I had ordered at this place for togo and my boyfriend had gotten the beef teriyaki plate and I had gotten the beef teriyaki with chow mein. By the time we picked it up and got home to eat, the lady had messed up our order. Doesn't teriyaki mean it also comes with chicken? And not just beef? The total was 21$ for 2 items and I think it's safe to say that we won't be ordering from here again, pretty disappointing read more

That worst!!! Please do yourself a favor and don't even bother! I paid 13.85 for this! Where is extra chicken and rice ? The old lady in the counter is not even friendly. I should of known the moment we walked in it was empty. The fact that they can't Invest in the menu and make it more appealing says a lot ! Check out all the violations they have! read more

This place is a local "IYKYK" hidden gem for some amazing Teriyaki food. Shop and the owner has been around for years and there's a good reason why the small joint been around. From the outside it may look like a hole in the wall, but the food tastes homemade like your grandma made it. I get their Teriyaki Chasu pork bento/bowl, and that braised pork simply melts in your mouth with that sweet teriyaki sauce. Lots of quantity and just great quality packed for a filling and satisfying lunch or dinner. read more

Great teriyaki chicken and service! Always so friendly and they make any special request!

I probably come every week now, right when it opens-10am sharp. I love the lady who works there~she is so accommodating and welcoming every time. I usually order #5, half teriyaki chicken & half beef with spicy sauce & veggies on the side. On the side, I order their fried dumplings & fried chicken. Oh and don't forget to add avocados to your beef/chicken bowl. So. Dang. Good. It might sound like a lot of food for just one person, but I'm constantly amazed at how I always end up finishing everything at the end. Tip: mix half your teriyaki sauce in your rice & chicken then add the chili sauce on top and dig in. read more

I've been coming here since I was kid and it's still the best Teriyaki around! Family run and always great! Lucky to have this in town.

I have been eating here for 30 years. Food has never disappointed. Started getting California rolls as a kid and they are still the same, awesome. I'm posting this review because I cheated on them the other day with a spot a half mile down the street by the name of Fla$&m Broil3r . Man o man what a mistake . But you can read me review on them .... Bottom line if your in Fullerton / Buena Park and want a hood bowl and great service go here don't go to the people down the street who don't care. read more

Have never had a bad meal here. My boyfriend and I have eaten here at least once a week for the past couple of months. This place has been around for YEARS and continues to amaze us. Best service in Fullerton. read more

Not sure what to make of this place. On one hand, it's affordable, quick and the menu offers a lot of variety. On the flip side, you get what you pay for, as the quality of the food is pretty low. The chow mein noodles are really oily and heavy, the dumplings are undercooked and the teriyaki chicken is just alright. Nothing is really terribly bad, but nothing is great either. Apparently this place holds a lot of nostalgia for anyone who grew up in this area and for the great pricing alone in today's world, it's still worth checking out. read more

Found an amazing hidden gem that's been here since 1985!!!! Amazing teriyaki house that is family owned and operated. Mrs. K still takes the orders personally and has a homemade feel to these timeless classics made with love. Will be back here for sure! Loved the Salmon x 3 (since all 3 of my girls loved it!) I tried 3 combo plate with beef teriyaki, chicken karage (fried chicken), beef katsu! Everything was amazing even as a take out. Coming back to try the chashu and chicken tempura next! read more

I am from out of town and I decided to stop here to get some teriyaki chicken. I ended up getting teriyaki chicken teriyaki beef and two egg rolls. I love the teriyaki beef and chicken. The eggrolls were like spring rolls which isn't my thing but there was nothing wrong with them. The staff is super friendly food was good and I hope to go back one more time before we leave read more

Love this mom and pop shop, I've been coming here for 14 years and their recipe has stayed consistent and is the same flavor I love. plus the owners are the sweetest. read more

Okazya has been my go to teriyaki spot since highschool and my brothers go to before me. Service is always great, food is consistently good and the prices are good. Comfort meal for sure. read more

Just moved in to the area and my oh my. First place in the states that has tasted like authentic Japanese teriyaki. So many places try and be fancy, with heavily bbq'd meats, avocado, and wrong rice. This place tastes and uses actual Japanese style food. read more

I'm glad to have a little Japanese fast food spot near me for teriyaki and vegetable curries. Service is a tad slow , but kind of expected considering the smallness of the shop. The dining is also small but works well. This is definitely more fast food stop than restaurant. There's a lot of menu advertisement around the front (like a lot), And all over the place which is overwhelming so i just used the paper menu which meant i probably missed out on some items they offered. But prices are affordable and options are abundantful Ps. California rolls were ok. Not the best. They were awkwardly large and used the thick single pieces of crab instead of the shredded kind (if it matters to anyone). They were also expensive a la carte. *student discount with id (per sign at front) read more

This is such a great spot for reasonably priced and super delicious teriyaki bowls and udon. Wish it was closer to my home now - but happy to visit it anytime I am in town! Now I can share it with my kids who love Japanese food! read more

If you're looking for a place that has a vibrant atmosphere, frills, colorful displays, and distractions to keep you from walking up to the one shielded counter, then you've come to the wrong place. This restaurant does many things we would consider "wrong" in the restaurant industry. We immediately judge restaurants based on their looks versus their taste. I decided to try this place out given its history in the community. I ordered something simple, a regular chicken bowl with brown rice and green onions with a side on the sauce, something that you would order at a nearby chain like flame broiler or Waba grill. To no surprise, the chicken bowl with brown rice and green onions was bland unseasoned, and had no flavor. What was I to expect? What happened after was nothing short of a miracle right after I dunked 1/3 of the sauce over my chicken and mixed it up in my to-go container with my chopsticks. Simply, amazing. This may be the greatest teriyaki sauce I have ever had. As the front desk cashier checked in on me from time to time making sure that my experience was great, I devoured what was left of the beautiful dance of brown rice, chicken, green onions, and sauce. I can see why this place has been around for so long. It did not adapt to the times, that's evident. That's not necessarily a bad thing either. In an age where yelp makes or breaks small businesses, the community has held this one up, and for good reason. I will be coming to this place again, no question. Hail to the family and employees that have kept this place alive. read more

