Love this place! When I'm hungry and want a quick bite, they've always been there for me and it was…read morea successful quick bite every time. The store has sooo many things to look at and it seems to be tight for movement when there's a handful of people, but all that struggle is worth it since the yummy food makes up for it. I always make sure to grab something behind the glass to pick the cut of my choosing and the workers there are always giving out great recommendations. Can't go wrong with the toros, highly recommend chu toro and otoro! There's a few parking in the attached garage, and people are usually going in and out so I never had issues with parking.

Heard so many good things about Yama from my friends and while I want to keep it a secret, it's…read morejust too good not to share. The BEST grocery store sushi I've ever had, and I think it's due to how fresh everything is so the sushi rice doesn't have the chance to get cold in the fridge. I find that a lot of grocery store sushi is ruined by the cold rice even if everything else tastes good. They were constantly restocking even in the 10 minutes I was in the store, and people were grabbing all the new stuff as the worker was putting them out, so I could only try a few things. It's okay though because the things I did try were so good. California roll was insane, so huge and stuffed with ingredients, was definitely my favorite. The spicy scallop maki also was pretty spicy! The seaweed salad was good, and I appreciated that they had a burdock root side which is pretty hard to find! Perfectly crunchy and had a slight sweetness to it, would recommend if you're trying to find something new. I will so be back here if I'm ever in need of a quick lunch or bite for a picnic or something. Wish we had something this high quality for the price in OC!

Food 10/10 Service 10/10…read moreAmbiance 10/10 Walked in here randomly because it was something I had saved for a bit now and I already liked that I didn't have to look for parking on a Sunday 3pm in a busy shopping center. It was busy inside but still got seated without waiting. Insane quality of fish not one single item I ordered had an off taste. The fast that my spicy mayo and ponzu was full when I left goes to show how insanely well they prepared the food sauce wise. Overall great place I will be back to try more things for sure. All this food double the salmon roe and scallop sushi because it was that good I had to go for round 2 but all this for 80$ was insaneeeee!!!!! And of course leave tip lol. For sure coming back!

Reasonable sushi eats in k-town…read more Went for a weekend sushi dinner. Theres some parking in the plaza, as well as street parking if you're lucky. We had an rsvp but wasn't busy when we arrived. Was sat immediately and served water. They have a pretty extensive menu of most things you'd find at a sushi cut roll spot. We ended up ordering the toro garlic toast, veggie tempura, ginza roll, and several pieces of nigiri sushi. The toro garlic toast was pretty good - sort of like a spicy tuna crispy rice situation ... but a little fattier and more garlicky than crispy. The ginza roll was pretty good too - a lot of fish in the roll and wasn't overwhelming with too much sauce. The tempura was good too- not super oily and all your typical veg involved. The nigiri sushi were pretty well prepared. The size was pretty good for the price - and each were accompanied by a small garnish on top or a little bit of sauce brushed on. All in all - I wouldn't say it's a date night place, but is a good easy eats sushi spot for rolls and nigiri for the price. Would recommend!

My husband and I moved away from LA, and since then we've been craving quality sushi. Whenever we…read morecome back to visit, we enjoy trying new places, and I happened to stumble across this spot while looking around for lunch. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the manager and staff, who were very attentive and happy to answer any questions we had. For our meal, we splurged on two lunch sets and one sashimi assortment. The portions were extremely generous for the two of us, and the freshness of the fish was incredible. I definitely recommend trying this place if you get the chance to visit Chapman Plaza. We'll definitely be back

Incredible meal that was made even better by the attentive and friendly service! My boyfriend and I…read morecame for dinner on a Friday night and had made a reservation for 7:30 PM. After finding parking in the residential area, we walked to the restaurant and got seated right away. Note for parking: there is a lot available for all the restaurants in the complex ($10/car) but it may be difficult to find parking here during peak meal times. If you're willing to walk a bit, park up the street near the apartments. We chose to seat at the bar and had a wonderful experience talking to our sushi chef and Tiger, the manager. We were told that our sushi chef was one of the best chefs from their Japan branches, and that was evident in all of the sushi we ordered. Every cut of fish was consistently thin and crafted with expertise. We ordered quite a spread (spicy tuna crispy rice, albacore with crispy onion, eel nigiri, sweet shrimp nigiri, agedashi tofu, wild cod nigiri, etc.), and every dish was on point. The fish quality is unlike anything I've ever had before. In fact, Tiger told us the tuna is brought in from Japan. After ordering from our iPad, we started asking our chef and Tiger what their favorite dishes were, leading us to try all these different, off the menu customizations. Overall, such a fun dining experience and really solid sushi. We will absolutely be back.

Food & drink 4/5 - Chicken karaage was 4/10. Batter is…read morecrunchy and thick. Chicken itself is a bit stringy and dry. Salty but lacks a depth of flavor. - The truffle sushi roll had a prominent truffle flavor (which I enjoyed, but may not be for everyone). Crunch spider roll was a favorite; just a solid classic with soft shell crab (love that an extra piece of crab is included on top of the roll). The fried onions on top of the Tokyo roll were crispy and sweet. Uni was fresh and delicious! I had uni only one time before and had a bad experience (it was incredibly fishy, and now I realize, not fresh). So I was apprehensive at first but I'm glad I gave it a chance because this uni was buttery, smooth, and briny in all the right ways. - Matcha tea was okay, medium profile matcha flavor. Not bad for the value though. Clean and refreshing. -Might be a small thing to point out, but I like how they include lemon slices automatically in the water. I also like the texture of the ice (evenly crushed and almost like a slush). Service 3.5/5 Not too long a wait for the food. Polite and professional waiters. Aesthetic 4.5/5 Traditional izakaya vibe with a relaxed, warm atmosphere. Low lighting inside. Modern layout with traditional Japanese decor.

