15 Best Japanese Restaurants in Buena Park

“This place is highly underrated. Among the katsu restaurants in the area, it offers the best service and taste. The accompanying side dishes are also of excellent quality.
Servers frequently stopped by to check on the table and ask if we needed anything. We had a thoroughly satisfying experience.“

“Roll & Teriyaki is a good local spot for delicious, fast-casual Japanese food at affordable prices. The quiet and clean dining area will accommodate small groups or solo diners.

The menu boasts Japanese favorites that most people will be familiar with. The value-packed combos are a real treat. I've also enjoyed the chicken and beef teriyaki bowls, as well as the sushi and roll offerings. While they may not offer as many fish varieties as other places, the ones they do have are all fresh and satisfying.

For a small, mom-and-pop restaurant, I'm glad there's a place like this close to home and affordable. The service is good. I've visited many times and the owner is a man of few words. The other staff have been nice as well.

If you're on a budget and craving Japanese food, R&T is worth checking out. There is plenty of parking in the public lot.“

“I had the sake salmon and egg sando.
The sando was good. Moist egg filling and well toasted bread. The sake salmon...goodness gracious. It was delicious! I want to try more items on the menu, but I may have a hard time not ordering the salmon again. I highly recommend Neighborhood Bento.
It's definitely worth noting that the staff were cheerful, knowledgeable, and professional. I will definitely come here again.“

“If I could give this guy 10 stars on service, I would totally do it. Absolutely made my night. The food is very good, but the service is even better.

I love ramen and I love sushi, and both are very good here. My girlfriend and I come here sometimes, and it's always been a great experience, but especially tonight. It's how clean it is.

Especially tonight, there was a tall Asian guy that was just so joyful. He had glasses on, and it just really made our night.“

“Local guide coming in hot ya'll sit back and relax at the best Gyukatsu restaurant in all of Orange County (both north and south county). I couldn't be more pleased with a full stomach and memories to last a lifetime. My wife and I frequent Japan where we enjoy some of the best gyukatsu in the entire world. With that being said, this particular restaurant, located in the beautiful Buena Park, CA is a close second place runner up. Haven't really tried any other similar restaurants stateside but if I did I'd bet it wouldn't come close to the culinary masterpiece this place lays down on the regular. Do yourself a favor and come and eat here and make sure to order the premium beef katsu with a side of fluffy whipped cream lookin delicious don noodles. Mic drop local guide out.“

“Service was top notch tonight“

“Long overdue review for one of my family's regular katsu spots in the area. We've been coming here for quite a while, and the experience has always been consistently good.

The staff is always attentive, friendly, and quick with service, which makes dining with kids much easier. The katsu is crispy and cooked well every time, and it's one of my kids' favorite places to eat. Portions are solid, the food comes out fast, and the overall atmosphere is casual and family friendly.

Definitely recommend for families with kids looking for a reliable and satisfying meal.“

“I tried 3, the spicy eel, butter garlic crab and spicy tuna. The crab was a little disappointing, I dont know why I was expecting real crab but I obvious went in not doing a lot of research. Imitation crab, not favorite, didnt think it was worth the $. The spicy tuna was the best one! Its actually spicy, I would come back for it. This is also the first time I've been here since theres never any parking. Small lot, its probably my least favorite thing about the place. Other than that, not bad!“

“Top notch teriyaki chicken plates. It's worth the drive coming to this place all the time. They add the right amount that'll just hit the spot!

UPDATE!!!
lately I've been coming to this spot for quite some time. And for the past 2 times I've come I've been noticing a reduction of meat and more rice. Either the owner of this place is taking advantage of these such good reviews and adding more rice than meat or it's under new management but I've been unsatisfied with my amount of portions now. Come here at your own risk!“

“i like the food, big serving & it’s worth the price, i hope they willnot increase the price or lessen the service.“

“Wish the cut was thicker on some of them. The service was A5, the food was good. I usually won't go to to such expensive place but it was a friend's birthday. I'm not sure if it's a good deal or not but the bill came out to about $500 for 4 person and I felt it was reasonable“

“Lol! We are here every week and the owner always treat us like they never saw us!“

“I loved this place when it was Tokyo teriyaki. Even when they changed their name to Poke Yaki, they still sold their original teriyaki menu in addition to the poke. Well, the days of that teriyaki chicken bowl with fried shrimp are over, and its too bad because they had the best teriyaki in town. Their poke, however, is quite excellent, but ill never go back because they gave up on a good thing for something else I dont want as much.

If youre into poke, which i am, this is a great place for that. Im just moving on.“

“We did the all you can eat menu. Turned out to almost exactly $50 a person for a group of 7. Always great quality fish and the fish to rice ratio for the nigiri is perfect you don’t just fill up on rice.

Second time eating here and both times were good fun and nice food. Will definitely be back when in town again.“
