The best teriyaki chicken hand down. Its flavorful, tender and the rice is wonderfully sticky. The curry is off the hook. Stop wasting you money and calories at wabba and flame broiler. Eat here instead. You wont be disappointed. Order extra sauce- you'll drink it from the cup! read more

The teriyaki chicken is just bomb there is just something different about it than your usual teriyaki bowl. The workers are always nice, I always crave it at least once a week. read more

Every time we visit anaheim we HAVE to eat here. Excellent food. Sweet owner. Excellent quality and service. We live In Arizona and still make a point to eat there every time we come to town. read more

This is the best teriyaki I've ever had. When I lived nearby I would go around once per week. Now I live a bit away and don't get to go anymore, but I often finding myself craving it. No other teriyaki satisfies the craving, though. I started this review a long time ago but forgot to finish it. I wanted to finish and post the review, because they deserve it! read more

The chicken noodle bowl, fresh udon with chicken in a tasty broth, is really the best ever! I've eaten udon at many different places and there's is the best! Even basics like teriyaki bowls are awesome here! read more

Fantastic Japanese teriyaki. Their party platters are perfect for potlucks, unless you want to take home leftovers.

By far my favorite place to eat To me this is comfort food Been coming here since I was little Over 24 years now Only gotta ask one thing can you guys add ramen to the menu it doesn't have to be a permanent item make it like a once a month thing or something read more

The best teriyaki bowls still since hs when my Fullerton friends introduced me to it and it still tastes the same. Still very friendly as well and I like how it's very hole in the wall-y. read more

Teriyaki places are either hit or miss but this place is pretty good! They have good quality of meat, decent prices and a friendly atmosphere! It is a local staple for many Raytheon employees and like other reviewers have said, it sucks since it closes early! However, you won't leave hungry and if you live in Fullerton/Buena Park then this is probably your best bet for Teriyaki! read more

This hole in the wall restaurant happens to have the best teriyaki I have ever had. I always get the chicken veggie bowl. Their sauce is amazing! The service and people are friendly as I am a regular as I work a block from them. They have great combinations and also have a great healthy menu for vegetarians as well. Favorite Dish: Chicken Veggie Bowl read more

My brother in law served teriyaki chicken with veggies at a recent family night and the food was so delicious I thought it was homemade. I complimented him but he said he catered it from Okazya Kitchen. I thought it was so good that I kept the name in the back of my head for future parties. For my son's family birthday party we catered 4 trays of beef and chicken teriyaki rice with veggies plus one veggie bowl for my vegan cousin. The guests loved the food and my vegan cousin said the veggie bowl was amazing. There were no leftovers. Okazya kitchen is a great place if you're craving a homemade Japanese rice bowl. It's great bang for your buck. It's better than flame broiler, waba grill and yoshinoya. The only thing it's lacking is gyudon, which is thinly sliced beef simmered with onions. To the reviewers that complained about the portions, I say what did you expect from a $6 rice bowl? It's not a Michelin Star restaurant with a classically trained chef (it might a a classically trained chef for all I know.) Great quality for the low price. read more

Been going here for about 7 years now. I either get the Big Boy combo #5 or a daily special on Tuesdays. Both are tummy stuffers and about 7$. The chili sauce goes great with the teriyaki if you like a little heat. I ask for sauce on the side because sometimes they just drench it and the taste gets a bit tiring. The workers there are the best, they are so nice. The beef stew is pretty good too. One of the spots my friends and I always go to. Bottom-line: Good for lunch or dinner. Expect to be full. Beware of too much sauce! read more

Been coming here for awhile now. They are redesigning the place and it looks awesome already! I always get the small or regular chicken bowl with brown rice. It is so delicious. Sometimes it gets busy during the peak lunch and dinner hours since there's only one cashier. And you have to wait a bit to get your food but I see that as a plus. It ensures that your food is not pre-cut or anything, they do everything per order. High school & college students w/ student ID's get a discount! read more

Been coming here for 10 years, yummy food that doesn't make you feel bad after indulging what more could you ask for? I usually get the chicken teriyaki, and the pork so good! read more

