Shrimp tempura Don
Melissa L.

Why have you all let me sleep on this spot for so long? I had one of the best lunches I've had in a while here and who knew that I'd find amazing Japanese food at a little Oxnard strip mall restaurant?! If you are like me and have driven by this spot a hundred times and not bothered to step in, hurry up and turn around to make your way back because this place is phenomenal for homey comfort Japanese bites. This restaurant gives very mom and pop vibes with cute decor and excellent service. The restaurants decor was inviting and cozy but still spacious to accommodate a good sized group for a lunch or dinner rush. Service was 5 stars hands down. The waitress who took my order and bussed my food out was really nice and attentive. I was impressed at the pacing for the food as everything came out in good time. If you are coming on your lunch break it's good to know you can get in and out in 30 minutes, but they also don't rush you. The menu was bigger than I expected with a lot of great options. They have rice bowls, teriyaki, sushi, bento boxes and more. A nice variety. I was super hungry when I came in here so I luckily got to try a few of their popular items. Started with a miso soup which was super tasty, simple but made right. Alaskan roll: spicy tuna roll topped with fresh salmon. Delicious for a simple roll. The salmon tasted fresh and the spicy tuna had a good little kick to it, was a tasty roll given that they have a limited sushi menu. Some rolls and nigiri but definitely more of a specialty in their rice bowls. I had the tempura shrimp rice bowl with onions and eggs. Omg was this bowl full of flavor, great textures, and they don't skimp on the toppings. This shrimp Don was 5/5! Was one of the best dishes I've had in a while, it was simple but so tasty. I loved the sauce and texture that the crispy shrimp brought to the soft rice and eggs. I've been craving this dish since I left that I'm eager to get back here soon. Can't believe such an inconspicuous place is serving up some of the best Japanese home cooking in the 805. Love this spot and will be back soon, and with some friends!

Never been here before, but food was good. Very welcoming quaint place with fast service for 2 people working. Prices varied on certain items. Would consider returning to support this local place since it's been around since the Esplanade opened.

This place has always been consistent with their meals and customer service. Headed over for dinner after a day of work and a rosary service. We arrived an hour prior to closing and were still welcomed and seated in a friendly manner. The place is always kept clean and plenty of places to seat. We came for katsu Don and a couple appetizers which were served generously and at the appropriate amount of time. My favorite is still the bento boxes with salmon but the katsu Don was perfect dish as comfort food.

The food is good, but they really need more staff to greet customers, take their drink orders and ACTUALLY come back with the drinks.

Mong Q

I missed a Mongolian BBQ joint since moving to Oxnard, and was quite pleased to see that Mong Q…read moreopened in the Collection. I stopped by a couple of times to get the lay of the land, kinda sorta, and tried it a couple of times. I loved the choices and everything looked fresh. During my most recent visit, I had a chance to speak with Junior and Angel. These guys really helped me make some better, more enjoyable decisions and my wife and I truly enjoyed our meals. It was clear to me that these guys wanted us to be satisfied and did everything they could to make it so. They truly seemed to care about the product and it made me feel that much better about my decision to eat there. I am going back there again, because of these two people. Pro tip: You decide on your sauces at the outset. I'm glad they offer minced garlic. When you mince garlic and store it like that, garlic slowly loses its flavor so to get that garlic punch that we crave, don't be afraid to ask for more. Much more! (I get five scoops!) Pro tip #2: Careful on that spicy sauce! Use too much and it will be overpowering. Pro tip #3: Like a great pizza with lots of topping options, too much is just too much. Be selective in your meat and veggie choices. The tendency is to pile it on, and I, for one, love doing that, but it can be too much of a good thing. A little bit less makes for a tastier outcome. I am slowly training myself to be more selective (it's not working...). Pro tip #4: If you're thinking about lunch, get there when they open. The options look fresh and inviting. You'll miss the rush. Going back today!

I am basing my review on 1 visit, during lunch. There wasn't…read morea line so I was able to be seated immediately. Ambiance- seating inside is generally small tables close together and the dining area is on the smaller side. An open kitchen area is behind the counter, but they also have more kitchen space behind in the back. They layout really reminded me of Tokyo Ramen houses that are designed for solo single eaters (as a lot of Tokyo casual dining is). During my meal, the majority of us at tables were solo eaters, only 1 other table had 2 diners. So I imagine if you're a larger party it, it may be hard to get seating at busier times due to smaller number of tables. Ordered- Tokatsu ShuShu ramen. The noodles were springy and bouncy. The broth is creamy and tasty. I still think I really enjoy Silverlake Ramen's Tonkatsu broth (I don't know what their secret ingredient is that makes it unique) but URamen's is still satisfying. I had 4 pieces of Chashu, 1/2 of a seasoned soft boiled egg. The yolk is seasoned in a very sweet sauce- interesting taste. They add a wonton crisp which is unusual for Ramen bowl! I would've like nori crisp but that's ok. Service- One server was taking care of the lunch crowd. The owners are Thai, and I believe the server is also Thai. She was quite polite. Usually I think most Thai restaurants offer that super kind, and humble service to customers. (I say this as Korean Ame, it's noticeably different than immigrant run Korean or Chinese or Vietnamese restaurants) I do prefer the taste of Silverlake Ramen, BUT they have even more limited seating. The parking and access here is easier and quicker than going to the Collection Annex, so I think this is another solid Ramen place. Note- They are closed on Mondays, and closed between 3-5pm everyday. The first time I came, was during their closed time.

