The ladies were so nice & attentive to all the diners. The food was amazing! I would highly recommend their seafood pancake. So tasty & the right amount of seasoning. It was served w a soy sauce & sesame seed dipping sauce. Mandu had a more savory broth as compared to a sweeter broth of the Udon. We would definitely come back. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Unfortunately, the quality of the food preparation seems to have declined since my first visits,…read moreand my most recent experiences have been disappointing. I gave the restaurant another opportunity yesterday, but unfortunately, I left disappointed again. It appears they have done away with their old bento boxes. The dishes used for the banchan with the lunch special still have a somewhat dated appearance, including some chipped pieces. Considering the relatively high price of the lunch special, I would think updating the presentation and serving ware would be worthwhile. The service, however, remains friendly and efficient. I ordered the bulgogi, and while it wasn't bad tasting, it didn't seem to be prepared properly. The meat texture was a bit mushy and onions had no caramelization, and the dish lacked the rich, savory flavor and texture that makes good bulgogi so enjoyable. It almost tasted as though it had been cooked at too low a temperature. Unfortunately, the banchan were also disappointing. They were very bland overall. The carrot in the potato-and-carrot dish had an odd taste that reminded me of cleaning solution, so I actually spit it out and didn't eat the rest. The kimchi portion was extremely small and, frankly, didn't look particularly appetizing, so I didn't try it. The radish was also very basic and lacked much flavor. The two wontons were unremarkable, although the radish soup was still good, as it usually is. The salad was fine as usual, and the mixed rice was tasty. Ultimately, though, when I'm paying around $23 before tax and tip for a lunch special and receiving such small portions and inconsistent food quality, I don't feel the meal represents a good value. I really wanted to give this place another chance because I enjoyed my earlier visits, but unfortunately, this most recent meal left me disappointed.

My friends and family come here for fun occasions and just hanging out. They have big tables so good for large parties. For the years we have been going here, service is okay for the most part. We've had some servers who sometimes forget about us and we have to wave them down sometimes when we are ready to order more.. or don't check up on us often.. I will say, Arvin is by far the best server ever! He is attentive, gives good vibes, shares good recommendations, and chill! We always get excited when we have him as a server because we know he takes good care of us! 5 stars for him!

My sister has always talked about going here ever since she started seeing this place show up on…read moreher social media platforms. ​After a previous failed attempt (we went when they still had an hour before opening, with a hungry group in tow), we ended up grabbing breakfast elsewhere. ​So I was happy when my brother decided to celebrate his birthday meal here. ​My choices on my most recent visit were the Tuna Kimbap (think tuna roll sans the additional condiments), the chicken rice bowl (comes with japchae and rice), and a Strawberry Yakult drink. ​I did see pictures from other customers showing they have (had?) Jajangmyeon, but I didn't see it on the website nor on the menu during my visit. I'll have to ask next time. ​My Strawberry Yakult drink was nicely refreshing, and I would order this again. I will probably try to make it at home as well. ​My Kimbap was really good. It was simple, used fresh ingredients, and filled me up faster than I had anticipated. I ended up taking my chicken rice bowl home to enjoy later. It was still really good the day after, but it was just a chicken bowl. Good, but nothing surprising. ​The group also ordered wings and my sister got herself Naengmyeon. I will have to come back and try the other items on the menu. I'm happy an authentic Korean restaurant has opened in the 805. It has been a food desert for different cuisines for a long time, and I'm happy it's finally improving.

I've been there a handful of times and am surprised to find *another place to eat there that I had missed in previous visits. Just to name a few food items you can find here: pizza, ice cream, chicken, hot dogs, super food, coffee, etc. It has a pretty large footprint, too. It's a great place to meet friends to eat or to find a quiet space to work or veg out. Currently, I would say my favorite place to eat is Gordo's Hot Chicken. Good stuff! Great, convenient location with a variety of places to eat and drink. Enjoy!

We had the Okinomoyaki - $11 and it was a perfect small appetizer for us; this one definitely reminded us of our trip to Japan! We also had the delicious Alaskan & Philadelphia rolls - $15/ea approx. I had their Thai tea which had a unique taste, not too sweet and perfectly balanced. I'd suggest just asking for extra ice if you prefer cold teas. My husband had a large Asahi beer which was super refreshing after our earlier walk. 10/10 would recommend. We are locals and will be back! Thank you to the restaurant and its staff for providing excellent customer service.

