My friends and I ordered the beef teriyaki and roll combo, an additional lobster roll, and three OKF jelly drinks (our first time trying them). Everything was delicious! The beef teriyaki combo came with cabbage salad, miso soup, macaroni salad, and rice, making it a very filling meal with generous portions. I was a little skeptical about the lobster roll at first, but after one bite, I couldn't stop eating it. I loved how it was stuffed with meat. I ended up finishing the whole thing and would definitely order it again. The OKF jelly drinks also caught my eye while browsing the fridge. I love drinks with jelly, and these did not disappoint. The peach flavor was my favorite, and now I want to stock up on them, I hope they have this at HMart! The best part? The three of us left completely stuffed, and our total was under $50. Such an amazing value for the amount and quality of food we got. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly, and they were generous with the sauces. There are plenty of comfortable booth seats, and I also noticed they offer catering, which is great to know. If you're looking for delicious food, generous portions, good service, and a place that's quick, affordable, and satisfying, I highly recommend checking this spot out. I'll definitely be back!

Looking forward to coming back and trying more items from the menu!

Generous protein portions heaped on top of hot rice and I believe they also make their own ranch dressing, addicting! But really order extra jalapeños if you love spicy!!! And just letting you know I only had about 30 people show up BUT EVERYTHING WAS EATEN. This just tells you how delicious the food is. Not only with adults but TODDLERS and KIDS ate it too which actually deserves an extra star. I did omit the avocados that usually come with the chicken bowls cause I had no control as to when my friends were coming and I didn't want them to brown. Even though some of my friends showed up later the food was still good! No reheating or anything on my end. Enjoy!

Everything about this place hits right--the portions are generous, the food comes out fast, and the flavors are consistently on point. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or settling in after a long day, it's the kind of spot that never disappoints. The teriyaki is perfectly balanced, the rice is soft and fluffy, and everything tastes fresh--not like it's been sitting around. What really stands out is the value. You get a ton of food for the price, and it actually tastes good, not just "cheap good." The staff keeps things moving and is always friendly, even when it's busy. It's one of those places that becomes a go-to without even trying. Simple, reliable, and honestly kind of addictive.

Staff was nice, not super attentive. Wondering why they named this place Izakaya if all they really sell are generic rolls and teriyaki... anyway back to the rating. We ordered several rolls, sashimi, and couple apps. The Edamame was weird. While traditionally steamed and tossed, or fried and tossed with garlic n chilies, these were.... Wet? Like swimming in some type of sauce. Sauce was tasty, but it was so weird to look at. Rolls were very underwhelming. Nothing popped, nothing hit you making you come back for another bite. Family did not enjoy it, would rather return to Kyoto across the street or Jin down the street. Just saying.

We definitely didn't expect the food to be so great! We've been here about 4 times now and their food is consistently delicious. My order is always their Yakimechi bowl. Which is their version of fried rice with squash, carrots, shrimp, beef & chicken. They top it with cream cheese, crab, avocado, eel sauce & sesame seeds. HIGHLY recommend this dish! We've also tried some of their sushi rolls and all have been tasty. Today we tried their Masago Sinaloense which has crab inside and is topped with shrimp, spicy mayo, eel sauce, sriracha & sesame seeds. Their Culiacan Roll is one of our favorites! Besides really great fried rice and sushi, their birria is one of our favorites. My toddler absolutely loves their tacos de birria con consomé. They are not stingy with the birria either! Very filling portions. Their micheaguas are super refreshing too. Now, as far as the service and the vibe, this restaurant has to be one of the most wholesome spots in Lynwood. The restaurant is ran by a family and we met the dad on our first visit. He told us he opened the restaurant and his kids help out. Everyone we've met is super friendly, attentive, and welcoming. This helps them a lot because the wait time is veeerrrryy long...30min+ sometimes. We ordered in advance this time and when we arrived, our food was ready. I do recommend dining in the first time because they have great food presentation BUT fair warning that it will be a bit of a wait. It's worth it though. After that, call in your order and just pick up or eat there like we did. They have a great outside area with plenty of seats and shade. They also have TV's all around now (guessing bc of the World Cup?) but this was a great addition. Overall, this is a great lil hidden spot in South Gate/Lynwood area. Would absolutely recommend!

UPDATE: After my experience, I looked through other recent Yelp reviews and was surprised to see…read moremultiple customers describing very similar issues with the front-of-house service. Recent reviewers have described the service as rude, unhelpful, and accompanied by a poor attitude. One reviewer described the service as "awful, horrible, rude service," while another said the woman at the front had a "terrible attitude." Another recent reviewer described the host as rude after being told to wait outside in the rain and wind, and another specifically mentioned that the hostess was not helpful when they had questions. Unfortunately, this makes my experience seem much less like an isolated incident and more like a recurring customer-service problem. My own experience involved someone at the front who was unnecessarily difficult, unwilling to help with basic questions or alternatives, and ultimately refused service when I asked to speak with management. What is even more concerning is that I subsequently tried multiple times to reach management about what happened and did not receive a return call. When several recent customers are independently describing similar experiences with front-of-house staff, I would expect management or ownership to take those complaints seriously. Based on my experience and the pattern reflected in other recent reviews, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere that values its customers and treats them with basic courtesy and respect.

I know, a burger at a teriyaki spot? YES!! So bomb! The flavor is on point and the portion sizes are more than enough. My partner and I always share these two because we can never decide which one we want. The chicken and beef is always so flavorful and the rice is nice and fluffy. Their gyozas are delicious too. Glad the plate comes with two! We just saw the newly added items (sushi) and we'll be trying that next. The service is always quick and friendly. We've never experienced rude or inaccurate service. We always order to go, though, because the place is small and they have limited seating spaces. It's right next to the grocery store el superior so it does tend to be busy and at times crowded. This is a must! And it's one of our favorites in Lynwood! Definitely recommend!!
