yum yum yum. i get the lemon salmon and the spicy tuna and the butter crab and lowkey makes me so full but its so good.

Finally visited Atoyubu in Buena Park after hearing good things about it. I really liked the concept--a healthy yubu (tofu pocket) base topped with your choice of ingredients. Having protein options ranging from fish to meat made it easy to try a good mix of flavors. The food tasted great, looked very neat, and offered excellent value. At around $5 per piece, it is remarkably affordable considering current food prices everywhere else. The portions are generous, too--two pieces are plenty for a full meal, and three will easily satisfy a bigger appetite. The packaging is clean and thoughtful, making it a nice option to pick up as a gift for someone. The parking lot is a bit small, so I'll likely opt for takeout next time, but overall it was a great experience. read more

No line, quick service, and not too expensive! Each piece is around ~$5.50 without tax. I highly recommend the Fresh Salmon and Ginger Tuna! They provide soy sauce and wasabi, which goes great with the salmon since it's not seasoned. My only critique is I wish they put more filling on top for the price. read more

I've been here several times, and the yubus are always juicy and flavorful. The tofu skin has the perfect amount of sweetness and balances well with the toppings and rice. I love how each bite is a different combination of flavors which keeps things interesting. They often sell out of options. Often times when I visit, they're not fully stocked. This one time I went later on in the day and more than half of the options weren't available. There is limited seating here and parking here. This spot is located in a small strip mall. read more

Really really unique flavor profiles. I got 3 and it filled me up! My favorites I tried was the salmon, the bulgogi, and the creamy roe. I also tried the lemon pepper which was too strong of a flavor for me super duper salty. If they add less lemon pepper on top it would taste better. I can't wait to try the garlic butter crab next time! Loved how fresh everything tasted and it left me feeling full and great! read more

What a treat. While the inside isn't anything to talk about, it was at least comfortable. You're able to watch your order being made. I wasn't a big fan of tofu before, but I am now! Just remember when it says spicy, it is!! The spicy tuna and grilled spicy pork were delicious but next time I would ask them to tone down the spice a bit. The garlic butter crab was delicious even though it was imitation, but for me the fluffy egg didn't have much taste. Parking was tight and very small area. The employees were welcoming and quick with your order. I will be back to try the other numerous choices because the prices are excellent!! read more

I have been hearing about this place for some time now and I'm glad to finally have visited! The place is definitely worth the hype! Came in on a Saturday afternoon. The place was pretty busy with dine in and take out orders. Our order of 4 yubus came out pretty fast! As basic as it is, my fave was the fresh salmon yubu! Perfect balance of flavor and the amount of fish and rice! The other yubus were good as well. I wanna try other flavors next time but they were very filling that i could not get more read more

Wow!!! This is a hidden gem! I happen to find this spot on Instagram and happen to be in the area this week. When you go in to order, there is a kiosk for you to order on, however, the workers are all super helpful and gave recommendations. I ended up getting the spicy tuna which had a strong kick to it! I also tried the Beef Bulgogi, Garlic Butter Crab, and Ginger Tuna. These were all amazing but my two favorites were spicy tuna and beef bulgogi. The flavor of the beef being torched was so yummy. I can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Atoyubu - From back to front (Spicy Tuna, Ginger Tuna, Beef Bulgogi, Garlic Butter Crab) - Japanese Near Me - Buena Park, California

Located in a small plaza. Keep in mind that there isnt alot of parking and this placeis very popular! I was excited to try this place out and it didn't disappoint. Got most of their selections. My fav was the seared salom one for sure and least favorite was Bulgogi just because it tasted like normal Bulgogi that I would prefer not in yubuchobap. Overall a pretty solid place, as it is popular not sure if you could find seating. So expect to eat this on the go! read more

Solid food! Thought some were way too sweet because of the sauces/mayo paired with the semi-sweet tofu skin. I honestly just rather have fresh sushi. There are loooong lines on the weekend so just be aware! I had to park across the street at the Target bc how full the lot was. This feels like more of a takeout place than a sit down restaurant. read more

I found Atoyubu while browsing Yelp and decided to check it out. I probably wouldn't have discovered it on my own because it's tucked away in a very small plaza, but the good news is there's parking right out front. I went on a Friday right when they opened at 4 p.m. When I stepped inside my first thought... did this place just open? There are tables and chairs, but not much else. No photos or decor on the walls. There were two men behind the counter and I wasn't greeted, so I walked up to the digital menu to place my order. I also noticed the all-gender restroom, which I liked as an option, though it wasn't very clean during my visit. For food, I ordered several of the yubu rice balls. I tried the lemon pepper salmon, chipotle salmon, sweet barbecue gyro, and another one with crab. The sushi rice was cooked great and the fish tasted fresh. My son was a really big fan of the sweet barbecue gyro and liked it so much that he ordered another one. The barbecue sauce was very sweet, maybe a little too sweet. As for the little wrap around the rice, I couldn't quite figure out what it was. It didn't really add or take anything away. For three of them the price was just shy of $20, which felt a little on the pricey side. Overall, the yubu was a new experience for me and I really enjoyed it. I'd come back. read more

