ℳ𝒶𝓎♍October 30, 2015The iconic strawberry croissant has put this Japanese-French bakery on the map and made it one of the best bakeries in OC. Other famous pasteries include the Azuki cream, Cream pan & Walnut croissantUpvote10Downvote
Ailie ChangNovember 11, 2017This place is no joke, it sells out everyday! Strawberry croissants live up to the hype. Curry katsu was delish! Love that you can stop here and get both.Upvote10Downvote
Michael FourreFebruary 12, 2017They're famous for strawberry croissants. Azuki creams are good too, and if you like red bean get a donut with red bean filling. MmmUpvote3Downvote- Vinh PhamJune 10, 2017First visit? Try the strawberry croissant. Strawberries are fresh and sweet, and the croissant is perfectly buttery and flaky.

BommyAugust 27, 2018Long line around 9am on a saturday. While they're known for the strawberry croissants, don't skip out on the red bean doughnuts.

The only authentic Japanese bakery in Orange County. Try their cream pan with coffee, sandwiches for lunch, or buy a loaf of bread to take home.Upvote8Downvote
Babak VZMarch 28, 2023Pastries are really great. Just right amount of sweetness in different varieties of pastries. Will definitely go back.UpvoteDownvote

Ryan ChangJuly 30, 2018I love their strawberry croissants, tuna sushi, and curry chicken bread!Upvote1Downvote
You have to try their chocolate orange dessert. There's a reason they only make a certain amount. The combination of the two is mind blowing once you take a bite. Chocolate and orange is the new duoUpvote2Downvote- HomeySeptember 25, 2015Very good Japanese pastries. Gets too busy on weekends. I suggest pre-order if you want their pastries for your special occasion.UpvoteDownvote

Strawberry croissants are a must! Can’t go wrong with any of their pastries. Expect long lines in the mornings.UpvoteDownvote- Sheila SentnerJune 6, 2012The multigrain bread is a meal in itself, as is the walnut bread. The french epi is perfect. The strawberry and custard(?) croissant is scrumptious too!!!!

Usually come for the strawberry croissants but always leave with SO much more. Everything is delicious and should be tried.UpvoteDownvote
Cynthia ViolinSenseiApril 18, 20145 star Japanese Bakery. Better get there before the senior citizens down the street beat you to it in the morning. Makes me homesick for Japan.Upvote2Downvote
I haven't had a thing here I didn't like. Strawberry croissants and cream pan are favorites.UpvoteDownvote
Definitely you must try strawberry croissants!! And sandwiches are also goodUpvoteDownvote- Popular items can sell out quickly, so call ahead and reserve anything you have your heart set on before heading over.UpvoteDownvote
Akiko IOctober 22, 2013Strawberry & banana croissant!! Other stuff taste good, too. Very Japanese pastry. Cheap, too. Great!UpvoteDownvote- The chicken and pork cutlet curry for $5 ROCKS! Sweet and spicy authentic Japanese taste! GO FOR IT!!!UpvoteDownvote
Strawberry croissant is the main reason to come here, but there are other goodies worth chowing down on (salmon onigiri, curry pan...)UpvoteDownvote

Gabe AbaudOctober 10, 2016Place is super chaotic. Very few people in the bakery and they made my group go through an arbitrary line. I was asked by 3 different employees "what do you want?" In the 30 seconds from arriving.UpvoteDownvote
The walnut bread is awesome, especially if you get it around 8am, fresh from the oven!UpvoteDownvote
First MainMarch 25, 2010The walnut bread and croissants are amazing here. Enjoy to-go lunches including Japanese favorites like egg salad sandwich and napolitan spaghetti.UpvoteDownvote
