    I came here for lunch around 1 o'clock and it was never too busy. There was plenty of parking space in the lot. The customer service was always good. The asked me if I wanted any extra condiments and reminded me to grab some utensils. The bento boxes are so worth it! I got the teriyaki chicken plate which came with chicken rice, a side salad, 4 CA roll pieces, and some tempura. The chicken wasn't dry at all and you also got the option to choose which type of salad you wanted. I was also able to ask for all vegetable tempura. I love the CA rolls and the tempura as well. It tasted pretty fresh and not like it was sitting out. This place is definitely worth trying if you're looking for a cheap and quick lunch. :)

    I give this place a very well earned 3.5 stars. I got the beef teriyaki lunch plate that came with salad, half a California roll, and tempura. The teriyaki was marinated well so if you like to add teriyaki sauce to your meat you won't need much if any. For the salad you get your choice of 3 plus a choice of around 5-6 salad dressings. The tempura was ok and had its own dipping sauce. Inside the place was clean and the service was pretty quick. I'm sure I'll be back again

    3.5 Stars This place is located on the south side of Arrow Hwy, west of Irwindale Avenue. It's right next to Pitas To Go. They open at 10:00AM which was convenient for me because I was going to pick up food and have an early lunch with my friend who works down the street. I came here yesterday to pick up lunch to go. My friend wanted Beef Teriyaki ($6.50) and I decided to go with Chicken & Beef Teriyaki ($6.50). I added the 4-pieces of California Roll for an added $2.50 to our meals. It also came with a side salad and there were a few dressing to pick from. With tax, our total was $19.58. The man who took my order had a Korean accent so I asked him if they were Korean and immediately he seemed to warm up to me. My husband is half so I used a few of the Korean words I knew. LOL My to-go order was ready within 5 minutes. I thought both the beef and chicken teriyaki were pretty good. Next time I would ask for the sauce on the side though because there was too much for my liking. He did give me the option to put it on the side and I should have went with it! The California Rolls were just okay though. I've had better and these fell apart when I tried to pick it up with my chopsticks. Overall, decent food for a decent price. (We're in Irwindale after all.....) 28/100 Reviews 2017

    Chicken teriyaki & mandarin salad w/sesame dressing. Yum

    I used to come here pre-pandemic and their teriyaki sauce was spot on delicious. I loved ordering the chicken teriyaki plate with mandarin salad & sesame dressing. Just came back here for lunch after many many months, expecting the same great quality I experienced before but something changed. The chicken seemed bland. The teriyaki sauce was dull. It was slightly more gelatinous. It lacked the sweetness and pow it previously had. So sad because this was once one of my favorite places nearby. I hope he improves the quality of the plate so I can come back for more. Just finished eating it and I'm still craving the old recipe.

    Great food

    Really good service we had a small misunderstanding on the credit card bill but it got cleared up easily the food is great the prices are amazing. If your looking for great food with excelente customer service this is the place to be.

    Really good sushi at a reasonable price. They have lots of variety, from $9 bento boxes to $6 rolls and rice dishes. It's a great place for people to go during lunch break, especially on a nice day where people can sit outside. I've tried the spicy tuna, the crunch (tempura shrimp), and the salmon rolls, which are delicious. The curry and teriyaki rice dishes and bento boxes are a big pricey, but they are all very filling.

My rolls arrived at 7:40 and the salmon on them was icy cold. The table next to us received their salmon frozen... It baffles me that the sushi "chef" had managed to cut the salmon and fail to realize that it was frozen. I've spent so much time waiting for my last item (appetizer) to arrive that I figured I would write out the review now. This place is in the area and I figured I would give it a try. Do not make the same mistake I did. This place is empty for a reason. Now I get to go home hungry and moderately upset. Update: 8:05pm, I do not want the appetizer. I'm leaving.

We both have never tried Japanese style curry and the pictures looked absolutely delicious. Located in the busy downtown Covina area nightlife is loud and busy, in a good way! If you're looking to park near the restaurant, come with plenty of time as street parking, especially during the night is hard to come across. Although, they do have a parking structure that's just about a block away, which is not much of a walk! It's a very small restaurant with not much seating, but we didn't have to wait much on a Friday night-15 minutes max but they do have a Yelp sign up. If you know you're coming I recommend you do this. We were seated, and I should mention that the hospitality was amazing! My husband and I were well taken care of and all of our questions answered. Whenever we try a new spot that looks as good as this we try to get a little bit of everything. As you see from the pictures, we had lots to try from and I can safely say that I will be back to try a lot more! The food was super juicy, meats were tender, the sushi was delicious...... I left absolutely stuffed! My husband says this is easily one of his new favorite spots :)

There aren't many ramen places where you can grab a bowl without leaving your car, which makes this local gem a convenient option when you're craving something warm and comforting. I tried the miso ramen, and while it was good, I think I'll explore a different broth next time. The noodles were decent, but I prefer the regular wavy noodles and would order those instead. I also added extra bok choy and was hoping it would be cooked a bit more, but it was still enjoyable. The broth was rich and satisfying, though I'd love a little more bamboo shoot and some added spice to really bring everything together. And maybe more mushrooms. The customer service was friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain the differences between the broths, which I appreciated. While this wasn't my perfect bowl of ramen, it was still a solid dinner, convenient, comforting, and exactly what I needed on a cool night. I'll definitely be back to customize my bowl a little differently and see if I can find my favorite combination.

All the human workers were scrambling around which told me they were "behind". I asked a worker about my phone order and she told me five minutes and took my payment. 35 minutes later I'm still waiting among the crowd who are also waiting to be seated. Workers are scrambling around like they just got trained that day. Confused looks and panic ruled the evening. Workers continued to jog past me to handing out drinks and trays of items and never checking back in with the small crowd. Confusion over clarity remained the theme as large parties asked why they haven't been seated yet. Small parties asked when they would be seated and I waited for (1) roll. A purely bad experience from start to finish from a place I've enjoyed in the past. The moral of the story is to expect the unexpected. Even though I've had pleasant experiences in the past here, I have to report the details of this visit based on its own merits and not prior visits. I ended up with my roll and it seemed like it was sitting back there somewhere ignored, like the groups waiting to be seated. It seemed not so fresh and like it was made 25 minutes earlier.
