Love this hole in the wall teriyaki place! The chicken & beef teriyaki is always good, the service is always friendly and fast, and the restaurant is always clean. Definitely one of the better teriyaki places around. Highly recommend. read more

Solid Japanese owned restaurant. The tofu and veggie bowl comes with a side of teriyaki sauce and it's pretty underwhelming, the tofu is raw instead of the typical fried tofu that comes in most tofu bowls. Not a place that I would send vegans/vegetarians but if you're dining with people that eat meat, it's nice that there is an option :) The veggie tempura is great, service is very friendly. Hole in the wall little spot where if you pay in cash you don't have to pay tax so that's nice! read more

3.5 stars. A small business with a simple menu. Called for our food for take out and it was ready within 15-20 minutes. I ordered the chicken katsu curry but when I opened my meal at home it was the chicken curry so there was a mix up but would've been too much trouble to come back and get another dish made. Chicken curry nonetheless wasn't bad. A lot of protein compared to the rice proportion which is what you'd want anyway! The meal is affordable and is a good place to grab a quick meal after work. read more

It really is the best teriyaki in town! The spicy beef teriyaki isn't too spicy. You can also get two fortune cookies for 25 cents. The pickled ginger and carrots are a must. The owners are really nice and service is always amazing. read more

The bowls are fantastic. Love the deluxe bowls, the chicken and combo bowls are great. Friendly service too!

After all these years, Okazya still hits the spot! This was one of our go-tos in high school and we found ourselves in the area over 20 *COUGH* years later so we had to stop by. The teriyaki chicken and beef are flavorful, the food is still decently priced considering current times and the amount of food you get. Nostalgia and comfort bump up the place to 4 stars for me. Parking is easy; there's a lot but could get filled up during busy times. Service is friendly and helpful. It's fast casual, so you order at the counter and find a seat. Few tables and bar seating. Will definitely be coming back. Worth driving a little further to support a small business than buy from a chain restaurant. read more

My bosses love this place and I have been picking up chicken bowls for them at least once a month for the past year or so. I really don't know why it took me so long to try their food! Inside is small with a handful of tables, it's very cozy and has cute decor. It always smells amazing in here! Bowls come in regular, large, and XL sizes - regular is super filling, anything bigger would become two meals for me! I have had their Deluxe Bowl, Salmon Bowl, and miso soup. Deluxe has white rice, delicious, tender, high quality chicken, a great tasting teriyaki sauce with a hint of ginger, steamed veggies, and two pork gyoza. LOVE IT. Salmon is also good, but quite plain, just a piece of salmon on top of rice, with teriyaki on the side. I'm glad I took some chili sauce to go, next time I will ask for some green onions on it as well. Miso soup is super flavorful, not watered down like other places, and is a generous portion, way larger than I was expecting. Perfect to sip on a cold, drizzly day! It's always the same guy working when I visit and he is very friendly. Every order I have called in has been ready in about 10 minutes, even when it's multiple bowls. Prices are really good, $10 - $14 per person depending on what you get. I can't wait to try more of their menu, and i'm so glad my bosses brought Okazya to my attention! read more

I was in the neighborhood and was craving some udon soup. There's a sweet lady behind the counter. She's an older lady and made me think of my grandma. I felt right at home. The place is very clean and have some great deals. Since it was cold, I stuck with tempura and udon soup. I am very happy with my choice. It really did hit the spot. I definitely will come back. read more

I was working in my satellite office and needed lunch and decided to head east where i used to work decades ago. I was going to get a burger next door but saw this place and decided to give it a try. Menu was good with a variety of options. They also have lunch specials. I opted for chicken teriyaki and some gyoza. The chicken was tasty and the gyozas were just okay. Service was good and I liked the variety of condiments including shichimi togarishi peppers. I may need to come by again soon to try some lunch specials. This place is solid. read more

This place is a solid Mom and pop establishment. Their beef and rice bowls are fantastic.

One of Fullerton's hidden treasures for good ol' Japanese rice dishes. I always get their Spicy Tuna combo, need to try their other other Curry or Katsu dishes. read more

Food was good with any options. Meat was tasty and worth the extra expense. They have a lot of options for toppings to jazz it up. Better quality teriyaki place. read more

Just started a new job recently and I was looking for a good lunch spot. Some of my coworkers recommend this place. It's a very welcoming little shop and looks clean inside too.

Okazya Kitchen - Yummy chicken teriyaki bowl - Japanese Near Me - Fullerton, California

Was on the area craving a Teriyaki Chicken Bowl and this was close to where I was. Turned out to be an excellent choice. The chicken in the bowl was the most tender I've had in over at least 10 years. Since I'm in the area at least once a month I will be coming here in future. My only suggestion is more teriyaki sauce since I prefer my bowl swimming in sauce. Well done. Hope to see you soon. read more

I love this place! Simple food, reasonably priced, you can't go wrong. We've tried various dishes and it's all been tasty, my personal favorite is the chicken teriyaki. The location is not great for large groups, but the food holds when ordering to go. Service is quick and friendly. They also cater! read more

One of our most favorite places. Great food and the most wonderful people. Deluxe Bowl is my go-to. read more

Talk about a hidden gem. A very small, family owned Japanese restaurant that is great in quality and value. After moving to Fullerton 12 years ago, we struggled to find a good Japanese owned Japanese restaurant. This was a very happy find for us. The teriyaki chicken is delicious and the quality of meat is great. So much better than the chopped dark meat you get at other places. The inari is just like how my grandmother used to make it. I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

