I was surprised that the Shanghai one was so good because I thought it can't beat the one with cheese but my kids actually preferred Shanghai. The girl that took my order was very friendly even though someone who walked by gave her some $hit for their prices. I told her don't worry she's prob drunk from all the wine she drank. I don't understand why people say stuff like that. If you can make it at home for cheaper, then go make it at home. You don't have to pay for a permit and a food truck and all the other expenses that go with selling out of a food truck, so zip it! One last thing, the lady who gave me my food was not happy when I asked for my food to go. I'm sorry but when my order was taken I wasn't asked if it was for here or to go so I assumed it was going to be in a container. I was going to walk home with all that food so I asked if it could be to go. I didn't like leaving the place like I was a nuisance but whatever, I'm a big girl, I got over it. The food was good and I'll go back next time I'll see them somewhere. I might go tomorrow since I'm assuming they'll be there for the second day and I'll make sure to say TO GO if I'm going to take them home to the fam... yum lol Sorry no pictures because everyone was devoured quickly.

Most of the pastas leaned a bit on the bland side, but a little salt easily fixes that. My favorite was the spaghetti arrabbiata cuz it had a nice hint of spice. The steak portion was huge and filled the entire container, making it a great option for takeout. I've definitely had leftovers for days. The time it took to cook all five dishes was about 10-15 min, which was pretty fast for pick up delivery.

We ordered the grilled pork with rice and the chicken soup without noodles, and both were easily 10/10! Everything was packed with flavor and absolutely hit the spot. We're from the LA area, so unfortunately we can't come here all the time. But if I lived anywhere near San Jose, this would definitely be one of my go to spot. I will probably be here every week!

HOWEVER i am knocking off a star because the food isn't like insanely buss. banh mi 7/10 - charred baguette, pickles and onions and pulled pork i think? HOOWEE that lil sucker had some heat. i saw many pepper seeds inside. maybe i'm just a sorry westernized wimp. anyway the flavor was good but not good enough to buy again. ribs and rice and egg (forgot name sorry) - 8/10. came with yummy spicy sauce, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled shallot, fried egg, rice, and ribs. yum. egg was perfectly cooked and ribs had good flavor but a bit too oily. the rice could've been softer. however if you drown everything in the sauce it all works out well! soupless noodles - 6.5/10. too oily. broth was interesting and had some heat but there was barely any chicken and way too much lettuce. i am not trying to contract the taco bell worm today! for the price...a ripoff. overall it was worth a try but not coming back

I have tried the Tsukune twice now, a tasty meatball creation. Today I also had the Bara Tama, pork belly with thick slices of onion.

When I went to Japan last year, yakitori from the charcoal grill was one of the most memorable…read moremeals I've ever had. I won't forget how there were tasty options around every corner in Tokyo. Ever since I went to Japan last year, I crave delicious yakitori from a charcoal grill in the Bay Area and always seek out new places to try. I finally tried Okibiyaki-Kikuchi as a yakitori pop-up at ShaKa brewing after eyeing it for a long time. The grilled meat skewers were so delicious and enjoyable to eat with a cold beer flight from ShaKa brewing. The chef is a master of yakitori. I tried hatsu, kalbi, shishito, kimo, and bara tama. I can describe a perfect night like this. A perfect night included skewers from the live ember grill by the master chef and a beer flight. The flavors are legit-- the process of preparing the meat is impressive, and the technique with the charcoal grill brings out the best flavors. The Bay Area is treated to authentic flavors like in Japan. It is recommended that should arrive to the pop-up early as they ran out of the chicken skewers. I will absolutely order the chicken skin and thigh again and again. I also tried his pop up at Clandestine Brewery as well. The quality is so consistent and delicious. I like the vibe of eating like in a picnic style outdoors with a cold glass of beer. Nothing beats that for me. Follow @okibiyaki_kikuchi on IG to see where he pops up next.

Unfortunately, my second visit was a major disappointment and a waste of over $150. While the portions are generous, the quality just wasn't there this time. The smoked turkey leg tasted boiled and lacked flavor, the ribs were incredibly dry, and though the brisket was tender, it had no seasoning. I drove 35 minutes on a Friday hoping for another great meal, but the inconsistency was frustrating. I hope they can get back to their original quality.

I agree, there were definitely issues with…read morethe execution of the event - we had to wait in a long line out front for quite some time even though the organizers asked you to arrive early. Then you got inside and immediately waited in one line to get your tickets and another to select your table...then as soon as you got in you waited in ANOTHER long line to order a drink. Definitely poor planning on part of the event organizers. That said...the event itself was AMAZING! The decor, the staff, the food was phenomenal. Everything on the menu was themed based on the show and the portions were huge, we left very full. The entertainment was fun. For anyone who is a huge Game of Thrones fan, this was an event to remember. We dressed in theme and had a blast taking pictures with the props. It seems the event organizers have some kinks to work out with the venue but I would definitely attend another themed event by them.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!…read more Here's the breakdown: ENTRANCE: lined up early to get the tables we wanted. Doors opened about an hour late. Many arrived there after work and didn't eat hoping to scarf down some good food, they were very disappointed. ALCOHOL: decent, pricey, comes with some memorabilia you can take home. If you ordered the pairing, you may or may not have the pairing in time with your meal. Cocktail hour was more than an hour, doors were still closed to the banquet room. Still starving. If you're not a drinker then you'll find yourself waiting/standing somewhere just people watching. FOOD: After over 2 hours you finally get a small appetizer. The butter on the table was apparently decoration for bread that will be served way later and cold. The food comes in slowly and cold. You can tell it was sitting out long. By the way, you share the small servings with other starving attendants who'll hopefully leave some good stuff on the platter for you. "SHOW": there was no show. There were people dressed up as characters, they recited random lines from the show and sometimes poorly. One "scene" did not connect with the previous one. It was literally "actors" saying 2-3 lines then getting off stage. They make for good pictures later though. SERVICE: order every drink you'll ever want at the beginning because it will take you that long to get your drink. Ask to pay the bill before everyone else does because it actually took an over an HOUR (no joke) to get the bill and pay it after we've eaten and asked for the bill. It was a 3-4 course meal and it took forever to get our food...FOREVER. I'm pregnant and had a headache because i was so hungry. I survived off preggy pops and water. DECORATIONS: like a high school Halloween party. Staff dressed up looked good though. OVERALL: good concept, poor execution. I enjoyed going with my family and having a shared experience of something we all enjoyed but we could've thrown a party of our own at home. Would not go again. 2 stars

Say less. We ordered the Short Rib/Bone Marrow Fried Rice & Pork Crackling Sandwich, simply because we're suckers for anything served with bone marrow and we love the crunch factor, respectively. Our experience here was yet another reminder to take everything with a grain of salt. The flavors were okay and the preparation left much to be desired. Food came out SUPER fast and I'm convinced the dishes are not made to order but rather heated up in a microwave. Fried rice tasted like a breakfast remix of leftover dinner. Pork was chewy and hardly 'crackling'. Bun wasn't even toasted so ended up being a soggy mess that fell apart when handling it. The warmest part of our meal were the waffles fries. Sad. The stars are solely for the cute, clean decor & servers checking in on us during our meal. We clearly missed something, maybe their high ratings are for their drinks... D-D Disappointed and embarrassed for what the cooks are doing here. If you're reading this, don't fall for the hype. Go elsewhere.
