    Korean BBQ Pork Belly (Left) and Grilled Filet Mignon Steak Bowl (Right)
    Evan M.

    Inside the New Haven Market in West Covina, they have a shop specializing in a Japanese/korean/western fusion. We tried their top of the line bowls, the Filet Mignon Bowl and the Korean BBQ Pork Belly bowl. The meat itself was pretty good, a little chewy for both. But the enoki mushroom tempura had a weird stringy texture that didn't compliment their otherwise perfect crunchy tempura exterior. They also come with kale and kimchi which works, but not the expected Japanese combination. The sauce tasted overall pretty standard more concentrated teriyaki. Given the price point for lunch, I expected a bit more. I feel that their more economical bowls may like feel like a better value, but their premium options were not worth it for me.

    Kaidon's pictures looked enticing for us to give them a try. We ordered the KBBQ Pork Belly Mountain Bowl and the "Legendary" Yakiniku Mountain Bowl through a kiosk, and a worker handed us a beeper for when our food is ready. The portions were great and the bowls had a lot of variety. In addition to a generous helping of meat, you also get some grilled seaweed and a few types of veggies. Our bowls had a good amount of flavor to them, and everything was well-balanced and working well together in terms of taste. If you're not sure what to get in Haven Market, Kaidon is definitely a safe choice!

    Legendary Yakiniku Mountain Bowl

    This is located inside Haven City Market in West Covina. We ordered through the kiosk and were given a beeper that went off after about 20 minutes. The food itself was quite delicious. Here's what I had: Legendary Yakiniku Mountain Bowl - It was like an elevated Yoshinoya beef bowl. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. It also came with fried enoki mushrooms and a side of seaweed, which were both delicious. I would definitely order this again. (5/5) Overall, it's a nice spot in the food court, and I like the setup. It's a bit on the pricey side, but the flavors definitely made it worth trying.

    Sirloin steak rice bowl. Side of fried chicken.

    I wanted to write a review to specifically shout out the incredible staff here. I ran into an issue where I had been waiting quite a while for my order. Turns out my order was lost. They remade my order and was so apologetic, even graciously included a free appetizer and drink to make up for it. They went above and beyond for me. I ordered the sirloin steak bowl and really enjoyed it. It comes with rice at the base, battered enoki mushroom, kimchi, nori, and crispy kale. A very hearty, balanced, and satisfying meal. My only criticism was that the sauce didn't quite taste "asian" to me and felt like it was missing something unami to it. Overall a really solid meal option in the haven city food hall!

    Inside the Haven market place next to the main seating area. The sign really attractive to me, I got the grilled rice bowl. It's really hearty Absolutely delicious, the only down side is that I went in a group and this came out after everyone else's food. It's a bit slower than the other restaurant. Next time id order this first.

    Delicious donburi at Haven City Market. The food comes out quickly but it's hot and fresh. Satisfied what I was craving at the time. Good price point also.

    so delicious! the grilled filet mignon steak bowl was so flavorful and tender, i feel like they were pretty generous with the amount of meat given the price too! would definitely return to try other dishes service was good, staff were friendly :)

    "LEGENDARY" Yakiniku Mountain Bowl
    Trinity T.

    We were very satisfied with Kaidon. It reminded us a bit of Japan (sorta) in terms of the food court set up and ordering. The food is made to order so it might have a small wait especially when they're busy. Everything came out nice and hot. The taste of everything was very good, the beef was tender and fatty. The pork pieces were massive and not chewy. The kimchi they use is delicious and packs a nice punch. The karaage was juicy and full of flavor, it didn't even need sauce. The portions are big and the mango smoothie was delicious. We can't wait to return to this food haul and have their food again!

    The sumptous serving of the food is superb! you can share it with a friend. It taste delicious and very satisfying. The service was fast, staff are very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is so relaxing, perfect place to unwind on a weekend with your family.

    Legendary Mountain beef bowl

    This spot is located inside Haven City. I ordered the Yakiniku Mountain Bowl and it was very yummy. I especially loved their wasabi-type sauce. The bowl was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, and the crispy enoki mushrooms were fresh and stayed crunchy the whole time. The portion was decent, but I'd suggest to add more rice since the bowl was only half-way filled. Overall it was very good and I may order again, but probably not quite worth the price.

    I've been coming to Haven City Marketplace for lunch and decided to give this spot a try. I ordered the kimchi chicken bowl. The food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. The first thing I noticed was the small amount of chicken meat in the center of the bowl. It looks like a good portion but thats from the positioning and presentation. The amount of veggies were also pretty lacking as compared to the advertised pictures they had on screen. Taste wise, the food was alright. There wasn't much chicken and sides in comparison to the amount of rice they give. Overall, the food was average and not worth it. I was expecting more meat and veggies, not 70% rice. They were also relatively expensive for a bowl especially compared to the neighboring chinese stalls. Can't say I would recommend this over anywhere else.

