Not bad - just average. Came on a whim as someone from out of town & ordered the MINI CRISPY SHRIMP SHUMAI, and the BEEF UDON. The flavors were not bad but nothing felt super authentic - not that you would expect authentic Asian food from a place in Lompoc.... Overall it all just felt a lil meh but the quality wasn't bad read more

Lompoc didn't have many eateries that opened late! We loved how this place did! Ambiance is kinda basic, but at least there were plenty of tables and seating! They did decorate for Christmas, so inside was festive! And they had a tv, which kept us entertained. I believe the owners were the staff helping us, so food was ordered in a timely matter and food came out pretty quickly. It was not busy, which I expected in a small town and since it was late, but there were customers. Food is great! And the rice bowls are large! Couldn't even finish our food after everything we ordered! Be careful of the spicy Korean dish though. Forgot the name- but it's like a rice noodle in red sauce! Wow, soooo spicy that I wish she gave us a proper warning before we wasted our money on the dish! Would come back here if in the area! read more

My boyfriend lives in Lompoc part time and we are exploring new food places... he's been here before but this was my first time. Fantastic! Both of us love Asian food. Especially spicy! We shared spicy garlic edamame, spicy kimchi fried rice and calamari.... Both had miso soup, he had the spicy chicken bowl and I had spicy chicken Ramen. No, I wasn't kidding about the spicy part! Lol. Yes, we ordered enough food for five people. No, we did not finish it all! Yes, we did have a second serving at midnight while watching movies! The food here is fantastic. Service was great. They close a little early, at 8:30 on a Friday.... But I think everywhere in Lompoc does. There was only one other table with people eating when we got there at almost 8. It did seem like they were doing a lot of business on to go orders. But if you have not been here, I highly suggest you go try it. They have a large enough menu with options for everyone. Very cute inside. Our waitress was very helpful and so sweet. We met the owner briefly who was equally pleasant. We will definitely be back. read more

Chow-Ya - Medium spicy ramen with chicken and veggies. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lompoc, California

This place is extremely under-appreciated and slept on. Their spicy ramen is soul food and brightens my mood anytime I have it. The spicy ramen has a strong kick to it and the flavors are Amazing. Their fried rice is great too but not pictured. The two appetizers I got are in the photos and they were delicious as well. I've been coming here for years and I'll be sad to leave this place behind when I leave. The front workers are the sweetest and she always remembers your order if you're a repeat customer. This place is a 20/5 for me and if I could give more stars I would. Truly the gem of Lompoc. read more

On our way to see the Space X launch, we stopped by to get food to go. There was a great amount of food and it tasted delicious. Service was awesome. read more

I come here for my lunch break. Really healthy options! But you do have to call well in advance if you want to call in the pick up but it's worth it! read more

It's a cute place lots of seating! The service was okay, I could tell they were busy with takeout orders and were understaffed so the food took a while to come out. Nevertheless the food was worth the wait! We got the jalapeño poppers, poke bowl, and the spicy chicken ramen it was all super yummy! read more

Ok so first time i went here, it was fantastic. Got a spicy beef bowl. It was quick and easy to order for lunch and the service was great! The second time i went it was not so good. The beef was very chewy, and i sat inside so that was cool, but i felt like the quality had gone down in the beef cuts substantially. I will try a third time. Maybe i just got a bad batch. Edible fat is fine with me, but chunks of gristle over and over that i literally have spit out are not. Looking forward to visit number 3. Could have been an easy five stars. read more

VEGAN EATERS HERE.....Lompoc has a peculiar relationship with restaurants. While there have been some unique spots including Eye on I and the former Scratch Kitchen, it is a town that seems poised on the edge of discovering people who love there actually LOVE good food. In the meantime, it does offer a few rather noteworthy establishments that just serve great food, with consistently high quality at reasonable prices where I know we always leave, thinking of our next visit and wishing was just a little closer to us. Chow-Ya is on top of this list. It never disappoints, ever and you always leave with leftovers and have paid the surprisingly reasonable cheque. Did I mention how incredibly FRESH everything is??? It is singularly unpretentious, spotless, convenient and the combination of Asian foods (Japanese/Korean/Chinese) is not muddled and ultimately super satisfying. Kind, thoughtful staff, the cooks in the kitchen always wave goodbye. Popped in the other day at the end of lunch service (2:00pm) and rather than sending us packing or worse, looking for someplace else, staff just smiled and warmly invited us in, we were soon followed by several other stragglers who were just as happy as we were. Today it was their epic Crispy Tofu Teriyaki Bowl and Vegetable Udon Bowl, both shared and still took leftovers for another full meal and the Vegetable Croquets which we'd never tried before and were worth the whole meal!! NOT TO BE MISSED. Photos as proof! If you live in Lompoc, you are very lucky. read more

Great place a casual, tasty meal! We usually get their chicken udon for take out, and it's delicious. Very friendly and good service, definitely give this place a try! read more

Chop this place in half then half again and it would be any Tokyo restaurant. Good service. Menu is both Japanese and Korean. Loved their yakisoba (fried noodles) and Udon (thick noodle soup) Authentic. Prices are reasonable for quality and ample portions. Lompoc has a real treasure in this place. read more

First time visiting this place. We got the sweet potato fries and it's for the best seasoning and that sauce goes so well with it. We also got the man doo and it was alright, the sauce is a little spicy but not too bad either. We also got the jalapeño shrimp and they were huge! Tasted pretty good but I was pleasantly surprised by the size of them. The ramen had a very tasty beef and it's not too salty just perfect mild spice read more

We always love it here! Our favorite is the combo yakisoba. We like to add extra veggies.

