Parking was easy to find in the plaza's shared parking lot, and the restaurant interior was casual and clean, offering indoor seating for dining in. Interaction with staff was minimal, but service was sufficient. I got the mini loco moco with rice and veggies (instead of mac salad), and the mini size was filling for me. A large juicy beef patty, perfectly cooked overeasy egg runny in the middle, and a generous amount of steamed veggies, mainly broccoli but a few small carrot slices too. Everything drenched in a delicious gravy. I was happy with my meal.

During a recent visit to Sunnyvale, my wife & I stopped here for a quick Saturday lunch. It was…read morequite busy in this small strip mall, so there was no parking in the lot. Thankfully, there was plenty of street parking right around. We walked in and saw the good selection of food available on the steam table. We both ordered a 2-item plate; mine had the lechon kawali (deep fried pork) and the longanisa (breakfast sausage), while she chose the sisig (chopped up pork cooked with onion and jalapeños) and fried bangus (milkfish). Our plates also came with steamed rice and soup. Since this is a cafeteria style place, our food was ready to eat (though our server offered to heat up the bangus a little in the kitchen). The lechon was very good, not too fatty but still had plenty of crispy skin to go along with the meat. The longanisa was also tasty, very sweet and not spicy. My devoured the bangus, dipping it in spicy vinegar. Since we were in a bit of a hurry, we took some of our food home for breakfast the day. This is a very solid place for a quick meal. There isn't much seating inside, and there were many orders placed to-go while we were having lunch. Will definitely return the next time we're in the area.

I got the 2 item combo which comes with rice and soup for $18, not a bad deal. I got the dinakdakan which is like the creamy cousin of sisig. It was creamy, a little tangy, and had great texture due to some of the crispy pork. That was really good. My other entree was the dinuguan. That was good and the pieces of pork were big with some chew to them. I think the cut of pork included the skin. The soup sinigang but it was just the broth, no toppings, for me at least. Parking is a little limited in the parking lot so I parked on the street. I would try the halo halo next time I'm here. Service was friendly. Overall, it's a small cozy spot with ~15 different entrees to pick from. Go check them out!

The brisket was some of the best brisket we've had a kbbq. Most places serve it much thinner than here but we liked it here a lot. The beef tongue was perfect with the truffle salt. And the A5 wagyu was the perfect fattiness to end the meal with the bibimbap. We'd definitely come back since everything, even the banchan was delicious. Definitely make a reservation though, since the wait can be a little long!

This is one of those places you save for special occassions and we did just that and came for early…read moreMother's Day. We had reservations but still had to wait a little while as we had a party of 8. We were seated in 2 separate but adjoining tables. KBBQ Meat - Not just any meat, but high quality and highly graded meat. We ordered 5 out of the 10 cuts and they were all delicious. I also learned they are called 10 Butchers because of the 10 different cuts from the cow. Green Onion Pancake - This served as a good meat palate cleanser. However, if I had known beforehand that they served similar mini pancakes as a side small plate, I wouldn't have ordered this as an appetizer. Wagyu Dumplings with Rice Cake - This was also good to have aside from the KBBQ. The flavor was simple yet comforting. One order is good for 4 people. Banchan - All were great! My personal fave was the yellow dried squid or fish with black sesame seeds. And that mashed purple yam thing was also good. I just wish they told us what each dish was. Like I didn't know what to do with the bowl with apple water? Service - As someone who has been fortunate enough to experience KBBQ in Seoul, this was the closest to it. Having the restaurant staff cook the bbq for you ensures the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.

