Every food item was served warm and with care. Chris was awesome . He was so kind and patient with us, especially when we kept asking questions about the menu or asking for more items he made the experience that much better. This restaurant had really good service and great tasting food. Their selection of teas is another great thing g about this place; so many to choose from. Their popular omelet rice is worth the try .

A couple of my friends mentioned how good this spot is & I had to take my mom for Mother's Day to…read moretry for ourselves since she loves sushi. The small lot has crowded parking, but there's street parking and I was very lucky. It's a small mom & pops place, which usually is a great sign for sushi. Because seating is quite limited, reservations for omakase (really good value) at the bar is recommended & definitely get on the Yelp waitlist as soon as you're within 2 miles or you will be in for a wait. The staff here is knowledgeable about the menu so don't be shy about asking for their specials. We waited 15-20 min, but I will say the food is so worth it. Must tries, crispy bites, king crab chawanmushi, black cod handrolls, the bluefin burrata. Everything tasted excellent, which is rare. Even the ice cream made in house was phenomenal & I'd go back just for that.

Came here with some girlfriends as it's kind of halfway point for all of us. It's in a small strip…read morecenter with lot parking. There was plenty of space but I noticed people parked horribly here and all over the line. I parked further away just to avoid this. This spot is pretty small, maybe like 10 tables and booths. We got seated right away tho on a Friday evening. They have some good combos that combine ramen with appetizers or sushi. The ramen prices are pretty in line with most other spots. Food is decent, not the best but not the worst. Prob wouldn't go out of my way to come here but nothing to complain about either. While the waiter was very friendly he needs a little coaching on being aggressive with checking up on us. He prob came by the table every 5 minutes asking how everything was when there was clearly no need to and it was very disruptive for us as we were clearly trying to catch up with each other.

The curry is mild enough for some kids but there is a kick to it. I can't decide if I like the crab cakes or oysters more but I know it's not filling enough because everyone likes it so kuch they grab my food! Personally I like the pork loin over Millefille but I am a creature of habit.

I enjoyed their oyster, it was delectable. The place was clean though the table has a bit of unwanted odor . It looks like they just cleaning the table with plain water. They should at least use some sort of special cleaner so it won't be smelly. Service was just ok. I don't find them friendly as they hardly smile and seem to be very serious. They take your order, serve your order and you are on your own. Fast food style!?

Amazing experience here.

Not a very conventional Japanese…read morerestaurant--what Japanese restaurant have you been to with a Lazy Susan in the middle of the table lol Similarly, you will find a combination of Chinese and Japanese dishes here. Where else other than a buffet can you order sashimi and mapo tofu at the same time? The main draw here is their daily specials and their combinations (not bentos, everything comes out separately). I enjoyed the fact they gave us unlimited salad in a salad bowl like Olive Garden and rice. The food came out pretty darn fast and our teapot was constantly refreshed. The food itself wasn't much to write home about. The Chinese food had better reception than the Japanese food we got. The salmon collar came in two pieces. The beef teriyaki was tender but kind of a lunch size portion. The salt and pepper shrimp had Thai basil so kinda tasted like popcorn chicken seasoning. The mapo tofu had a good mala flavor. Green beans had good wok hei. Wednesday is their busiest because of half-off lobster, so we ended up waiting about 40 min for a table of 7, and then it was sold out by the time we were sat around 8. So just a heads up to avoid Wednesdays if you don't care about half-off lobster. Plenty of parking in the plaza. A very unique experience indeed.

Thank God because now I can get this deliciousness closer to my house. Let's get into it... My boyfriend ordered the premium tempura plate and I ordered the mixed tempura and soba combo. We also ordered the onion Kakiage and seafood Kakiage on the side. Everything was perfectly fried, crispy, flavorful, and delicious. We love the Onion Kakiage... it's definitely a must get. The Pasadena is a smaller location and I can see how lines can get long during prime dinner time or on the weekends. But if you're looking for great service and excellent food... You gotta check them out!

EXCELLENT RAMEN WITH JAPANESE FLARE…read more I've visited more than a few Daikokuya locations, and I have to admit that this location is my favorite. The Ramen has never let me down. The service is great. The inside decor is reminiscent to what I have encountered when visiting Japan and is basically how many divey ramen restaurants in Japan look like. Moreover, they serve Orion beer here. Whenever I am in the area and am craving some ramen, this my go-to Daikokuya for ramen.

Overall I think this is an okay ramen spot. I tried their regular ramen and it was ok. The broth…read morewas flavorful, the bean sprouts and bamboo shoots added a nice crunchy texture that contrasted well with the softer textures of the meat and noodles. The noodles for me were just slightly too overcooked for my taste, but it wasn't a big deal. The tea egg was good with a just above jammy interior texture. The chashu was great though. It was very tender with no strange pork smell to it. It tasted fresh. I got the ramen with small rice bowl and salad combo. The rice bowl was alright as well. I got the pork cutlet and egg. I wanted the pork cutlet to be crispy, but the breading on the outside was soggy. The overall flavor was fine though. It had a braised, sweet soy sauce type of flavor to it. The salad was made of shredded cabbage and carrots with a creamy dressing on top that reminds me a lot of thousand island dressing. The slight bitterness from the raw cabbage paired well with the sweeter flavors of the dressing and the carrots. Service was okay.

We ordered the 5 piece boneless karage to share and both of us got our own order of pork katsu curry. Boneless Chicken Karage: Delicious! Would definitely order this again. Came out hot with a slice of lemon and what I believe was a spicy kewpie mayo mixture dipping sauce. Each piece was essentially a whole thigh, well worth it. Pork Katsu Curry: Also delicious! Came with a side salad and a miso soup which I didn't realize. Curry was my type where it's a bit more on the thicker and richer side.
