El Chingon Hibachi - Food that was ordered - Teppanyaki Near Me - Corona, California

Arrived and tables were almost full. I was greeted as I walked to the counter. If you're eating in they'll take your order at the table and serve drinks. Also they'd serve you wonton chips, the sauce !?!? Also thought it was kinda interesting having sugar on my wonton I ordered a samurai surf, chicken and shrimp. It came with miso soup and green salad. The chicken was all white meat, very dry. The sauce was some kind of soy sauce. The shrimp was meh, grilled and charred well. The mixed veggies were good. Broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, good! The fried rice, meh. Overall an OK place Can't tell if they're trying to be a sit down restaurant or take out. Their model is kind of a hybrid The staff is very welcoming and serve /help the patrons. read more

Eating inside restaurant will get you much better quality than ordering to go. The place is casual. Good service. Spicy noodles are perfect

Food & service were amazing! Good portions too. The whole staff was friendly & our waitress Danna was extremely pleasant & went above and beyond! We did have to correct a couple things but they all dealt with it quickly, professionally, & kindly. Highly recommend & will be back! Thanks again Danna :) read more

First impression. Quiet at 11:54 am, super clean. Staff is very helpful in explaining all the options. I got two items and the flavors are basically the same. Beef burrito and the Beef yakisoba - came with fried rice. The flavors are there but they are just not flavorful enough for my palette. Seems a bit light on the tongue. It's definitely edible food. For the price on some of the items I'm not sure if it's worth the portions of meat. They give you plenty of rice and noodles. The food is not greasy which is a great thing. I can say it's a 3 out of 5 stars. It's probably a great option if you need a cleaner place to eat especially if you're on a specific diet and for fitness enthusiasts. I may give it a try again soon. It's a good option for me if I am in a specific diet. Give it a try for something new. read more

Great food fresh and healthy I would come here again better than Waba grill Family oriented Nice dinner for a weekend read more

Hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time! The Spicy Chicken Rice & Noodles at El Chingon is absolute fire (in the best way possible). Perfectly cooked noodles tossed with tender, juicy chicken that's coated in this addictive spicy sauce that hits all the right spots - bold, garlicky, a little smoky, and just the right amount of heat that keeps you going back for more. The portion is massive, the flavors are insanely balanced, and that little kick lingers in the most satisfying way. I'm already craving it again. If you love bold, spicy, comforting food that punches you in the taste buds and leaves you happy, this dish is a MUST. El Chingon has a new regular in me! read more

El Chingon Hibachi - spicy chicken noodles and rice - Teppanyaki Near Me - Corona, California

We had not had the opportunity to visit this relatively new restaurant but had heard good things about it. My wife had the vegetarian plate w/tofu & I had the chicken yakasoba which was great. Not many places serve this dish but their version was spot on! The service was more than polite and they knew their food. The decor is simple but clean. They did appear to have a good to go business. Will definitely return. read more

Food was great! Ordered several king bowls and they give good portions for the price. The vegetables were made crispy to my liking... Ordered via the Toast App, which made it for easy pickup. Would nice to get extra sauce. Service was good. Inside looked like it had ample space for large groups. read more

I'm glad my brother found this food spot after the gym. The serving we got fed both of us and we had leftovers. The restaurant was clean and the service with quick and kind. He answered all our questions and was honest about the serving size. It is located in a warehouse area off of the freeway going towards Temescal Valley. Delicious flavor and I love that they have fit bowls for after the gym or on the go meals when I'm tired of waba or flame broiler. read more

I'd been looking forward to trying this place and finally got the chance. The staff was friendly, but not very helpful even after I mentioned it was my first time here. I ordered a bowl with steamed rice, noodles, and shrimp, along with a drink. The noodles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the rice and shrimp were good--though I wish there had been more shrimp. Overall, it felt a little pricey for what we got. I'll probably have to check out some of the other menu options before deciding if I'd come back. read more

