    Needed lunch and found this place. Walking in lighting is low lit with descent amount of seating. Grab a menu on side of register and order. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki and u get a choice of two sides...I got rice and fries. Chicken Teriyaki was good....fries were good. If you're in the area swing by and check it out.

    We were in town for the holiday weekend. This place popped up as a nearby eatery that was open and well rated. We were greeted by what appeared to be the owner operator . A true one man show. He promptly brought us waters and menus .... Took our order, greeted other patrons, then went back to prepare our food. It was amazing, super generous portions and very reasonably priced . Highly recommend!

    Beef bulgolgi

    The picture on the website showed the bulgolgi with carrots and zucchini. Turns out it doesn't come with any of that. Also they don't have spoons to eat the miso soup.

    I don't know how this place was empty when we walked in, but for one man to make all this food .. round of applause . I got egg rolls * smashed * couldn't even take a picture cause that's how good it was. I ordered teriyaki and rice & sesame chicken ... my mouth was watering looking at it, soon as took that first bite .. lord I knew it was so so good.. didn't realize I ordered so much food but I workout a lot so this is good for me! Best Asian restaurant I've had in a long time. 10/10.

    Lunch Special: Chicken and Gyoza Combo French fries + salad
    PinnPinn S.

    Underrated and hidden gem of a place! Super affordable and definitely a bang for your buck! Came on a monday around 12pm and there was barely anyone. Only 1 worker but he came out with our food super fast! Me and friend got the Monday Lunch Special: Chicken and Gyoza Combo (which gives you Teriyaki Chicken, 5 pieces of fried gyoza, and 2 sides for ONLY $11) THATS CRAZY!! From the sides you can pick between: White rice, brown rice, salad, french fries, or miso soup. I got white rice and salad, my friend got brown rice and french fries. The owner (I assume) gave us separate checks to me and my friend without even asking which was amazing. Usually you'd have to ask for split checks or just venmo each other but the person automatically placed 2 separate checks for me and my friend :') Our bill came out to $12.13 EACH with tax and however much more depending on what you tip. Honestly if I lived nearby, I would frequent here often! Super worth the price!!

    The meat quality here is excellent! I ordered the chicken and beef teriyaki, beef short ribs, and a half portion of chicken breast teriyaki. By far, this is the best I've had--a true hidden gem! There's only one employee (I'm assuming the owner), but the food comes out fast, and everything is cooked perfectly. The place is also very clean, which is always a big plus. Highly recommend!

    Please read first Ok only reason this place is getting a 3 stars and not a 4 or 5 is because besides the delicious food the gentleman with the earpiece is serving Attitude! Don't know if he is the owner or just a worker but Dmn he was on one. So I ordered right when they opened and he might have been flustered but he even got more upset when I asked for some condiments. Ok let's talk food! You actually get two sides with each order and honestly for the price point it's a great deal! Rice 5 out of 5 believe it or not many places these days cannot make white rice anymore Chicken teriyaki 4 out of 5 good quality meat just needs more flavor Fries 5 out 5 Side salad dressing is good 4 out of 5 Chicken thigh breaded 4 out of 5..actually a bit sweet Attitude 0 out of 10! Lol

    Miso soup and partially eaten French fries
    Eva M.

    Itadakimasu is an efficient little eatery, with food at 3 to 4 stars, rounded up to 4 stars for cost and portion. Modest and simple in its approach and menu, their success is reasonable food at generous portions and low cost. For a university area restaurant, it's not bad. We arrived at 5:30 or so. They were already inundated with take-out orders and walk-ins for pickups; we were informed of a 45 min wait, to which we agreed. When it passed the 45 min mark, the wait staff offered us a free side - miso soup, salad, etc. The Food: Chicken Katsu and Gyoza combo special for the day, $11 - 4 Stars The chicken katsu is flavorfully seasoned with a good katsu sauce. The chicken itself is relatively thin, but just thick enough for the chew and texture. It comes with 2 sides, choosing between white/brown rice, soup, salad, French fries. This was good enough that we decided to get 2 more orders to take home. Beef Teriyaki and Tempura combo, $11 - 3 Stars Comes with two sides. The flavor of the beef teriyaki is pretty good, though the meat pieces are somewhat thin. The tempura is a huge no-no though. Just get a normal beef teriyaki instead, skip the tempura. Veggie Stir-fry, add prawns, add tofu, $13 - 3 Stars Comes with two sides. The flavor of the sauce is pretty good though a tad salty. The added prawns are too cooked. The added tofu has the same ultra-thick coating as the tempura. Ask for non-fried tofu or don't order the tofu. There's an adjacent parking lot, but I suspect it's for Cedars only. We parked on the street instead.

