This is an absolute hidden gem! I absolutely love their fresh sashimi and poke bowls. Their deep fried shrimp onigiri rolls are melt in your mouth. I would go here everyday if I could

My favorite spot for Japanese food to-go! Everyone knows about their rice balls, which are always tasty and very filling, but my personal favorite is whenever they have tuna specials. Truly some of the best tuna I've had! So fresh and reasonably priced. I always appreciate the assortment of sushi and bowls on offer, and how they usually carry a few types of fun desserts.

The black pepper karaage, that's all you need to know- DO NOT leave here without it! It can sell out by the afternoon, so come during the lunch hours if you can. Shalala Deli is located inside the "Fugetsu" store/building. In addition to items from Shalala Deli, you can also purchase prepared food items from: Fugestu, Rokko, Shalala Deli, and Doshirak. I believe they also added items from Koja Kitchen, but I don't remember seeing their section when I went. I ended up trying: -Black Pepper Karaage ($5.50): SO GOOD- a must try! They keep this dish under heat lamps at the store so you can eat it right away if you'd like. I didn't eat this until dinner time and re-heated it in the toasted oven, and it was still delicious. The skin/exterior of the chicken was nice and crispy, and I wonder if they use a little mochi in the batter since it had a subtle chewiness. The black pepper flavor was subtle, but the chicken was very flavorful, especially after you added the packet of Kewpie mayo on top. -Short Rib Onigiri ($5): Solid onigiri, and this was actually a giant portion of rice once you flatten it out. The short rib was tender, but not super flavorful. I would rather purchase their salmon ikura onigiri the next time around. I will be back for more of their black pepper karaage! Parking in this complex was fine during the weekday, but it can get very busy/crowded during the weekends.

Stumbled upon this little shop while walking around the plaza. I love love that there's a variety of different options on the different foods you can get. Everything we got was delicious! It was actually really difficult to choose what we wanted to buy. They also have some sushi, chirashit, onigiri, and lots of drinks to choose from. Cute small place - very much a grab and go! The people working there weren't all up in your business but they were very nice when checking out.

I LOVE the concept of a Japanese konbini in the states. I mean, this was what I've been dreaming of forever. However, this place doesn't hit all the notes. The okonomiyaki are dry when being held like that. Rice balls and bentos are decent but way overpriced. Why would I pay that amount for a bento that's been sitting around than a fresh one from a mom and pop Japanese restaurant? Flavors of the salmon shiso rice ball were great but I think clover bakery right next door has authentic rice balls for half the price. Hope this place gets better because I really want a Japanese convenient store like Famima! agaib

This place is a small and it's in the corner plaza near N7 ! They have a wide range of Bentos, Roman, Tehran, salads , Kim bap! Sashimi and different fried foods my favorite one is the cheese pork cutlet!!! I love everything here. It's good to come early in the morning because it's all fresh. There is parking so you can park in the parking lot. I love how they turn this into a deli.

I placed a catering order for my daughter's birthday party. I just had to tell them the budget and everything was sooo delicious!! Both quality and quantity was great and everyone was very satisfied with their food. This place is really reliable and I will definitely repeat for other occasions.

Daily bento with unagi, hamburger steak, potatoes, spinach, and a runny egg. Perfection.
Crys L.

This place is the ANSWER! I've always wondered when we would see a casual hot bento establishment in this area. Japan has been nailing the grab and go scene for decades, and it's by far one of the things I love most about the cuisine. Accessible and delicious are my food values. Sha la la deli has its own section inside of Fugetsu rife with a myriad of delectable options. Stacked onigiri triangles, salt and pepper chicken karate, daily bento special with golden runny yolk... need I say more? Grab an asahi black on the way out and you're set!

Black pepper karaage. So good.

The black pepper chicken karage is bomb.com! Super convenient place to grab and go (and stop by mitsuwa on the way too)!