Was riding down Temecal Canyon Rd to Toms Farms and noticed HIBACHI signs. Wow! We need this! Timescale Valley needs this! We xhecked out the online menu and pix. Read both google and Yelp reviews. I have to tell you, this place deserves 5 syats! Especially when we were juat orderingbt To Go. What a great find. Apparently it's been here for 2 months. We ordered the Tokio Street burrito with Shrimp. This was delish my hubby said. I ordered Hibachi King Bowl w/ Shrimp and Chicken. I also ordered hibachi veggies on side. Wow was this a lot of food. It could of fed 4 people easily. It was delish, felt healthy and quick. The restaurant was super clean, the employees were very helpful and nice. They have grat sauces. Some came with a meal and I ordered more. They are very helpful to accommodate. The only thing I might ask them to reconsider is theory unchanged for theor hibachi grilled veggies. They really are that good but please give me twice the amount if they cost $5.00. Or add them as an add on with a meal for $2.75 They were building a patio area outside. So there will be that too, when it it cooler out. Friends, give them some orders and eat here! Totally worth it. Oh and order accordingly 2 means 4 people! Yay! Fortune cookies were the best read more

First time dining here and it will definitely not be our last. Called ahead to check on wait time for 2. Was advised could be seated right away. We showed up within 10 minutes and the waitress Elvia had a table reserved for us with a complimentary basket of sweet wonton chips and dipping sauce. We were not expecting that thoughtfulness and were really surprised and happy to be greeted that way. The food was absolutely amazing! Very flavorful and cooked perfectly. Staff was friendly and attentive. The decor was really fun. Can't wait to go back and try the entire menu. Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly staff and amazing food. read more

El Chingon Hibachi - Kanji - Teppanyaki Near Me - Corona, California

I was actually excited to try this place. I took my kids and they could not chew the steak. Steak quality was poor and chewy. Both the kids plate and the adult bowl the meat was tough. Chewy and lacked flavor. I got the half and half bowl. The noodles were a bit dry. Staff was polite but food was not great. I had high hopes El Chingon but sorry we won't be back. Kids plate, the kids need to at least be able to eat the meat not spit it all out saying it's too tough. Gyoza was good. Disappointed! read more

This place is delicious! Fresh, healthy, great flavor and amazing portions at a good price. Got a couple king bowls with tofu, chicken, steak and loaded fries with shrimp. Love that they aren't skimpy on the portions here. You truly get your money's worth. The sauce here is so good too! Hope they never change what they are doing this will def keep the customers coming back. Happy to have such a yummy place close by where there are not a lot of food options.

Will be back soon. read more

El Chingon Hibachi - The inside ..it's a cool little spot. Clean and new excited to try the food - Teppanyaki Near Me - Corona, California

I'm sorry but please don't be fooled by reviews and photos. They definitely invest in photos but not in quality or service. I came here and no one greeted me instead an employee was sitting down on her phone. It was my first time visiting and I didn't know whether I had to sit down or go and order in the front. Staff didn't talk just brought the food and placed it on the table. Table didn't have utensils and nor did anyone bring utensils. Food was eh but customer service and environment was horrible. read more

I just got out of the hospital with the worst food poisoning I've ever had in my life. I'm reporting you to the board of health. Nobody should eat here. Cook your chicken better!!!! Jesus .... 3 days of absolute torture because i had half of one of your "street burritos" I should send you my hospital bill... Nothing chignon about being sick for 4 days. read more

The cashier at the front was very nice. The food on the other hand was okay. I ordered a King Bowl with fried rice, veggies, and teriyaki chicken. The rice was good, but really overcooked. The veggies had good flavor, but were overcooked. The teriyaki sauce was actually really really good, and the chicken was good. I was just bummed about the rice. read more

Easy on the seasoning: Last night, I saw El Chiton Hibachi while driving on the freeway and decided to give it a try for the first time. The place looks clean and well-kept, and the customer service was friendly and quick. I placed a to-go order. While waiting, I noticed a couple dining in who didn't finish their food -- it looked like they only ate the protein and left the rest. That caught my attention. When I got home and opened my order (tofu and beef with noodles and vegetables)I could immediately tell there was too much seasoning. The amount of seasoning was overwhelming -- it covered up the natural taste of the tofu and beef. The noodles were the same. I only ended up eating the tofu and beef and left the noodles and vegetables. If you're eating and drinking soda, this might work. But I was hoping for something on the healthier side. Unless the cook goes lighter on the seasoning, I don't think this place is for me. read more

