Our sever was excellent. My husband kept asking her for recommendations. Everything she recommended was excellent. There are so many options to choose from. The food was amazing! We choose a several items in the beginning and continued to order more food till we were stuffed! We had the gyoza, pork belly, Miyazaki beef, bacon tomato, calamari, crispy salmon skin salad, cucumber salad and chicken karaage. All delicious.

The sushi and the side dishes are really good too. Oddly, I hadn't come here in about 8 years, so this review is based on my most recent visit. They don't take reservations, but they have a very efficient check in system as you walk up to the restaurant. It's almost always crowded when you come here, so bear that in mind. However, it's really worth it. Since I was alone, they were able to seat me right away at the sushi bar. Overall, I'm giving this experience a 4.5 stars. Knocking them down half a point because I was never checked on. However, they were fairly prompt in getting me whatever I needed when I flagged them down. Looking forward to my next trip out here, which will be very soon.

There are traditional and fusion broth options and the veggies and meat are always super fresh. Tons of protein options and they even offer lamb and sushi grade salmon (which I don't normally see at a shabu spot), the ambience is also very clean and welcoming. The owner Lamson is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, always goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and you can tell he takes pride in his business and his team. If ever in the area and you want some delicious shabu shabu, cocktails/sake, I highly recommend trying Kaizen. P.S. They opened a new restaurant next door called Sonder which is a hi-fi listening bar and Asian fusion (also super delicious but make sure you make a reservation, it get's busy!).

Everything was very fresh and delicious. Had a rainbow roll which they shaped like a rainbow. Pictures say a thousand words so I'll stop rambling.

Despite our large party of 11, the wait time was a brief 15 minutes. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the establishment offers a relaxed, intimate "hole-in-the-wall" ambiance that felt comfortable even for a group of our size. Our order included a variety of sushi, ramen, and yakitori--spanning approximately 70% of the menu, including the daily specials. Every dish was executed perfectly, offering a delicious balance of savory and sweet flavors with high-quality, fresh ingredients. Notably, the ramen received high praise from the more discerning critics in our group, who labeled it some of the best they've had. We highly recommend this establishment and look forward to returning soon.

The quality of fish is so fresh & their Zen roll is my favorite of all time! The staff have always been so kind when I pickup food and they sometimes have great deals with their rolls.

Thank you Jenn for helping us out this evening!! We can't wait to be back.

The service was great, and it was quiet since it's a Monday at 4pm. The location is small and cozy. I liked that the rolls were 4 pieces since that meant we could try more than usual. The rolls were good, rolls are usually hit or miss with me since they're normally too saucy. The 3 we got were good and had diff flavors (sexy Hawaiian, monster roll, and unagi xo). My 5 star goes to the yellowtail jala, omg it was SO GOOD and the yellowtail just melted in my mouth. We ended up ordering another one and I could honestly just eat this all day. I can't wait to have it again. I also got the bluefin tuba nigiri and that also melted in my mouth. The quality of the fish reminded me of having sushi in Japan. I can't wait to go back and get the nigiri's and the yellowtail jala!

I've been meaning to try Tanakaya after seeing their soba flight on Tik Tok! I came near opening…read moreand got seated right away, and by the end, it was pretty full, so I can see how waitlists might be long during busy hours. Plenty of parking and staff is attentive! Everything is a bit expensive for what it is, but overall taste wise, everything was amazing regardless! We got the assorted tempura, filet katsu don, and cold soba flight sampler. The assorted tempura was good, they had a lot of variety and I enjoyed the mushroom, asparagus, and potato! The shrimp tempura portion is very generous in size and was good. A little overpriced for what it is, but if you love this assortment of fried tempura, it is overall good to try! The filet katsu don was amazing, and I like that it came with a small bowl of miso soup! It's always nice to have that as a complimentary side dish. The katsu was crispy and complimented well by the sauce! I'd highly recommend this dish! And now for the star of the show... the soba flight! This was so fun to go through and I highly recommend it just for the experience! My personal favorite was the one that included enoki mushroom on the topping. Definitely would recommend trying Tanakaya if you haven't already! I'd definitely come back.

We enjoy…read moretheir quality of soba noodles and dipping sauce, it's a great place for authentic Japanese food. Service: their service is quite slow. We often try to go right as dinner service begins and still find ourselves waiting 30-40 minutes from ordering to get our food. I assume it's because they make their food fresh, but even so, often it takes a while to get the bill. However, the service is always nice and respectable. Parking: the lot can get pretty full sometimes, but it's quite spacious since there's not a lot of businesses in the plaza.

OVERALL : I'm a big fan of HiroNori and have dined at their…read moreother locations several times, but this was my first time at the Orange location. It's def more hidden since it's in a business buiding, but there was still a full house when we visited on a Thurs evening for dinner. We waited around 20 mins to be seated. The ordering process was quick, service was friendly, and the food came out quick. Loved both their ramen and apps! PARKING : This location is a bit unique; it's in a courtyard area of a business building! The parking lot out front was pretty empty when we came around 7pm on a Thursday. We followed signs to get into the courtyard with the storefront. FOOD/DRINKS : Tonkotsu Ramen - Pork Chashu, spinach, green onion, seaweed, bean sprout, half egg -- creamy and flavorful broth, love the toppings and the chashu is some of the most tender I've had! Upgraded to Combo to include a small salad + salmon poke rice bowl - Salad dressing was nice and acidic, helped to have some veg between all the decadent bites! Salmon poke was okay, but I like Spicy Tuna more for sure. Quite a bit of rice in the bowl compared to fish. Spicy Cold Dipping Noodle - Bonito dashi broth w/ chili oil, cold noodles with pork chashu, bamboo, kaiware sprouts, bean sprouts, egg, spinach -- Super refreshing and cold! Loved the vinegar-y refreshing dipping broth. Not spicy to me, but had good chili flavor. Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna - spicy tuna, avocado, crispy rice, eel sauce -- rice was soft yet crispy, not too oily. generous amount of spicy tuna. Matcha Latte w/ Azuki Boba - i like to get this when i dine here -- it's not a strong fancy coffeeshop "double matcha" by any means, but it's not trying to be one. It's a nice creamy matcha drink with red bean flavor thrughout and boba at the bottom. I like it as a sweet treat after all the savory foods!

HiroNori is one of the better tasting Japanese ramen spots in the area. This spot is located in an…read moreoffice building so it may be hard to find at first. Inside is a small but cozy, clean ambiance. Bear in mind that this place is busy so there will most likely be a wait if you go during peak eating times. I always get the same things here - the tonkotsu ramen and chicken karaage with the garlic sauce and house spicy sauce on the side. Servers are friendly and service is always good, as it should be since they apply an automatic 18% tip on the bill. One complaint I have is the portion size on the ramen - it's almost $20 for a bowl but doesn't have enough noodles as I would like. I always feel content but not full so if they were to add more noodles, it would have been a 5 star for me.