Since I moved from the Westside of LA, I've been experiencing a major sense of loss when it comes to cuisine. I haven't found my replacement for New Japan, which, for those who don't know, is a fast food teriyaki beef/chicken plate restaurant. Then I stumbled upon Okazya, and thought the search might be over. New Japan is at the corner of Sawtelle and Santa Monica Blvd in a little strip mall anchored by a 7-11 (where one can usually find vagrants in front of soliciting for pocket change). Okazya is in a little strip mall just off the corner of Brookhurst and Commonwealth Ave, which is anchored by a liquor store (where we found vagrants in front of soliciting for pocket change!). I walked in and the place was empty. Not a good sign. New Japan was usually always busy. The menu seemed to have mostly the same faire: chicken or beef teriyaki plates with rice and salad. Okazya also offered chow mein noodles, which New Japan does not. They also offer more variety, such as curry. However, New Japan still won out on taste. At the risk of sounding cliche, the only way I can sum up Okazya is "meh." The price was about standard, 1 dish costs about $7. I can't believe there are no good Japanese teriyaki places in North OC.... read more

The Good: Yummy food and big portions at good prices! The Bad: They close a bit early. This place would do a lot better if it was open longer to satisfy those late night cravings. Try: combo #1. Spicy chicken teriyaki over rice with gyoza and a drink. Also, ask about their high school/college discounts. Don't Try: the curry plates if you're only half hungry. It was so unexpected, but the portion was huge! read more

Comfort food. Simple, no frills- get in, get out kind of place. Portions are big and filling. Family run. Service is good and quick. I live in the South Bay and this place reminds me of a lot of the local places around home. Teriyaki chicken bowl. Meat is tender and moist. Lots of flavorful sauce and as other reviews mention, sauce is very sweet. Keep this in mind if you like your teriyaki otherwise. Lots of healthy combo options. read more

Sweet Jesus, this place has some amazing beef teriyaki. And I never knew. Shame on me. I got a mild spicy beef plate. Wasn't the hugest fan of the chow mein and salad (I don't like ranch), but the beef here is amazing! I practically orgasmed in my mouth. I was really surprised and impressed. The beef teriyaki is tender, succulent, and very flavorful. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The sauce is somewhat heavy and sweet, but you can just ask for a little sauce or sauce on the side. My recommendation is just to get a small (or large) spicy beef teriyaki bowl only. It's so good that it can stand alone without vegetables, egg rolls, or anything else. Seriously, guys, get the beef teriyaki bowl. You won't regret it. read more

Okazya Kitchen - The spicy beef is DELICIOUS! Prefer it over the chicken teriyaki. - Japanese Near Me - Fullerton, California

This has been my go to chicken bowl destination since my high school years in the early 90s. Great food as well as the staff. Teriyaki Chicken Bowls are so good and the Teriyaki Beef Bowls as well. Honestly everything on their menu is yummy food. The only thing that I am not happy about is that I have moved to Northern California and my family does not have an Okazya up here. Just another reason to visit our family and friends in Orange County more often just so that we can get our Okazya fix. Thank you for great food and amazing memories! read more

I order a large combo plate beef/chicken, The sauce and meat is just like "Spikes Teriyaki" bowl (which no longer exists), the only thing missing was the strawberry fanta or "wild cherry" soda. The only problem I had was the sauce being too sweet and the meat was just swimming in it. My suggestion: Large bowl, extra rice, extra meat, sauce on the side. It's good here! read more

My favorite tofu veggie bowl. The rice finds a perfect balance between sticky and fluffy. The carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower are all steamed to perfection despite their slightly different cooking times. The tofu silkily caresses your tongue while still being firm enough to not fall apart when you grab it with chop sticks. All this is coated in a sweet thick glaze that is the epitome of what teriyaki sauce was meant to be. read more

Okazya Kitchen - heaven. - Japanese Near Me - Fullerton, California

This place is VERY good. I'm a huge teriyaki place (and there are plenty of us, as I've seen) and this is definitely one of the best around. I've been going here for years and my mother has been going for even longer and we still come back when we can. By-and-large, however, the best thing they have (in my amazing opinion), is their udon soup. They don't litter it with a lot of the tastes other places do from the start. You can add whatever you need to it and it's just plain ole' good. As I said above, the teriyaki anything is good. I've had it all and, subjectively speaking, Okazya's "all" is pretty good. The prices are about on par with other places and become a relatively good deal when you get combos. I can't vouch for lunch hours any more as I don't work in the area, but when I used to go lunch was always the busiest time so plan accordingly. read more

