I went to Kaiba, which is a spacious restaurant with easy parking. The location is convenient, and the prices are reasonable, making it a nice place to have a meal with a decent menu selection. Their sushi burrito is tasty and comes in a very good portion size. It's worth trying if you want something a bit bigger than regular sushi rolls. However, I have to say that their salmon sashimi at Kaiba was very disappointing. The slices were too thin and didn't taste like top-quality nor even standard version of salmon. The texture was also sticky, which wasn't enjoyable. Another issue was that their rolls at Kaiba tasted very similar due to too much sauce. So, when we ordered different types of rolls, they all ended up tasting alike, which was a letdown. On the positive side, the service at Kaiba was great. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the dining experience enjoyable. If you're local and looking for a place with decent prices, a variety of options, and good service, Kaiba could work for you. It's also a good spot for large groups or taking kids after sports activities. However, if you're a sushi lover or just passing through Anaheim, I'd suggest considering other options with better sushi quality. Overall, my experience at Kaiba was alright, and I might return for a casual lunch or hanging out with friends. But if you're a sushi fan, you might want to try elsewhere. Note: Tastes vary, so it's best to try it for yourself at Kaiba to see how you like it. Happy eating!

My friends and I loved our experience at Kaiba! The staff was so attentive and we had excellent service. Here are some of the great highlights about this place and our experience. For appetizers, we first noticed that the gyoza was probably prepared fresh because it had that natural sear and fried look. It was not overly greasy and did not look like it was thawed and fried from something prepackaged. It was super tasty and a great appetizer. My friends also loved the spicy tuna on crispy rice and rated that it was slightly better than a different restaurant. In addition, our ramen was taken out quick and my Tonkostu Ramen tasted amazing. It was a bigger portion than I expected. I couldn’t finish my special roll after. Finally, we loved the value of everything we ordered. We spent $116 for a party of 4 with 3 appetizers, tempura vegetables, 3 ramen, 4 sushi rolls, beef plate, and 2 rounds of drinks. $8.99 for a pitcher of beer and $1.99 sake enough for 3 is such great pricing. After having such a great experience, I’d definitely return and would not be intimidated by ordering from the drive thru. I was definitely skeptical about having drive thru sushi, but this place prepares everything quick and fresh that makes it worthwhile!

Based on all the reviews I was excited to try this place out. Interesting menu choices from sushi, ramen, udon, salads, and burgers. We got the ramen, fried chicken, the free gyoza (via yelp checkin), and a caterpillar roll. The best thing was the roll. The ramen was ok, but seemed to be lacking something. The broth felt overly fatty. Fried chicken was also ok. And the gyoza was ugh. Right in the middle of our meal all the lights turned off. I thought we had a blackout for a moment when all of a sudden one of the waiters starts shaking a tambourine. Then party lights started flashing and the wait staff sang happy birthday to one of the customers. Once it was over all the lights came back on. Never seen such a show at any ramen place before. The building looks like it was an old Taco Bell. Complete with drive-through. The parking is ok but you have to watch out for the drive-through cars. No wifi is offered here. From the outside the place seems a bit shady. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive.

Had business in Anaheim, so looked up the top restaurant in Yelp and made a reservation there! I was a little surprised to see a drive-through option, but a lot of customers actually use that! On my way out that line was packed! With our reservation, we walked right in and had a table. They had a large variety of items, but it was cold so back to the trusty ramen! Note that you can switch out the protein in ramen to chicken or beef, but you have to pay $3 extra. The piping hot bowl of ramen came out quickly after, and it was delicious! The soft-boiled egg was perfectly cooked, the cha-shu meat was flavorful, the broth was rich, and the noodles (though thinner than expected) had good chewiness. A couple of people in my party ordered the sizzling plates, which I don't think I've seen in Japanese restaurants like this one, but they said it was very tasty as well! Definitely a good experience overall, will come back if I'm in the area again!

My wife and I love the foods here, it's one of the top Ramen and sushi restaurant in the area. There are lots of other closer sushi places but it's worth the extra 30mins drive from our place. The service is friendly most of the time. Would be 5 stars if the sashimi plates are more consistent. Sometimes it's super out of this world good (see picture), and sometimes they're a bit disappointing scraps of fish with the skin left on them and the pieces are smashed. For the price, it's just not right (will post pictures if it happens again, want to stay positive). I would order them everytime we dine there, but for that reason I'm afraid to because it ruins my whole dinner and experience there. Also miss the 99cents beer, now its twice that for a small mug. The Ramen and rolls are always looks good and they are delicious (5 stars). Oh and they have a drive thru, unheard of for a great sushi and Ramen restaurant.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but this place is unorganized. I was asked if I was ready to order and told the guy I didn't have a menu. He says "OK" and walkes away. He never brought the menu. Another waiter comes and asks if I'm ready to order. I tell him I told the other waiter I didn't have a menu. He directs me to the scan menu. I told him the other guy never mentioned it. I got 2 glasses of water that were both dirty. My food came out intermittently. Gratefully the food was good. The carpaccio had too many onions, but some people may like that. They cleared the table and I had to wait forever for my check. The staff, one in particular, is all over the place. She appears nosey and in the other waiters business. But I could be wrong. Maybe staffing is poor because of slim pickings in available staff lole so many other places. Sushi has always been relaxing. I won't come back here.
