“My friend was hyping this place up so I decided to see if he spoke some truth to his statements. It didn't disappoint, but it didn't hit it out of the park either. Interior is very presentable. Clean and new. There are a lot of choices to pick from, but you get a limited quantity per category. You have their base, two base toppings, two scoops of protein, five toppings, two sauces (unfortunate), and then two sprinkles. The taste of the fish by itself is okay. Sauce is really good though. I was surprised at how much it was (about $3 more than what I'm used to paying) but their portions are very generous. I could not finish my bowl in one sitting when I always do. Hopefully the next time I come back, I'd find my go-to recipe!“

“Came here for dinner on a Saturday night after some rock climbing. Luckily we put our name down right before a bunch of groups came and we got seated in a few minutes. Otherwise it was looking to be at least a 20 min wait. Ordering was through your phone. You also pay on your phone. Water is self serve. Food comes out on disposable plates. So turn around for tables can be pretty quick! They have their system nailed down. All the food came out quickly and it was all delicious. But oh my god the pork katsu. That first bite was heavenly and I will have to order it every single time! We all got a variety from karage to chicken katsu but the pork...always pork from now on. It was tender and just melted in my mouth. And the fry was perfectly crispy. I can't wait to come back!“

“YUM. Can I just say... YUM. Okay, here's the rest: I met a friend for dinner here on a weeknight around 5:30 or so & it was perfect. No people. Well, maybe one or two other tables of peoolebut in general, it was early enough to beat crowds (which there later came to be). We were seated right away & ordered using the digital ordering menu system. The place had plenty of seats with a variety of table sizes to accommodate parties of various sizes. Despite ordering digitally, their staff was still very attentive, stopping in to check on our needs often. It was very nice to have someone stay on top of my water needs. I ordered the curry beef udon sizzling plate & it was sizzelicious! Everything was nice & fresh & the meat cooked up quickly so I dove right in. The udon noodles were perfectly textured & I liked the corn which was a fun texture to add to the plate. For those who've never been, this is a place you want to visit in clothes that you don't care getting covered in the smell of oil all over. That sizzle gets all up in your clothes, your hair, your skin if you get your face in there, so don't dress to the nines if you're planning a visit (or do if you love the smell of oil, I guess. You do you.) This place is comparable to Pepper Lunch in Milpitas - love both places. Now I'm hungry.“

They had 1 main sushi chef then a second cook came out to help. 2 waitresses on staff that were all working very hard non stop, but can't seem to keep up with the patrons and DoorDash standing by. We ordered the Rainbow roll - very fresh Tiger dragon roll - love this roll Spicy tuna roll - one of the best Kanpachi nigiri - it was okay Hamachi nigiri- very good and fresh Scallop - will not order again Ebi - just okay.

“Located in Vietnam Town, Enjoy Seoul is in a corner of the left building when you pull into the lot. It isn't the biggest, but definitely clean. My mom and I were seated immediately for an early dinner. We are regulars here as my mom thinks this is her favorite Korean restaurant, and I have to say the soup and the stone bibimbap is also probably the best too. It was more than enough food for the two of us, and we had about one serving left to bring home. I think the banchan helps make the meal filling! Service is average, but in a good way. Took a star down because the table next to us got their food first but we ordered before them, and they seemed to order the same thing we did. Overall, definitely will come back again, and if you do go, try not to go during lunch or dinner rush because it's not that big and you might wait a while.“

The best thing was that she recommended the spicy wontons, which are made in-house now. We LOVE it!! We also ordered some other appetizers and our ramens. Yes, the reviews are right; the restaurant is a little loud if you are sitting inside, the place is definitely pricey for ramen, but you're paying to be at Santana Row.

