Super solid smash burger! We got a double of the classic burger (I wish I could handle spicy cause…read morethe jalapeño one looked good!) It was tasty and delicious. I wish the bits were crispier and more smashed but it's one of the best you can find on the peninsula. We also got the French fries. Pretty standard frozen fries that were fried well. I would call before you go because they happened to be doing a pop up at fieldworks when we went so we had driven to the wrong spot. Prices also are fair and not expensive! Just expect a long line depending where they are. Try not to look at the dirt and grease caked on their equipment though....

It was easy using their website to send in inquire for the catering event. It's important to be detailed on what you want, where the location willl be and how many people you plan to have. Day of the event chef rod was texting me asking me a couple follow up questions to ensure food came correctly! He came on time and had everything ready to go. It was quite delicious and we barely had any left overs. I felt that the price was affordable and a service I would do again.

Pork sisig w/ lumpia: My niece's liked this but didn't like the lumpia. I even tried it, it didn't taste like lumpia shanghai. It tasted healthier and had an after taste. The sauce didn't help make it any better. 2. Street taco: pork sisig and beef steak, both were tasty. Overall, food wasn't bad and was reasonably priced

I usually hit up Santouka (the ramen shop next to this establishment) during my Mitsuwa runs, but…read moredecided to give this place a go since I was craving Katsu curry. Had an overall mixed experience. Simple and easy to understand self-order kiosk. Ordered the Takoyaki Special with 5 regular and 5 negi mayo. The negi mayo was definitely the highlight, really flavorful and easily the better of the two. Also had the chicken katsu omelette curry, which was honestly kind of a disappointment. It tasted fine, but it did not live up to the expectations set by the visuals shown by their menu - it looked like what was visually advertised. The omelette was overcooked, and the katsu was overdone and inconsistent, with some pieces coming out pretty tough. Overall, the takoyaki was solid but the curry missed the mark.

We thought the portion would be a bit bigger for its price, but it's alright. The flavors are good, but a little bit on the saltier side. Overall, it was still a delicious meal. Make sure to get some rice on the side for the left over sauce!

Meaning you place your order and pay through their QR code menu. Even though it was self-serve, the staff was friendly and they came to check in on our table a couple of times to refill our drinks. The food was fantastic! As soon as you park you can smell the smoker going and it makes your mouth water. I ordered the ribs with a side of beef and beans and Mac and cheese. The cornbread comes with the platter. Ribs were St. Louis style with the bits of cartilage at the end that I really love to chew on. Meat was delicious and fall off the bone. Bbq sauce is ok the sweet side by balances well with a few drops of hot sauce. Portions are very health. The beans were delicious and almost reminded me of chili. Mac and cheese was on point. Overall I highly recommend checking them out. Whether you are in the area or just looking for a great bbq joint in the bay, Jackie's place won't disappoint. For the vegetarians, try their jackfruit "pulled pork" bowl! Also their desserts selection is amazing. Will have to come back to try their peach cobbler and lemon pie!

I have tried the Tsukune twice now, a tasty meatball creation. Today I also had the Bara Tama, pork belly with thick slices of onion. They are both savory delights but the sweet of the onion paired with the salt of the pork belly and a dab of horseradish mustard makes it my new favorite! It's also over 90 degrees out today and the guy is cooking under a pop up in the parking lot, committed to his craft!

Ever since I went to Japan last year, I crave delicious yakitori from a charcoal grill in the Bay Area and always seek out new places to try. I finally tried Okibiyaki-Kikuchi as a yakitori pop-up at ShaKa brewing after eyeing it for a long time. The grilled meat skewers were so delicious and enjoyable to eat with a cold beer flight from ShaKa brewing. The chef is a master of yakitori. I tried hatsu, kalbi, shishito, kimo, and bara tama. I can describe a perfect night like this. A perfect night included skewers from the live ember grill by the master chef and a beer flight. The flavors are legit-- the process of preparing the meat is impressive, and the technique with the charcoal grill brings out the best flavors. The Bay Area is treated to authentic flavors like in Japan. It is recommended that should arrive to the pop-up early as they ran out of the chicken skewers. I will absolutely order the chicken skin and thigh again and again. I also tried his pop up at Clandestine Brewery as well. The quality is so consistent and delicious. I like the vibe of eating like in a picnic style outdoors with a cold glass of beer. Nothing beats that for me. Follow @okibiyaki_kikuchi on IG to see where he pops up next.

The interior is a small shop, with a welcoming, friendly gal to take your order. Big guy in the rear is the bbq chef. You order there and go outside to pick up your food and/or sit outside to eat. The seating area offers plenty of chairs and tables with shade or without. It was February and a bit chilly and windy. In short time our food was ready. We had the pleasure of smelling it all the way home to Placerville. The ribs were big, meaty, soft and tender. There was a delicious spice and flavor that you really didn't need the bbq sauce (provided) on it at all. My husband and I ate our first couple without the sauce and then he ate a few more with the sauce. These ribs were delicious! We paid $30 for a full rack of ribs and $16 for the Turkey leg. We know where to go when craving ribs. Nicely done here.
