Finally made it to Irvine's super popular Japanese

Here’s what we tried based on friends’ recommendations👇🏼 🥗 Beef Carpaccio The beef was incredibly tender, paired with tangy and fresh arugula—such a refreshing starter! 😋🌿 Have you ever tried beef carpaccio? What’s your favorite way to enjoy it? 🦐 Koji Butter Shrimp The shrimp texture was just okay—not super springy—but the seasoning was pretty nice! 🧈🍤 What’s your go-to shrimp dish? 🍕 Mentaiko Pizza The crust was perfectly crispy, soft, and chewy! The edges were airy yet crisp, and the melted cheese paired with mentaiko cream sauce, seaweed, squid, and corn was delicious without being heavy. Definitely worth trying! 🍕💫 Are you a thin-crust or thick-crust pizza person? 🍝 Uni Pasta The sea urchin was sweet and fresh, but the pasta felt a bit too rich for me—I could still taste the creaminess hours later! 😅🍜 How do you feel about creamy pasta? 🍨 Forgot the Name of This Roll A crispy outer layer wrapped around pistachio cream and crushed pistachios. It was good, but I think it would be even better with ice cream inside! 🍦😊 What’s your favorite dessert with a crunchy texture? 🧁 Tiramisu Pretty average—honestly, I think Whole Foods’ tiramisu tastes better! ☕️😬 Where have you had the best tiramisu? Overall, great value for money, and the decor is fresh and stylish! 📸✨ If you go on weekends, better make a reservation—otherwise, be prepared to wait! 🗓️💭 📍 16129 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 #EatWithConfidence #LADiningGuide #LARestaurantFinds #LAFood #LAFoodie #ItalianCuisine #BrunchRecommendation #FusionFood #Pizza #IrvineEats #JapaneseItalianFusion #FoodReview #MustTry #NoRegrets #FoodieApproved #TrySomethingNew
