A co-worker and I stopped by this place in Pacific Beach one warm afternoon for lunch. Walked in, read the paper menu that was available while standing in line, payed the register worker, and sat down in a cafeteria style table, with a bit of Japanese decor. Food came in a short 5 minutes, extremely hot (temperature wise) so we new it had been made fresh. I ordered a tempura chicken soup of sorts, and it was delicious. Since the first time, we've been back for many lunches, and they never seem to disappoint.