Chicken bowls are my go to. Have good gyro, egg rolls and have sushi my kids like. It's a good quick go to for lunch, or when don't feel like cooking. Staff is always super nice, as we have been going to Okazya for over 20 years. read more

Second time I've been here they literally charge you for rice and about ten pieces of chopped up chicken literally waste of time read more

I would come back here. The lady is very friendly and the restaurant feels homey. I enjoyed the terriyaki and all the sides were decent

This place is a hidden gem. Came for the first time with my friend, who is already a huge fan of Okazya. Fantastic teriyaki bowls and their fried chicken is SO juicy and has the most amazing flavor. Thank you for a great lunch today! read more

I was looking for a place to order food from for a group and Okazaya Kitchen was just the place. I placed an order the night for both a full tray and half tray and they were ready to pick up right when I got there. We ordered the chicken and vegetables, and the beef. Both were served over a bed of rice. Great flavor plus plenty of extra teriyaki sauce and ginger on the side. Good service too!! read more

Iv been coming here for the past two years religiously for lunch, the best chashu bowl I have ever ate and best curry!

This place has been one of best place for Japanese food in Fullerton. This place has many different combos, so the choices are tremendous. I love there teriyaki chicken and curry. In this economy it's great to have a place that is not expensive. It is a small place , but the food is great. read more

Service and food was great! Prices were reasonable for the proportion and everything tasted good and nothing was dry

I've been wanting try this place for a while due to the nice reviews but I found it to be a marginal Japanese takeout restaurant. First off, I highly recommend you call in your order. Our walk in order was behind a mountain of phone orders. There's nothing more frustrating than to see one customer after another walking in and picking up their order while we just sat there waiting. The curry dish was the standard Japanese. curry with meat, potatoes, carrots and onions. The chicken teriyaki was tender but drenched with sweet Teri sauce. The Saba plate came with 4 small pieces of marinated mackerel. Due to their size, the fish was largely dry. The California roll uses a piece of imitation crab and avocado instead of the imitation crab & mayo center. Overall it's a good place for takeout but nothing to go out of your way for. read more

Okazya Kitchen - The rice and stuffing quotient is a little off. - Japanese Near Me - Fullerton, California

So many things have changed since I last visited you Okazya. New menus and now green onions, but for an extra $0.35? This is the first of all teriyaki places that charges for green onions, which is sad. My heart sank when I saw the menu price. But I can't neglect you. I miss driving down Commonwealth after class and getting a large teriyaki bowl. Large teriyaki bowl $7.00 Tax $0.54 Credit Card Fee $0.50 Total $8.04 Times are tough. Even though the container for the large bowl is huge, the rice is patted down into a thin layer. As a long time customer, I expect more value especially when every penny counts. You are a Fullerton landmark, full of rich, timeless history for feeding hungry high school and college students. But please provide more VALUE. Thanks. read more

I love Okazya and the sheer nostalgia of eating here. It's a short walk from my church, so I remember walking over before and after church services to eat when I wasn't yet old enough for a car. Now, I order party trays to feed a bunch of us when we have church meetings in the evening. The quality has not changed or diminished in any way. Perfect amount of teriyaki flavor without being overly sweet or overly dry. read more

Support local business! This spot still hits like back then. Glad I was in the area to grab a bunch of the lunch specials to pass out to my co workers. They all love it! Teriyaki and curry are great! Great portions and still budget friendly in this crazy pandemic. read more

Food is consistently delicious and service is quick! I always order to go :) It's a small mom and pop shop with a welcoming ambiance.

Always good and always consistent. Support your mom and pop shops! True Japanese owned.

Where has this place been all my life?! Was introduced to this place by a friend and stop by monthly if not more. Always walk out with multiple rice rectangles as my group of friends and family call them. The spicy beef over rice is just the perfect meal. Don't sleep on their bowls though the pork bowl is top tier! read more

I ate the combo #4 while my gf ate the "wednesday" special. They tasted so good that I didn't even realize I had ate as much as I had. The lady at the register was kind enough to ask us if it was our first and time and even helped us with recommending the plates! The place is small, but cozy and perfect for a comforting meal. Everyone who was coming in and out seemed really happy and I definitely was, too. Will go again! read more

Been patronizing this spot since 2001 when i first emigrated from mejico. I thought i wrote a review... Silly me. The value is superb. Price to quantity to taste ratio is unbeatable. The chicken is moist with minimal seasoning. The teri sauce is thick, sweet anx pungent so if your tongue is acute to flavor then get sauce on the side. The beef is good. Not to thin like yoshinoya style and not too thick like a steak. Bit more seasoning than chicken amd definitely recommend sauce on the side. If i get steak i dont use any sauce. Cali rolls. They pre-made from the morning. Its a good filler with all that rice. They sell em in two or four packs. Plus the combos come with a two pack. Mandoo (gyoza) are bomb. These my faves here. If you get a combo then you can add a four pcs for a buck or so. Combos. There are nine combo variations. Combo 5 is the biggest plate with a soda. Add mandoo for a buck and you have a feast for under $10. I get combo three i think. Basically a regular chicken bowl with two pcs of cali rolls and mandoo. Comes with soda. Soda is one free fill up. Good family owned spot. read more