Tried this lovely Japanese-Italian fusion spot in the Bay Area for the first time. We tried their…read moremochi pizza-Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza. I love mochi, so I was really curious how it would work on a pizza. It actually worked surprisingly well. The chewy mochi added a unique layer of texture to the crispy crust and paired nicely with the other toppings. We also had a variety of pastas, both seafood and meat. The portions-especially the seafood and pork cutlet-were generous, and I really enjoyed the subtle sweetness in the meat sauce. The blueberry yogurt drink was beautifully presented. The little heart-shaped container held syrup that you can pour over the ice to turn it into flavored shaved ice, which was a fun touch. The matcha parfait was also tasty and a great way to end the meal.

Great good and great service.

The servers are very attentive and the wait time for the food is barely 10 minutes. Very efficient. The meals are great, the baguettes came with refilled. The whipped butter is light and creamy. I kept wonder if a drizzle of honey could amplified the taste. Pizza and pasta are obviously very taste and chewy. The restaurant is very nice and cozy as well, a mixtures of Japanese and Italian cuisines. It's a cutesy and vibrant, perfect for date. Overall, I think it's a wonderful experience and meals. Very unique concept!

I finally tried Must be Thai after years of hearing great things about it on a Sunday evening. We…read moregot here around 6pm and there was a pretty long wait but we got seated outdoors after about 40 minutes. The outdoor seating is just a few tables and chairs and the indoor seating definitely looks a bit cuter and more decorated but we were starving and happy to take the first table available. Service was super kind and even though we were the only party seated outdoors we never felt forgotten and our water stayed filled throughout the dinner. We got the Pok Pok Phu papaya salad which comes with little marinated crabs and was nice and refreshing and a just a hint of spice, the Tom yum rice which was my favorite and a standout dish - super flavorful, fragrant and generous amounts of seafood, the green curry with chicken which was a comforting classic, and the southern pad thai which was also solid and tasty. Everything was flavorful, generous in portion size and very enjoyable - we did ask for mild spice and would probably go for medium next time since I did want to enjoy some more heat with the dishes! Overall I can see why Must be Thai is a popular favorite for Thai food and I'll definitely be back more often :)

The good -service was excellent even with a smile. Parking is easy too…read moreThe bad- food is lacking in almost every way. Fresh spring rolls with shrimp we're served instantly which is always a sign they've been prepared and sitting in the fridge therefore clear wrap is hard and not soft as it should be. Patay with chicken okay but lacked in flavor. Tom yum fried rice extremely salty. In fact I couldn't eat it. The shrimp and calamari in it were okay and not salty like the rice. I ate here 2 years ago and wasn't impressed then, but my friend wanted to go here so I thought I'd give it another try. Never again. I will stick to the Thai restaurants I know.

They're open late and serve a variety of rice bowls & ramen. The staff are kind, friendly, & happy to help -- but orders are placed through the tablet at your table. There are fun neon lights that set the vibe & k-pop stars all over the walls. We tried the cc chicken & the RJ army style stew; The chicken was breaded & coated in their cc sauce. They give you the option to have an extra sauce on the chicken, or on the side. I chose the chili sauce (on the side, since I prefer to dip) and really enjoyed the bowl with macaroni salad & some fresh greens. The fresh salad was a nice surprise as I finished more of the plate! My partner really enjoyed their stew; the flavor tasted of fermented soybean, with various meats, cabbage, & served with noodles. The noodles looked like they were instant, but still tasted of good quality. They brought out a tabletop stove to keep the soup hot, and showed us how we could turn it off or lower the heat when we were ready. It was a cute & nice little touch that we really enjoyed~ Looking forward to coming back again to try more of the menu!

The food was okay. A bit too saucy for my taste. Kimchi fried rice did not have much kimchi…read more Self order on the tablet is convenient and minimum tipping is 15 which is reasonable. Feels like a good food and drink place for friends or colleagues to hang out. Too bad I cannot drink today and I was alone, so did not get the whole experience.
