    This was my first time here. It wasn't busy when we arrived, though it did take a bit longer than expected to get our order. I ordered the Island Fire Chicken to go. The portion size was generous and came with rice, veggies, and macaroni salad. Everything had good flavor, and despite the name, it wasn't spicy in my opinion. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and would come back.

    Couple weeks ago I had a take out order and my order was missing around $15 worth of food When I called the location I requested store credit as I lived far away and could not go back to pick up missing items The manager stated she could not give me store credit as that is not how they operate She said I either go back to pick up the food I was missing as she knew they had missed to place in bag and the food items we're sitting on their counter No other option for me. I told her I would call corporate and she said, call they are not honoring your request I filed a complaint online to corporate and no one has responded She was right, no one has responded because they most likely will not honor my request They kept my $15 Thief's!

    Rawwwwwww chicken and shrimp tasted old. Food use to always be good at this location .

    Great place for pick up. Place is very clean. We ordered the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Dish and the BBQ Beef Dish. My favorite is the chicken. The meat is so tender and I liked the marinate. Both came with rice, macaroni salad and veggies. The veggies are cooked perfect. The grilled Spam Musubis are the perfect size meal for my daughter. We enjoyed it!

    Great food! The food is is decently priced and the portions are pretty big and filling! I had the chicken combo that I shared and the the macaroni and rice were amazingly good! I also loved eating the chicken with the veggies and cooked cabbage! Very yummy!!! The restaurant was nice and clean! The staff was nice and friendly and service overall was quick! Definitely going back!

Ordered the Pineapple Coconut Wontons and here comes another problem. She then was having issues with the register ringing up my order for me to pay. My order was done before I paid, because of the system, taking it's time...I guess. When my total popped up on the screen, it was much higher than I expected. Then I realized, it auto populated a tip on there. Anyone not paying attention, can easily miss that, and I'm one of those people that goes through prompts fast. But I knew my total should have been in the $8 range and it was $10 and some change. When I took the tip off, it went back down to $8. They are one of those places, that charge for using a card as well. On the other hand, the wontons were good.

Today's order was: bbq beef: marinated savoriness and tender; short rib (bit of an up charge) grilled perfectly with tender, juicy, well marbled bites; and teriyaki chicken that's always moist. Mac salad is luxuriously creamy that compliments the rich and savory meats, while rice sops up the delicious sauces. Heck, I'm a sucker for the bed of cabbage for the same reason! You just can't go wrong here. Friendly, fast, delicious, and fairly priced. It's what keeps us coming back.

The fact that it's all the way in Big Bear makes it even more surprising because the fish is always so fresh and the flavors are, of course, amazing. This is genuinely one of the highlights of every trip when I get the chance to come here. I've tried a few of the bowls and they've all been solid, but the Kraken is definitely my go-to. The fish, flavors, and toppings all work so well together. I love everything about this bowl and find myself thinking about it even when I'm nowhere near Big Bear. I'm also glad they were able to move into a bigger location because the old one was much smaller. It can still get PACKED though. On our most recent visit, we came around 3:30 pm on a Monday during the last week of December and waited about 45 minutes to order, then another 20 minutes for our food. They have a self-order kiosk now, which helps keep things moving, but I'd still be prepared for a wait when it's busy. Considering how good the food is, I completely understand why so many people are here. The staff deserves a mention too. They're always so kind, welcoming, and high-energy, which makes the experience even better despite how busy it can get. I seriously love Tropicali. It's wild to me that some of my favorite poke is all the way up in Big Bear, but I always look forward to the next time I can come back. Absolutely worth the wait every time.

    There's like 3 businesses in Rodeo X and clearly this is the crowd favorite (unless people don't…read morewant beer super early on a Sunday brunch/lunch). Plenty of parking in the plaza since it's huge, but it can get quite busy (mostly looks like people for Starbucks and the grocery store though). Rodeo X was mostly empty when I went, hopefully it picks up because man that was sad to see. Maybe food halls weren't the answer to the economy (looking at you Haven City and Blossom Market Hall amongst others). Anyways, there were 2 families there and another person ordering to go and they all had food from Shootz. Really says a lot about how it's a crowd favorite. There was no line when I ordered and they called my name to pick up my order fairly quickly. I believe they have an app, or the very least you can order ahead of time for pick up. For my lunch, I got the: 1) Mint Peach Limeade: -No ice or sweetness adjustments, I got it as is and it's from an ever flowing machine at the front next to the register. Similar to those machines that cycle through lemonade at Hot Dog on a Stick. Got this immediately. -Not bad. Like slightly milky sweet peach drink with a subtle mint after taste. Pretty unique, the reason why I immediately resonated with wanting to order it. 2) Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken: -I got this spicy. -Comes with 2 decently sized cut slabs of chicken katsu. Super juicy, deliciously crisp exterior. Covered in their signature kimchi butter all over the chicken and their rice. It was to the point where I JUST picked it up and some was already coagulating on the edge of the to go box. -Mega indicator of how rich and indulgent, and likely not healthy for you but delicious as a fried food treat once in awhile. -Generous portions of crisp green onions and furikake on top. -Each bite was rich and delicious. Usually rice is just a carb to help with the savory and salty intake of a protein, but it was also made really addicting with the kimchi butter. There's a slight kick from the spice, but nothing substantial. Some of that spicy powder was also on top of the mac salad (also rich and delicious). -Easily lots of butter, mayo, etc. used so of course it's going to be mega good. I had to stop myself from inhaling the dish so I can take some back for my family to try too. Good stuff, I'd definitely come back, probably with others, hopefully at a closer location to try more of their menu (it's limited but they're super good at what they do) and eat more of their deliciously decadent and filling food.

    The good: The best katsu chicken I've ever had!! (They also have shrimp but I haven't tried it)…read more The sauce is great and the rice is perfect. Large portions. The cashiers and workers are nice, work hard, and the food comes out fast. It seems like most of their business is online ordering for pick up. Everything behind the counter and in the kitchen was spotless. The not-so good: The restaurant is located inside a food court and there are no signs outside the building that name the restaurants that are inside. We had to turn on Maps to find the location. I'm not sure if the tables inside are cleaned by the individual restaurants or are cleaned by a food court employee... but we had to check for sticky tables when trying to find a seat. The Mac salad has tuna in it. It's not to my liking but my husband really enjoyed it. I highly recommend splitting a combo plate(s) with your favorite person and try to avoid leftovers. The reheated katsu and rice just isn't the same as when it's fresh.... So even with having to check the tables - I do recommend eating at the food court for the freshest and tastiest experience