It has been quite a while since I've been back here, and I really like what they have done with their decor. It feels much cleaner and spacious than it used to. One of the things Okazya does really well is chicken. It is tender and not dry like some other places. Their teriyaki sauce is also really good, but for some like me could be overbearing in sugar and salt, so maybe ask for sauce on the side if you're like me. The beef is also pretty good. The main downside in my opinion would be how long it takes for them to get the food out. Sometimes the food is worth the wait though, you decide for yourself. Also ordered curry for my wife and her friends and they all loved it. read more

My favorite place for teriyaki chicken/beef bowls! Flame Broiler and Waba have nothing on Okazya! The employees here are very friendly. The food is great and price appropriately. I usually get a Teriyaki Chicken or Beef Bowl and an order of tempura vegetables. This is one of those local secrets that keeps me in Fullerton! read more

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! Been going there for over 20 years. The best part about this place is they haven't messed with the menu. It's still the same items I remember ordering back in the late 80's. Went there today after about a year and got the usual ...teriyaki beef, fried chicken and tempura. Amazing! For around $10 you leave stuffed and happy. If you haven't been you don't know what you are missing! read more

Like so many other reviewers said, "I really wanted to like this place." It's a bit out of the way for me, but my boyfriend and I made the drive because I saw that they have a tofu bowl which piqued my interest. When we called in our order, the guy on the phone didn't seem all too familiar with the menu. We had to explain what a "combo #7" was. I ordered the tofu bowl, but instead of rice, asked to substitute extra veggies. He said he didn't think that they were allowed to do that, but that they could do it "without rice." Umm...okay? We would've gladly paid extra to substitute additional veggies in, but whatever. This place is a bit dive-y, located in a tiny plaza next to Golden Ox burgers. When my boyfriend when in to grab the order, the guy told him, "We added extra veggies to your tofu bowl because the boss isn't here. She probably wouldn't have let us do that." So I'm thinking, "Score!" Until I get home and open up my food container. The portions were so small, it was obvious they had not added any extra vegetables whatsoever. I realize the rice is the "filler" part of the meal, and I shouldn't expect to get stuffed, but c'mon...I should at least feel like I ate SOMETHING after I'm done with my meal. Because there was no rice, the veggies and tofu were DROWNING in sauce (which was too sweet for my tastes, anyway). Let's just say I learned my lesson about asking for substitutions at a place that doesn't seem willing to cater to their customer's wants/needs. The tofu meal I got (with a small salad and a drink) was hardly worth the $6.20 I paid for it. My boyfriend got the teriyaki chicken and curry chicken combo, and although he was extremely, gut-bustingly full afterwards, he wasn't exactly raving about the meal. He said the chicken teriyaki was okay, but the curry chicken was fairly bland. I agree with other Yelpers that this place seems like the type of eats you would run across in a mall food court. Not bad, but not worth the out-of-the-way trip for me. I'd rather have Flame Broiler than this joint. read more

Okazya Kitchen - Japanese Near Me - Fullerton, California

Ahh my fave as always. Have not found a BETTER udon place. Beef udon. 2 item plate. Chicken and tempura. Total was $18 ish. A mom and pop place. A hidden gem. A must try! Best Japanese spot! read more

Damn I miss this place. Nothing better than a large half and half (beef/chicken) rice bowl/box to fill you up with teriyaki perfection. Get that Flame Broiler crap outta here. If you want good eats, go to Okazya. You will not be disappointed. read more

Stopped in with my honey after a Doctor's appointment and even though we waited a bit for our food when it came it was super hot and delicious. The teriyaki does cover everything meat and rice but it was so yummy. I loved how my beef looked like it had actually spent some time cooking in its sauce rather than some jar generic being poured over it the last minute. We both got small bowls which were really tiny so now that I know I love it I'll have to upgrade myself to a big boy meal and make it spicy! In short it's probably our new spot for teriyaki and I can't wait to go back! read more

