I adored this place!!! It’s in a food hall so the vibe was great with lots of flexibility and view of the skyline. The pier is also a a great third space.
The server was super helpful and gave my friend some extra sauces to try as well. Everything we got was a hit! I got the make it a meal (3 pieces of karage and a spicy tuna crispy rice) for around $20 with tax. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! Chicken was super flavorful, and the most crispy I’d ever had without being greasy. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was also really good and was overflowing since they gave me a good amount. Overall amazing spot for friends and a spin on Japanese food for a fair price and portion!

What I got and what they advertised was very different. Before I ordered, I asked the woman at the counter if the sandwich in the picture was the menu item I was ordering, and she confirmed, yes. Instead, I got something that was soggy, not spicy, and sad… on wonderbread. Skip this place.

Well, what can I say? We came here for a quick bite — my mom went for a small snack: a deep-fried rice triangle with shrimp. Unfortunately, it didn’t impress. The flavor was bland, and the portion tiny for what it cost.
My burger wasn’t much better. Edible, sure — but completely forgettable. No finesse, no standout elements, just something to fill the stomach.
Given that this is part of a food court with plenty of other options, it’s hard to justify coming back. The whole thing had a bit too much of that tourist-trap vibe. You’re better off looking one stall further.

The hot honey chicken karage sandwich is pretty pretty tasty. And the fries were like fresh McD fries.

Their foods surpassed my expectations. I expected fast food-grade quality, such as salty, greasy fried foods. No! They were actually, legitimately delicious. The fried rice was crispy and the scallops and shrimps on top with sauce amazingly enhanced each other’s flavor. The chicken karaage was crispy outside and tender inside, and moderately salty. I enjoyed dining near the water.

Not the Bessou I Remember
I used to love going to Bessou back in the day, so when I came across this location inside the market, I was excited to give it a try. I ordered my go-to dish — the karaage — along with a sushi rice bowl, but spending nearly $80 here turned out to be a huge mistake.
The karaage was incredibly disappointing. It was overcooked, almost burnt, and so dry and hard that it completely lacked the juicy tenderness karaage is known for.
The sushi rice bowl was even worse. It was loaded with daikon and pickled vegetables, with hardly any sashimi to speak of. What little sashimi there was tasted off — not fresh, with both the temperature and flavor being completely wrong. To top it off, they used smoked salmon instead of sashimi salmon, which made no sense and felt lazy for a dish like this. And the rice? Soggy and stale. It was honestly inedible. At that point, I would’ve been happier with a $15 poke bowl somewhere else.
It’s such a letdown to see how far the quality has fallen. Bessou used to be a place I truly loved, but this experience left me frustrated and disappointed. It’s disappointing to see a place I once loved lose what made it special.

(Update) Went there for dinner, grilled cabbage and smashed potatoes were so good, deviled eggs – not so much. Tan tan noddle was also good!
Cute Japanese spot, good for casual eating with friends. Tempura soba is really delicious, salmon burger was good too. Don’t miss out their fluffy pancake, me and my friend ordered it for dessert and worked out perfectly!

My cousin in law actually owns this place so I was super excited to go！I went when it was almost closed so it was pretty quiet and chill。The food was good but it was a lot so I didn’t really finish it lol

We finally got a table last week to visit Bessou again for their weekend brunch and the food was much better than the dinner menu in our opinions.
We tried their Banana Hot Cakes, Chicken Karaage, Japanese Curry Shakshuka and Wagyu Steak with fried eggs & a side of fries to share with a group of four. Everything was delicious especially the hot cake, which is puffy, soft and perfect with the homemade miso ice cream. The only complaint is the portion of ice cream was super small and was off-balanced with the huge hot cake.

Tried the $50 fixed menu. Overall pretty good. They did charge 21% gratuity for which I would say they didn’t pour sake frequently enough during the meal to deserve that. The fried chicken wings were abysmal, weakest item on that menu. I did like the trout and especially the salmon on the fried triangle shaped rice.