After a long day on the beach at Oxnard our family stopped by on a Sunday evening for a quick dinner before driving home. The restaurant is seemingly the only survivor left in a strip mall food court, leaving, after sunset, an almost eerie feel with the restaurant taking up one corner of an otherwise empty courtyard. We ordered and our food came quite quickly. We got the Tonkotsu Ramen ($13), which was quite poor; while the proportions were generous the broth was off and the ingredients melded together a bit too much, like a stew kept on for too long. The dinner bento box with teriyaki salmon ($17) was decent though, with great tempura vegetables, excellent fried gyoza, and good, if generic, salmon and spicy tuna maki side. We also got the B.S. II roll (whatever that stands for; $14), a California roll topped with cooked scallops and shrimp and spicy mayo. We've had many variants of this before (my spouse being a cooked sushi fan) and this was fairly mid, as the foodies say these days. A special note should be said for the service; our waitress, while quite busy by the end of the evening, attended to our needs, added on drinks later, and even put on the game at my request. Value, listed above, I found to be quite favorable. The food quality was limited, yet this still made for great budget pick. My expectations weren't high for this Fisherman, but he met them. The steady stream of pickup drivers and other families who came to that empty mall are telling, however. This is a stalwart, stubborn shop in a dying mall - an adequate, budget-friendly sushi place for the people. I can appreciate that. Food: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 5/5

From the…read moreparking lot we could see only one table with a two people, but a large, happy looking, family was exiting with arm fulls of to go bags so we decided to chance it, my partner especially excited for hot pot. We let the group pass us and entered the restaurant. We were promptly seated at a corner table and given menus. It did take a bit for the server to come back to take our order, but we did realize we came in 1/2 hour before closing, so we eased off a bit. My partner order the hot pot and was very happy with his choice. The server came back with a hot plate and instructed us how to cook the meat. I was a bit apprehensive about having to cook my own food, but the fragrant smell as it cooked changed my mind. The broth was flavorful and the veg and meat were tender as they soaked up the soupy goodness. I also ordered the boa buns and the pillowy texture, mixed with the soft pork and crunchy cucumber and carrots made my belly sing. We slurped up our food and cleared out as quickly as we could. I hate being that person that lingers at closing time. What I do regret is that I did not take more time at their counter as we exited because it was full of snacks and curios that I love. Next time for sure!

I've had mostly good experiences at Anaba, and I have to say that my main gripe is communication…read more Both of my bad experiences had to do with waiting. Once it was waiting for a server to come take our order, and more recently it was waiting for my to-go order. Put simply, the to-go order was placed at 6pm, I was told it would take 20 minutes. I showed up at 6:20 and the gentleman told me it was just being made right then, so it was going to be a few minutes. I didn't get my food til 7pm, after I flagged down the manager and she personally looked into it. An hour is insane. Now I was also told that they were down one sushi chef and that they had a huge order (approx $800 of sushi) but stilllll. The food here has always been quality, and parking can be a struggle on busy nights. The ambiance of the restaurant is fine, nothing to write home about.

The Japanese style of grilling each item on a stick and coveted bar seating around the open kitchen squeezed into a narrow bustling space is truly authentic. If you're claustrophobic, walk through the interior dining area to the back patio for an open air experience. Food is ordered from an App so come with a full phone battery charge. You order each skewer and all other items and they are brought to your table as they come off the grill. We ordered a couple Japanese draft beers and the Spicy Garlic Edamame to start as we studied the revolving selection of skewers on the menu. Tip- keep that edamame plate because you're going to want to double dip with that leftover sauce. You choose your own adventure here and the quality of the food and preparation are outstanding. I think Sushi when I think Japanese food-- not here- it's Kushiyaki style ! There's no Sushi! We ordered One of many variations of filet mignon, ribeye and chicken skewers in order to taste our way through the menu. We kept ordering 2 at a time and sharing. The Unagi was a stand out for my husband and apparently is very popular. I felt that that the beef skewers were more flavorful than the chicken but all the proteins were grilled to perfection and very tender. The Fillet with onion sauce and the ribeye with yuzu were standouts to me. The servers are friendly and efficient. If you want the full experience, come early and snag a seat at the bar so you can watch the dinner theater. Here the focus is on the perfect bite! Tip: if you map it, you'll drive right by it. Look for the downtown Cafe Ficelle on Main across from Ventura HS and park. Then walk toward the Tattoo studio until you see an open door full of people and no visible signage. It truly is a Hidden Gem!

Very disappointing experience…read more We placed our order and paid through the restaurant's QR code ordering system. After some time, the owner came to our table and told us that another customer's order had somehow been charged to my credit card. She said she would cancel the transaction and asked us to place the order again. Naturally, I was concerned and asked for an explanation of how another customer's order could be charged to my card. Unfortunately, she repeatedly said she didn't know and offered no explanation or reassurance. Her attitude was dismissive and surprisingly unconcerned about what could have been a serious payment system issue. Because I was uncomfortable with the situation and the lack of transparency, I decided to cancel my order and leave. She simply said "OK" and showed little interest in addressing my concerns. Whether this was a system error or not, customers deserve a clear explanation when their credit card is involved in an unexpected transaction. The poor customer service and lack of concern left a very negative impression. I would be extremely cautious about using a credit card here in the future.
