Curry is solid. Food is done right I got a katsu don. Eggs and onions with rice and katsu. Also great. Would order again Parking here I can tell is an issue.

The sides that came with the combo were interesting. I liked the root veggie thing and the lady liked the sesame paste tasting thingy. Not sure what either were. Miso soup had a nice clam flavor. Fried squid legs were cooked really well. Definitely as for more lemon and I wish there were some sauce to dip it in Parking here is terrible just a heads up. Good service and a smaller interior. wasn't much of a wait though

Had a fun, casual lunch date at CHOBOP AYCE Sushi! We went with the Premium menu, and there were so…read moremany options to choose from! We started with the seaweed salad and yakitori, which were both tasty and made great appetizers. As nigiri lovers, we were excited to try all the different selections. My favorites were definitely the toro and yellowtail, and the uni was sweet and delicious! One thing I really appreciated was the fish-to-rice ratio. The nigiri had a small amount of rice, so you could really enjoy the fish without feeling too full too quickly. The fresh rolls were also yummy, with a good amount of fish and nicely balanced seasoning. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for good AYCE sushi at a great price. The staff were also super kind and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable! What we ordered: -Seaweed Salad -Yakitori -Nigiri (tuna, toro, salmon, salmon belly, sweet shrimp, scallop, yellowtail, albacore, uni, salmon egg) -Pepper Me Crazy (in: spicy tuna, cucumber, top: yellowtail, jalapeno, sauce: mustard, hot sauce) -Salmon In & Out (in: spicy salmon, cucumber, jalapeno, top: salmon, jalapeno, sauce: spicy mustard, hot sauce) -Kaboom (in: spicy tuna, cucumber, jalapenos, top: albacore, jalapenos, green onions, sauce: garlic ponzu, hot sauce) -Tuna & Salmon Temaki (hand rolls)

We came on a Saturday afternoon and were seated as soon as we arrived. Parking wasn't an issue it's…read morein a plaza. The restaurant was a decent size, with a variety of tables and booths, including a few tables near the bar. Our waitress brought us a menu along with a paper order sheet for the sushi. There were both à la carte and AYCE options, and we chose the AYCE option, which was $38.95 per person on the weekend. For the side dishes, they use a QR code menu. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a five-minute wait between orders, although I believe you can order multiple items at once. Side dishes were just ok. I did feel that the service was on the slower side, especially since the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. It took around 20-30 minutes for our first order to come out. As for the sushi, it was good overall. The fish-to-rice ratio was decent, and I appreciated that they didn't overload the sushi with rice. The portions felt well-balanced, making it easy to enjoy the fish without feeling like I was mostly eating rice. My favorites were probably the uni, yellowtail, and bluefin tuna toro nigiri. The hand rolls were a little disappointing, as they were smaller than I expected. However, if you prefer smaller hand rolls, then the size may be just right for you.

I've heard great reviews about this place so I was excited. Beef curry bowl (5/5); I just wanted a bite of curry so I got this. I ordered a small and holy this was massive. I didn't know there was a runny egg also so thats bonus with the added texture of creaminess. The beef was fatty and portion was generous. The curry was great as well. Tempura Zaru (5/5): I was really craving udon on a hot day so this was perfect. It comes with a few pieces of tempura (shrimp and vegetable). Perfect side dish for the udon. The udon is dipped in a cold citrus sweet concentrated sauce. I really liked how the udon bounces the taste of the sauce. I was excited about this place already and it exceeded my expectations. Definitely might be one of my top restaurants in OC.

We shared a grilled beef/cow tongue and it was perfectly seasoned and topped with finely chopped scallions. Very good! My friends really enjoyed their fresh udon and soba noodles. They kept raving loudly about how good the meal was, I think we are coming back!

Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I would definitely come back the next time I'm craving mazemen.
