It's not fried chicken but it's still good! The kimchi beef with curry on the side delicious Make sure you cook the meat fast lol Kimchi I heated it up and it was great with the rice and beef. Good portion of meat and rice and kimchi you won't go hungry I ordered organic black tea with salted crema. Not sure if it was my favorite. I asked for 75 percent sugar and when I drank it it was sweet enough in the sense it is between two categories. It would be too sweet in the Chinese asian palate but just a hint of sweetness in the American standard. Also, I don't know what type of crema sugar they use but it might have something to do with tropical or coconut type sugar? Because the tea itself is only mildly flavored bitterness if it was tea on the regular right? Idk the tropical or crema flavored taste overpowered the tea flavor. Ambiance no frills only a few tables and it was not busy on Monday lunch time so no worries on not having a table to sit in. Again. The gentleman that was there was super helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was good. The drink itself has enough sweetness that I was good with. I go for the more sweeter side of things. I appreciate the hospitality!

Minimal decor, but the food and service make this place truly special. This Shabu restaurant is a…read morehidden gem that consistently gives great service with personable staff that makes every visit enjoyable. The self-cook experience is fun, interactive, relaxing, and the broths are simple but comforting. Truly heartwarming, soul-satisfying food. What was ordered: AYCE with tonkatsu broth. The AYCE comes with thinly sliced beef, lamb, tofu, mushrooms, spinach, cabbage, udon noodles and glass noodles. Price: Very affordable for an AYCE place. Did not break the bank and you walk out with your stomach full for 2 days. Parking: Great! This restaurant is in a residential area. No meter parking at all. They also have a parking lot for customers but it's always full on the weekends. Service: Spectacular: friendly, personable and very inviting. Side note: There is only one type of sauce that's in between a tangy or vinegary taste. There are a few condiments that you can add: garlic, chili pepper, grated daikon and green onions. Also, you can only pick one broth because the pot is not divided into 2 like other places. Either the tonkatsu or miso broth is delicious (can't go wrong with either). Refill on meat, veggies and noodles comes out fast so let them know ahead of time that you don't want the refill. Moreover, this place gets very busy and loud on Fri and Sat night. If you're planning to eat there on those nights, come when it opens at 5pm so you can get a seat.

FOOD & SERVICE: My group ordered the AYCE hot pot and it kept us superrr full! Our server was super friendly and attentive as well. I felt like we never had to ask for refills for our meats, toppings and sauce. This place does not have a sauce bar, but they have a premade sauce that tastes soo yummy! AMBIANCE: This place is very cozy :) It is small inside but it's what made the experience that much more enjoyable. This place gives mom & pop / hole in the wall vibes! PARKING: There is a small parking lot located on the side of the building which is super helpful but fits about 8 cars. You can always find parking around the neighborhood though. I will definitely be visiting this place again, especially since I live so close by :)

You know, I've been meaning to come back to Fumi. Fate has led me back tonight because I was left…read morehungry eating at a nearby restaurant due to small portions. I'm always suspicious and wary of Japanese restaurants that serve curry, ramen and sushi. It usually mean they aren't good at any single dish. That's not the case here at Fumi as I have tried their curry, and it is actually not bad. My to-go order was for a tempura appetizer $9 with a 25 cent bag fee. While waiting, I can hear the chefs speaking Toisan. What a coincidence. The Vietnamese place down the block also have Toisan chefs. The tempura's batter could have been lighter for my liking. It was not flicky and some portions of the vegetables were burnt. This dish is acceptable. The restaurant was mostly full at 7:45pm and the wait for my food was less than 10 minutes. Good job staff at Fumi.

If I need a quick and easy lunch, this is one of our go-to spots. We usually order the same dishes…read moreevery time--the Spicy Ramen and Chicken Katsu Teppan. When we stopped by a couple of nights ago, we noticed they had added sushi rolls to the menu, so we tried the H6 roll, and my kids absolutely loved it! Overall, I really enjoy their rich ramen broth and flavorful curry. The restaurant is always clean, the service is friendly, and it's a great option if you're in the area and looking for a casual, satisfying meal. Just a heads-up: if you sit by the entrance, you'll notice the automatic door opens all the way whenever someone comes in or out. Since there are lots of delivery drivers picking up orders, it happens pretty often. If you like the fresh air, you'll probably enjoy sitting there. If not, I'd recommend choosing a table closer to the counter. If you visit, you'll see exactly what I mean!

