Hako
Tonkatsu restaurant
👍👍 The staff was so kind and delicious. Pork cutlet meat is soft and cheese pork cutlet is really good. Of course, the other pork cutlet was delicious and the sauce was good. The vegetables were fresh and the buckwheat soba I ordered was really delicious. I think I'll go often.

Jinbei
Japanese restaurant
👍👍 Super yummy place. Small on the inside so there is usually a wait. But the wait was not long at all. We came around 1 pm and they closed at 2pm. You just order and write down what you want and give them the paper so it’s easy. Food is good. Seaweed salad doesn’t have as much seaweed as I imagined it...

Kiyo Sushi & Sake
Japanese restaurant
😐 It’s not bad but not the best in town. You get spoiled after eating at oToro in Irvine. The rice used in sushi is not on par with Japanese rice used at oToro. It’s above average for sushi quality but not great. Not cheap but it’s expected in Irvine as rent is high here. For people who find average f...
