Un comptoir japonais sans prétention, idéal pour attraper un repas chaud, rapide & réconfortant en plein centre-ville.

Les incontournables au menu
Katsudon : Porc pâné croustillant nappé d'oeuf mijoté & de sauce sucrée-salée sur lit de riz chaud. C'est le plat signature par excellence.
Gyudon : Tranches fines de boeuf & d'oignons mijotées dans un bouillon dashi doux, parfait pour les petites faims réconfortantes.
Chicken Karaage Don : Poulet frit à la japonaise, mariné au gingembre & au soja, particulièrement croustillant.
Points forts
Service ultra-rapide, idéal avant un spectacle ou pendant une pause dîner express.
Portions copieuses avec un juste équilibre entre viande, sauce & riz.
Prix très abordables sous la barre des 20 $.

Nice cozy fusion Asian restaurant. You can find quite a variety: tom yum soup, miso soup, popcorn chicken, gyoza, okonomiyaki, gyudon, tonkatsu, etc. We opted for the gyudon & tonkatsu. It was excellent. Service is good & prices are very reasonable.

I really liked this place! Although it was a bit small, I enjoyed the vibe & the server was nice. We waited a little while, but the food was worth it! I took the chicken torikatsu (15$ before tax) : crispy, flavourful & delicious! It lacked a bit in vegetables & the rice portion was a bit too much for me but it's worth going!

What a hidden gem. This is one of my favourite spots downtown, best bang for your buck. I love this place so much, I wish I could partner with them & do all their marketing & design & just help them in any way they can. They deserve the praise & attention. EVERYTHING here is delicious. But my absolute go to favourites are the Citrus Chicken & Chicken Thai Basil Chicken. Every time I introduce a friend to this place, they lose their mind.

What's incredible is that I don't have a single picture of their food. I'm someone that ALWAYS takes pictures of my food before eating it, but I realize, after years & years of coming here, I can't find a single picture of their food because I can't help myself from eating it all right away as soon as i get it 😂

Don't sleep on this place!!!

Perfect if you are on a budget & want a meal that is filling! Definitely try out the chicken cutlet curry & the fried chicken. It is crispy, satisfying bite to it while also being juicy & tender.

Very good food at a fair price, a very underrated dish is the Chicken Thai basil. It is slightly cramped but its part of the charm. The picture below is chashu don.

One of my boyfriend & I's favorite spots for a simple & cozy dinner date. I always take the gyu don because the marinated meat is so delicious. The popcorn chicken is also a must.
Their meals are very consistent & the service is always so friendly! (Which is exactly why I never hesitate to come back :)) Keep up the good work!
