Great food, great service. Large portions, worth the price! We ordered: --shrimp wontons: we thought there'd be cream cheese, but it was just shrimp. Still very delicious. They were crispy and not oily. --single order Chicken katsu: crispy, fresh, not oily, large portion --tempura shrimp with white rice: crispy, fresh, not oily. Rice was delicious and fluffy. Broccoli was soft with a slight crunch --beef fried rice: tender beef, delicious flavor --miso ramen: egg cooked perfectly, noodles are soft, not overdone, good flavor --miso soup plain: delicious, I wanted plain warm soup and this hit the spot! read more

The food here is fresh and served hot! I especially enjoyed the macaroni salad--it was a standout. The bento offers a great variety, making it a satisfying and well-rounded meal. I'll definitely be coming back often. read more

I went here for lunch with two friends on January 14, 2026, on our way home from a road trip. The food selection was excellent, the price was very reasonable, and the service was excellent! Our food portions were so generous, my friends had to take the rest of their food to go. The venue was very small with limited seating. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The garlic sesame tofu is delicious!! The portions are very generous. I'll be back. Tofu takes longer - order ahead.

This place is a gem! I ordered the Chicken Katsu Bento and an order of Pork Gyoza. The food was fast and the guy working the register was kind. I ordered to go. The food was delicious! Everything was light but flavorful. I actually ate a Gyoza on the drive home. The katsu was crispy and juicy, the rice fluffy and the gyozas were crispy and well flavored. This was my first time here and I will definitely be returning! read more

We ordered the beef gyudon, beef yakiniku, and chicken karaage. The food was okay but the ratio of onions to meat was very disproportionally imbalanced. Also, the reason for one star is mainly the blonde girl who was working the cash register. She didn't greet us when we walked in and answered short and in a condescending tone when I asked what kind of sauce was on the beef yakiniku. She also did not tell us when our order was ready and just put it on the counter. We said thank you when we were leaving and no response. Would not come here again solely based off POOR customer service. read more

A clear ask for utensils and sauce on the side I didn't get none at all and the mac & cheese seemed watered down didn't have enough mayo or whatever it is that they add just disgusting. Not worth it read more

Okinawa BBQ & Onigiri - This is what I requested and I got absolutely none of it. It's not like if I put no sauce no chopsticks I literally asked for those things. - Japanese Near Me - Lancaster, California

Second time ordering and won't be ordering again. The beef bento was missing the beef! It was 99% onions! And macaroni salad has a weird taste & don't understand why they put edamame in it? They do love to load you up with rice though.. unfortunately I am not paying $50 for rice. You guys lost a good customer. read more

I can't emphasize how delicious the food is from here! I get something from here *almost* every week. They also have such a good variety of food, too. Always tasty and fresh. Service also 5/5. My personal favorites: Spicy edamame: so simple but so good. It's not always 100% the same, sometimes it being spicier or less some days, but always delicious. Macaroni salad: delicious, fresh, not too sweet or salty, exactly what you would expect. Ramen is good here too, I've tried the spicy vegan tofu and the spicy chicken. The broth is light and flavorful, not too salty, right amount of spice. I get extra eggs. They're very soft and tasty. Cooked to perfection. The fruit tea: very refreshing, not too sweet, but just the right amount. Will update if I try the Thai tea as well. Bento boxes are very well priced in comparison to other places! Chicken katsu bento box is very delicious! Tried the classic Okinawa onigiri. SO good. Great ratio, doesn't feel like it's "too much" rice. I get full off this item alone. Give this place a try if you've been wanting to. You won't be disappointed. read more