A little expensive in my opinion but I'd pay anything for "sushi". I do think they could have put more fish than rice. It felt like the rice almost filled up the tofu skin and the fish was just placed on top. Here's my review of the 4 pieces I ordered through DoorDash. Spicy Tuna 9/10: Personally really enjoyed this one. The buldak sauce was spicy good. Definitely not for anyone who can't handle spice. Fresh Salmon 8/10: Very fresh. Wish they filled it up more. It felt like rice with a side of salmon. Fresh Ginger Tuna 6/10: Average, nothing too special but it's like a loyal guy friend who will never be your boyfriend. Garlic Butter Crab 7/10: So good, but it's imitation crab so you can literally stop by the grocery market and make this yourself for a fraction of the price but if you're lazy like I am then it's a 8/10. read more

...today, after my chiropractor appointment, I was asked again to get more Korean Dubai cookies for my friend, Chloe. As I'm walking to the door, I pass another place where two guys are sitting close to the window and I notice they are eating stuffed inari sushi. I backup to see the sign above. ATOYUBU!!! I go in to check it out... and the lady starts talking to me in Korean, then quickly switches to English asking if it's my first time. People are casually sitting at small tables, so I discreetly glance to see what they're eating... then, decide to try it out... My choices: - Eel - Korean BBQ - Garlic Crab Hard to pick up with your hand, so I use a fork to eat from the top. Flip it over to eat the soy bean curd and I leave half of the rice. The eel was by far my favorite and the garlic crab was my least. Happy I got to try something new today. They are all about $5-$6 each... read more

This place has been bookmark on my IG for the longest time. My bf and I ordered the fresh salmon, Lemon pepper salmon, spicy tuna , garlic butter crab and grilled bulgogi to shared. Everything was so good and the fresh was fresh as well. I love how these would be a quick and easy snack to go. I wished they had a location closer to me because I would get this so often. I'm already getting hungry writing this review about it. read more

Atoyubu - Grilled Bulgogi Yubu Fresh Salmon Yubu Spicy Tuna Yubu Garlic Butter Crab Yubu - Japanese Near Me - Buena Park, California

I saw that this spot was on Yelp's list of top 100 spots to eat in the OC, so I knew I had to give it a try! The store has a large variety of yubus on their menu. If you haven't tried yubu before, the best way I'd describe it is a large sushi roll but instead of seaweed, it's wrapped in tofu skin. I ordered the fresh salmon, spicy grilled eel, and garlic butter crab yubus and I thought all of them were delicious!! As a sushi lover, my personal favorite was the fresh salmon one. All of the yubus were between around $4-$6, which I think is fair. Service here is limited but friendly. It's a super casual spot where most people get takeout, however, there are a few tables if you choose to dine in. The store is bright, modern, and clean. read more

Food: spicy grilled eel (8/10) - slightly creamy and very spicy. eel is fresh and yum! spicy tuna (9/10) - really spicy, fresh tasting fish, and packed/filling grilled bulgogi (8/10) - grilled onion adds a nice flavor and the bulgogi has a smokey taste fresh salmon (7/10) - slightly creamy and saucy. basic but fresh and decent lemon pepper salmon (7.5/10) - smokey, peppery, and citrusy myungran crab (4/10) - barely any crab and full of just sauce and rice Service: Upon arrival they'll ask if you're a returning or new customer. They'll show you the stand that has the most popular items to help guide you when ordering. You then place an order on the kiosk and wait to be called. They also let you know it's 3 pieces max per person. Ambiance: It's a small but cozy and bright spot during the day. They have a self serve water station as well. It's a very casual spot to swing by and have a nice little snack/meal. read more

Ayoo I'm a sucker for inari whenever I eat at sushi restaurants so these yubu's blew me away! Don't even bother with any soy sauce or wasabi, the flavors are perfect as is. They provide chopsticks and even disposable gloves for better handling. I was using the small round paper plate kind of like a taco holder to keep everything in place. All of the yubus have pretty well balanced flavors. The only one that surprised me was the lemon pepper since it's what I normally see on a chicken wing... but it was really good with the little lemon slice on top. Of the four I ate, i can't really decide which one was my favorite since they were all good. They are packed with quite a lot of rice, so for small eaters maybe start with two pieces rather than three? The interior is nice and clean, with seating at tables and along the wall counter. read more

For the price and taste of the food, its definitely worth to try~ I'm not a fan of inari but this surely changed my mind! I would like it less rice and more fillings, but it made me stuffed for sure read more