    Side of French Fries
    Mike L.

    From the outside, itadakimasu reminds me of a low-key bar. When walking in you'll get the feel of a dive bar - it's dimly lit with plastic covered booths and a bar. Inside there's only one person working - he takes orders (both dine in and togo), busses, serves, and cooks. I ordered the chicken breast teriyaki plate which comes with two sides you can pick (brown/white rice, fries, miso soup, or salad). The chicken was good quality and the teriyaki sauce was okay (it was more salty than anything). There was a slight layer of oil that separated from the sauce but overall not bad. The fries weren't heavily salted and came as a nice side. Overall, the meal was just okay. It can be a little bit of a wait since there's only one person working.

    Tuna Poke ($10)
    Wendi K.

    We came by to grab some bites at a casual spot. It was sort of hard to find. Poke ($10) was nicely seasoned and salty. Takoyaki ($6) came out searing hot out of the fryer - I also found it quite bland, it definitely could have used more sauce. Spam misubi ($3) was average, had a thin piece of spam - I prefer more caramelization/sauce. The mochiko chicken ($8) was the biggest disappointment- dry and flavorless with a slightly sweet aftertaste. It didn't come with any dipping sauce. Maybe it's more worth it to have an actual meal here as I wasn't very impressed by the small plates.

    An absolute treat in all sense of the word!…read more We made reservations for an early dinner on Saturday, and glad we did because there was a never ending stream of people. By 6pm every seat was taken, including the bar. Highly recommend reservations. We had the cauliflower, squash blossom, squid ink fried rice, and the NY steak. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. The cauliflower was cooked perfectly and had a really lovely smokey-ness to it. The sesame and almond puree and mint oil was divine. Honestly I could have made a whole meal of the cauliflower. The shrimp in the squash blossom was a delightful burst of flavor and texture. The sauces, while quite strong on their own, did not overpower the squash blossom, and each bite could have different flavors based on the sauce combinations. The squid ink fried rice had good textured rice AND the nori seasoning was perfect. I didn't get a lot of kimchi flavor, but it was truly a perfect fried rice- a little salty, you could tell it was fried but not greasy or oily, and a good complement to the steak. The steak was cooked perfectly. Each bite was so tender, and every part was the same level of done. A perfect medium rare. I don't know what they did to the brussel sprouts, but it was one of the best brussel sprout dishes I've ever had. There was a sauce with the steak (maybe dwenjang based?) that added such a nice deep salty and savory touch to the steak. We left feeling quite full, and about $200 poorer. Overall highly recommend. The staff was friendly and informative, interior was cozy and inviting, and the food was 10 out of 10.

The entrées had really beautiful presentation, but the flavor surprise we found in the appetizer wasn't there in the mains. I didn't care much for the salad, broccoli, and sprouts. The kimchi over rice would've been a better pairing, or even a new take on potatoes or different vegetables. The service was good, but not exceptional. For the price we paid, taste should come first. Some of the ingredients and pairings just felt random. Basically, good, but not $230-for-two good.

The Rose Ttoekbokki with cheese was very yummy, but it kinda tasted like pasta with rice cakes instead of spaghetti. I think that is the point of this dish, so if you want a more traditional spicy flavor then get the other ttoekbokki option (spicy rice cakes). We still loved this one and the rice cakes were so chewy and delicious. The cheese corn was very yummy and exactly what you would expect. It pairs perfectly with the other dishes. My friends also shared the Seafood ramen and Beef bulgogi. They liked both dishes. One of our favorite things were the side dishes actually! The tofu was so yummy, and the bean sprouts were so crunchy and well seasoned. We even asked for extra! The only aspect that makes it difficult to come more often is the price point.

The rice at the bottom was dry like it should be in a clay pot, but lacking really any of that slightly-burnt, hard qualities that makes a clay pot rice what it is. It just tasted dry.

The service is top-notch, as her daughter was working there. The staff was very attentive. It feels less like eating at a restaurant and more like eating at your favorite Korean friend's mom's home after being spontaneously invited for dinner. The restaurant is meticulously clean and elegant, which makes you just want to eat. In fact, the food was so wonderful that I hardly spoke a word between moaning and eating. To cap off our meal, they provided this delicious cinnamon ginger drink to help settle our very full tummies.
