Love the food here! We ordered pork and chicken katsu and a karaage rice bowl. Everything was fresh and delicious. The takoyaki with big octopus pieces reminded me of Japan! We came back for their ramen to go, which arrived home perfectly (see picture). Not sure you can find another place in the area with 5-star ramen, 5-star katsu, and 5-star donburi. Our kids loved it too!
The food here is amazing. I have been ordering take-out for some time, but this time I tried ramen in house. So-so good. Their karaage and katsu are mouthwatering too. Basically, everything on the menu is delicious. I definitely recommend this place A LOT.
This looks small on the outside but it's mighty in the inside, highlighting the service and food! The food is straightforward and affordable. Large portions and delicious! Service is amazing and super attentive, food also comes out fairly fast.
Yakitame Bento & Katsu This meal delivers exactly what you hope for in a satisfying bento experience. The grilled yakitame slices are tender and flavorful, layered over steamed rice with just the right amount of glaze. The fried egg adds richness, while the pickled radish offers a crisp, tangy contrast. The miso soup is light and comforting, with fresh green onion for a subtle lift. Paired with a chilled peach Mogu Mogu, it’s a well-balanced combination that feels both hearty and refreshing. Presentation is simple but inviting, making it a solid choice for a casual lunch or dinner.
I started off with a seaweed salad and a chicken onigiri — and even with just those two simple dishes, I could already tell the food quality at this little gem of a restaurant was top-notch. Then came the spicy squid rice bowl… WOW. Absolutely delicious! The spice level was high, but the flavor was perfectly balanced and bold. The man at the front was super friendly and attentive, checking in often to make sure everything was just right. It’s clear they care about their customers and the food they serve. This place is awesome — I’d recommend it to anyone, and I’ll definitely be back soon!
