Ordered from them many a time on Uber eats , amazing quality Wagyu and meat cuts, very plentiful and affordable for the portion and quality. Last 2 times I got the Wagyu short rib bowl, then I got the brisket bowl one time, I liked the Wagyu short rib better but the marinade on the brisket was still good. All time favorite would have to be the Wagyu meat lovers bowl because it had a combination of the short rib and skirt steak! Not too hard to find the place, the sign outside says Niku Catering it's on the corner of the building after you park. read more

Oki Niku Japanese Donburi - Wagyu Rice Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Irvine, California

I'm going out of my way to write this because an Uber Eats review alone would not properly reflect how bad this experience was. I ordered through Uber Eats using the buy one get one free deal. The total came out to $95 for four bowls and one appetizer. Yes, I understand Uber Eats inflates prices, so I compared the Uber Eats prices with the restaurant's own menu online. The difference was significant. I still bit the bullet because it was Uber Eats and because the two for one deal made it seem somewhat justifiable. That was a mistake. Now to the food. First, the bowls look decent in size at a glance, which initially made me think I got my money's worth. That illusion disappears quickly when you realize about three quarters of each bowl is just shredded cabbage or rice. And not good rice either. It was either extremely soggy or dry and hard depending on the bowl. Second, the wagyu garlic fried rice was a joke. It came with literally four thin slices of meat. I could not tell if it was wagyu at all. The meat was chewy, not tender, and completely underwhelming. The dish had zero flavor. No seasoning. No depth. Nothing. Even drowning it in sauce did not help. In fact, adding sauce just made it worse because of how greasy and oily the bowl already was. It became nauseating. At first, I thought maybe they took the supposed four to six ounces of Australian wagyu from one bowl and split it between both bowls to justify the two for one deal. After reading other reviews, it is clear this is a consistent issue and not a one off mistake. Third, the garlic fried rice tasted like cardboard. The spicy wagyu bowl my wife ordered somehow tasted worse. Wet cardboard. The rice was soaked and mushy, the meat was slightly more tender than mine but still completely flavorless. This place relies on inflated delivery pricing and gimmicky promotions to mask extremely low quality food and embarrassingly small protein portions. I will never order from here again. They could offer me a full refund plus extra money to take this review down and I would still refuse. read more

Ordered Wagyu garlic fried rice. In the menu picture the meat pieces are still intact, real slices of meat. They decided to just give me random scraps of beef that are millimeters in size, not even sure Wagyu, stir fried with rice that was so hard it must also have been random leftover rice in the freezer. It was probably one of the worst meals I have ever had. I hope the owner is not truly Japanese, because if they are they should be so ashamed of calling themselves Japanese for passing off this kind of behavior. read more

Oki Niku Japanese Donburi - Hilarious how the meat looks nothing like in the menu photos. This could be USDA choice flank steak for all I can tell. - Japanese Near Me - Irvine, California

Saw this place pop up on Yelp not too long ago so wanted to give it a try. The amount of food and meat in each bowl is very minimal which is sad given how expensive the food is. I know it's more of a higher end place but that doesn't mean you necessarily have to skimp especially with this type of food Would probably not come back until their portion sizes get bigger read more

It's comical how little meat was in my bowl. I literally had 3 strips and a few other tiny bits. Bowl didn't taste great either. Only ordered because Uber Eats had BOGO read more

Oki Niku Japanese Donburi - Very little meat - Japanese Near Me - Irvine, California

I've been wanting to Uber eats this place for a while but never got around to it until recently. I read the one not-so-great review and hoped it was a one off. Unfortunately, it was spot on. Granted, I've only tried this place once, and only the wagyu garlic fried rice, but it was enough to know I'll probably never go back. The positives: the garlic fried rice itself was good. Very garlicky, which I appreciated. The negatives: for $22, I'd expect more than the maybe the 3oz of beef that came with this. As the other 2 star review stated, the beef itself has very bland or perhaps no real seasoning. Doesn't even seem like there's salt or pepper on it. The meat was mostly tough and while I'd never expect real wagyu here (let alone something as buttery as A5/4 grade or even A3), this definitely seemed very low grade (probably usda select grade) and a cheap cut of beef. It's definitely something I'd not pay over $10 for. read more

Ordered this on Uber Eats, it's not worth it. For starters, we ordered 3 bowls, and the order only came with 2. The other items were incorrect and arrived extremely cold. The meat itself was tough, which is horrible considering the price and that it's Wagyu. Save yourself the trouble and pass on it. read more

I ordered a take out! The food arrived well packed and everything was impressive. It was delicious and the wagu beef is... what can I say? Perfect and the egg was equally delicious. read more

I ordered the Wagyu garlic fried rice via Doordash, and it was incredibly delicious. The beef was exceptionally tender and perfectly marinated. If you're in search of a great lunch option, this is definitely the place to try. read more

Oki Niku Japanese Donburi - WAGYU GARLIC FRIED RICE - Japanese Near Me - Irvine, California

First time I had this place was over a year and a half ago and back then it was decent, but today I ordered again and the bowl was nearly inedible. There was so much fat on the pieces, not rendered nicely so parts were still chewy, and not well seasoned either. Not sure what happened as I remember really liking these bowls when I first started ordering them. read more

Ordered the garlic wagyu beef bowl, but there was barely any wagyu at all -- just a few tiny pieces that were almost unnoticeable. The rice was extremely dry and hard, tasted like it had been sitting out for a long time. Overall, the dish was very poorly made and honestly hard to finish. For the price and the expectations that come with "wagyu," this was a huge disappointment. Definitely not coming back and wouldn't recommend. read more

I love their Wagyu Meat Dons! They are only available through food delivery apps but you do have the option to pick up the order from their storefront. They also occasionally have good deals on UberEats. read more

Wagyu garlic fried rice just not it. Haven't tried their other menus but this is very underwhelming especially given the expectations and hype around wagyu. Seasoning is bland and plain and the choice of cut of meat(they use super tough meat for the fried rice - poor basics) feels amateur. Only nice thing is the presentation of everything. To the owner or chef please add something acidic to balance out the fatty. read more

Love their beef brisket bowls. Their wagyu bowls taste dry imo. To bad it's not a dine in and you can only order it on food apps like post mate. For me I can't pick up, only order for delivery read more

Orders on Uber eats and was surprised by quality. This is take out only, looks like family run. High quality meat well marinated and people service - restaurant quality at a fraction of price. Will be back. Manager or owner was super kind in helping with accommodations with my order. read more

I ordered the wagyu fried rice and wagyu meat lover don. Both were really good, quality is great as well. Will definitely order again!
