This is top-tier outstanding job with the barbecue beef. It was moist juicy very flavorful. The rice was done really well same with the macaroni salad.

Ordered the bbq beef bowl.

This good was very poor. Primarily just white rice. Vegetables were passable, but mostly cabbage and zucchini. On top was a small portion of pretty gross beef. It was very cheap meat with a lot of gristle. Overcooked to a tough texture. Very poorly sauced- like someone had just thrown on a spoonful at the end. Pretty average sauce, but it was better than the meat- unfortunately there wasn’t enough of it to hide the beef.

This was the type of dish that makes you wonder why they even have it on the menu, since they seem to hate making it.

I can’t bring myself to give a 1 star review, since I’m sure someone in the kitchen had to put in some level of effort. But this was a waste of money and has nothing to recommend it.

Been going here for a while and the quality is just going lower and lower each time. Tried it again today, Aug 30,2025 and the fries and Katsu both tasted like nasty burnt oil. Everything was over fried and dripping with nasty tasting oil. Rice was mushy too.

Service ok.

I ordered food via a delivery service. No condiments arrived with my order. No katsu sauce for the katsu. I even ordered gravy fries and received no gravy.. just a bag of fries. Had to call three times! Finally on the third call Andrew answered. He was nice and polite but not very helpful. I asked him to speak to whoever packs the meals to be more careful.

Temecula location. Good vibes. Was playing Maoli when we walked in on YouTube. Food was very salty. Wouldn’t recommend.

I had to tell them to heat up the laimin twice because they served it cold. And their spam musubi tasted horrible. I feel like they did not put any effort in making the food at all. Horrible taste and horrible service

Please stop selling leftover chicken katsu that was cooked hours ago. This happens like 20% of the time I order. The katsu has obviously been sitting cold for a long time and tastes like car tires -- nearly broke my tooth trying to bite into it. Absolutely inedible. Called the store and the worker tried to blame it on dasher.

We had a wonderful time. The chicken bbq and the loco loco are the absolute best, although I don’t prefer the skin on the chicken. Atmosphere is nice, spacious restaurant with somewhat worn out furniture. I don’t mind it too much. Spam musubi is excellent, a must try

My family loves this place! We order food at least once a week—usually the garlic chicken or katsu chicken. Highly recommend it!

Great food. I usually get the small plate because the portions are big. The pork is tender, juicy,and full of flavor. The mac salad is good too. 10 of 10 every time.