This is for sure a case of dont judge a book by its cover because looks sure are deceiving here! The strip mall that its in is rough. And Okazya is by all means a lil' hole in the wall. But there's something rather charming about it. Nothing fancy about this place, and you can kind of see into the kitchen and its not fancy back there either. But the lady who took my order was so nice. I didnt get her name, but she gave me some genuine recommendations. Nonetheless, I ordered the one thing that I came for...the XL Spicy Tuna Bowl. Also got some mixed tempura. Been hearing about this bowl in one of the buzz groups and had to have it. After a short wait, I got it and took it straight home. I expected a full container of spicy tuna on top of rice, and that is exactly what it was! The spicy tuna was not painfully spicy, it actually tasted slightly sweet to me. But this was a case where my expectations were 100% spot on. Highly recommend giving this place a shot. If youre doing to go, I would also recommend calling ahead. read more

This place is a local gem! It's a no frills mom & pop shop that cheap, delicious, and filling. I'm also a big fan of their condiment bar where you can load up on soy sauce, hot sauces, pickles, etc. to enhance your food. We got a teriyaki bowl with chicken and beef which was delicious. The teriyaki sauce wasn't overpoweringly salty and the meat was juicy. I also got a chashu bowl which was topped with green onions - soo good if you're not in the mood for teriyaki. We also got 2 fountain drinks - all this was less than $30 for 2 people. As with most mom & pop places, cash is preferred and service was very nice. Order at the register and just pick a place to eat and enjoy your meal. We will definitely come back and check out some of their other specials! read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. Probably my favorite go to teriyaki joint. It's nostalgic and is a place I've been going to for over twenty years. Small hole on the wall restaurant with a few tables. I usually always grab this Togo and it never disappoints. I get the large half chicken half beef and if feeling hungry get a mini did of veggies. Their portions are consistent and is filling. The teriyaki is on the sweeter side but with a little spice you'll be coming back for more. Also their spicy tuna is a must try. The put it on top of a bed of sushi rice and is surprisingly refreshing and good. Grab a bowl or two or three with some gyoza and some market style cali rolls for a quick craving buster. They also do catering which is a bang for your buck. read more

ordered a vegetable tempura bowl, which was extremely generous! The pieces of vegetables were huge. It was pretty heavy with the grease and that's what ultimately removed a star from my review. I also ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl. I asked to add vegetables and learned that it's not an additional price because they do it by weight. I eat Flame Broiler regularly and this is similar. The sauce at this restaurant is much lighter and the chicken is probably not as intense in flavor, but the bowl is very good. I would order it again. They have a little table with condiments and they offer the ginger which is yummy but it is the pink dyed ginger, which is unfortunate. It's very tasty, however. They seem to do a good business with a ready supply of people wandering in to enjoy their food. The young man behind the register was very helpful and patient. They have various specials and that seems to be a good deal if you wanna take advantage of a daily special or a combination. I think the price is a reasonable, which is nice these days. read more

Best teriyaki chicken bowls EVER! I'm so sad we don't live close by anymore but every time we're near Fullerton we go! Love this place!

I recently returned after a long time, & the Deluxe bowl with both chicken & beef was just as delicious & satiated as I remembered it! Brown rice, terriyaki chicken & beef, steamed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower & carrots), avocado, & gyoza. Don't forget to ask for a hot sauce (sambal). It was so simple & healthy yet satisfying, good sized portion & affordably priced! I appreciated that the sauce is not too thick, nor too sweet or salty. Just perfect. Will return again soon & often! I want to try the tofu. read more

So disappointed. I wanted to like the food so bad because it looks very promising but it lacked a lot of flavor, so much so that it was bland. We walked in and there was no one there, I wanted to give the place a shot because the food on the menu looked and sounded great. They have a lot of options on the menu but I got the chicken teriyaki combo with rice and it came with noodles & salad. Overall I would say the food was edible. There was no flavor and the salad was drenched in dressing. I'm very disappointed & sad because I wanted to like it so much since it looks appealing. read more

No questions asked hands-down the best teriyaki spot I've ever been to. And I've traveled all over the states and from Southern California to northern California. This hole in the wall spot, has some of the best food you'll ever have, there's a reason why most reviews are consistently five stars. Been in Fullerton for over 15 years, and this establishment is an absolute staple. The quality is second to none. read more

So not many of authentic Japanese owned food establishments are left in north Orange County, and to me this place is a real gem considering you can get Katsu and teriyaki bento boxes. Many sizes to choose from and so many combo items to choose from. How can you not like this place? read more

Excellent food. The service is great too. Their teriyaki sauce is delicious and unique.

I loved the food! The portions are a good size, very filling. Very well worth the price, which wasn't bad at all. Overall I recommend if you are around the area thank you Okazya Kitchen :) read more

I just love helping the small home type eating establishment. They have the homemade Japanese Food that my mom made. I love their teriyaki chicken and curry combination #17. It is a very small place, but in today's economy it pretty inexpensive and delicious. Service is excellent and pretty efficient. This place is also great for ordering for parties. read more

Took my 4 boys for early dinner after Yelping for Japanese food other than gyudon and sushi. The place wasn't busy but our orders took a while, maybe because of pick-up orders, or maybe because there was only 1 cook/chef (the owner) and an assistant who seems to be newly hired and on training. Food was okay, but not good enough to crave for. The place is clean with few tables - only 1 was occupied with a couple of diners. They have a"no-tax" if "cash-paid" policy which in this day and age, made me scratch my head. Considering the drive we took, I'd say we'll come back if we're in the area but not a "go-to" place on a regular basis. read more

This place is so bad. I got the Wednesday special. Which was chicken katsu, teriyaki chicken and a egg roll. It always came with a salad. The katsu barely had any breading and was mushy and sour. The teriyaki chicken had no flavor. Even the salad was terrible! The dressing tasted like mayonnaise. This place needs to be shut down read more
