Izakaya Restaurants near Cypress, CA

“We went on Saturday before happy hr ended. K-pop! Good Day soju $8.Great service. Loved the comp popcorn. Food came fairly fast:beef yaki udon-- good balance of veggies, udon & beef (beef tasted old, tough, too).grilled chicken gizzard on a mound of veggies--required really strong teeth & jaws.yakitori variety & taste--decentMaybe better with pork-bacon & seafood options.First visit--meh date night dinner. Likely will be back with a group of drinking buddies (whom I've never gone out with). ;)“

“The vegan options aren't just plentiful but they also taste amazing. Blends of savory and sweet, crunchy and smooth. The service is also fantastic; they frequently bring out little extras to taste which is a lovely way to expand our palates. It is frequently very busy so show up early if you're not getting that out. Also, the kitchen extractor fans are insufficient; your clothes will smell like fried oil after dining in.Vegetarian options: The vegan Inferno Roll is my favorite but all of their vegan options are amazing. The vegan Hellfire ramen isn't really all that spicy if you have a high spice tolerance.“

“I love the food and service here. I like the Katsu Curry more than the Shabu Shabu one since it's more savory. The salad with salmon skin is also amazing and it is a good appetizer. I also ordered the Assorted Tempura but I don't really recommend it since it will be a bit too much to eat all the sides and finish your bowl, unless you go as a group because I struggled to finish my bowl after all the tempura filling my stomach and, you know, fried food fill it quick.Overall, probably the best Udon place I ever tried in OC.“

“A well-themed and delicious spot for ramen and sushi! I stopped by with some friends for dinner yesterday and had a a great experience here. The staff were friendly and it wasn't too crowded. We ordered several appetizers including the garlic edamame and chicken karaage. I ordered the truffle garlic ramen and my friends ordered the spicy miso ramen and tonkotsu ramen. Garlic Truffle Ramen 4/5 - The broth was rich and full of truffle flavor and the noodles were chewy and had good texture and absorbed the broth well. Plenty of bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, and bean sprouts were in the bowl. The egg was perfectly cooked. The chashu piece was good and tender but I was hoping for at least 2 pieces in my bowl. Chicken Karaage 4/5 - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Paired well with the sauce on the side. Garlic Edamame 5/5 - seasoned well with garlic flavor and the portion size was great and piping hot when it arrived. Salmon Truffle 4/5 - quite delicious and the flavors were well balanced between the truffle, ponzu sauce, and parmesan cheese. The micro greens added a good texture and each piece was rich but but not too overwhelming. Overall, we had a great meal and the ambience was chill and not too crowded. The art on the walls is pretty unique and adds to the overall ambience and I would definitely come back again. Check this spot out for delicious ramen if you are in the area!“

“I adore this place. You cannot just walk in as the door is locked, you have to be invited in. We made our reservations the day before as I was excited to find a new place I have not visited. The woman owner welcomed me inside this humble restaurant that felt like their home. We perused the hand written menu which was beautifully done. Everything seems so personal. We ordered the sashimi, avocado salad which is big enough to share for two. Then the izakaya, we ordered an assortment. Some I liked and a couple of the skewers were just OK. also ordered beef stew which was delicious and comforting. I would order this again. The hand roll uni was also satisfying. The ambiance felt homey yet exclusive.“
