Okidoki by Meiji

Our party of 2 went at around 11:30am on a Sunday morning and there was thankfully no wait. Lots of parking lot spots available in the lot. It was our first time here and our server kindly answered our questions. The place is on the smaller side with only mostly 2 to 4 person tables. I can see how this place can get packed so I suggest making a reservation (if they allow) or coming early. For food we ordered the Shrimp Tempura to share ($11): freshly made, crunchy batter— it was delicious. Spicy Beef Udon ($21): absolutely loved this dish plus you can pay more to choose up to 3 levels of spice (extra $1.50 for each level). I love spicy food and opted for level 2 since it was my first time here and it was perfect for me. Served with the cheesy risotto ball meant to put in the soup after you’ve finished the noodles. It was the perfect dish after a night of drinking (haha). Wish I lived closer because I would definitely come back!

Seems like okay place to get your japanese/udon fix but otherwise, just okay for a premium price. Beef udon: Maybe? We went here and got a beef udon bowl to share. We got the upsize or extra noodles and it was actually not bad in terms of size for 2. The taste was just okay though. Not too flavorful or unique in any way. Since we shared I was okay with this because I just wanted a noodle fix lol Food: 6/10 Service: 7/10 Atmosphere: 6/10 Value: 5/10

Our first time yesterday. Looks like we found a new favorite takoyaki spot for us. Favorites are: Takoyaki Katsu Soba Curry Update: We’ve come back to try more. We will be coming often. 😋

I’ve been dining at Okidoki for years now and finally got around to writing a review. The restaurant is located in a plaza at the corner of Newport Avenue and Main Street across the street from the Tustin Library and City Hall. It’s located a few doors down from what used to be Soup Plantation (sniff, sniff, sob, sob). Okidoki’s menu serves up everything from appetizers, salads, side dishes, udon, soba, ramen, small rice bowls and sushi rolls to homemade desserts. On this visit we started with their fried chicken which was a light and crispy appetizer. Up next was the small salmon bowl which was both fresh and delicious. The only miss was the Nabeyaki Udon which to be honest was nothing special. If this is your go-to entree, I recommend going around the corner and trying it at Honda-Ya. Okidoki is a popular spot and seating is limited, so expect a wait if you’re visiting during peak hours!

Katsu Udon with curry sauce is thick and tasty. The pork chop is tender and not oily. Waiter is friendly and efficient. Price is reasonable.

We tried a little bit of everything—beef curry udon, pork shabu shabu, spicy beef udon, katsu curry udon, and to top it all off, the caramel flan. Let me tell you, the fresh udon noodles were next-level, and the broth flavors were on point! The flan? So moist and perfectly sweet. If you love udon or just want some comforting Japanese flavors, this spot is a must-try! 🍜🔥

First of all this place has a great customer service, they greet you as soon as you walk in and as soon as you walk out. Honestly it's kinda pricey but it's worth it. Very clean place and they have one of best spicy beef noodles soup out there. Try the rice ball in the soup and some good sushi. There used to have outdoor dining but o didn't see that anymore. Try their good selection of drinks and if you want something sweet they offer good diversity of teriyaki and bentos. They also have great desserts and ice cream. So if you're I'm town or just want to enjoy a good Japanese cuisine then this is the place.
