Spam Musubi
Mikey V.

We were looking for other locations of The Loft and found this. It is a quick service style restaurant unlike the Lakewood location where a server may take your order. The menu is definitely smaller than the Lakewood location. It also doesn't advertise that you could substitute the patties with Island Fried Chicken in the Loco Moco. But I asked for it anyways and they were able to do it and it came out quick -- faster than Lakewoods location. I liked the meat to rice ratio more than Lakewoods (which had way less meat). Unfortunately it wasn't as tasty as the Lakewood location. The Spam Musubi was better than Lakewoods. The food was still good, but if I'm craving the Loft, I'll still drive farther for their Lakewood location.

6/25 catering menu

It's been awhile since my last review. Based on recent visit & recent catered food at a friend's party. Noticed a smaller menu. Slightly higher prices as it is everywhere. My go to is Lau lau. Order came with 2 scoops of rice & Mac salad. Still a great combo. No longer effecting lomi salmon as an addition. As my previous review stated, the pork while tender could use a dash of salt. No butterfish of course. Hubby had half a loco moco. We must be getting old because we just can't eat as much as we use to. Recent catered food at a friend's- chicken teri, beef teri, Mac salad, fried saimin were all very tasty with plenty of sauce served in the side. I've had the catered food several times & it's been great every time. My friend has had mixed feelings with the fried saimin. It's very mushy half the time, great half the time. Complaints to counter person or management seems to fall on deaf ears. My suggestion would be, when ordering to go, take a peek before you leave. Not even sure it would matter if not prepared properly because they don't really care. Still giving 4 stars even with verified complaints.

It's been a little bit since I've last been here. In all it's good, the chicken was a bit rubbery, but the flavors are still there, and my son could care less about the texture. :P The service and ambiance are always good here, they're quick and friendly, and the place is always clean. :)

Full order Chinese chicken salad
C M.

Was trying to think of something I haven't had in a while for dinner and landed on the Chinese chicken salad from The Loft. Once one of my faves, I always got a scoop of macaroni salad with it, so did that today too. The chicken salad was still yummy as I remembered.. plenty of dressing and a little side of extra teriyaki. However the mac salad was horrible. It used to have that wow factor and now it has that should I keep eating this because something seems a little off factor. In fact I threw half of it away and surprised myself that I ate that much of it. I hope I don't regret it in the night I have to assume they changed the recipe in the last 5-10 years. Not a good change; I won't order that again

Confirming purchase at Cypress.

No stars. We ordered the "Island Hawaiian fried chicken" for our 4th of July gathering. It was very disappointing. Over cooked, dry and stale. Almost as if they didn't sell this chicken yesterday and re- fried it. We didn't notice it, prior to putting it out and boy were we disappointed. I'll add pictures to show just how dry. We would have brought it back but we were hosting. There was no time to go back.

grilled chicken teriyaki plate about $11

I LOVE COMING HERE, one of my go tos when I crave cheap and delicious food. The prices don't feel like they've changed at all in the past years which is crazy. my family loves to eat their grilled chicken teriyaki plates. It comes with Mac salad, an actual salad, and extra sauce on the side. Simple and CONSISTENT. Never had issues with the service here. Very quick pick up or take out. In a small plaza and lots of parking. This is my experience from doing take out all the time here.

The beef plate
Thomas M.

The chicken Katsu is delicious and tender with just the right amount of bread crumbs. Unfortunately they do not do a very good gravy for the Katsu but still would recommend it. They also offer a chicken, beef or mixed plate. All of their plates come with a side salad that consist of coleslaw salad mix that has crusted up ramen noodles in it. I did not recommend the salads. The ramen noodles are uncooked. Try the potato salad instead. Served on one plate. The service is always friendly. The dining area is nice for eating in. They have several televisions.

Are you open? We tried calling and no one answers

They are open as the times that are posted. If there's no answer wait a few minutes and try again. Usually means they are slammed and the other phones are currently being used. Happens cause they get busy steady foot traffic. Totally worth the wait

From the moment we walked in, she stood out for all the right reasons. Her customer service skills are genuinely top-tier--she greeted us with a warm, sincere smile that instantly made us feel welcome and comfortable. Casie has such a pleasant and approachable demeanor. She took the time to really engage with us, making sure we felt taken care of without ever seeming rushed or distracted. What impressed us most is how attentive she is--she listened carefully and offered thoughtful recommendations based on what we might enjoy. If you're unsure what to order, she's the perfect person to guide you. Her suggestions were spot-on and made the whole dining experience even better. Beyond her professionalism, Casie has a wonderful personality that shines through in every interaction. She brings such positive energy to the environment--it's clear she enjoys what she does, and it reflects in how she treats people. On top of that, her beautiful complexion and confident presence add to her overall charm, making her truly memorable. It's rare to come across someone who combines efficiency, friendliness, and genuine care so effortlessly. Casie goes above and beyond to make sure every guest leaves satisfied, and that level of service deserves recognition. Because of her, we'll definitely be returning to Matiki BBQ and recommending it to others.

One woman in particular (presumably a manager or long-time employee) was shockingly, aggressively rude in a way that's hard to overstate. She barked orders and accusations at customers with zero patience, yelling over trivial things that no reasonable person could possibly know or control. Her tone was dripping with contempt, her attitude unapologetically hostile, and her behavior screamed ignorance wrapped in unearned entitlement. Zero warmth, zero professionalism--just pure, unfiltered disdain for the very people paying her bills. No one should have to endure being treated like an inconvenience or an idiot just to eat decent barbecue. The food might be worth a try if you're willing to stomach verbal abuse, but for most of us, it's not. Her complete lack of basic decency and customer service skills makes this place actively unpleasant. I won't be back, and I can't in good conscience recommend it to anyone who values being treated like a human being. One star only because the ribs themselves don't deserve zero--but she absolutely does.

First visit. The…read morelady was kind while ordering, asking our questions. Got two bowls, a taco and a few musabi 's. We waited about 10mins for the food. Seemed they weee busy overall. Mostly people getting food to go or DoorDash. Everything was very good. The taco was unique, the spicy one. (Only thing on the menu that's spicy) Glad to try something different. Flavorful and a little kick, . The leftover musabi will take for Disneyland tomorrow , hoping will be fine! We will return.

It's alright.... Foods... edible. People were nice…read more Just that the price is high for something just okay. We got soft shell crab masubi, not bad, probably the best of the items we got. But I think a spider roll anywhere else would've been tastier. It did come out crispy inside the masubi though so it was fresh. But there wasn't a whole lot of it. We also got the Wagyu and feta masubi taco and an unagi masubi taco. Wanted to try the influencer hyped crispy tacos. They weren't crispy not crunchy... more like hard and stale. Wanted to like it so much after those insta videos. But it was a let down. The fillings in them were okay... but like... just okay. Again a roll at some chain sushi joint is better. Along with a side of brussel sprouts it was about $39 before tip. Wait took a bit cause of all the door dash. While my experience wasn't bad, it wasn't anything that was worthy of all the hype. I'd rather go to the other side of the building and grab a Vietnamese coffee and some pho for less.
