Tokiwaya

Got lucky and there was street parking right in front. It is a walk up counter; there were a few people ahead of me but the line moved fast. Ordered a veggie bento with goyah, karaage bento and andaagi. Everything reminded me of living in Okinawa, it was very good. My husband was happy to have good goyah champuru in the bento since it isn’t so common here.

Not sure if their restaurant is open right now but you can find their delicious bento and andagi every Tuesday afternoon at the Kaiser HS farmers market. Don’t let the long line discourage you - you’ll want to get that andagi and sweet potato mochi. Don’t fill up on that, though - the bentos are a great deal. I got one packed with a shrimp roll, potato croquettes, chicken karaage, and side veggies for $7. Vendors don’t usually get the same location every week, so just look for his table - and the line!

Love this little shop of goodness! I was looking for quick bentos and Yelp, of course, came through with a suggestion to check out Teruya’s. We ordered bentos over the phone and picked them up. While there, we couldn’t resist the freshly made andagi! You mustn’t leave here without an andagi or two! As for our delish bentos, hubby and I got a Karaage Chicken bento and a Shrimp Tempura bento. Both were under $7 which is such a great price for a great lunch that hit the spot. This is a must-try spot if you are in the area!
