There is an izakaya in Tustin that resembles a traditional Japanese grill/pub. It has an authentic atmosphere, run by Japanese owners, and decorated with various Japanese decorations. The restaurant offers bar seating, table seating, and a tatami room. They serve Kirin on tap and a selection of other alcoholic drinks. The menu is extensive, offering a variety of Japanese dishes except for curry. The highlight of the menu is the yakitori, where you can select skewers from a paper menu similar to a sushi menu. The downside is that there is usually a wait for a table, but the restaurant is open until 1am. Customers can put their names on a waiting list and be called when a table is available. I...
This restaurant has great prices, fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and a relaxing atmosphere. It has been at the top of my list for the past 2 years. The tatami floor seating adds to the unique experience, and the menu offers a variety of options beyond the typical teriyaki and sushi. In addition to their delicious grill menu and constantly changing specials, Honda-Ya also has a wide selection of drinks and tasty desserts. This is the perfect place to take a date and impress them with your good taste without breaking the bank.
After putting our name on the waiting list, we were initially told the wait would be around 60-80 minutes. However, we ended up waiting for nearly 2 hours. Despite the long wait, the staff was friendly and courteous, and the food was delicious. Our orders were served promptly after placing them. We highly recommend trying the fresh oysters, which were priced at $8.50 for three large oysters. If not for the extended waiting time, we would have given this restaurant a perfect 5-star rating.
My wife and I had a great time dining at this restaurant. I really enjoyed my fish and chips, which was both delicious and generous in portion size. My wife's fish skewer was also a fantastic choice. While there was nothing particularly remarkable about the dining experience, the food was delicious and offered good value for money. We were impressed by the kosher chefs who prepared our meals from scratch, and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

We had high expectations for this restaurant after hearing great things about it. We decided to try the fish and fish tacos. While the portions were generous, the food lacked flavor. After seeing other patrons enjoying their meals, we may give this place another chance. The couple at the table next to us had kebabs that looked tempting.
I tried chicken and pork belly yakitori, and they were amazing. I also tried gyoza, which were good but had a bit too much cabbage in my opinion. I'd go back to get yakitori again.
good reason sashimi not fresh bathroom service, how really bad the spits we have ordered when it is sold out, no one has told us and some spits from which they have forgotten.
every time I want to drink and eat good food with friends, this place is always the vibe I mean, yakitori with the will is always fun. I recommend sitting.

if I had a word to describe the eating, it would be meh . the shoyu ramen, men mochi, kabocha, and some yakitori pieces ended the show.
Great great great selection, price point and authenticity
