They also cleaned the tables rather slowly after patrons were finished. I think extra staff to help or better organization would be good. The ramen was pretty good. I wish my noodles were more al dente though. The gyoza was just okay. Would come back again if we're in the area and hopefully they will be better organized.

This was such a great restaurant for a Sunday lunch! My family and I all wanted different things…read morebut we all agreed on Japanese cuisine. We were seated in a cozy booth and our server took our drink orders. Pop music from the 90s/2000s blasted from the speakers but it created a fun ambiance! We ordered hot sake, Sapporo beer, chicken karaage, gyoza, yellowtail carpaccio, a chicken teriyaki bento box, tonkatsu ramen, and two different rolls (Baja and Bomb Diggity). Everything came out paced well and our server was awesome. We never went without and we were checked on plenty of times. Food was fantastic - the yellowtail tasted so fresh and the sushi rolls were "bomb diggity"!! Everyone enjoyed their meals and I wouldn't hesitate to return to try different items from their menu. There is literally something for everyone but the menu also isn't overwhelming. Parking was easy and plentiful on a Sunday afternoon. This was a 5-star meal for sure.

I almost didn't want to leave a review because the service was great but I do kind of have to share…read moremy experience because it was pretty unacceptable. Firstly, I do want to thank the staff here, they were incredibly courteous, polite, professional, kind and communicative with us. This kind of service is rare these days and while my experience was made a lot better because of their empathetic response, I still think the quality of food needs attention. To start, this spot is at a convenient location - right next to Regal theaters, plenty of parking nearby and none of that street parking metered crap. Definitely a plus. Prices are not cheap, rolls run you about $18 and the size was pretty small. We got a protein roll and a dragon roll as the menu indicates you buy one get one half off. Dragon roll was the skinniest, tiniest, most petite roll I've ever seen in my life and just felt like they cheaped out on it, which is kind of crazy since it's basically just a California roll... imitation crab is insanely cheap, it's not even real crab. Anyway... I ordered a Tonkotsu Ramen, plain - only egg & protein and when it was served to us, all I saw was a puddle of grease on top. For those who are unaware, Tonkotsu literally translates to pork bones, so while it is definitely a hearty/fatty broth, it shouldn't have a visibly separated layer of grease on top. You know when you reheat fettuccini alfredo and the oil separates in the microwave? It looked like that. I've tried various tonkotsu ramens - some better than others btw feel free to DM me for suggestions although the locations are not in close range - but none have had that visible grease layer. To be honest, I'm not really one to send things back, although I have picked up on the habit of not accepting crap food lately, so I didn't really mention anything to the waiter regarding the ramen. I slurped my noodles, ate my egg and chashu - both were OK. The chashu was seared and hard to eat, not the usual melt-in-your-mouth deal, and left the bland, greasy broth behind. Sucks because my favorite part of ramen is, of course, the broth. That's really the whole point. Moving on... I noticed my friend stopped eating her protein roll so I was like what's up? She looked at me a little worried and said she thought the salmon was off. I scrunched my face and was like dammit now I have to try this to make sure. Smell was not off, but took a bite of the salmon and that thing was bitter. We told the waiter and he was apologetic and said he'd talk to the kitchen. They said the fish came in yesterday and while I believe them, and could easily blame the heat we've been dealing with recently, we still felt unsafe finishing the food. I appreciate them showing concern for the issue with the food and no reports of food poisoning so far - been like two days now so I'm sure we're fine. Brings me to our total of about $50. Damn. I know sushi and ramen aren't typically cheap items but the quality was nowhere near standard and unfortunately this experience was enough to dissuade me from coming back. I don't want to nitpick, but I just like giving peeps details on certain things so their experience may not come as a surprise, but the general atmosphere of this spot was also a bit... different. They were playing loud music, I recall hearing 500 Miles by the Proclaimers super loud and I was kind of like dang man it feels like I'm right in the heart of Tokyo... /s There are much, much, much better spots for ramen and for sushi, there is literally an actual Japanese restaurant right across the street from Kopan and I'd bet money you'd get way better food for more or less the same price there. Also Burger Bun is in the same plaza, place is also fire, I'll drop that review separately. TL;DR: food bad, expensive, fish off, service good, decent parking, convenient location

This has been a long standing restaurant, it's now a hole in the wall…read more There are several tables and the service is rather quick. We came here for lunch and there were lots of options to choose from. I got the Shrimp wonton and the flavor excited my tastebuds and filled my stomach.