Came here for dinner because I couldn't decide what to eat…read more The food is consistent here and the fryer is always hot! The bbq chicken and beef plate was pretty good. I don't normally order bbq but this was done well, without too much sauce. I chose to go with all Mac but this plate usually comes with Mac and white rice. I also orders the chicken katsu plate. The chicken katsu was fried well. Super crispy on the outside but the meat was not dry at all. I liked that both dishes had steamed cabbage and broccoli to help me feel better about eating more veggies The inside of the place was minimal with tables all my the wall. The staff was quick with taking orders, bringing out utensils and bringing out the food. This is always a safe choice for dinner

Have been meaning to try this ramen spot for quite a while. The menu is definitely interesting too…read moreas I don't know any other place that has both ramen and hawaiian food. It's also a quick service - order before sitting down and your food comes out in 2 minutes. We got the black garlic ramen (medium spice), which was super tasty but not spicy at all, and the tonkotsu ramen (mild spice), which was rather bland. It tasted more like chicken than pork. Lots of appetizers to choose from so we tried the lumpia. Would not get again. Bland as well and dipping sauce was just your chinese restaurant packets. Water cups were red solo cups - that was fun! Love that it's a family business all around and would definitely come back to try the hawaiian side of the menu!

Tokyo Central had a surprisingly wide selection of Japanese snacks, specialty items, and premade…read moremeals. The produce section was not as extensive as those at other Asian markets, but it was still adequate. However, the store carried many unique candies and snacks that I have not seen elsewhere. Notably, sakura flavored products were especially common during my visit. There were two large sections dedicated to premade meals, including rice bowls, hand rolls, onigiri, and sushi. The rolls seemed overly heavy on the rice, with relatively little fish filling. The prices also felt somewhat high for the portion sizes. However, the store offers a 20 percent discount on sushi and bento boxes daily after 6 PM. I ordered the nigiri combination, which included salmon, tuna, and scallop. The scallop was plump, and the tuna was sliced thickly. The salmon was slightly thin but still rich and fatty. Overall, the fish quality was good. The sushi rice was above average, with a distinct vinegar flavor despite being refrigerated. The total cost for the eight pieces was close to restaurant pricing, though the convenience factor partly justified it. I would rate this market a 3.5 out of 5 but rounded up for the good sushi rice. I would recommend shopping elsewhere for produce, but this is a good place for snacks and premade meals, especially after 6 PM.

Was craving for poke and been in this plaza multiple times but have not ordered from here before…read more Honestly solid poke place! Ambiance: modern and clean. Place was pretty empty on Saturday lunch noon. Parking however was difficult to find as it looked to be very active Service: worker was welcoming and friendly, was patient while I ordered. Small bowl (4/5) $16.25: 24 oz bowl with 2 scoops of protein, free sides of seaweed salad and crab salad. Fish tasted fresh to me along with the other toppings. First time seeing chicharron as a topping and more than the usual dry toppings compared to other places. This bowl stuffed me beyond.

For around $20 after tax for a medium size, the bowl felt a bit small, especially when it came to the amount of fish. Flavor wise it was solid, but I left wishing it was a little more filling.

10/10 -- Absolutely Incredible!…read more We stopped at LL Hawaiian and WOW... this place is something special! We ordered the combo plate where you can choose two proteins, and we went with half beef and half shrimp. Both were AMAZING -- the shrimp was perfectly crunchy and the beef was packed with flavor. We also got the 3 musubi mix (one katsu, one spam, one BBQ chicken) and every single one was delicious. We added a side of katsu and the portions were HUGE -- two big eaters couldn't even finish it. Total bang for your buck! The sauce was incredible, the sides (mac, rice, and salad) were on point, and everything tasted super fresh. 10/10 would recommend!!! We would honestly make the trip out here again just for this restaurant. A new favorite for sure!

This used to be one of my go-to taco truck spots but over the years the quality and experience have gone downhill. Burritos are now around $16, which might be fine if the food still felt worth it, but it doesn't. The flavors aren't what they used to be, and everything tastes much more saltier than before. The service has also changed. The staff up front isn't very friendly anymore, and since COVID they got rid of the salsa bar (before it used to be self serve outside their food truck). Now if you ask for extra salsa, you're charged $1 for two tiny containers, which just feels petty given the prices. I think a good salsa can make or break the Mexican food. I really wanted to keep loving this place, but between the cost, the taste, and the overall experience, it's just not worth it anymore. Disappointing after so many years of loving this spot
