I've been here 3 times now to try different menu items and let be tell you that everything I ordered was delicious! It's nice to finally have something good and new in the area. This place should be a sit-down restaurant but the convince of a drive-through after a long commute is nice. The staff, managers and the VP are all very friendly and helpful with the menu. I hope they stay in the area we need more restaurants like this. They will be adding new items to the menu and it sounds like it will be a regular thing which I'm excited about. My two favorites so far are the Lomo saltido and the summer spritzer. The dish is so full of flavor and the drink light and refreshing. Highly recommend. Only thing I don't like is ordering from a kiosk.

We love coming here. The food is delicious and the personnel is very friendly. Our order is always correct. It’s nice to know that when I get home, everything will be perfect without having to check my order before leaving. The dining room is also very inviting and clean. Restrooms are also clean and stocked.

Wonderfully unique experience for the Woodcrest area. Hardly any Asian inspired food in this area and suddenly a high-quality yet fast service spot like this pops up. The owner and staff were all very welcoming and patiently explained dishes when asked, even offering samples of their entrees (which were all great btw). Super crispy, tangy Orange Chicken. The Huli Huli chicken was very tender thigh meat in big filets. Similarly, the Lomo Saltado was tender and juicy, balanced out with bright chunks of tomato. Even the fried rice had attention payed to it; no clumps of rice, each grain was separate and seasoned with a pleasant aromatic oil. Their brown sugar boba was refreshing and not too sweet. The bentos were at a price point that I was skeptical of at first but there was enough food for me to get full and save the rest for dinner, so I'd say it's worth it. Overall super impressed and will definitely seek this place out for after work take-out.

This is a a very underrated restaurant in the Van Buren stretch. Actually, a good place to have quick lunch or dinner at very reasonable price. I love coming here because not only the food is good but the staff are the friendliest. Also, the place is quiet and very clean. I truly recommend this place. The garlic chicken wings And Parmesan fries are top quality! The puddings are heavenly too !!!

Mythos Fusion is located on Van Buren Ave, in Riverside. Everything is cooked fresh and if you order the sample package, you'll get a taste of several different items...as I did. Easy in and out access, plenty of parking, great staff and affordable prices...overall 5 stars.

Fanciest & freshest fast food ever! Beautiful decor inside and delicious food! I can’t believe they even have a drive thru option! I had the Bento Signature C which was perfection - Huli huli chicken, Lomo saltado, fried rice, noodles, and veggies. The in-house sauces are amazing, especially the aji verde. This is a must try!

The garlic noodles paired with the orange chicken and pork ribs were absolutely amazing! I heard that the chef from NEP Cafe &panda express collaborated to create this menu, and it really shows in the flavors. The value for money is excellent—you can enjoy such delicious food without spending much. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious, this place is very refreshing for the area. I typically have to drive to moval to get good food. The concept is very unique and bold. Definitely a must have. The staff were very kinda and attentive. I had lomo Saltado, garlic noodles, garlic wings and fried rice. Also had their summertime refresher, pineapple and strawberry. Excellent! This place will become popular overnight once word gets out. So get it while you can without loooong lines!