I haven't been here in years. Finally stopped by and it's great that things haven't changed. The staff remembered me and even remembered how I like my meal. I get a variety of things here and I am blown away why I didn't see a review on the noodle soup. Thick noodles with beef ...man that is just the thing when it's cold, especially because they keep that soup HOT! I will be back when it gets chilly. About the sauce being sweet. YES it is! My wife loves stuff like that and I'm okay with it, but I just ask for light on the sauce. They will work with you on how you like it. If you like stuff hot ask for it spicy and enjoy! I also recommend you branch out. Try the curry or miso soup, all are tasty, even if not up to a fine dinning experience, but then again this is a place to pick up a good quick meal that sits much better than another burger. read more

My fiancé used to eat here back in the day when he was an high school student. He has brought me here a few times now and now I've fallen for the home like feel and comfort food of the Okazya Teriyaki chicken and beef over rice. The portions here are decently large so come hungry! We usually will get the large with half teriyaki beef and half teriyaki chicken. read more

This place is simply awesome. I've been coming here for over 20 years and it has always been fantastic. The ingredients are always fresh and cooked to order. But one of my favorite things about this place is the it's been the same ladies working the front counter since I've been coming here. I've grown up getting my lunches from these ladies. It almost feels like coming home. read more

Okazya Kitchen - Half and half, extra spicy. 'Nuff said. - Japanese Near Me - Fullerton, California

Oh Yelper's, you have deceived me of what is good in this world. When I spotted an average of 4 stars on this place, I was excited. Yet all I ended up with was a sad teriyaki bowl and bad sushi. I suppose that is what you get for what you pay for. Only plus is having Orange Bang. The chicken was bite sized with sad limp veggies that seemed to have been in the steamer too long. Rice was nothing incredible and the teryaki sauce was forgettable. I can get the sauce out of a bottle. I even waited a bit after they opened just to see if I could get a good quality chicken bowl and it was nothing but disappointing. Probably should hit up Mos2 in Anaheim, or even Waba Grill and Flame Broiler. At least you know that the chicken is not cubed, teriyaki is flavorful and no limp veggies! read more

Sometimes, you just want a damn chicken bowl-- and this place delivers!! Been coming here for ten years and, for the price, you get a good deal. It won't "wow" you, but it's very consistent and you'll be full for less than $10 which, in my opinion, is just about all you can ask for these days.. I personally don't like the beef (it looks/tastes cheap) so I get the chicken. Definitely keeping this in the rotation for a while.. read more

Seriously the best teriyaki chicken. Nobody makes it better. Try their fried chicken as well. read more

I can't even begin to count how many trips I made here while growing up. I remember trips here on the weekends, after swim practices, and sneaking out out 4th period early in high school with friends. All of their customers are local regulars and even though it was been a while since I've moved away from Fullerton some of the workers still remember me when I visit. Spicy Chicken Bowl - This will always have my heart! It has a slight kick to it, but if you don't like spicy you can get a regular chicken bowl and it is just as good They also have combos that include California rolls, tempura, and other yummy treats. All of their portions are great and its not too expensive. *side note* If you bring in a current high school id you get 10% off (wow it has been a while since I've been able to get that discount) read more

Bomb.com. I always get the regular chicken bowl, plus a free drink (students get a free drink w a school ID). The first refill is free (plus!) The chicken bowl is delicious. It's js the perfect amount (I always leave full & satisfied), the chicken is soft and delicious, the teriyaki sauce is delicious, and the chicken & rice ratio is just the right amount. Their beef bowl isn't bad as well (you can get half chicken half beef if you order a large). They have this chili powder thing that i always put in my bowl. DELICIOUS. I also add the hot sauce as times too. It's pretty small but I've never had trouble finding a table. The workers there are very friendly! They're closed on Sundays, close at 8 on weekdays and 6 on Saturdays I believe... They close early. I've tried bites of their daily special & they're not bad! Craving teriyaki? Get on this. read more

I don't even remember when I first started coming here. It has been so long... Anyways, Okaz has been definitely one of my favorite places to go during high school. The price for what you get is insane!! I always got the half and half (chicken and beef) bowl and that was more than enough to fill me up! Other than that, I remember that we would get free drinks as long as we showed our student ID. During my school years, that was one of the best things ever! The only reason why I took down a star was because of the prices going up. Don't get me wrong, Okaz is still bomb BUT what made this place better was the perks of having a good price with free drinks!! read more

Really good spot to pick up some food. I got the chicken katsu plate and some chicken curry. Everything was delicious! Surprised they served horchata here. The horchata was super sweet - I've had better elsewhere. Lady at the front was very nice. read more