First time here. Great chicken bowl. Very delicious and fresh. Very friendly staff as well. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. read more

Small local place that seems to be a neighborhood favorite from all the take-out business it got while I was there. Got there an hour before it closed so we were the only ones there but people kept walking in to get their order. We ordered the Man-doo appetizer that was good but watch out for the dipping sauce cause the spice sneaks up on you. The chicken rice bowl has fresh veggies, the chicken was most but rice was a bit too sticky. The gyoza soup was ok. Found the broth bland but added the spicy sauce from the Man-doo and that made it better. Service was friendly. This place is worth the try. read more

Solid beef and chicken bowls and the dynamite appetizer is pretty good as well. The ramen and udon dishes are really underwhelming though and I've found the service here to be questionable during their busy lunch rushes. read more

I appreciated the quick service I definitely will be returning for more poke! It was a easy no hassle takeout!

The quintessential definition of a lowered standards decent review. It's easily the cleanest Asian food in a town with none. Good portion size with quality ingredients. The food seems to have a fusion identity crisis. I don't really know who's winning between Korean, Japanese, Chinese, or any other vague cuisine. Much of what I've tried is the equivalent to a dish being described to someone, and they try and re-create it based on memory. I want to like it more, but something is definitely missing. read more

Stopped in first time for dinner take-out. Lady taking orders at counter was very nice and patient. Spicy beef bowl with Kim chi was very good. It was very spicy and would order again. Also the sweet chili crispy chicken bowl was also very good. Both orders came with Miso soup which was also very good. I will definitely be back. read more

Best restaurant in lompoc. I almost always order the ahi tuna salad or the veggie bowl. Both are great. Use to go here when it first opened years ago and was delighted to find that it was still as good today. read more

Highly recommend!!! My wife and I enjoyed a great meal! We ordered the vegetable egg rolls and fried sweet potatoes for appetizers. She ordered the vegetable fried rice and I ordered the beef and chicken bowl with brown rice and avocado! The ambiance, the fragrance, and the taste were amazing. read more

Chow-Ya - a sign on the side of a building - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lompoc, California

It's okay. Entrees are generous. You can easily split one yakisoba bowl between two adults. The beef was ok but tough. The chicken was better. Appetizers were my favorite. Service was fine. Definitely kid friendly dinners and they have high chairs for babies. With that said, I wouldn't come back here voluntarily. Might as well just go to Panda Express or a sushi place for basically the same flavors at comparable prices. read more

so so for food. Ramen is like instant noodle, far away from real Japanese ramen and pork is not the real pork for ramen. I wouldn't recommend for 2nd visit. read more

Overall, recommend this restaurant! They have many different Asian dishes so you're bound to find something you'd like. The food can take awhile to get to you (~45 minutes) but you can tell it's fresh. Prices are pretty average. BEST fried rice my boyfriend & I have ever eaten. We order it more times than I'd like to admit. I haven't tried much else -- Just the beef bulgogi, which I wasn't the biggest fan of but my boyfriend was. read more

The food was good the service she tried, but she was working alone and she had a lot of people coming in the place is decent it's clean and it's nice. The prices are so so I guess it's the going rate right now not too bad. read more

Food was pretty tasty - it came out pretty quickly, used fresh ingredients and was hot!! The girls working up front were busting their butts....it kept getting busier the later it got. Only drawback was one of our table of 8 didn't get their food with the others. 20 min later, still no food so asked for a refund. Refund and apologies were given... then food was brought out as everyone was getting ready to leave. I still ate it, it was yummy. I would eat here again if I was in the area read more

My family and I went in yesterday evening. It was completely empty. The waitress was super duper nice . We were seated right away . The place was very clean. She took our order relatively quick . Brought our drinks and miso soup. However, any kind of changes to the order like omitting cabbage from a bowl there is a fee. Changing cabbage to broccoli a few. The food itself was ok. Will I be back maybe not . But the waitress was cool and the place was clean . read more

After visiting the mission we stopped here for lunch and it was very good. The veggies were fresh and you can tell they chop as they prepare your food. The service was good as well. Restrooms were clean (it's says a lot about hygiene of the place). Overall we plan to return when we are in the area. We were so hungry we forgot to take pic of our food. We tried chicken udon, chicken yakisobo, egg rolls. read more

Ok guys! So props to the owner. She takes care of the front of the house alone in a timely manner. About two weeks ago I was dining in with my boys and saw her getting yelled at by a Karen. Yes I said Karen! Why? Because she was saying she will never return because apparently she was paying too much. Owner repeated her order and just went ham once she told her the total. Owner was trying to offer her a discount because since she was upset and the Karen wasn't specifying the issue. Oh I love this lady and she doesn't even know it. I would of just said ma'am, you may leave and being very disrespectful. Well anywho, food is the bomb! Jalapeño poppers are to die for. Plates are pretty big servings so I'd share. Have some sweet green tea read more

This is just a time complaint as I have yet to taste the food. I placed an order over the phone and was told it would be ready in 40 minutes, seemed kinda long but whatever, foods made fresh great reviews as long as it's good who cares. I show up to get my food, I pay, then am told to have a seat, ok, guess it'll be right out, I'm here another 20 minutes and still have not received my order, that now I've already paid for so can't leave. Ugh. read more