    Shady Gimmick - "This business offers free drinks if you give them a 5 Star Review.  I hate these gimmicks.  I refused the drink."
    Ian A.

    I had a good experience at Kaidon (West Covina). I ordered the Grilled Sirloin Steak Bowl ($23.99). It includes juicy sirloin steak, crispy fried enoki mushrooms, fresh kimchi, kale, seaweed, and clean steamed rice. This meal arrived picturesque and filling. (Quick Note: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment. In addition, this business uses a shady gimmick where they offer FREE drinks for 5 Star Reviews. I will attach a photo of this sketchy gimmick. I HATE it. This business needs more confidence in their abilities.) I arrived at Kaidon (West Covina) on Monday (around 6:49PM). Parking is competitive this late weekday, but I quickly found a spot since the lot is big. Staff (receipt says Ken) is professional and hardworking. Ken answered all my questions; Ken worked nonstop; and Ken was very welcoming. After ordering, Ken gave me an electronic pager that would buzz when my meal was ready. My food took 17 minutes and 12 seconds. As mentioned, I ordered the Grilled Sirloin Steak Bowl ($23.99). It's enjoyable. The steak is thick and juicy. And the steamed rice is fresh and clean. However, its aftertaste of kimchi and kale might dissuade some customers. Still, I found joy in this well-prepared bowl. The crunchy enoki mushrooms also reminded me of a crisp vegetable tempura. Concerning ambiance, Kaidon (West Covina) is a food stall in the popular Haven City Market. The location is very clean with plentiful seating. Also, I enjoy the upbeat music and many flat screen TVs that play the basketball game. It's a comfortable spot. Overall, I had a good experience at Kaidon (West Covina). Bad gimmick aside, this location has genuine promise. The food is filling & good quality; the staff is friendly; and I left happy & satisfied. If curious, I recommend. 4.4 out of 5

    Got the legendary bowl. It was just alright, I would give it 6/10. The meat was a bit burnt & super fatty, which I wasn't a big fan of. The enoki mushroom was too greasy in my opinion, and the kale/ spinach (greens) in the bowl were deep fried.. I do like the sauce and the rice, but other than that, it was just an okay bowl. Given that we went on a Saturday, it was a bit of a wait since there were crowds.

The bartender completely ignored us for several minutes, despite repeatedly walking back and forth right in front of us. We eventually had to wave him down just to get service. Our food was good, but once it arrived, he never checked on us, asked how everything was, or offered refills. Unfortunately, this is not the first time we've received this same level of service from this particular bartender. It's frustrating because we actually enjoy the food and would like to come back, but being repeatedly ignored makes it difficult to justify returning. Happy hour is supposed to be a relaxing way to unwind after work, and instead, we left feeling frustrated and unwelcome.

I will gladly and without hesitation put Canyon City Barbeque up there as some of the best Barbeque I have ever had in my life. When I say I dream of their Barbeque, I mean it. Just writing this review my mouth is salivating as I think back on the food. We ordered the Canyon City Sampler, and it is without a doubt the way to go if it's your first time. It was enough meat for 3 hungry adults with leftovers. The sampler let us to try every cut of meat they had, and every cut is barbecued to the highest level of quality for the cut. The brisket and ribs were our personal favorites. I was also blown away by how perfect the chicken was. Every side is pure deliciousness. Don't sleep on the cornbread. I wish we would've ordered even more. The texture is perfect. Crisp crunch on the outside and perfect moisture on the inside. The way cornbread should be. The Mac and cheese and coleslaw were absolutely delicious as well. We all wish we would've bought some of their Barbeque sauce to take home. They have 2 main sauces, one for pork and one for beef. I would happily drown myself in either. Our server was very polite, attentive, and made amazing recommendations (though I'm now convinced I could close my eyes, point at the menu, and be a happy camper lol) I seldom have reason to be in the area, but I now will be looking forward to making a trip back to specifically to grab some Canyon City Barbeque.

I had asked for cornbread, but they told me they couldn't add it through Uber Eats, so it wasn't included. That was understandable, and I had assumed it was free because of some older menu photos on Yelp. Since I enjoyed the food, I decided to come back and order in person to avoid miscommunication. One thing I will mention is that they didn't include BBQ sauce on the side when I ordered via Uber Eats. If you're ordering a brisket sandwich, the sauce that's already on it isn't really enough. Today, I specifically asked to buy two pieces of cornbread because that was what I was really looking forward to. By the time I got home, I ate my sandwich and found a piece of hair in it. Not ideal, but mistakes happen. Then I went to get my cornbread and realized it wasn't in the bag at all. I had specifically asked for it, and I don't know whether I was charged for it because I didn't ask for a receipt since I paid by card. The workers were very friendly, and the food itself has been good except for the hair in my sandwich and today's Mac and cheese was very salt Overall my experience was pretty disappointing because again I did not get the corn bread I specifically came for and the hair in my food and the Mac and cheese was so salty I didn't even eat it. Last time I ordered the Mac and cheese was so good but not today