Noon, Thursday, January 29, 2026…read more My mentor and I walked to Yuko Kitchen for lunch. I'm a first time visitor, never been here as I usually brown bag it for lunch. Upon arrival, it looked really busy with people seated outside. Yuko Kitchen is not a major fast food joint. It's a small kitchy hole in the wall. Super cool vibe when I walked inside to order my meal. I ordered the DIY sushi bowl that included nori to make my own hand rolls. It was a lot of food for sure! I made 6 rolls. The food was delicious. I enjoyed my first visit here. It's a hidden gem off of Dunsmuir Ave just off of Wilshire at the rear of the building.

It was just warm rice and tofu. The tofu didn't even seem cooked. If you like this place great. I'm glad you guys had better experiences than we did.

4/27/2026 SHOYU…read moreRAMEN Deliciously addictive shoyu broth! Made with organic chicken broth and house dashi. The broth was deep, rich in flavor, yet not heavy. I could have drank the broth by itself! The ramen was wavy and thin and very slurpable. I wish it was slightly more chewy, but it was still good. The chashu pork was tender and juicy. Given half of the seasoned egg, which was soft and jammy. Perfect! Too bad they gave only half of it. Bamboo shoots and scallion were added as well Really enjoyed this ramen and would order it again! BLACK SESAME CREME BRULEE This was good, but the serving bowl was shallow and the portion was small. Strong black sesame flavor and the brulee top was crunchy with a lovely caramelized sugar, as expected. The one disappointment was that it was not custard that was served, but sesame cream. It was as though they added black sesame paste and whipped cream together. Then added the bruleed top. CUSTOMER SERVICE I was there for lunch on Monday. It wasn't busy nor crowded either. Only one server working. Everyone was already seated and eating. Since I was the only one that has not been served yet, the service was quick. Server was straight to the point too. She did check back during my meal, which was good. Given my experience, I would return to try other items on the menu. But most likely return to order their Shoyu Ramen again. PARKING It is a medium-sized parking lot that is shared with other businesses. Parking is free. They had a valet sign at the front, but there was no valet available during the day. I didn't have trouble finding parking, but I got lucky, as it was packed by the time I got there. There were maybe 1-2 other spots available, but they filled up quickly.

Came here on a Saturday evening after grabbing a drink at 3Cat (same plaza). We didn't have…read morereservations, but the staff was super kind and squeezed in our group of 6, much appreciated! We weren't super hungry, just wanted to try the ramen on a whim, and honestly, we were not disappointed. I shared the truffle butter tonkotsu with a friend. So rich and comforting. Just a heads-up, they charge an extra $2 if you want to split a bowl, which is fair. Also appreciated that they were upfront, since we had a party of 6, they let us know 20% gratuity would be included in the bill. No surprises. Overall: solid ramen, good service, small but cozy.

Parking is street and there is a $5 lot in the back. They open at 5pm. The service is great, cooks always smile at you and it feels cozy and inviting. Ive visited there 4 times since my initial discovery of it and im going back! The prices are a smidge high for some items but that's me. All night roll with red onions, bacon wrapped asparagus and sake. Dee li cious! The all night roll has the best ingredients to me. Bacon wrapped asparagus, that's all I need to say. So good and served on a skewer. Last but not least the sake. It is different, has a perfume like smell, im still undecided if i like it.

Really good Korean Style Izakaya experience. They take…read morereservations via Yelp so I would recommend getting one on a busy weekend. It's pretty hidden, in the same plaza as Pharaoh Karaoke (and share a bathroom). It's in the basement so you need to go around the outside of parking lot by the front and down the stairs to the basement... super yummy! We got some yakitori skewers and some Karaage as well as drinks. Next time I definitely want to try their sushi and sashimi as well.

A K-Town Masterpiece! If you want the perfect bridge…read morebetween a traditional Japanese Izakaya and the vibrant energy of Koreatown, Izakaya Mi Young is the place to be. Tucked away on 6th Street, this spot feels like a cozy, sophisticated secret that opens up into a world of incredible flavors and top-tier hospitality. Here is why it's my new favorite spot in K-Town: The Soba is Mandatory: They are famous for their Handmade Soba, and for good reason. The texture is perfect--firm with a clean, nutty finish. Whether you get it cold with a dipping sauce or in a warm broth, you can taste the craft in every bite. Incredible Small Plates: The menu is designed for sharing, and every "bite" is a hit. The Tuna Carpaccio is incredibly fresh, and the Agedashi Tofu has that perfect delicate crunch while remaining silken on the inside. The "Mi Young" Hospitality: The service here is what really sets it apart. The staff is warm, attentive, and they make you feel like a regular on your very first visit. They are excellent at suggesting sake pairings that complement the specific dishes you order. Atmosphere: The vibe is "elevated cozy." It has beautiful wood accents, dim lighting, and a refined yet relaxed energy. It's the perfect escape from the hectic pace of the city--ideal for an intimate date night or a deep catch-up with close friends. The Highballs: Their drink game is on point. The highballs are crisp, perfectly carbonated, and serve as the ultimate palate cleanser between savory plates. Pro Tip: This is a smaller, intimate space and it fills up fast with locals who know what's up. Definitely try to grab a reservation or head there early to secure a spot! Izakaya Mi Young is a beautiful addition to the neighborhood. It's soulful, delicious, and executed with a level of care that is hard to find.
