking my order didn't seem to know the menu very well.

    Is there any vegan friendly options?

    Yes! On our combo menu, we have combo #10 & 11 offers lightly boiled crunchy veggies and tofu with our fresh teriyaki sauce. Also, looking down the menu we have other vegan items such as, veggie tofu bowl in all sizes, vegetable curry, vegetable…

Elisa was friendly and delivered good service. The service was kind of slow, but the dishes were very delicious. The fish was fresh and I saw the chef filleting a whole fish, which I don't think I've seen in Southern California before. Maybe because I don't typically sit at or near the bar. The Yellowtail Jalapeño was perfectly spicy and had the umami I appreciate. The micro greens and tomato were nice additions to the plate. The Coconut Shrimp Roll had coconut shrimp, coconut mayo, and shaved coconut. This was a surprisingly delightful combination. The Lemon Salmon Roll was very good, but could've benefited from a sauce. The Caliente and Golden Tiger Rolls were also tasty. I would return for more rolls, cold signature plates, and their Uni Pasta. They offer BOGO deals on certain rolls and have an attractive selection of liquors & cocktails. This is a classy location for celebrating.

Menu has a lot of upscale items but there are some deals to be had that helps your pocket book. Place was packed on this particular day but we managed to snag one of the last tables. We tried the Chirashi bowl. Salmon Avocado roll, Honeymoon roll, Super Dragon roll, and Tempura Udon. Food was good and the atmosphere felt like we were in a village which the family thought added to the ambience. Servers came often at the start but kinda disappeared at the end and had to flag for more hot water for the tea and also for the bill. It's a nice spot with street parking.

    YES it's AYCE The first thing I tried was the miso soup …read more.. it was so good ! Right away I knew the food was going to be delicious! They really pay attention to detail the mussels are easy to eat because they detach it from the shell I really appreciate that. The cuts of fish were perfect and they don't put a lot of rice . Super fresh delicious ! I The ice cream is also really delicious perfect texture and not too sweet ! Apparently it's so good that the couple next to my husband and me ordered their ice cream first. Also the servers were so friendly attentive and welcoming ! The chefs were also so nice when we arrived and left ! I say this because our former AYCE we had to stop because the service was terrible bad vibes. So I'm so glad we found this place .. I wanted to keep it a secret but they deserve the love and business . Are we coming back !?! Hellll yeah! LOL!
