After bookmarking their Yelp page two years ago, I finally tried Shootz, a Hawaiian-Asian joint located inside Rodeo 39. Don't ask me why I didn't stop by sooner - I honestly have no excuse as to why it took me such an absurd amount of time to make the trip. Lol. Better late than never, I suppose. Anyways, I ordered the Hot Kimchi Butter Chicken Katsu sandwich. The fried chicken cutlet was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and it had a nice little zing of kimchi flavor (though I do wish the flavor had been more prominent). That being said, the kimchi-flavored chicken katsu paired well with the creamy mac salad and toasted bun. All in all, it was a pretty unique katsu sandwich, and it certainly left me satisfied. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

Shootz - Hot kimchi butter katsu sandwich - Hawaiian Near Me - Stanton, California

My only hesitation about giving this place five stars was that having ordered their shrimp multiple times, the flavor was not consistent. However, I was in search of good Hawaiian garlic shrimp around the area or something similar and I found this to be the best one for me around here in OC. I love Broken Mouth for authenticity but it's in DTLA and I love MamaG's shrimp on Instagram if I want to gorge myself in garlic but you definitely have to schedule to buy from her. Shootz's shrimp plate is delicious. I love the Korean fusion and that you can make it more saucy. I love how crispy the shrimp is and how good the mac is. The spam musubi is also great. Again, the only issue I had with the shrimp was the consistency of the sauce. Some days the flavor of the sauce had a bit more spiciness than other days. But overall, their shrimp alone is so good that I think that's enough to give them 5/5. read more

I don't usually write Yelp reviews, but after pulling up to Shootz on Beach Blvd, I felt like I had to put some respect on their name. Let's start with the food--this place doesn't miss. I got the Garlic Chicken plate with mac salad and white rice, and bruh... . That crispy garlic chicken is perfectly seasoned, juicy, and has that sticky-sweet-savory balance that slaps harder than your auntie at Sunday BBQ. Mac salad's creamy without being mushy, and the rice? Always clutch. The vibe? Chill, island-style energy. Music bumpin', staff's laid-back but on point, and the service is fast--none of that standing-around-wondering-if-they-forgot-you energy. You can tell this isn't some watered-down Hawaiian spot trying to be trendy. This is legit. Pro tip: Grab the Spam Musubi. It's criminally underrated here. And if they've got any specials on deck--go off the menu and take the risk. You'll probably thank me later. Only downside? Parking can get a little dicey during peak hours. But let's be real--if you're not willing to park a little down the street for greatness, you don't deserve the garlic chicken. read more

The food was packed very well. The food is amazing and very tasty We love it! We have already ordered here a couple of times and more to order here in the near future read more

Shootz is sooo good. I usually get the katsu chicken sandwich and spam masubi. The portion is kinda big and the quality is consistent. One of the best places to eat at rodeo 39! The chicken sandwich is so crispy and the spam masubi has a crunch at the top which makes it so yummy. read more

TL;DR - food is alright, quick & fast most of my family is from hawaii, the food doesn't really compare to the real stuff, but that's to be expected. - i think it was just OK, rice was kinda hard and the meat + sauces were pretty salty service is good, there's some nice seating, it's just a bit loud since it is in rodeo 39. i would recommend if u want to switch up from eating regular sushi. read more

Located in a strip mall food court. Menu is limited. Order at the counter and they called your name when the food is ready, place it in a small paper bag. Limited indoor and outdoor dining, appears most people got their orders to go. I ordered the Komatsu mixed grill, which comes with a couple of large spam sushi bites (didn't particularly dig these). The mixed grill was quite good. And although a bit expensive, one of these platters are definitely splittable. read more

I probably come here every time that I'm in Orange County. Shootz is located inside of Rodeo 39. We came right around opening on Monday. I ordered to-go since I wanted my friend from LA to try it. The service here is very nice because the staff is so friendly. The kimchi butter chicken was so good! There's so much flavor and it's really buttery. Paired with the macaroni made it unbelievably good. I didn't picture it, but the spam musubi was creamy and sweet too! read more

The worker here was literally the sweetest and let me sample the 3 different special drink options - I preferred the peach mint drink - highly recommend. I got the #1. The chicken katsu is so good and the spam musubi was so so good! The mac salad is also delicious and really helps with the flavor palate. I would go back and eat here in a heartbeat! read more

I had an awesome first time at Shootz. As a first-timer, I had no idea what to order, but the staff were super patient and helpful. They had offered recommendations and favorites making the whole experience much less awkward for someone who didn't know the menu. Everything came out fresh, and the overall vibe was fun and welcoming. The food tasted amazing. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

I was recommend by friends and family to try shootz if I wanted to try something new. I went last weekend and man oh man this place is something else! I ordered the chicken sandwich with the kimchi sauce... heaven in your mouth!! read more

The cashier today 12/22/25 at around 1:45-2:00 was extremely low energy and on top of that, they didn't have the chicken katsu that I was originally there for. When I had arrived at the cashier she was reading a book and to simply put it, it felt like she didn't want to take care of me. I had ordered a shrimp plate #3 and had asked for the pink lemonade, and she says that it's actually pineapple something which is what it is. The atmosphere is definitely not welcoming at all considering that i have been here numerous times in the past. The food is good, but the service was terrible today. This is one of the places where I want to go to have a good experience and vibe but today was just not it. read more

