"I love mazemen! Wadaya is such a hit everytime. I always order the Tokyo Mazemen. The flavors are so good and the portion is pretty big."
"MoguMogu is always consistent with their taste. The Tokyo Mazemen and Curry Mazemen are our go to. We also get Sliced Pork Chashu (3 Pieces) everytime and it hits the spot. I would say it's more consistent than Menya Hanabi, and while I have had an issue in the past with wrong items, theyve always corrected it immediately."

"Pork Katsu Curry is tasty! The pork katsu is like a crispy pork chop; crunchy on the outside, boneless happiness inside! The medium spicy curry is like Mary Poppins, gentle, stern, and comes out of nowhere. I used it as a dipping sauce for everything. Potato Wrapped Shrimp (3 Pieces) was the best part. It's so beautifully made and yummy. It's like eating a shrimp sandwich wrapped in potatoes... Would eat again. Curry in the morning! Curry in the evening! Curry at suppertime!"
"My comparison would largely be to Coco Ichiban. I feel like this Chicken Katsu Curry was more flavorful, rice was perfectly sticky while not overcooked, and the katsu was nice and fresh and crispy. Probably the best curry I've had. Sausages are great too. Over all it felt maybe more traditional Japanese? But I've never been, so grain of salt and all that. I got enough for two meals, so I'm looking forward to reheating it tonight. Definitely ordering again sometime. I just miss Coco Ichiban's potato croquet!"

"Always clearly the best of choices, specials and consistent taste and quality. THE EXCEPTION is the Chilean Sea. Bass Kushiyaki. The portion of fish for the price is absurd. Don't miss going to this "newer" hot spot."
"Do not order the Bluefin Toro, Lobster, Salmon Bowl, a lot of rice and very thin slices of fish (4 slice salmon, 4 toro, and a tablespoon of minced lobster) - thinner than a standard sushi piece - it's ridiculous. For the price, it's a big rip off. Mind as well order sugar fish "trust me" for $34 bucks."

"Ive been looking for a good poke place nearby that has a lot of options and doesnt charge you extra for every additional topping or sauce flavor. Not only did here check both boxes, but their portions were quite large, and most importantly the food was delicious!! Fresh fish (I got salmon, ahi, and spicy tuna), all of my fave toppings (including corn, ginger, edamame, and all the crunchies), and no limit on sauces (I like to mix a few). I also got an Albacore Hand Roll which was a really great price for fresh fish and avocado in LA (for reference, great white in larchmont once charged me $6 just to add avo to my breakfast burrito - this cost less than that add on!). It only came with soy sauce which (as a sauce girl) would have been a little bland for my taste, but I just added some ponzu from my poke bowl to it and was quite happy! Will definitely be ordering from here again!"
"Best poke bowl ever I got a large bowl with extra protein and it was phenomenal I love me my fish so I had to get extra portion size for a large is a bit smaller than I thought but still so good. Pretty decent sized fish pieces aswell."
