Great waitlist system . Yummy food and large portions . The hot tea is really good. Side udon is a good size and the noodles are tasty. Very short waits for tables of 2!
They offer TEISHOKU which is typical Japanese combination plate. And it's good. "Nanban" is the must!
Authentic Japanese "teishoku " style (a main + a few traditional sides.) The katsudon and BBQ unagi were amazing. Drink-wise, try out the Sake flight to find your favorite!
Tonkatsu set tastes just like in Japan! Great pork texture and flavor, roasted sesame salad dressing a surprise plus! Also has warabimochi for dessert +++ ????
Best Katsu meal in town . Great portions plus you ask for your meal from a tablet . Very efficient.
the hitsumabushi tasted 10x better because it came with an instructions placard ^o^
We were very impressed with this place. The tablet ordering system worked well and the food was delicious and perfectly portioned!
Chicken Nanban is the best! inexpensive but good quality "Teishoku "! No tip needed.
For neba-neba lovers, try the donburi w/ salmon , okra , tororo, natto & ontama!
Service and quality of the food served here is above average and very delicious!
Sukiyaki and katsu 's are nomnom YUM!!
Sukiyaki set was great!
Love the omaze don!
Sukiyaki and salmon sashimi
Oyako ju was just okay.
Very data driven ordering system . Bet they track employee performance down to the second. Dehumanizing, but so efficient!
