Beverages are even better than milk tea shops! Highly recommend curry tonkatsu!The store manager & employees are so nice! A store worth visiting! 10/10 lovely restaurant
The chicken curry was really good! Really nice little Japanese place & the setting & decorations feel very authentic Japanese. The waitresses were lovely, super sweet & helpful. Will be back for sure! Edit : having returned, I HIGHLY recommend the chicken Torikatsu, it was so delicious & crispy.
Wonderful shop that screams eclectic & unique. It might be tough to fit a group larger than six in here fyi. Asian fusion is how they describe themselves & it's true. The menu is a collection of Japanese comfort food made by Chinese chefs. I had the katsu curry & it was ok. The curry could have been thicker & used a little more flavor but it was a nice warm meal on a cold evening. I would definitely come back & sample some of the other menu items.
Food has nothing special. The tomyum was very blend, but the wakame was a good idea. The curry tonkustu was fine. The curry was good but the fried chicken wasn't crispy. Toilet has a rat trap. Great service by waitress. Seating has no back support on the wall side
Stopped by this place for lunch & loved it. It has a nice intimate vibe with some nice decor. The menu is a nice little book with a lot of authentic Japanese menu items along with pictures. We got some gyoza, curry torikatsu & the regular torikatsu. The meat, rice, & vegetables blended so well together. I did prefer the meat of the regular torikatsu more than the curry one but it was close. It was also at a good price point. Highly recommend this place over a chain type fast food joint for lunch.
Neat little Japanese inspired restaurant but ultimately I think there are better places around. I found the portions a bit small for the same prices as ganadara or jako nearby. The okonomiyaki was 95% cabbage, & the meat wasn't even pork belly, this one was super disappointing for me. I ordered the dry curry & my wife ordered the Katsu curry. Our dishes were above average, but again, nothing incredible either.
I'm glad I tried it & I hope these kinds of places keep popping up & start open.
The restaurant is very small. The service is beyond amazing. The waitress is very observant & efficient. The food also tastes good. I had the pork gyoza, Japanese dry curry, & the black tea panna cotta. The Panna cotta is nice with a hint of sweetness. The price point is also very good.
