Okonomi was really delicious and filling, so I'm surprised it was just my friend and me along with a couple others getting food to-go. People need to try this place more!! I wish it was closer to where I live so I could stop by more often for fresh, tasty food for a good price. My friend and I stopped by sometime last week for dinner. We were able to place our orders at the kiosk, and the food was ready within 10 minutes. Some ingredients were already prepared in advance, but the proteins are grilled fresh to order.
BUILD YOUR OWN BOWL: LEMONGRASS CHICKEN - 13.50
+ jasmine rice, sriracha mayo, chopped lettuce, do chua (Vietnamese pickled carrots and daikon), corn salsa, garlic chips, crushed peanuts
+2 for HAWAIIAN MAC SCOOP
The bowl was huge and the food was filled to the brim. I ended up saving half of it for lunch the next day. The lemongrass chicken was citrusy and savory, which went well with all the toppings I added. It really was the best part of the bowl with its deep, grilled flavor and umami. The do chua added some acidity and brightness, sriracha mayo added some spice and creaminess. The corn salsa provided a good texture. The Hawaiian mac scoop was more creamy than it was cheesy and my favorite part of the bowl after the chicken. I would definitely add the mac scoop to any bowl in the future. I do think there's more rice than I needed, but I also eat more toppings than rice.
Absolutely delicious. I would recommend stopping by for sure. If I lived closer, I would be a regular because it's better than other fast-casual options that we have in Arlington/DC.
