About

La Cochinita Japanese Food Factory in Chula Vista fuses Japanese teriyaki technique with South Bay border-town sensibility at 671 Broadway, building plates around a proprietary Nomuniso sauce. The Nomuraki bowl — grilled chicken, beef, and squid topped with sesame, minced jalapeño, green onion, and Nomuniso sauce over steamed rice — represents the kitchen's signature protein-stacking format, a composed-plate approach to Japanese grill cooking distinct from the raw-seafood focus at T & M Seafood. Standard teriyaki plates offer chicken, beef, or combination options with rice and vegetables, while the Millennium upgrade adds shrimp and squid to the protein lineup. Minoru's — a single-protein teriyaki bowl — anchors the lighter end of the menu for solo diners seeking a quick Chula Vista lunch on the Broadway corridor. That Broadway positioning places the restaurant within the same commercial stretch where Mujer Divina Burrito & Coffee House runs its café-and-burrito program. The proprietary Nomuniso glaze — applied tableside over each grilled protein — combines soy, mirin, and a house-blend seasoning mix that distinguishes the kitchen's teriyaki from standard bottled-sauce operations.
