Tempura don ($15) and California roll ($7.50) with fresh salad and miso soup.
Quick wait time (~10mins) at 7PM on a weekday. All orders are placed to-go but tables are open if you want to eat there.
Food exceeded expectations for the price, tempura veggies especially. Friendly staff. Would visit again!

I was recommended from a friend who lives in the Irvine area to come try Fukada for a meal and it did not disappoint! The prices are reasonable and the food quality and portion sizes were amazing. Just a heads up, I recommend calling ahead to confirm the price, as prices are different in-store from Yelp!
I got the Noodle Combination, which consisted of Tanuki Udon and the Spicy Tuna Don. It came with a bowl of freshly made udon that was so chewy, and it came with crunchy tempura flakes that added to. The broth was so clean and flavorful too. The Spicy Tuna Don did not disappoint either. It's prepared the day of and I could tell; the tuna was so fresh and had just the right amount of spice, and it came with a decently sized portion of rice with it. I was so full but luckily all of the food come in to-go containers so it was easy to take home and enjoy the next day.
If you're ever in the Irvine area, I highly recommend stopping by Fukada! Parking is really easy and the restaurant is very clean! I'll be sure to stop by again when I'm in Irvine!

This was my second time going, they're always so nice and always help me determine what is the best options for a pregnant woman lol. I had their avocado crab salad, I added cucumbers and it comes with a tomato dressing. It so delicious.

Delicious food and very nice staff! We were rushing to get a quick bite before heading to the airport and staff was quick. Food was tasty and a good amount! I had the unagi don and my husband had the katsu rice bowl
Even dine in waste so much bags and plastic containers kind of feel bad All self serve The eel don is not bad, grilled fish looks good too Sushi roll is normal and pricey And thought this place will more be fast so with kids, but takes so long to wait

Delicious restaurant in Irvine. Lunch/dinner combo (hot Sansai Udon + rice don??) is really yummy.

Fukada has to be one of the top noodle soup restaurants in Orange County. They open at 11:30am, but if you aren't there by 11:15am at the latest to get your name on the waiting list, you won't make the first seating.
My favorite soup is the Katsu Don. The broth is rich and fatty, the udon noodles thick and the pork full of flavor. I usually add on the gyoza or mixed tempura.

I went here for lunch. First come since about 6 years ago when it was mainly Ramen sit down restaurant.
I got a lunch combo with Unagi don and cold soba. Unagi obviously was a frozen but had a bit of old fish smell and taste. It didn't have a lot of sauce and the rice also dint have any unagudon sauce. Rice was also not cooked right. Too much water content. Soba was ok. Nothing to write home about.
I never liked the everything on plastic to go container but you can seat anywhere concept. Also I ordered, got water, and took everything to trash can but had to give 15% tips. The price was like $24 which was little too high for such a small portion. Not sure what all the high reviews are about. I understand the restaurant business is pretty tough but this one i won't go back. May be other fried dishes are OK but looking at people eating different dishes, they didnt look too appealing.
The best thing about this restaurant was the female worker's attitude at the counter.