I love the tonkatsu udon but the salmon spinach and uni udon are great too if you like seafood. You may also want to try their curry udon to compare it to the curry udon served at an international chain located nearby, which I find far inferior.As for sides, It is also a good idea to add their poached egg or "seasoned boiled egg" as that can make or break a meal. They provide shichimi spice at no additional cost which also makes the udon more flavorful imo.I am taking off one star because some of the appetizers I have tried before were average, especially the onigiri and the service can be a hit or miss.“

Fugetsu always has fresh, flavorful Japanese food that is super portable and conveniently packaged to take to-go. I'd highly recommend getting food here for a picnic! * Tuna and Salmon Box Sushi: 5/5 Fish tasted so fresh and high quality! The rice underneath was the perfect soft, fluffy texture and nicely seasoned. This box comes with a LOT of masago, which is a plus! It added a pleasant salty, briny flavor to an otherwise very simple dish. $15 for this is a great price considering it's a generous portion of rice and fish! * Takoyaki: 5/5 One of the best I've tried outside of Japan. Soft without being mushy, and very flavorful. If I had to nitpick, I would prefer more bonito flakes on top. * Cold Mentai Pasta (mini size): 5/5 Perfectly cooked pasta with a lightly creamy flavor. Not too heavy or salty. This would be a perfect side dish for a picnic or lunch to-go! Service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be back soon to try their many other options!“

“Don't let the name fool you, Sizzling Lunch is an awesome dining option any time of day. I've been a regular here since I found out about it a few years ago and I won't be stopping any time soon.The food is delivered to the table raw and unmixed on a sizzling hot plate, allowing you to mix everything up and cook it to your desired level before chowing down. The real stars of the show in my opinion are the Garlic Shoyu and Teriyaki sauces that are available on every table. They form a delectable combination, and as soon as my meal arrives at the table I'm pouring a generous portion of each on top of my food so that the flavors can meld together as it cooks.It may be all in my head, but there is something great about digging into a dish of steaming food that was cooked just a few second ago. Forget farm-to-table, it's all about pan-to-mouth for that truly fresh experience.A final word of advice from personal experience, don't wear a white shirt! While they provide a small paper splash guard around the food, there will inevitably be some splatter that escapes the confines of the plate and winds up on everything within a one foot radius so be careful and plan ahead.“

Cooked perfectly medium and the sauce was good texture, not too thick or thin. I thought Gombei had the best teriyaki but this visit to Kaita may have changed my mind- definitely tied at least. The salad and miso hit the spot and the service was awesome! This is true comfort food for me, with plain white rice- best lunch out, in a long time! Wife had the chicken teriyaki donburi and she enjoyed that as well. It was a very large portion and she took a lot home for later. We had one soda and loved the complimentary tea. Lunch for two was $35.71 before tip. Can't beat that price, the quality and deliciousness of the food, and the friendly and genuine sweet service made our day!“

“The greatest onigiri (Japanese rice ball) spot of all time! I tried the spicy salmon and mackerel. I prefer the mackerel, but they’re both delicious. Even if I refrigerate a rice ball for 2 days, the rice is still soft enough to eat without reheating. Amazing!“

“Omg I went in there yesterday and my ODD was in full effect!! I have to apologize to the young lady at the counter who had to deal with me. I was definitely confusing and confused my damn self. I came in from an online order and when I arrived I ordered 3 more bowls. I didn't know what size or flavor I wanted so that was already confusing first thing, Then the girl was going be cool and charge me a soda to pay the difference for the size and flavor changes I flew off the handles cuz for some reason that computed in my mind as free soda She saw I grabbed a soda and she proceeded to charge me for two. My maths wasn't mathing and I was convinced I was to only be charged for one I'm sorry for calling you slow girly I'm the slow one Straight special ed! Bye!“

“I stopped in for a "Philly" roll, because I wanted something quick and wasn't sure how the food would be where I was going (it turned out to be a wise choice). Fish to rice ratio is very good, I was a little worried because the fish seemed to be room temperature instead of cold, and the rice is not something you'll see in the animated series Oishimbo, but it was good, filling, and did the job and was about $10 which is good these days. I'm sure students at the nearby college appreciate this place and I'll try to eat here again when I get the chance.“

“Rice is everything and it was too dry and thick here. The fish was good but it was spoiled by the underwhelming rice. Service was awkward. Not a smile from the server until the check came and she was more robotic and obligatory than really sincere. Anyhow, I wasn't impressed especially as the poor value made this meal unworthy.“
