    Steak cooked perfectly I chose noodles over the rice for an additional charge. Sauces are all great! Food truck was at my work so it was great to try something new! Definitely recommend

    Food tastes authentic and service is fantastic! Make sure to try out their sauces!! Dream sauce pair up real nice

    Food is amazing! Make sure to try out their Dream sauce!! Pairs up real nice with all their meats

    Trio plate-- NY steak, chicken, shrimp

    If you are lucky enough to see this food truck around town I highly recommended you order a plate from them!! I live at City Lights in Aliso Viejo, so I get excited when these guys pull up their truck every other month or so! The plates initially seem expensive but it is SO worth it! The quality is absolutely insane and you get a TON of food! Their filet is so tender and when I ask for medium rare they cook it perfectly! The sauces also...omg the sauces are soooo good The owner Eddie is the nicest person and makes sure the quality of the food as well as service is top notch. And he's cute A+++ all around!

    Sailor Bowl - $15

    Overall good service and flavorful food. Tried a sailor bowl at the NHHS football game - $15. Includes a drink. I read the previous reviews comparing this place to Benihana's. It's similar but not the same. They offer a ginger sauce, however no garlic butter! There is no show, and no extras included with the meals. Their Trio was the most popular dish - $39

    Benihana definitely has some competition... I couldn't stop eating their fried rice Sad that they were out of scallops when I arrived, but it was late and so I opted for the shrimp hibachi. Zero regrets!! Waited about 15 min for my food but it was worth it. They had 3 sauces on the side that you can add to your food to elevate taste, but none of them are really necessary. I personally loved the ginger sauce to dip the shrimp in. Service was wonderful! It's basically a 3-man show working the food truck. They were super friendly, funny, and really approachable. 100% a fan and can't wait for their return to our apartments.

The coating was tasty, the chicken was juicy, and the sauce with a little bit of lemon was exquisite. For the main dish, I went a little bold and tried their Chicken Katsu with Umeboshi Sauce and Shiso inside the katsu. May sound kind of odd, but the combination of flavors was both fresh and bold. Service at the restaurant was solid and I don't think there was a moment where my water wasn't full. The restaurant itself was quite big and I was surprised by how many tables/people could be seated. 100% would come back to try some of the other katsu options.

Ordered another pork katsu set for my older son to go. He enjoyed it. So so so good! What a gem!!!! Beautiful woodsy ambiance. Staff were Japanese. An authentic experience. Will definitely be back.

    Randomly decided to try this place with the wife last night…read more I remembered there being a spot called mogu mogu here prior and confirmed with the waitress that it's the same menu! Spicy miso ramen: 9/10 Actually one of the better ramens I've had lately. The broth is creamier and isn't overpowering with chicken/beef flavor. The chashu was nice and tender as well. I really liked that their noodles were al dente and not too soft Deluxe mazemen: 8/10 Taking my first bite, I was instantly greeted with an explosion of umami. There's a LOT of flavor packed in this bowl and the noodles used are actually a bit thicker which is right up my alley. My only drawback on this dish was that I wished it came with some sort of veggies to cut through all the flavor. They also give you a small serving of rice at the end for you to mix into the bottom which was a nice addition Kurobota sausage: 7.5/10 We've recently been on a kurobota craze. Don't get me wrong, these were great but we've only had them charred and grilled before so I was taken aback when I saw that these were only steamed. Flavor was spot on but I'm a sucker for a nice char or crisp to my meat Overall, loved the service and small restaurant vibe of this spot.

The interior is cozy and small with authentic Japanese decorations/setup. Kinda felt like we were eating in Kyoto or something, lol. The lady who served us was friendly and gave us good recommendations. I think she was handling the whole operation to be honest. To start it off, we ordered their specialty chicken karaage and it was very delicious. It has a nice crispy and crunchy texture. The batter on the chicken was good and once you bite it, the meat is juicy and tender. Doesn't really need dipping since it's so good. As for the Mazemen, we ordered the Deluxe and Veggie one, both is a 5/5. Very flavorful and it tastes just like ramen, but without the soup. The presentation of the dish looks like a work of art. Very picture pretty. I ate that shit up within ten minutes. After that they give you a scoop of rice so you can mix it up with the leftover sauce. Lots of umami for sure. Definitely will come back again to try the other flavors. People, trust me and come through!

The person taking our order was patient with us as we ordered even as we were dealing with our toddler. Our requests were accommodated respectfully and to the best they could!

The spicy garlic ramen had thick, and a tasty looking broth and the portion sizes for the ramen looked like decent enough for the price. The taste for the gyoza was good, but the spicy black garlic ramen definitely stole the show! The broth was the perfect level of savory with a delicious blend of garlic that wasn't overpowering along with the pork broth. The chashu was incredibly tender and flavorful and the ramen was cooked perfectly - *chefs kiss*, amazing!
