“Joon Shabu Restaurant is a hidden gem! Their lunch special is an amazing value, offering high-quality ingredients at an affordable price. We opted for the Large lunch combo. The service is top-notch - our server was attentive and friendly.

The meat is sliced thinly to perfection, and the variety of options is great. We loved being able to customize the broth to our taste, which added to the overall experience. The restaurant has plenty of seating, making it easy to get a table even on busy days.

Overall, Joon Shabu Restaurant is a must-try for Shabu lovers. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and generous portions makes it a standout in the area. We'll definitely be back!“

“a true gem. there are no frills here and the sushi speaks for itself. I have never had to wait for a table and the service is direct, and courteous. they provide incredible ginger that they will refill throughout your meal, so go crazy, it’s addictive. and the wasabi. freshly grated, sweet, fluffy, this is the real deal.
my favorites are the sweet shrimp, the uni served with hokkaido and santa barbara side by side, the halibut, and red snapper. but it’s all very very good.
every time i am seated, the waiter reminds me, no special roll, no california roll, and I couldn’t be happier.“

“I have enjoyed yakis to varying degrees for many years. It's been a staple and usually the food is fairly good. Thier teriyaki sauce is what takes it to a better place. If you like spicy, you can also try thier Bravo sauce which has a spicy cilantro kick to it. I enjoy my bowl with a scoop of thier potato salad. Also, if you want a little something sweet, the yakisito fits the bill. It's tapioca pudding in a egg roll wrapper.I only ever take my food to go, as the shop itself is not so comfy. Also service can be a bit off at times, especially if they're busy and English communication can occasionally be an issue. Overall though, give it a try
if you want some pretty good teriyaki in our area.“

“Omg this place is awesome! It is a perfect blend of simplicity, flavors and service. There's only one other place that I can remember, the tonkostu ramen being so rich and creamy not salty and that was in Washington DC. We also get the spicy crunchy tuna roll and that was excellent. I think the best restaurants make you want to make the trip back to enjoy them again, I'm coming back!“

“Kopan is a great spot for your Japanese fix. Although I typically like my ramen separate from my sushi, this may be an exception. The ramen broth was creamy and rich and full of flavor. The egg was perfectly cooked, but the ‘super spicy’ was lacking a good spicy kick. The sushi was good, but not quite “fine” sushi, but they had plenty of options and creative rolls to choose from. Their crispy rice appetizer is also amazing. All the staff were very friendly and always smiling. This is a great spot to come with friends for a nice casual meal.“

Spicy Tuna Bowl

“Very tasty salmon poke here!! The fish quality is top notch. The avacado, rice, crab, and seaweed salad are all great. They have a ton of poke options (pre-designed, and design your own). Tons of other menu options. Wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price, but still good. Ginger and wasabi are tasty, and should be requested (complimentary upon request). They make the bowls to order in the back…so it does take a bit longer than other poke bar/chiptole style spots. But worth the wait! Very tasty, and high quality! In the vons parking lot. Some indoor seating. Highly recommend the salmon poke! This is our go to spot!“
