“ Had a meal near UCI and randomly found a Japanese restaurant. The prices were very reasonable, and the food was great! Tried three types of sushi, and they were all delicious! Highly recommend the Volcano Baked Roll! Generously topped, with a warm, crispy layer on topamazing texture and flavor! Also loved the cucumber roll without riceit was super refreshing and light, perfect for a clean palate. They also offer bento boxes, which are perfect for solo diners. Options include fried chicken, pork cutlet, salmon, or beef, paired with rice, California roll, and vegetables. A balanced and satisfying choice for a solo meal. ”