AYE! NOT TOO SHABBY! 5/5 STARs While this place is fairly new, I have only GOOD things to say and NO complaints! - FOOD SCORE : EXCELLENT 5/5 I only ordered TAKOYAKI (I was looking for a quick snack when I came across the place) Food was FLAVORFUL and NICELY presented! Food seemed very QUALITY! DELICIOUS SIDE NOTE: While I only ordered one item (an appetizer by classification) I did think the item was a bit pricey (about $10.00 if I remember correctly) BUT‼ It could just be the state of the economy, what do I know? ANYWHO! - SERVICE SCORE : EXCELLENT 5/5 I was greeted by a cashier whom NOT ONLY took my order, but also gave me an ESTIMATED wait time AND of course, ACCURATELY took my order (Though to be fair I only got one menu item). The cashier politely asked if I wanted my receipt, I declined and that was that! - AMBIENCE! SCORE : EH... 2.75/5 TO BE FAIR, this place isn't exactly the cheesecake factory it's pretty PETITE! So if you're looking to feed a family of 4+ and your food ISN'T to-go, THEN I simply wouldn't. ALSO, the kitchen is directly behind the cashier area (it's separated by a thin wall) SO it can be quite noisy with all the cooking noises. If you're looking for a romantic date night/lunch date spot, I'd take the food to-go, unless it's just a "quick bite for two" situation! OTHER THAN THAT... The place looks CLEAN, ORGANIZED, and is nicely themed Overall, GOOD PLACE! If my description fits something you might find of interest, I'd say GIVE IT A GO! read more

I feel this place is highly underrated after visiting for about 10 times. -The Onigiri is in the restaurant name for a reason. The cost to food ratio on those things are definitely justified. The Classic and the Gyudon onigiri are both substantial and are $7 - $9 each as of 8/2025. They can be a mean by themselves if you had a water or soda on the side. -The plates are also good and decently portioned. I have no complaints on the size of them and personally love the vegetables with the meat. -All items I've had from here, the onigiri, the yaki udon, the karage, and a few others have all been delicious and also reheated well. I just reheated my onigiri today due to big back eating thier other dishes yesterday day and it reheated great. I personally think this place deserves much more foot traffic as the food is good and reasonably priced, but maybe folks dont know how delicious the onigiri is. The service was also good for me as I have met the staff at random and haven't had a bad experience. Overall it earns a 5 from me. Its much cheaper to get an onigiri and drink from here and its more filling and healthier than getting any other fast food burger combo. read more

A great place to stop in and grab something quick. Personally love their Karagi chicken, guidon beef, and short rib. We also love that you could get a bowl or a plate depending on how much food you want. Their gyoza and hand rolls are great as well! They're always very nice and fast service. The place isn't super set up for sitting inside but they do have tables to do so if needed and it's always clean and nice! read more

Okinawa BBQ & Onigiri - Potato croquettes and vegetable udon - Japanese Near Me - Lancaster, California

This review is primarily for the blonde cashier lady that was working while we were in today on 2/15. Extremely rude and unprofessional. Gave my mom and I the dirtiest look for no reason while looking like she just rolled out of bed herself at 2:00pm in the afternoon and turned her back to us after leaving the food. To the owner: your food could be great but this employee very well could be costing you business with her attitude read more

Tried the chicken katsu bento. Huge portions. Two layers of chicken and 3 potstickers. Liked the creamy sweet sauce it comes with. It was tasty. Also tried the beef ramen. Not a typical ramen that's soupy. It has some broth in the bottom. I really enjoyed that. Everything was freshly made to order. Ambiance is so-so, but appears very clean. Not big. We had our food to go and it was still piping hot when we got home 10 min later. read more

Okinawa BBQ & Onigiri - Partially eaten potsticker order--crispy, tasty & good sauce - Japanese Near Me - Lancaster, California

I tried this place for the first time today with some co-workers for lunch. I was expecting a lot more in terms of flavor after all the positive reviews I read, but I was disappointed. As soon as I saw the teriyaki chicken, I could tell it was dry. My coworkers and I all got Bento plates with different main dishes (teriyaki chicken, shrimp tempura, and so on). We all took a bite of the macaroni salad and thought it had a really weird aftertaste, so we didn't eat it. The flavor of the meats were ok and the sauces that came along with it were just ok, too. My final verdict was at this place didn't blow me away. It was... Meh. read more