Food: I love how big and filling it is. If you are looking for something to get full, I would suggest ordering 3 and do 4 if you want an extra one but I would say 3 should get you pretty full considering it's a really good size and portion! One of my favorites there are the popping salmon, crabmon, & myungun crab (it was so creamy). Iv tried some of the other flavors there and these three are my top favorite! They provide you with utensils, ginger, soy sauce, wasabi and containers on the counter for you to grab. They also provide lollipops with it! Food is delicious when you want something quick and easy. Service: Service is nice and friendly and they will guide you (for first timers) on how to order on the big tablet. Keep in mind is cars only, NO CASH! You can also add in your phone number to earn rewards and points! Ambiance: Cute little store, keep in mind parking is very limited and small so parking can be tricky depending what time you go! Very clean inside and overall food is great! 10/10 read more

Pretty small interior with limited seating (2-3 tables plus bar seating). Each tofu packet is about $5-7 but they are pretty big, so 3-4 would definitely fill you up. You order at a kiosk and wait for your number to be called. Takes a bit of time for the order to come out. Ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce packets on the side. - lemon salmon: 7.5/10. Lots of salmon and rice. A bit on the saltier side. The torching adds a nice smoky flavor. Very yummy and refreshing! - crab salmon: 7.0/10. Mayo heavy. Sweet and lots of crab. Very heavy and rich tasting. read more

This is a awesome place to grab a quick fix for dinner. I highly recommend the wasabi octopus or any of their salmon options. The flavors are delicious and the portions are perfect for just a light lunch or quick dinner. I can only put away 1 or 2 before being completely satisfied. The staff is extremely hard working and incredibly sweet. It's a small team with a huge line so patience is a virtue. I don't recommend dining in, sometimes because of how long the lines and wait are it gets abit noisy. So to go is always my recommendation! read more

Atoyobu is a tiny little shop tucked into the corner of a lowkey plaza.. definitely not a sit-down restaurant, more of a quick stop for something special. They're famous for their "Inari Bombs" (basically fresh fish packed inside a lightly sweetened tofu skin pouch thing) We tried four different flavors, & honestly... ALL FOUR were absolute flavor bombs. They were not shy with the seasoning at all, which I loved. They made sure to explain everything you wanted to know as well. Garlic Butter Crab Yubu -- my favorite! Anything garlic is a yes for me, and this did not disappoint. So rich and flavorful. Popping Spicy Salmon -- just the right amount of spice to enhance the salmon without overpowering it. Spicy Tuna Yubu -- a classic for a reason. simple, spicy, & super satisfying. Fresh Salmon Yubu -- so clean & fresh, zero fishy taste. I could seriously eat like five of these. Coming back soon read more

I had driven to Buena Park from San Diego for a book event, but one of my side quests was checking out Atoyubu, I saw a TikTok about their restaurant and since it was close to the event I had to check them out. It was a rainy evening, I got to Buena Park area around 5:22 pm and there was ample parking, I think the rain really deterred a lot of people from being out but there were definitely a lot of people still eating inside. As soon as I got in, I was greeted right away, there was another patron in front of me so but I had been stalking their menu online so I already knew what I was going to get. The cashier was really friendly and explained to me the options, I mentioned to her that I had come all the way from San Diego and she was so happy that I made the trip, seriously so kind. She said typically people order three, but I was going to Portos next so I only opted for 2, I wish I had listened and got 3 because these were so delicious. I'm a so basic, I ordered the myungran crab and the spicy tuna yubu. When I picked up my order, I was surprised at how big it was, I thought they would be dainty but they were actually such a good size for the price and the price points are really really fair. The cashier was so kind and offered my a soda for free which I appreciated after such a long drive in the rain. I tried the crab yubu first, I wasn't sure how to eat it so I just watched others, after taking a big bite, I decided to take the toppings off to make i easier for first timer me, can I just say this was so delicious. Everything was seasoned so well, do you marinate the tofu pockets too because it was so soft and flavorful and the filling, the rice and imitation crab were all so delicious. Then the spicy tuna, was really spicy, not obscenely, but just the right amount of spice, I kid you not it was so good. The tuna was fresh, the spicy sauce had a good kick to it and the sweetness from the rice and tofu pocket balanced it out so nicely. I REGRET NOT GETTING MORE. If I didn't have a book event for 3 hours I would have ordered more to take home and now I will have to find a way to satiate the cravings back home. Thank you again for such a great experience, food was top tier, prices were really fair, portion size was generous and friendliness and kindness of employees was so appreciated! Definitely recommend, definitely coming back! read more

I really enjoy Atoyubu, especially when I am in the need of a quick bite to eat during lunch. Atoyubu has offerings of rice wrapped concoctions filled with rice and a delicious variety of toppings. I've had the crab and fresh salmon during my first two visits and I have had the bulgogi in addition to them during my first. I found that for me personally, three made me feel overstuffed, but two were plenty. They are much more filling than they look. My second visit was months after my first, and I found that they have added quite a few more offerings! This just makes me want to come back more and try more variety. Ordering is more or less like a fast food establishment. You order through the large kiosk at the register and the workers are working like very busy worker bees. There is usually an employee at the front who will assist you if needed. I will definitely be by more often to try their other options. read more

The fish they use tastes very fresh, the tofu skin also has great flavor, and all the sauces/marinades were so yum! You can tell this place cares about quality! Every single item on the menu is worth a try Even though I came at a busy time, the service was super quick!