El Chingon Hibachi - Teppanyaki Near Me - Corona, California

Hidden gem alert in Corona! I almost didn't go in because the parking lot was dark and empty on a Monday night--but I'm SO glad we did. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and genuinely great service. The waitress/cashier, Elvia was super helpful, explained the menu, and gave solid recommendations. We planned to order to-go but ended up dining in because the place was clean, cozy, and inviting. It's a small, quaint restaurant, but don't let that fool you--the food is . We ordered King Bowls with fried rice, noodles, steak, and chicken. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the sauces were perfect. Big plus: the chicken is made with chicken breast, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. This spot deserves WAY more traffic than it gets. If you're on the fence, go in--you won't regret it. I'll definitely be back to try more, and I've already recommended it to my coworkers (I work only 15 minutes away!). read more

The food was amazing and the service awesome. It was super clean and their sauces that they bring you are soo good.

I loved it and my whole family did as well. read more

Just wasted $80 on a bunch of rice an noodles. Got a steak burrito, a chicken burrito and a shrimp burrito. All three were packed full of rice and noodles and almost no meat. I also got the loaded hibachi steak fries, had barely any fries and almost no steak. It was nothing but rice and noodles with some fries sprinkled on top. And on top of that, everything was extremely salty and the little bit of meat had no flavor. This place is a no go. read more

Placed an order for pick up over the phone, staff was kind. Food was ready and packed very well. Fried rice was very flavorful as well as the steak, shrimp and chicken. It came with a side salad and miso soup. Inside was very clean and beautifully decorated. I will say it was a little pricey, but the serving size was nice so I could eat a few times from it definitely made it worth it. read more

Not sure why this place only has four stars, definitely a five star experience for myself. I ordered a child's portion - Steak, Fried Rice and Noodles plus I got one of each sauce offered to test them all out. Also got potstickers (dumplings). Let's start with the sauces - Ginger Sauce A++ you could put it on a shoe and I'd still eat it! The Yum Sauce B+ but keep in mind it's never my favorite so still a good option if you like that style sauce. Teriyaki Sauce A it's a good typical sauce. I did not try anything spicy. Now on to the meal - the steak was a bit done but still very good, I would've liked it just a bit more undercooked - I'm not saying mooing but just a tad quicker off the grill. The rice and noodles were good, again not mind blowing but very yummy and better than Panda or any other fast food of this type. I'd go back and try more and actually I can't wait to go back to try more. This was a DoorDash order but I have seen the location (it's next to where I get pedicures done). The location seems clean, and plenty of space inside to sit and enjoy your meal. read more

We have been driving past this place for the past few months and have been talking about that we should try it. My kids and I love Hibachi so this week we finally went and give this restaurant a try. I am very happy we did. When you walk in there is a nice space with lots of tables to sit at. Each table has sauces for you that you can use. The first thing we noticed, it is not a traditional hibachi style restaurant where they cook in front of you. They just make all the food in the back and then bring it out. The second thing to know, is that you will need to walk up and order and then you go sit down at the table. They give you wonton chips and sauce and call it chips and salsa which I thought was clever. We ordered a few things, my son had a burrito with shrimp, noodles and fried rice, I had a veggie hibachi plate which came with lots of fresh veggies. I also ordered a side of fried rice. My daughter had a miso soup, dumplings and shrimp tempura. The food came out very quickly, was reasonably priced and super fresh. The sauces were great as well. I can't emphasize how fresh the food was and how good everything tasted. The staff was super friendly and I for one can't wait to go back and eat there again. If you like asian food with a Mexican twist, this is the place for you. I liked it better than your traditional hibachi places like Benihana. read more

Like a previous review stated- I am not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars too. The food I ordered was delicious. Veggies were fresh, chicken and shrimp cooked perfectly and the fried rice was super tasty. Tbh it doesn't really need the sauce but with the sauce it takes it to another level. The ambiance was chill, the whole environment gave friendly vibes. Service was good as well. Overall would recommend and I'll be back. read more
