Inexpensive & Delicious! This Izakaya in West Covina is the Real Deal!

Just found out my favorite Japanese spot has a branch near my house! Immediately made plans with friends to check it out. 😋 🦀 King Crab Bites My absolute favorite! A must-order every time—real crab meat, not imitation crab sticks! 🍄 King Mushroom Steak This mushroom blew my mind on the first bite! Super juicy, buttery, and packed with umami. The sauce is incredible too!! Highly, highly recommend!!! ⚡️ Kani Crab Stick Deep-fried crab stick—a fun, crispy, savory snack. Perfect munchies while chatting! 💥 Shrimp & Veggie Tempura Light, crispy batter—not oily at all. Even better with dipping sauce! 🍗 Sesame Chicken Classic Japanese-style Karaage: crispy outside, juicy inside. 🦑 Calamari Rings & Fried Baby Octopus I always order fried squid/octopus! (Also a big fan of Trader Joe’s frozen calamari rings 👀) 🌶️ Sweet Pork Ribs Slightly spicy, sweet-and-sour ribs—kinda like American-Chinese style. Really appetizing! 🍔 Hamburg Steak Sweet mushroom-onion sauce + juicy patty + runny egg = ultimate comfort food. Tastes like a really good “kid meal” in the best way 😂 🫛 Spicy Garlic Edamame & Garlic Green Bean You know those sides you always order “just because”? Yeah, these. 🫑 Shishito Pepper Mild, flavorful Japanese peppers. Great with drinks! 🍜 Chicken Cutlet Ramen Got the spiciest level—broth was still rich and flavorful. Noodles had great texture too! 🍲 Ribeye Sukiyaki Don’t underestimate this hot pot! Savory-sweet broth, tender beef, mushrooms, and tofu—so good. 🍣 Truffle Hunter Roll & Baja California Roll So many roll options it was hard to choose! The truffle one was aromatic and almost carpaccio-like with onion shreds. The Baja had a spicy Mexican twist—I liked it!