Tried Atoyubu and place is modern, opened with good amount of traffic both cars and people! Hahahah You order via a kiosk...Staff was friendly and helpful, even when I'm inquiring what they would recommend. This review will be quick and short because this place closes early (or like a siesta). Just be aware of the short hours close midday, maybe the hours are new and testing out crowd demand, which caught me off guard a bit. The "rice bowl/boat" wraps are creative, fresh, and packed with flavor -- I especially loved the lemon pepper salmon and spicy tuna. You could taste the spiciness which I appreciate when an item is deemed "spicy". Portions are reasonable and everything tasted really fresh. Overall, Atoyubu is a great, tasty spot I'd definitely come back to --plus there's shopping center nearby and a bubble tea place just around the corner! read more

Finally got around to trying this place and I'm glad I did! Thee first thing that stood out to me was the variety. There are so many options to choose from that it almost makes it hard to decide, but in a good way. Everything looked fresh and well-prepared, and what I ended up trying did not disappoint. The price point was honestly the cherry on top. For the quality and portion sizes, it felt super reasonable, which makes it even more worth coming back to try more things on the menu. It's one of those spots where you feel like you're getting your money's worth. I'd definitely ask for gloves next time (they do offer them!). Things can get a little messy depending on what you order, but honestly that kind of adds to the experience lol. Just be prepared and you'll be good. Overall, good food, good price point.

I came to this location after discovering the one in Walnut. I ordered different items to get a good variety of fish and flavors, and every single thing was delicious. It honestly feels like a hidden gem that most people haven't discovered yet. They have multiple locations, and I've visited more than one because it's that good. It's perfect when you're craving sushi but don't want a full roll. The tofu pockets are a great size and super filling--usually I can only eat one or two and I'm done. I've tried all the flavors, and everything has been fresh with really authentic taste. The inside is very clean, and the service is great. You typically order from a touchscreen, but if it's your first time, they'll walk you through it, ask what you like, and even recommend their top options. Definitely recommend trying this place--it's amazing. read more

These Yubu, or Ubu, or Inari pockets are my new obsession! I love being able to get a variety of flavors and you definitely can with these! They are a fried soybean pocket (inari) filled with sushi rice and your toppings of your choice. You can get sushi like toppings or cooked toppings like bulgogi, eel, or spicy pork. I've tried these a few times at different places and these were delicious. Today I tried the spicy tuna (indeed SPICY and I can handle spice), the fresh salmon, and the blue crab (real crab) with salmon. I loved them all and can't wait to try more. Three Yubus is plenty for lunch or get a fourth if you are starving. I think their logo is so adorable (they should give out stickers or something) and the service was great. You can order with the staff, on the kiosk, or online. My son thinks these are the best around because of their spicy flavors. But if you don't like spice there are plenty of options. read more

My fiancé and I came across Atoyubu after a long day at Knotts Soak City. We arrived a little too early and the doors were still closed, but we were able to find good parking. While waiting, we noticed a line starting to form right outside their doors. That's when we knew "this place has to be good!". The workers were very friendly and helpful, especially since it was our first time. The worker warned us that some spicy items on the menu were very spicy. My fiancé and I are spicy freaks, so were pleasantly surprised that the spicy came from Bludak Sauce - our fav!! It was our first time trying Yubu, and this place made us LOVE IT! We cannot stop raving about it, and cannot wait to try the other location closer to us! read more

We didn't have trouble finding parking, but I could see it filling up quickly during their peak hours. We were greeted by the staff as soon as we walked in, and the staff asked if we were familiar with the menu and offered to answer any questions that we had. There was a kiosk at the counter, which made the ordering quick and easy. We ordered: Creamy Myungran Yubu Double Cheese Bulgogi Spicy Grilled Eel Buldak Yubu Spicy Tuna Yubu Lemon Pepper Salmon Yubu We got the food in a reasonable amount of time and they were bigger than I expected. Although I liked that they were decently sized, it was easy to make a mess and difficult to share. The two spicy ones that we tried were very similar in flavor, which was a bit disappointing but they were still tasty. The restaurant was clean and well kept. Overall, I enjoyed them and will return when I'm in the mood for a quick meal. read more
