About: A hole in the wall restaurant in walking distance of San Diego State.

What to order: Chicken Katsu, Teriyaki Chicken plate, California roll, Rainbow Roll

More info: Very reasonably priced with great portions, this is one of the better Japanese places in the San Diego State area. This places seems like it is family run and has a good atmosphere.

Korean BBQ-Buga

Name: Buga Korean BBQ Restaurant

Cuisine: Korean, Japanese

Opinion: AMAZING

Area: Clairemont Mesa

About: My dad stumbled in this place before we moved here when he was staying at the Motel 6, (yes, it's practically connected to a Motel 6) he was so tired when they brought out the food raw he was very confused. We returned 6 years later and from my first bite I fell in love with this place. 

What to order: BBQ Combos (order according to the number of people) (Around $50 for two people)

More info: I cannot believe how many sides come with the BBQ combo, it is amazing, I still have no idea what I am eating but it's fun to be adventurous. You also get a salad, 2 soups, a plate of noodles, shrimp, pork, chicken, beef, 3 different kinds of sauces, and a few other items depending on the day. It does seem a little expensive but for all the stuff you get it is completely worth it, and you leave feeling stuffed. The meat comes out raw and is cooked in front of you, sometimes when it is not that busy the waitresses will move the meat and tell you when it's ready, if it's too busy, you are on your own!
