Tenkatori Miramar

Dropped by this little shop while waiting for our daughter to finish her nartial arts class in Mira Mesa. The shop was very clean with a charming owner. Sh is very helpful in advising what to order. Since we were a little hungry and knew our daughter would be starving as well, we ended up ordering the party pack with an extra side of mash potatos. We waited for our food for about 10 minutes. The chicken was freshly fried and delicious. We chose the yuzu aoli, sweet and spicy, and spacy mayo sauces. Each sauce was great with the chicken. Mash potatos were creamy and delicious. Fries were tasty as well. Party pack was enough for 3 people with leftovers for my daughters lunch tomorrow. Budget friendly and a tasty place to eat.

Simple menu, decent price, no frills. We ordered a mixed karaage bento, karaage don, and side of fried gizzards and yuzu aioli. The bento and don are large portions. I recommend trying the yuzu aioli - it has a nice zing and a hint of a kicker. Karaage was tender inside and crispy outside, had a crunch with every bite. We ended up with leftovers.

A great dinning spot for a light meal. What looks like small portions is actually quit filling. This small place is the place I would eat lunch at every day if I worked near there. The food: the Korean fried chicken beats KFC in every category hands down. I got the Don which is fried chicken on top of rice with some veggies and an egg. I got mine with the fresh in house Spicy Mayo. The spice Mayo is so good here, it's practically a food group. The service was nice. The manager really shined and was truly concerned and focused on making sure every one got their order as fast as possible. The atmosphere is a a surfer beach house vibe? Very open and calming with surfer decor. Not sure what the correlation Japanese fried chicken has with surfing but maybe it's a thing. The do have high ta

The uncut chicken is a lot juicier than the chicken in the don. wish the don came with more veggies and radishes.

Karaage was light, moist and meaty. 😋 👍. I wish they were slightly more crispy. I had wasabi mayo which has been my go to sauce lately. However gizzards were a slight disappointment. It was oily not as light as karaage. Spicy Tenkatori don was ok. I would have liked less sauce and it wasn't spicy enough for me. I prefer the texture of thigh over tender. For both don dishes, the seasoned egg was just plain and came with only 2 pieces of picked radish. The cartilage was sold out which was a major bummer; I really enjoyed it last time. Gizzards were better this time making up for sold out cartilage somewhat.
