My wife and I needed a quick lunch fix, and the photos of kimbap caught our eye. The shopping center isn't much to look at, but the cafe is such a cute and charming place! We ordered a kimbap and a cup-bap, which appears to be their spin on a lunch plate with several sides. This is really a mom-and-pop shop in the best sense, like if your parents were cooking a cozy meal for you. They even sell instant ramen, and will prepare it and serve it up to you with a side of pickled radish. Wish I lived closer - we would definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: The cafe's atmosphere is very casual and family-friendly.

This is definitely a hidden gem! This place has amazing food. Family owned business. Very friendly. If you can’t wait then this isn’t for you. I prefer being served a fab meal (food) while waiting then having someone rush my food out, then your left with a bad taste if your not pleased with portions or the quality of food. “Pick your battles!” Enough with negative comments. Stop being little B?!$#S. I’ve been here 10x and will continue to support our local family owned business ? ??
Support your local mom and pop shops!During our lunch breaks, my sister and I visit and get our go-to favorites: donkatsu, fish cake soup and egg croissant sandwich.Consistently, the donkatsu has been SO delicious here. Portions are huge! It’s crispy, not oily and somehow creamy in the inside?? If you dine inside, you can get free side of fish cake soup. That plus the pickled radish sides (which comes free/with some entrees), it equally tastes fresh. It’s the littlest things they do that make the overall meal, service and atmosphere great.

The food is really good and affordable. I tried multiple dishes and all of them were delicious. It did take a while to get the food but it is a small business so that's understandable and was no issue to me. I will definitely come back and try new dishes ?

The kimbaps and cup bops are delish but the star of this place is easily their donkatsu! I drive out of my way to go to this place for it lol. The meat is super tender and the breading is so crispy. Love the sides and soup they give as well. Everything is fresh and made with care. I was also surprised by their strawberry lemonade, very refreshing.

Tasty food. Took a bit amount of time getting the food but it was good and portion was very generous. Small establishment in a quiet yet big shopping plaza. Plenty of parking.

I didn't want to post a review because this place is a hidden gem in Cerritos.There will be some waiting time because it's only the owner and his wife so I suggest calling ahead.
The food at this place was really good, but the service was a bit slow. Surprisingly, even when there were no other customers during lunchtime, it took a while for our meal to be ready. I can't help but wonder how much longer it would take if the restaurant were busy. However, the delicious food is worth trying, as long as you have some extra time to wait.
Great people serving great food! Anything you order off their menu will have you wanting to come back for more!! Check them out!!