Okinawa BBQ was a great experience from start to finish! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and amazing service the man on the register truly made me feel welcome and taken care of. Now the food? I mean oh my god Next level. Every single dish was packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, and beautifully presented. The meats were tender and juicy, the sides were fresh, he even threw in some fried rice on the side and the sauces brought everything together in the best way. It honestly might be the best Japanese food I've ever had... If you're looking for top-notch Japanese BBQ with friendly staff and unforgettable flavors, do yourself a favor and go to Okinawa BBQ. You won't regret it! read more

Amazing food and amazing service. Their ramen is possibly one of the best ramens I've ever had.

Highly recommend. Good food for a fair price. Food 10/10 (love the fried rice no matter what the protein) Atmosphere 5/10 it is in a strip mall Service 10/10 very kind and always have been helpful with questions about the food. Wait time 7/10. Some food is faster than others. Price $$ very good for the amount of food you get. read more

The gyudon beef onigiri is equivalent to a musubi on steroids. It has gyudon beef, spam, egg, and onions. A decent price for its size and taste. The salmon onigiri was disappointing since there were very small bits of salmon. I was tempted to give a three star because of this but the other items definitely saved it. The karaage was pretty good. Glad there is a place in the AV that has good karaage. And finally the bingsoo was very good and flavorful. My gf and I got the strawberry/mango one! read more

Ramen is great! Onigiri is hefty in size and tasty. Prices are decent. Will try other items in the menu.

Great food. I had the yakiniku bento and the potstickers were nice and crispy the meat was sweet and tender and the rice complimented the meat very well. The onigiri was good but needed more of the grilled salmon filling. read more

Legit Japanese bento boxes! Protein portions are generous and the prices are fair for what you get. Highly recommend the kalbi, katsu, or unagi. Still need to try the other items next time. read more

I love coming here for onigiri, alwyas opt for the salmon and tuna one. 10/10 taste and consistency. First time trying the spicy shoyo chicken and AMAZING. Has become my new favorite spot for ramen, absolutely love the chili oil it comes with. The portion of the soup was extremely generous, came with an abundance of protein! The soup base is to die for. Can tell there is a slight language barrier, so if that would be an issue for you just order ahead on yelp. Staff overall nice and professional. Haven't eaten in the shop but it's very clean, small, cute to take your kids. Oh last thing, the price is extremely affordable. 12/10 recommended. read more

Had the unagi bento, which was decent, do NOT get the onigiri. I tried both the salmon and tuna ones, and they are just rice with flavorless fish. Not only that, I get like 5 little flakes of salmon and a tiny bit of plain tuna in them. Not trying again. read more

I ate here the first couple weeks it was open, so this is a delayed review. The chicken karrage was super fatty with a small ratio of actual meat. It didn't taste good. Shrimp tempura was okay. Macaroni salad was strange, and didn't taste like any macaroni salad I've ever had from a Hawaiian place. But to give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it's supposed to taste different. read more

Do not go here for the onigiri. It is an overpriced huge ball of rice. Not even a table spoon of filling. The salmon was just grilled salmon with no sauce. VERY dry. The Bento box was ok... but the salad was Mac salad and was not my favorite. The sesame balls were pre packaged nothing special. Over all we were not hungry, but maybe they will get better with time read more

Was waiting on this place to open and it was really yummy when we tried it! We got the takoyaki, gyoza, classic okinawa, katsu, and gyudon beef. It was all good and came out super fast. The people there were friendly and the place was clean. There was a couple tables you can sit at and a separate tablet you can order from if theres someone ordering at the cashier, which was convenient. Overall love this place and will be coming back again! read more

Food was disappointing. Dry, lacking flavor, sauces used sparingly. No trashcan in the dining room. Probably won't be coming back here.
