10. Pick Up Stix
Reviewed By SJSharkFan
We don't have this chain where I live but wish we did. We eat a lot of Panda Express but this is much better (and a little more expensive but worth it.) Favorite dish was Mongolian Beef. Tucked behind some other strip mall businesses it's a bit hard to find. Would visit again when in the area for this quality Asian fast food.
9. Genkiyaki
Reviewed By Hoben01
This place seems like a japanese fusion place. Besides the typical teriyaki rice bowls in chicken and beef they have two interesting items the death taco and zombie taco. A coworker ordered the death taco and he had to sign a waiver i believe it was a medical release. Anyways i watched him take one small bite and he began sweating thruout the entire meal and gulped down a 32oz coke that still didn't remove the burning sensation

Great food! I order the pad de aw with chicken. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys Thai noodles. Also you have the option of substituting chicken with beef. I like there jar cups so coo! You must try there Thai tea, cold and refreshing when you want a pick me up.

The Korean bbq itself makes for a great time together with any family or group. But GEN brings it one step above the others with their service, atmosphere, and of course food! Whether it's family, or co workers, it fits the bill for food, fun, and togetherness.

I would say that the food is Asian inspired and there are healthy choices on the menu and also very large entrées and small sides. They also have an extensive cocktail menu and the Decour is very nice inside. Good for families and good for romantic dinner and also a night out with the girls
5. Mamma's Sushi

Family-owned neighborhood sushi spot with great daily specials. Variety of rolls and sashimi. I'm not a beer drinker, but they seem to have quite a selection. Very casual; friendly wait staff; family friendly; food comes up quickly; the portions are generous but not over the top. You can take out or dine in. Sushi bar, tables, or booths. There are a couple of large screen televisions over the sushi bar with whatever game is on. Loud-ish music. As for the food, I think the rolls are better than the dinner specials, but I always order both because I like to take some home for lunch the next day. The dinner comes with miso soup (average flavor), green salad, steamed rice, potato salad, and whatever entree you ordered. I like the tempura with chicken teriyaki and California roll. My favorite roll is the "sexy girl." It has tempura fried shrimp with jalapeño, mango, and cream cheese rolled in rice and sprinkled with crunchies. It might sound strange, but the combination is delicious. There is nothing fancy about Mamma's. It's basically a great place for an inexpensive meal with friends or family. Because it's family friendly, super casual, and kind of loud, I would not go for a romantic meal. It's very clean. Restrooms are very clean. Wheelchair accessible.

We hadn't eaten here for several years; often choosing closer, more convenient "fast food" Japanese restaurants or a higher end Japanese restaurant in Irvine instead.The outside and inside have been re-painted. the decor seems cultural. Tokyo Hibachi is indeed in between the fast food/low flavor and the expensive/fru fru restaurants. I had the King Sushi plate; fish was fresh with decent portions and decent price. chicken teriyaki at our table was cooked to order. tableware is not plastic and service was attentive (room was 2/3 full) and food arrived without delay.We will go back again, and not wait so long until we return!

I always like the food here there's chicken teriyaki white rice slaw white meat dark meat chicken selections and salmon. Only four stars because sometimes the meat is a little suspect in some fatty attachments on the chicken. Also has spam rolls for my Hawaiian and Polynesian friends and they love it

We were greeted by a nice young man who seated us quickly upstairs. the restaurant jhas two levels with many booths and tables available. Very nice ambiance and noise level was moderate. The server acknowledged us immediately and asked us for our drink order. This Thai restaurant has a very large menu. It was very hard to decide what to order. The server was very helpful on helping us choose an appetizer and entree. The choices he suggested were absolutely delicious.I have not eaten at many Thai restaurants, so this turned out to be quite a treat. The food looked great on the plate and the server explained the ingredients. The prices were very reasonable. Looking forward to going back and trying other appetizers and entrees.

Came here with friends for dinner. Located in a small strip mall close to LB airport.The front of the location is on the north side so we literally drove past the place because the backside faces the street. Small place but the service was good and the fish was really fresh. We ordered the edamame, sashimi, and a few specialty rolls. Everything was delicious. Will definitely be back.
