Fukada

Fukada is truly a gem and one of my favorite places to eat ever! I always get their noodle combination - I get the Hot Tanuki Udon with the Spicy Tuna Don and it HITS EVERY TIMEEEE. Their mixed tempura appetizer is delicious too, and comes with an assortment of veggie tempura, shrimp tempura, and a piece of fried fish (so good!). It can get pretty busy during the lunch rush, but their kitchen is really fast and efficient so you won't be waiting long. If you're on a time crunch, I suggest calling ahead and placing your order for pick up.The staff is always super nice, patient, and helpful. It's also a smaller restaurant but they have some seating inside and tables you can use outside.Can't wait to get this for lunch again soon!

I LOVVEEE FUKADA! As a girlie who loves Japanese food but wants options, Fukada is the way to go. Their combos are so worth as you get to choose two different items: a noodle and a rice bowl. I really love the spicy tuna bowl for the rice option, and both the soba/udon noodles are good! It's so much food for a great value and is healthy as well. They do takeout only and you can do phone order to get your order in ahead of time. You can also dine in but I love taking this to go and enjoying it with my friends!

i recommend calling in over the phone & placing an order because this place can get packed & you could end up waiting about 30 minutes to get your food!i love going here before 2pm for their lunch combo! i get a hot udon with half & half both sansai (veggies) & tanuki (tempura) and it comes with a rice bowl and i pay the extra +$1 for spicy tuna don & then i ask for a side of sriracha to dip!!there's plenty of seats inside and outside the store to eat!a meal under $20, very worth it! love this place

Solid Japanese restaurant with quick service and easy takeout option. Soba was good but could be more flavorful broth. Tuna donburi was very good. Would pass on the chicken appetizer

Simple menu - you get exactly what you see on the menu / order. I got a lunch noodle combo with hot udon and unagi rice bowl. Food is good but not enough to wow me to return, I think. Maybe I need to try something else on the menu.They are low staffed right now so everything is a to-go order (order at the counter) but they do allow you to sit and each at their tables inside and outside! There is also self serve iced water and hot tea in the front. Staff was friendly when I ordered from them so service is good as much as I experienced it!

Went in on a friday around 11:45 and the place was full with many people waiting for their orders. The wait was about 30 mins to get our food. The menu like others have mentioned is pretty simple. I got the tanuki udon and spicy tuna don combo. The tanuki udon was good and the spicy tuna don was alright. It was not that spicy and wasn't insanely impressive. Overall good and filling meal. Would come back if someone suggested it!

I've loved Fukada since I was little, and their food is very consistent! Their udon is definitely one of my favorites, the noodles are very chewy and the soup is delicious! I know they do it to be hygienic, but I don't prefer all the plastic waste as of post-covid :( It makes the food not as hot. Regardless, still a tasty spot!

Came into Fukada for their lunch special. You have to order at the counter and they give you the food as takeout but you have the option of sitting down inside or out if you please. The lunch special comes with many options. I opted for the hot soba noodles with the tempura and egg donburi. The broth was very comforting and hit the spot as a warm broth on a rainy day. I tried my friends cold soba noodles and they were amazing as well with the wasabi. The noodles were fresh and had a perfect chew to it. We had the katsu and tempura donburi with egg. It was made with a light, sweet soy sauce which was delicious. They cooked the tempura and katsu with the egg so if you are looking for a crunch do not order it with the egg. This was a quick and delightful meal all for 16 dollars. Could barely finish half of the food so it is so worth the price. Will be coming back when I am near the Irvine spectrum mall again!

I'm honestly so excited to come back and try more! My first experience here completely blew me away, and I can't wait to see what the next item has in store

Great bang for your buck. The lunch combo included a noodle dish and rich dish for roughly $15. There's menu print outs at the entrance and you order first and seat yourself. There's self serve water at the entrance as well. The food came out relatively fast and fresh. They brought it out all packaged for to-go but we sat down and ate there. It gets packed here quick for lunch and they are onto open until 2 pm.
