LA Area | Student & Worker's Canteen! Great Value & Delicious Food 🍱

This spot in Fullerton near CSUF is basically every student's second dining hall~~ Affordable prices, tons of options, and consistently good flavors. The vibe feels like a retro Japanese izakaya! 🏮✨ Came here with friends for a casual gathering and ordered a table full of shareable dishes - everything was tasty: 【Bento Box】 Choose 2-3 main dishes! I picked takoyaki, Korean beef, and teriyaki chicken. Comes with rice, miso soup, and salad - huge portions! The chicken was tender with rich sauce, beef slightly sweet but not cloying, and the takoyaki with bonito flakes was a nice touch~ 🐙🍚 【Negitoro Don + Uni】 Super Japanese-style! Minced toro with scallions and uni. Wrap it in seaweed for a melt-in-your-mouth umami bomb. 🍣💥 【Tokyo Roll】 Inside: spicy tuna & cucumber. Outside: spicy albacore, avocado & crispy onions. Sauces: spicy yuzu + eel sauce + spicy mayo - bold but balanced! 🌶️🥑 【Baked Scallop California Roll】 California roll base topped with baked scallops (lightly charred) and mentaiko + eel sauce. Served hot - so satisfying! 🔥🍥 【King Crab Bites】 Crispy base piled with fresh crab meat. Clean flavors, perfect for sharing. 🦀✨ 【Salmon Tartare】 Finely chopped salmon mixed with sauce, served with crackers. Light and refreshing starter. 🍣🍪 【Spicy Lemon Octopus Leg】 Crispy outside, tender inside, with a tangy-spicy sauce - memorable! 🐙🔥 The decor is vintage Japanese: old movie posters, red lanterns, license plates - very photogenic! 📸🎎 They often have roll deals too! This time it was "buy one, get the second half off." Best part? No rush - perfect for lingering over your meal. 🕰️💛 #WeekendVibes #LALife #LAEats #CozyIzakaya #FoodieAdventures #HiddenGems #GlobalFoodie
