KANOJO — Restaurant in Madera

I’m giving full five stars because this restaurant is extremely new and I can see the potential already! The food was very yummy! We ordered the original kcorn dogs and they didn’t disappoint! The spefic day we came in, there were technical difficulties within the kitchen so there was a wait. (Completely understandable, especially for a new restaurant) And even so, they gifted us with a plate on the house to make the moment right. Which was also amazing! My ONLY piece of advice is that, because you guys are a small building, costumers can INDEED hear what you say when on the floor. And under the pressure of stress of getting into the rhythm of things, yall definitely… communicated that to each other 😂 which made things a little tense in there. Atmosphere is everything! I personally found it a little entertaining during my wait, but it might just make others uneasy or uncomfortable. So just a heads up!! You guys are a team after all. Teamwork makes the dream work! Besides everything, I can’t wait to come back...

Tried after watching a food review on the news. The business is advertised as “Korean Japanese” I tried the bulgogi bowl and the katsu bowl. To my surprise, both entrees lacked flavor. The bulgogi was very disappointing. Having lived in Korea, I have familiar palette for authentic Korean bulgogi, however this did not hit the mark, or even come close. It lacked the flavor, the meat was tuff and basically dull. Maybe someone who is not familiar with bulgogi and what it’s supposed to taste like, might find the entree appealing. But it is definitely not Korean style bulgogi. The katsu was sub par, the entree was masked by the sauce and even the sauces were dull. The Gyoza filling also lacked flavor and seasoning. The best part of my meal was the cucumber salad, which was actually very good! Maybe the Hero of the business is their corn dogs. If I make it back, I’ll be...

I had the BEST experience here today. My wife and I ordered two potato Korean corn dogs, chicken teriyaki fries, and gyoza to go. First off, my food was ready exactly when they said it would be - they were packing it in a to-go bag. Incredibly important to me because the food was HOT when i got home. The service was great, the employee at the register was friendly and absolutely willing to explain some things on the menu I hadn’t had in the past. The fry on the corn dogs was perfect, the potatoes were delicious, and the sauces complemented everything they were on. The chicken teriyaki fries are amazing, I LOVED the seasoning on the actual fries and could be a meal on their own. Great service and great food. I will update this review in the future with pictures - I’ll definitely be back to try the Cheeto dog and the chicken...
