There was plenty of space but I noticed people parked horribly here and all over the line. I parked further away just to avoid this. This spot is pretty small, maybe like 10 tables and booths. We got seated right away tho on a Friday evening. They have some good combos that combine ramen with appetizers or sushi. The ramen prices are pretty in line with most other spots. Food is decent, not the best but not the worst. Prob wouldn't go out of my way to come here but nothing to complain about either. While the waiter was very friendly he needs a little coaching on being aggressive with checking up on us. He prob came by the table every 5 minutes asking how everything was when there was clearly no need to and it was very disruptive for us as we were clearly trying to catch up with each other.

I tried the Curry Wagyu bowl and it was buy one get one free. I tried their curry tofu, wagyu bowl, eel egg rice and salmon sashimi bowl. They are all delicious and quick delivery.

It looks small when I went to pick up my food but hopefully next time I'll dine in for the experience.

We were familiar with the Chubby Franchise, so we were expecting some good grub. I'm glad to say the verdict is definitely on the positive side! We ordered chicken katsu curry, the wagyu steak rice bowl and the kiddo has his usual curry udon. All our dishes were delicious, although the clear winner was the wagyu steak rice bowl. The steak was thinly sliced and super fatty and had such great mouth-feel and really held the curry well. My kid had a little issue with his curry udon b/c he can't handle the spice level. Service was great. They were extremely patient as it was our first time there and we had a large party. We have a peanut allergy in our party and they made sure that none of the ingredients used for our dishes had any peanuts or cross contamination. At the time of this review, we had been back twice, and this place will definitely be on our rotation of good eats in the WCovina area!

Servers are very attentive about clearing plates and refilling water. Sushi deluxe was a great bite to share for two people. The baked salmon and crab roll was definitely my favorite!

Would love to try their lunch specials and their sparkling yuzu! Had a bev before this so I stuck to water this time

I've been here a handful of times and have tried both their omakase for special occasions and their…read moreSushi Deluxe Set, which has become my usual go-to for dinner. Sushi Deluxe Set: I personally prefer the 10 piece over the 12 piece. The additional two pieces are uni and ikura, and for me they aren't really worth the extra $10. The quality is consistently good, and the negitoro roll surprisingly exceeded my expectations! The set itself is also filling enough for dinner. The closest sushi spot I'd compare it to is Sushi Kisen (for sushi deluxe set not Omakase), and I'd say they're pretty on par in terms of quality. Omakase: Since there aren't many places offering omakase in the immediate area, this is a great option if you want to treat someone for a special occasion without having to venture far. I really liked the diversity of the menu and that the experience wasn't limited to just nigiri. Overall, a really solid neighborhood sushi spot that I've enjoyed enough to keep coming back considering if you don't want to drive far into LA for omakase.

I avoided this place since it opened because the lines were ridiculously long and I wasn't in a…read morerush to wait an hour for ramen. Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.

My favorite appetizers are always the popcorn chicken and crispy hot piping purple sweet potato fries!! Their ramen is also super yummy, but I prefer their tonkatsu omurice with curry sauce. Love the fluffy egg blanket over the rice on that dish. I also enjoy getting their omurice as a combo since it comes with a Thai tea! As for desserts, I can vouch for their matcha pudding and matcha tiramisu which were not too sweet :) I'm only giving them 4 stars bc it's slightly pricy and also I feel like as nice as the free coupons on the ramen bowl are if you win them, it's also a gimmick especially because you have to redeem it the next time you visit AND dine in. I feel like I have to come back and spend even more money to get my free item, so I feel a little robbed. Something for the restaurant to reconsider. Maybe allow customers to redeem their free item the day of their visit or allow us to redeem it to go instead of dine in. Overall super great restaurant though and everyone should try their food at least once!

Since the weather was hot and I was lazy to drive, I placed an order via Uber Eats.The order came on time as I scheduled it. Everything was packed very well. We got the following, -Mango lover roll 5/5 - Baked Green Mussels 5/5 - Shrimp Shumai 5/5 - Snowcone Roll 5/5 - Lemon Roll 5/5 - Snow White Roll 5/5 - Yellowtail Roll 5/5 - scallop Roll 5/5 Everything was fresh, delicious and flavorful. The lemon roll, mango lover roll , and snow white roll were my favorites. The lemon roll tasted zesty, citrusy and refreshing. I am a mango lover, so I really enjoyed the tropical mango taste which enriched the flavor. Snow White Roll was heavenly, very rich and savory. The shrimp shumai is another highlight. It was flavorful and juicy with perfect texture and perfect shrimp amount.Baked green mussels were savory and fresh we really had such a wonderful dinner. I will be back to try more rolls.

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

I ordered the sukiyaki beef. It also came with a sushi choice, and I chose the spicy albacore. I asked and she said it wasn't very spicy. It wasn't. The food came, and it was a lot. I really liked the miso soup. It had a good flavor and it wasn't overly salty like some I have had. I know it all depends on the type of miso they use. The salad came with a very good sesame dressing, the albacore was a very good quality, and it was just a tiny bit spicy. I really liked the sukiyaki as well. The beef was tender and. It was a tiny bit sweet, a tiny bit salty, just a great flavor. The fresh orange slices were a great way to finish off the meal. I finished with a Japanese fish shaped ice cream sandwich.
