All of the dry and wet seasonings for the fried chicken are amazing, but if you're getting a rice bowl , the BBQ sauce is the best option by far. Also, get the deviled avocado when it's in season!

I love the fried chicken pop up. I wish it was open more days in the week. My fav is the garlic miso chicken with the rice and salad side washed down with a nice frosty Sapporo . ❤️

Melissa Dagdagan

The garlic miso seasoning is amaze-balls! The Aburaya BBQ seasoning was good too; I preferred the dry seasoning.

Brian Strauss

Want the fried chicken in a lighter format? Try the killer Nanban Salad . Greens, fried chicken pieces, and a pile of pickled vegetable . I'm in heaven.

Ronan Flynn-Curran

The chicken is all good, and the side salads are all delicious too. I usually get the ramen bowl! Great food at very reasonable prices

If the line is out the door, you can order ahead online to save some time. Garlic miso is my favorite of all the seasonings.

Best fried chicken in Oakland. Garlic miso and sansho are fantastic. Always packed with long lines so come early.

Everything is good here! 4 piece chicken with the bbq and the dipping sauce on the side is something magical.

Awesome Japanese fried chicken ! Try the stone fruit hot sauce - so good

Charlene Naughton

The fried chicken was so delicious and the poke don was fresh and luscious!

Jacqueline L.

Good vibe and big portions , but chicken is undermarinated for the sides of the cuts. Sides are pretty bland, too.

Jon Pinto

The karaschi honey chicken was amazing!

This place is a ton of fun! And the garlic miso is for real. Get it.

Try the wasabi honey glazed chicken . Great zesty kick.

dry rub chickens are great (umami salt!) but there is no ice cream here.

The 8 piece chicken is such a good deal ????????

Frank Kim

If you order take out they won't look for you in the dining area, so we waited until I finally realized our food was just sitting there in the front.