This place was pretty good. Good amount of ramen…read more The Cali roll was ok, not the best. Really large roll. Service was good. Ambiance was good. I'd come back.

We drove down from SLO and I was craving hotpot since there's not much asian food where I'm at. The server working on Saturday afternoon was so friendly and helpful! He was the only one working but he got us everything we needed and even bussed all the tables himself. I was really impressed that he could handle the whole store himself and still keep up a really positive attitude!! The food was really good! Compared to SoCal, it might be considered average, but when you compare it to anything in the central coast (esp north) it's really tasty!! We talked about coming back any time we have some business out here! It was relatively quiet and peaceful. I think we went in during a slow time, but I'm glad we did!

I first tried Tasty Pot in NorCal, but at the time I wasn't impressed due to the numerous options…read moreavailable there. It also doesn't provide that traditional hotpot experience which I find much more enjoyable. However in VC options are limited, so when I saw Tasty Pot recently opened I was quite ecstatic! There were 12 different pots and 5 spicy levels to choose from. Pot numbers 1-7 were smaller size and numbers 8-12 were larger size pots. Except for the Healthy Veggie pot, all the soup base was pork broth. Most of the pots also had very similar ingredients, the difference I could see were the main protein choice and soup flavor. They also have another menu for rice and noodle options if you didn't want to do the personal pots. We got the Taiwanese Supreme in mild and the Seafood Lobster in medium. We also got a side of quail eggs. The pots arrived with a candle of some sort below to keep it hot. Both pots were of the larger size and filled with lots of food. The mild was the perfect level of spicy for me, a hint of spice that does not overpower the original flavor of the ingredients, rather it enhanced each one and made it more tasty. Service was good, our server came by frequently to check on us and to refill the soup. At one point the flame under the pot had already gone out but we hadn't cook the noodles so we requested another flame. We were told they had to bring the pot back to the kitchen to heat it up. So I guess the flame was there to just keep the pot warm rather than actually cooking. Although this cannot compare to the traditional hotpot, this personal hotpot is still a very good option and helps to satisfy my craving.

Edit update: I had a minor missing item in my online order, and there's a link if you want to…read morecontact the company. I mentioned it, and did not expect a full refund, but they offered that. Unnecessary but appreciated. I returned and ordered my usual Classic Tokatsu, and maybe there is a different broth for Blaze version. This time Classic broth tasted closer to what I happily remember. I also opted for grilled chicken option, and you get much more quantity chicken compared to chashu pork. This makes sense as chashu pork is labor intense. I'm raising back to 4.5 stars (even if I can't show that extra .5) I still place Silverlake and then URamen as my fave local options. I think this location primarily operates as take-out restaurant. There are maybe 5-6 tables available for dining there. There are surprisingly limited # of general tables to eat inside the Annex; may have better luck eating takeout at outside tables. Silverlake's tables are reserved only for those dining in, you can not sit at a table if you're waiting for your takeout order. I ordered the Blaze (tonkatsu broth) ramen. It didn't have that same special taste I remembered. Today my seasoned egg was missing, but that is not the reason for lowering a star. Overall, from what I remember, the broth does not have that same unique flavor; the noodles were still good and fresh tasting. I also had a chicken bao snack, and it did not have a freshly cooked taste; nothing stood out in the flavors. I expected it to have more punch with kimchi inside, but it was kind of flat. Ramen is packed very well for takeout; they have a great system of separating the broth, noodles and making it easy to re-heat ramen at home and mix it together in the larger noodles/ sides bowl. Still good ramen, but maybe the flavors and some quality has become more muted. * Note: I did not realize this until I saw the prices at the counter, but if you order online, prices are approx. 10% higher, probably to cover costs of takeout containers etc. Generally I have not seen higher prices for ordering ahead. It may be more cost-effective to order counter take out if you don't mind waiting in longer lines.

The Garlic Truffle Ramen is absolutely out-of-control good. The broth is rich, savory, and…read moreperfectly balanced with bold garlic and earthy truffle flavor that isn't overpowering. The noodles have the perfect texture and soak up all that incredible flavor. It's the kind of bowl you crave long after you've finished it. Full honesty, the location itself isn't ideal. There's rarely enough room, and the seating arrangement is weak. If you plan to dine in, there has to be an open seat available before you can even order. You have to wait for space to open up first, and only then can you place your order and sit down. It can definitely be inconvenient. The prices are also on the higher side. I'd love to see some occasional specials or slight price adjustments to make it more accessible. That said, I keep coming back anyway. The Garlic Truffle Ramen is just that good. For me, it's worth working around the tight space every single time.
