This Japanese restaurant is the very best in Oceanside when it comes to casual comfort food. I particularly like their special combo with teriyaki chicken, fried noodles, gyoza, and shrimp tempura. All that for like $12 or so . Their udon and yakisoba are also great!

We’ve gone about 3 times now and every time, it’s always a hit! The calamari tempura is made fresh to order, so be prepared for the freshest calamari you’ve probably ever had!