FOO FOO TEI IS GONE FORVER…read more With a heavy heart, I'm giving Foo Foo Tei one star. This spot was an absolute favorite. True Japanese food, music, and manga. It wasn't just the ramen that was good, it was every goddamn thing on their extensive menu. The owners were so friendly and it always felt so homey. Congratulations but also very sad that they have retired. It's been sold off to some assholes who are destroying the legacy of Foo Foo Tei. Literally check all the recent one star reviews. There's a reason it's basically never open no matter what hours are posted. Bad bad food. Chef Murakami was so particular about the quality of his food. Honestly so sad I never got to eat there one last time before I found out it is gone forever I miss Foo Foo Tei sooooo much.

Found this restaurant when looking for a sushi place that is open late. On Fridays and Saturdays,…read morethis place is open until 11pm. Fortunately, my husband and I walked in around 9pm and there were plenty of open tables, so we were seated immediately. Service was quick, welcoming, and friendly. Between the two of us, we shared a Baked Salmon Roll, Mango Special Roll, Rainbow Battera, and Salmon & Ikura Donburi. Everything tasted delicious. The baked salmon roll was very creamy and savory, whereas the mango special roll was sweet and indulgent. As for the rainbow battera, the flavors of each fish really stood out in every bite. With the donburi, the salmon tasted clean and fresh, making it a good contrast to the salty ikura. The seasoned sushi rice and seaweed salad created the perfect balance to the bowl. This is the place to go for high-quality Japanese food with a broad menu that caters to everyone. The menu has plenty of traditional sushi options as well as more inventive ones. If you are not feeling fish or sushi, they even offer entrees like chicken katsu, beef short rib, ramen, udon, sukiyaki, and more.

Interior decor reminds me of ramen shops in Japan. Unfortunately, I think there may have been staff shortages the day I went because one person was pretty much handling all the customers and you can tell the service wasn't up to standards compared to other reviews. There were delays in drinks, food, and also customer turnover. I don't blame the worker because he tried his best to accommodate everyone. Food The lunch combo does come with an appetizer and drink which is nice. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and the sauce was ok, didn't really mesh well with the flavors. The ramen was actually pretty good. You can taste the layers of flavors: chicken, mushroom, shoyu. Chicken breast was also cooked perfectly and not dry. Egg was runny in the middle and had good flavor. Overall I think the food is a solid 7.5/10 and service was subpar.

I recently came across Tokyo Garden near Rowland Heights / City of Industry and had to check it…read moreout. As soon as you walk in, you get that cozy Japanese vibe -- it's the kind of place where you want to sit back and enjoy your meal. The menu is huge. They have sushi, sashimi, appetizers, and so much more. I wanted to try everything, so I had major decision paralysis. The Tokyo Sashimi comes with 24 pieces of sashimi, served on individual little plates. It included big pieces of uni and salmon belly. The uni wasn't fishy at all -- it was sweet and creamy. We also ordered two Fatty Specials. Each one comes with three kinds of fish belly: toro, salmon, and yellowtail. The fat just melts in your mouth. With a little soy sauce and wasabi, and rice at the perfect temperature, it was delicious. The Alaskan roll was also a hit -- crab meat and avocado rolled together. I couldn't stop eating it. For drinks, we got two cocktails: - Coconut Sake Colada: tropical and creamy, with pineapple's sweet-tart flavor, coconut, and the rice notes from the sake. - Soju Sunset: lighter and more refreshing, like a cool-down for your palate. It also looked great in photos. Pro tip: they have some solid deals: 1. Monday-Thursday: buy one beer, get a second for $1. 2. Special rolls: buy one, get one 50% off. 3. Online orders: 10% off. Overall, fresh fish, good cocktails, and great deals. I'll definitely be back.

Kopan Sushi & Ramen in Rowland Heights always hits!…read more There is a closer location, but I enjoyed dining at this one. My wife and I have dined here a few times and other visits with my cousins. The parking near the entrance are usually occupied and some of spots in the lot are compact so just an FYI. The location is nice and the staff will acknowledge you as you walk in. There are a number booths for intimate seating. There is a sushi bar towards the back of location and also bigger tables for larger groups. Kopan offers a lot of various items from the sushi, sushi rolls, ramen, curry and even a limited time wagyu menu. Each visit has been a positive one. Some days have BOGO 50% on rolls. The quality of the sushi rolls is fresh and nicely presented. On a few recent trips, we tried the Wagyu Uni Sushi which was insane! I tried the Chicken Curry Katsu which was delicious. Served on a hot stone and full of flavorful curry with a large cut of chicken katsu. Overall, the menu options and a good quality service make this location a stand out. Thanks, Kopan Ramen! ( ^_^)b