H&K used to be a dim sum spot, but as of 2 weeks ago, they now they offer AYCE hot pot, kbbq and karaoke instead! *SPACE/VIBES* It's spacious with high ceilings, and there are also karaoke rooms in the back and upstairs. (More on that later.) There are several screens projecting random food items, their karaoke rooms, and music videos. The music is eclectic. They played everything -- Ed Sheeran, EDM, Taylor Swift, 80s hits, kpop, etc. but I enjoyed the variety! *PRICE* The regular price is $30/pp This includes hot pot or kbbq + appetizers + N/A drinks, alcoholic drinks are per consumption (see menu) +$5 for both hot pot and kbbq HH is from 3:30pm-5pm $20 AYCE hot pot or kbbq *SERVICE* - Despite what the signage indicates ("Wait here to be seated"), no one will come seat you, if you stand at the bottom of the ramp. Lol. Walk up towards the cashier. - The service started off rocky but they eventually got into a better flow. After waiting for almost 10 mins at the bottom of the ramp, we also waited a while for someone to bring us a menu at our table so that we could order. However, once the grills were set and we started cooking, the staff was pretty quick to take away our dirty dishes and refill our soup. The rest is mostly self-serve, so that was easy. - They constantly refilled the food trays at the stations - There is a 90 min time limit, and they did keep track *FOOD* I love having options, but I feel like hot pot *and* kbbq can get overwhelming, especially in only 90 mins. Given that it was our first time here and only +$5/pp to do both, we decided to do it anyway! Lol. No regrets, but will likely just opt for hot pot next time, as the kbbq options were just okay. The quality wasn't the best. Some of the veggies and seafood were obviously previously frozen. The short rib marinade was decent, but I found the rest to be a bit bland. Again, at this price point, I am not too mad about it. There are 4 main stations: 1. Main/At Table: Hot pot and/or kbbq propane grills - If hot pot, pick your broth and meats on the menu. Get toppings, veggies and seafood from the raw bar - If kbbq, head to the raw bar to get some meat 2. Appetizer/dessert/chef special: There's an assortment of foods that get rotated. Some options we tried: Cajun crawfish, salt & pepper shrimp, edamame, honey walnut shrimp, dumplings, seaweed salad, egg tart, mango sago, watermelon. Everything was tasty and worth trying, if you have the stomach real estate. 3. Sauce Bar: They have a small station with some basic sauces (garlic, scallions, cilantro, oyster, soy, sacha, chili, sesame sauce, etc) 4. N/A Drink Fridge: An assortment of Asian drinks - mostly sugary, but why hold back now?! *KARAOKE* For an additional $10/pp, you can cook, eat and karaoke all at the same time. They have 4 (?) karaoke rooms in the back, with capacities of 4-12 people, but there is also an additional upstairs space that hosts up to 30 people. Super meated out after today, but I look forward to coming back again soon and trying more items. In the meantime, here are some recommendations I think would make for an even better customer experience: - Move/change signage at entrance so people aren't waiting forever. We saw some other guests give up and leave due to the lack of service, while we were waiting. - Expand your sauce selection (Soy bean paste, salt/pepper for kbbq. Maybe ponzu, so less salty than the rest?) - Add some Korean banchan options, if you're going for kbbq - Make sure to wash the lettuce thoroughly. I think they were just doing it too quickly, so there was still some dirt on the leaves

I like that this place does its AYCE like a buffet rather than ordering everything off a menu or on your phone. You just go up and grab what you want. You order the premium meats and the servers bring that out with your pot and grill. All the food was great! We tried just about everything on the buffet line. The saddest part of the experience was that we were the only two people dining on a Thursday evening. I really want to go back to this place, but I'm afraid they won't stay open long if people don't show up. Please go and support this place so they stay open!

The ambiance is a causal place to get some really good sushi with friends or family, even a casual date night! Parking can get really tough. There's metered parking all around but it's such a busy area to park. You can get lucky down at the Golden Gate Park area and enjoy a nice walk on nature on your way to Kiki. I think it makes it all worth it for a place like this, I don't ever mind going through the hassle of parking over this place. You won't regret it.

The sashimi slices were fresh. Salt on the wound - we initially placed the order via the kiosk, realized there was no staff inside the restaurant. Waited a few minutes then went to ask iTea staff next door, turns out the Tuna House staff was working there too since iTea needed extra hands but they literally abandoned the other restaurant with no bell or cameras or anything. The chicken wings were $8 - skip it, they're 2-3 puny, cold pieces and over salted.

I'm currently on a mission to…read moreget six-pack abs, so I actually appreciate restaurants that don't serve enough food to feed a small village. A lot of people complain about the serving size here, but that's kind of on you for choosing a ramen shop instead of an all-you-can-eat buffet. Ramen is supposed to be comforting, not a competitive eating contest. Spicy Tonkotsu costed about $18.50~. The broth was flavorful, the noodles had a great texture, and the ramen overall hit the spot. The meat was solid and did its job. Most importantly, I left satisfied without feeling like I needed a nap afterward. If you're looking for quality ramen with a tasty broth and balanced portions, Sawaii Ramen is worth a visit. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards. 我來到 Sawaii Ramen 時抱著一個很簡單的理念：我吃飯很重視份量。但目前我正在努力練出六塊腹肌，所以我其實很欣賞不會讓人吃到撐的餐廳。 很多人抱怨這裡的份量偏小，但說實話，如果你想吃到飽，應該去自助餐廳，而不是拉麵店。拉麵本來就是讓人享受風味與口感的料理，不是大胃王比賽。 辣味豚骨拉麵的價格大約是 18.50 美元左右。 這裡的湯頭香濃有層次，麵條口感不錯，整體拉麵表現令人滿意。叉燒中規中矩，該有的水準都有。最重要的是，吃完後感到剛剛好，不會飽到想直接睡覺。 如果你喜歡風味出色、湯頭好喝，而且份量適中的拉麵，Sawaii Ramen 值得一試。