Great food!! It is inside the Rodeo 39 Public Market. It has an upbeat atmosphere with heavy bass music playing throughout. They have a cute little patio at the back to sit outside. The service was perfect!! They were quick and friendly. It gets busy so much sure you have a few minutes to wait or order ahead. We had the meal that came with spam brûlée musubi, kimochi butter shrimp, and a drink. We asked to substitute the rice for mac salad and the drink for the mint peach limeade. The food was so good; fresh and flavorful. The shrimp was crisp and yummy. The mac salad was tasty to with tuna and noodles cooked perfectly. The drink was good but had a little fermented flavor. Not bad but just a warning. Would definitely come back to this place. read more

Little spot inside the gastro food court/bar that was hidden in the back but great flavor. Island cuisine that was worth the drive. You're first fooled by the portion thinking it's not enough, but by the time you're finished you're surprisingly full. Service was great, the cashier was super nice and helped out when i was missing an item. Overall will def come back for the spicy, buttery katsu and that mac salad! read more

Food is great and service is a good. The sandwich is my favorite. I will definitely come back to order again!

It's not the same. I ordered the same thing I ordered before I stopped going here. The shrimp is 1/10th of the size, the rice was okay, and the mac salad was bland as usual. The shrimp was fired in a batter and taste like Popeyes butterfly shrimp with some chili oil on it. WTH is this, the 6 pieces of shrimp use to fill the plate and it tasted better. Don't charge me the same price and give me less food and less quality . Charge me more and keep the same quality or make it better. read more

Katsu chicken sando with mac salad in it: genius. Came on a Sat in Aug, and it was one of the busier spots in Rodeo 39. The #2 with 2 katsu chicken sandos, 2 brulee spam musubis, and a drink was a great deal at $20.49 (only about 2.50 more than not getting the second sando), and they let us do one spicy, one regular! Sandwiches were tasty but felt quite greasy as leftovers. Spam brulee was not too salty compared to most and had a delightful char. Strawberry pineapple lemonade was just okay (kind of tasted like pink gummi or some kind of candy). I love the cute cartoon pineapple with subtle pink decor and simple menu (as noted by the bf). We enjoyed the warm summer night outdoor dining complete with TVs playing the Olympics and a mini arcade next to the bar/brewery place. Just beware that some games were not working (blue shooter) and the Ninja Turtles game didn't let you add money to continue playing :/. Would recommend for a unique spam musubi, rich sandwich (eat it fresh) and ambience/variety in Rodeo 39. read more

Found out about this place thru TikTok! Luckily was no line to order when I came around noon on a Sunday. Ordered the kimchi butter katsu chicken plate ($13.49) and the mix plate ($16). The katsu chicken was nice and crispy, and the kimchi butter flavor was yummy and unique but it was a little too oily and rich for me. Each plate was big enough to share between 2 people read more

I had no idea that I was missing kimchi butter in my life. I had seen Shootz all over IG, so when my daughter asked where to go at Rodeo 39, I suggested it. She was raving about it and when we ate lunch together, she wanted to go back. We ordered Wavy Bundle #1 with the kimchi butter katsu chicken plate , 2 pieces of Spam Musubi brûlée + drink and a kimchi butter katsu sandwich and found a table outside on their patio. They text you when your order is ready, which ours was really quickly. The sandwich had mac salad and it was fantastic. That kimchi butter really makes the chicken taste delicious! The katsu was perfectly fried and that kimchi butter made it really stand out from other katsu. I am not usually a Spam musubi fan, but their version with the bruleed top made it a little sweet and cut the saltiness. Michelle was great in assisting us with our order! Now I am obsessed with returning to try their kimchi butter shrimp! read more

The food quality has consistently been going down, and prices have also steadily increased. They made slight changes to the recipe a while back and it's never been the same as how I remembered it to be. Quite disappointing as I used to exclusively order Shootz when visiting Rodeo 39. Now it's just not worth the wait to pay a premium in time and money for average food. It doesn't seem like management is great because it shows in the workers' body language. read more

Known for their Katsu sandwich and Spam Brûlée Musubi, glazed and torch fire mayo topping. These are the only two things I get for the past two years. They used to be on the other side of Rodeo 39 near the restroom across from Japanese Curry, and have expanded and moved closer to the Tattoo Parlor. Flavors remain the same, great taste, Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 They have tables and chairs now! That is all, I haven't tried any other items on the menu lol. read more

I was visiting my cousin, and we couldn't decide on a place for dinner, so she brought us here so that we everyone had options on what they wanted to eat. We all decided to try this place, because one of my cousins said it was really good. And indeed, it was. We all ordered the Wavy Bundles with the Kimchi Butter Shrimp & Chicken Mixed Plate, the 2-piece Spam Brulee Musubi, and a drink. We all really enjoyed it. I loved the flavor and texture of the shrimp and katsu chicken, although I wish it had more spice (we ordered spicy, but couldn't tell). First time I tried spam musubi this way, and it was yummy. Would definitely come again. read more
