16 Best Japanese Restaurants in Buena Park

“We've been going here pretty much since they opened and we now go at least once a week. The food is great! The prices are very reasonable. The owner always provides us with great service. A very humble hardworking individual. Always happy to see us, wants to accommodate us and misses us if we miss one week. He treats us like family. This alone makes us want to support him more. Most of the time we have the Combo B and Combo C, it's what we like, but we've also had the Philadelphia roll, Tempura and Gyoza and truly we've loved everything they've made for us. I also love that the restaurant is very neat, clean and organized. The atmosphere its very relaxing. Usually theres the nice music playing on the background and a couple of TV's. Its perfect for us. It's very rare to find all of these pluses in one place. For all the good we will continue to support it.“

“Great food. Great service. Parking lot present, not the biggest but there is street parking. There was a line, but I would say it was worth it :) they also provided gloves, soy sauce, wasabi packets and wipes !! Seating available but hard to grab when popular. Got the myungnam crab, salmon and bulgogi. Likes the crab best, then salmon. Then I would probably get something else instead of bulgogi but it was still good.“

“Awesome perfect product! Incredible flavor ! Nice people!“

“She is a small but MIGHTY restaurant. We're happy to have discovered this hidden gem in Buena Park and i would say the price for the food was extremely worth it! Lots of korean side dishes which we loved and the crispiness of the meat was so good. Will come back!“

“Finally made it here!! My husband and I went here for date night recently and we ordered the two kinds of meat, the creamy udon, and the cheese tonkatsu. We happen to come on a Friday night a little after they open and luckily it wasn't busy just yet. The service was really fast and the quality of the meat was amazing! The cheese tonkatsu was a bit heavier so by the time we finished grilling our meats and eating some of the udon, we were too full to finish the cheese tonkatsu. The creamy udon is a beef curry udon with a topped layer of this special cream that has this grainy texture similar to mashed potatoes. It was good to try, but I wouldn't get it again. I'll probably try the other noodles that they offer. I really enjoyed the concept of grilling the meat in front of you to your liking. It comes as a set so it was a perfect meal. Will be back with some friends!“

“Wagyu for such a low price seemed outrageous, though it is obvious it's not A5, it was so soft to chew on I wouldn't mind it for the quantity/ quality/price 10/10, staff are chill and fast paced, the place is normal on the inside great seating areas.“

“Place is ok, there are so many better places though! I would eat here if I didn’t want to go out too far. Black garlic ramen was seriously lacking flavor but the udon was good. Sushi was standard and the hoedeopbap was tasty, just didn’t have much fish. Maybe I’ve been spoiled but service was poor. Girl was trying to talk to me across a loud room and ordering was slow. It was only her working this particular evening so it might have been overwhelming. We were told at 9:10 that they closed at 9:15 (nicely told us to gtfo), but we were confused because google says they close at 9:30. Didn’t matter too much because we were about done anyways. Despite the negatives, definitely give it a try, palettes are always different. It wasn’t so bad that I wouldn’t come here again, could’ve been a one-off night and I always like to give establishments another shot.“

“Service was top notch tonight“

“We had a variety of options in food and drink and they were all delicious. I feel like everything is leveled up compared to my previous visit. It was very spacious, and This place has a good vibe not to be too loud. Obviously, I don't think there's a better option in OC. I'm so happy to find a new place. The service was great too.“

“i have been going to neighborhood bento since 2019 when i found out about it. it truly is a hidden gem in the community! i don't know of any other restaurant/shop that serves food like neighborhood bento. it's one of my go-to comfort meals and it truly feels like i'm eating something home cooked each time. i only wish that i'd found it sooner!“

“First time there and Definitely will be returning. Overall, food and service was excellent.“

“My favorite go to place for Korean katsu! The kimchi cheesekatsu is my go to, Great ratio of katsu,cheese,kimchi and sauce! Service is consistent and wait times are never too busy! Takeout is always an option if anything. Lots of parking so it's not hard to find parking.“

“One of the better sashimi places we’ve been to, in fact, we had the mid level set menu and every item was fresh and delicious! It’s Korean Busan style, with emphasis on freshness and variety of seafood dishes. Service was attentive and above average for similar type of places. They give out “service” dishes, which is great. Just be aware it’s noticeably more expensive than similar places but still worth it IMO. They even went out of their way to celebrate a birthday also. Definitely will be returning.“

“Love this ayce sushi and sashimi! This place has all day ayce sushi that is super premium quality. It serves my favorite botan ebi as well as such pretty nigiris and sashimi pieces. They are highlighting their yuzu and lychee cocktails with ducks floating!!! So cute :) Service is super fast and you order thru the tablet. Very modern and techy. Check them out for big group dining or a date night! Definitely great quality and a bang for your buck.“

“I was craving some good teriyaki the other day and decided to try out Golden Bowl. I was really impressed with the food and would definitely recommend this place to other people. I decided to get the chicken teriyaki and it was very good. You need to add avocado, it makes all the difference. The prices were very reasonable for the amount of food that you're getting. The portions are huge and reflective of the price. The staff are also friendly, specifically the young Asian guy with glasses at the cash register. He was extremely friendly and answered all the questions that I had about the menu. It was really busy when I went but he was still able to assist me despite how busy he was. Definitely try this place out.“

“The service here is top tier.Our server was helpful friendly and informative.The baked rolls are my favorite and they have some of the best here. I recommend the golden tiger roll and crawfish roll. And don't sleep on the jalapeno bombs, absolutely delicious.It's a bit pricey but the lunch hours are a little better. Overall I highly recommend“
