    Chicken Gyoza
    Bienvenido A.

    Ambience not so loud being in a food court. Service is quick. Staff friendly and warm. Gyoza looked dry but not after taking a bite. It's actually soft and delicious and so is the beef teriyaki. Veggies tender but still has some crunchiness. Cooking time allowed it to caramelize and developed right amount of sweetness. Shrimp tempura ok. On the dry side and did not taste so fresh. Enjoyable quick dinner and will come back again to try other items.

    Satisfied customers!

    Was offered a sample of the chicken and hubby and I decided to try the teriyaki chicken plates with noodles, rice, and veggies. Before we got our food, the cook greeted us. We received our food and began to dig in. Minutes later, we had finished everything. Loved the food and will definitely come back again!

    Japanese Fried Chicken
    Tania T.

    Located in Tyler's food court, next to Panda. The Japanese fried chicken is cooked very nicely. It's akin to popcorn chicken. They cut it bite-sized so the pieces of chicken are easy to eat, crispy, and juicy inside. The spicy mayo sauce is a little watered down and very thin. But the chicken is seasoned nicely and has its flavor. Self-service order and beware, the machine asks for a tip after you place your order. Ambiance is consistent of any other food court within a mall. Plenty of seats.

    The food is pretty good and I came closet to when they were first open. I would say the service was pretty good, but nothing really stood out. There is something missing that would just really make it sing but it's a good overall teriyaki chicken dish. It's in the mall so the ambiance is very casual.

    Cockroach running on the counter

    Went to order food here and saw this cockroach run through and hide in the food area! I brought it up to the employee and they simply brushed me off and said who cares, this is disgusting!!!

    Yoshiharu Ramen - SOFT OPENING ON 4/21

    Yoshiharu is beautifully decorated and well organized dining room. Stepping in from the outside…read moretransports you to an inviting and relaxing experience. Staff happily greets you upon arrival. Nice offering of Shio, Shoyu, Miso, Tonkatsu or Chicken ramen. Noodles are perfectly cooked with the perfect bite, firm, springy and chewy.. Gyozas are piping hot with a crispy wrapper. Although the filling was a little mushy. Green tea ice cream is nice and creamy balanced with the matcha flavor. Over all an enjoyable experience and service.

    As we walked by, wasn't even sure it was open - no interior lights on, no window signage stating…read moreopen, landlord padlock on the Entrance Door.... but I judged the door and it opened... one of the staff welcomed us and I stated that we weren't sure if they were open... Anyway... After perusing through the menu, which had quite a few blacked out items (black tape applied over the menu item) we both decided on the Tonkatsu Spicy Black Ramen Noodles as well a the Crispy Fried Rice appetizer... the appetizer was delivered but I had to request some small individual plates so that we could eat off of our own plate, rather than reaching over trying to share the same plate and making a mess on the table... no worries, small oversight (or so I thought at the time)... Next came the Ramen... Looked very appetizing, but again I had to get up and request a couple of soup spoons... went to dig in, and while the bottom of the bowl was warm, the broth itself was quite cold... after calling over the waitress and asking them to please reheat (even if they had to use the microwave)... the waitress took it back to the "open" kitchen and they used the microwave to reheat... The bowls were returned and as we started to eat, satisfied that the broth was indeed hot, we noticed a couple of items missing: the corn - no corn in the broth like it was described... in addition to that, no Wood Eared Mushrooms were in the broth either... the wood eared mushrooms set the "black" apart from the standard ramen and cost $.50 more per serving... when questioned about it, the hostess informed us that they didn't have any mushrooms... as a consolation, she offered us one of the "extra price" toppings in place if it... we opted for the tofu... a bowl of tofu pieces came out and although they appeared to have steam coming off of it, the tofu was cold as well... smh... The hostess returned them to to kitchen to be reheated... We received a 10% discount ($4.90 of of a $49 bill)... Not sure if they're going to make it with this level of service and food quality... Good Luck!

    Flavor, service, Ambiance was amazing. John was our server…read more He was attentive and kind. He assisted us on our first time visit. The broth flavor was amazing. I suggest asking for the half miso and half spicy (not spicy at all) but so flaverful. We will be back!

    SAME RESTAURANT AS TAIYO'S SUSHI & POKI…read more We were heading back from Joshua Tree to OC and got immense cravings for something soupy. It was either eat in Riverside or wait one more hour and have a late night dinner. We decided to eat in Riverside despite knowing their limited soup options so we wouldn't have to eat too late. We got to the spot around 8:30ish but we couldn't find a place that was labelled Shabu Garden so we circled around for a couple of minutes before realizing that Taiyo's Sushi & Poki was what we were looking for. Not sure why they have different names, but it looks like they're under new ownership so I guess they haven't had the chance to change their name? On Sunday evenings, they close at 9:30pm, so I honestly wasn't sure they were going to accept us. Luckily for us, they still accepted our walk-in and we were seated promptly. They have 3 AYCE options: AYCE shabu, AYCE sushi, AYCE sushi & shabu, and they also have a premium option of AYCE sashimi. The prices seemed quite reasonable for sushi and hot pot at $41.99 but considering the time that we had until the last call (9PM), we just opted for the shabu and ordered as many meats as we could. The servers were extremely attentive knowing that we didn't have much time until the last call so they brought out a total of 3 rounds of meat. The owner or the manager (couldn't tell) graciously offered to freshly fry any shrimp tempura that we wanted, and we were so grateful for that. Just note that there are only 3 types of broth to choose from: original, spicy, miso They have a buffet section for the veggies, noodles, and seafood. The selection is decent. They had my usual favorites like spinach, mushrooms, napa cabbage, clams, and they even had crab. The hot foods section consisted of fried foods such as fried calamari, fried shrimp tempura, etc. I can't say too much about the buffet section since we arrived there late, but we basically cleaned up majority of it. Meats were decent. No wagyu for sure. There's not a lot of selection but for the price you're paying ($31.99/pp), I'm not complaining. I'd say the pricing and value you get from this spot matches with the quality of food provided. If it were pricier, than I would prefer just getting my shabu fix in OC. The next time we're in the area, we hope to try the AYCE shabu + sushi option.
