I came here on my lunch break because it is so close to my workplace. I didn't intend to come here, so I had no expectations walking in. It was a spontaneous visit. : You walk in and order at the counter. Food: Like most places nowadays, Rustic Eatery lets you chose a style (sandwich, salad, rice bowl or plate , a protein, and a marinade. Since I was being basic, I decided to order a brown rice bowl with tri-tip roast in yakiniku marinade, and a side of small fries. I really enjoyed the yakiniku marinade because it provided the tri-tip roast with flavor, and there was no residual sauce on the rice bowl, which is something I like. The tri-tip roast was lean and flavorful, like I mentioned bef...
Rustic Eatery is definitely one of my favorite places to eat in SCV! You can either order a sandwich, salad, rice bowl, or a plate. They have a variety of protein options. You can choose a beef (tri-tip roast, ribeye- shabu or prime cut , chicken (breast/thigh , pork (grilled pork belly, fried tenderloin cutlet, shrimp, or tofu. In addition, they also have fresh scottish salmon and pork bulgogi! They have plenty of options for marinade: naked (hawaiian sea salt or fresh ground pepper , spicy (sweet and spicy red chile , and yakinuki (sweet soy sauce . Lastly, their specialties include fries (potato or sweet potatoes , soup or salad. My personal favorite is their grilled pork belly as a prote...
This place was awesome and super simple to order. It's divided into 3 choices. First choice is to pick either salad, bowl, sandwich, or plate. Second choice is your protein-choose beef, pork, chicken, seafood, or tofu. Third choice is your seasoning- Salt and pepper, a sweet and sour, or a teriyaki type of sauce. Love the fact that I didn't have to looked through pages upon pages of food choices being overwhelmed and changing my mind again and again. The portion were large and everything tasted super fresh and healthy. I had the ribeye plate which came with brown rice, veggies, a salad, and sliced ribeye. The rice was fluffy, the veggies were crispy and not over cooked, and the salad was a s...
We had lunch for our first visit here today. The wife and I both went with the Prime Cut Ribeye Plates; with brown rice, fresh vegetables, salad with a lemon vinaigrette, roasted corn on the cob, and a slice of bread with butter included. The only difference in our orders were the choices of marinades. While Jackie chose the sweet soy sauce on the side, I had the sweet spicy red chile, very tasty. Service is very casual but friendly; order at the counter then wait for your number to be called. Everything was extremely fresh, with the beef being tender and succulent and veggies straight from the market, not frozen. The grilled corn on the cob was out of this world! I wasn't too crazy about th...

I wanted to give this place 3.5 stars, but alas... Hubby and I stopped here for a quick lunch on our way from Fresno to LA. It is easy access off the freeway and better than the standard fast food restaurant. I ordered a rice bowl with Shabu cut ribeye and yakiniku sauce. Hubby ordered the same except with the red chili sauce. Both sauces were very tasty. The beef was cooked nicely, and I did not get any chewy or gristly pieces. The bowl had steamed veggies carrots, broccoli and onions. The bowls were $10.95 each. The menu does not have prices, so not sure if everything is the same price. Overall, a decent lunch.
If you 're hungry, consider ordering the plate with your choice of protein and comes with a generous amount of rice (white or brown), vegetables, corn on the cob, bread and artisan style oil vinaigrette salad with grapes, small cherry tomatoes, sliced almonds and seasoned croutons. For the less voracious, try a salad or rice bowl to get a similar delicious flavor experience. The tropical iced tea seems to be a nice compliment. Rustic Eatery has stood the test of time being in business 5+ years. The quality is just as good and prices have stayed relatively flat as I remember when it opened years ago.
I have eaten at Rustic Eatery a few times for lunch. I ordered the Ribeye Shabu Cut bowl, with sweet soy sauce, every time. The bowl comes with meat, lots of rice, and cooked vegetables. The food is freshly prepared, the ingredients taste of quality, and service is rapid. I really enjoyed the sweet-salty flavor of the sweet soy sauce with the tender cuts of Ribeye. The Ribeye and sweet soy sauce blended nicely with the rice, and the vegetables served to balance out the palate. For a few dollars more than comparable establishments, customers can obtain a superior meal in terms of quality.
You can't go wrong with the food here. I got the chicken sandwich with the spicy sauce and it was made perfect. Do not expect your food to be delivered to you right away as it is made to order so you know you are getting fresh food. The service is great as we were helped right away. The line did get pretty big but they were fast to move it. We were acknowledged and helped tight away.

Super fresh and full of flavor! I went with the prime rib and made it spicy at the recommendation of the staff. I am so glad I came hear the food was off the charts. Even the rice had good flavor, fresh and had some seasoning that was the perfect mix. Let's put it this way, my son asked to go back that night...
I returned here yesterday ... This time had the rice bowl with brown rice a tofu... once again.. did not disappoint. Plentiful and tasty... if they still have the homemade chocolate chip cookies... try at least one... a perfect way to top off a meal!
