Habuya Okinawan Dining@Tustin ★★★

Okinawan Izakaya. New favorite. Came back to try new dish Yamaimo Mentaiko Cheese Yaki. Delicious at first bite but maybe too much cheese. Yaki Tebichi (Stewed Pork Feet) was amazing. Pork Cutlet Curry was great. Okinawan Soba was like ramen, and it was great as well. Reasonable price. All dishes were delicious & authentic. Counter seating table is a bit small & crowded if ordering a lot of dishes. Plates were big. Table limited to 90 minutes during busy times. Cute ambience w/ Okinawan music vibe. Hot tea $3.50. 15% service check already pre-calculated on the check. 15 minutes away from Disneyland (via Freeway) Join waitlist on Yelp within 5 miles. Full party must be here to be seated.

Yaki Tebichi (Stewed Pork Feet) $12.80

Tebichi (Pork Feet) Soba $17.50

Okinawan Soba Noodles

Grilled Sea Bass $28 (monthly price)
