Best Japanese food in Irvine! and to me personally, anywhere, yes that’s a big statement but it’s my opinion. I order the Katsu Chicken every time, it’s light, crispy and juicy without being greasy, perfectly cooked. Generous portions and awesome side all included. It’s a small restaurant with limited seating, worth the wait if you go during busy times.
Hako Restaurant – Crispy Katsu & Good Sauce, But Everything Else Disappoints
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars)
The pork katsu is the star here—crispy, generously portioned, and paired with a tasty dipping sauce. While the meat itself can be a little dry, it’s still satisfying. I also like the curry (though it's an extra $3 on top of the $14.95), but the rest of the meal is lacking: dry rice, a tiny dish of pickled daikon, and a “salad”...

The food is good. The takoyaki is amazing and the cutlets are crispy. Large portions so come hungry. Went a bit out of my way to come here but absolutely worth it.
