Amazing food for a amazing price!
Decent Portion sizes for the price.
Got the Tonkatsu & it was exceptional! Tasted like heaven in my mouth. A little cramped & slow but its fine(there was only one waiter).

The food is very reasonably priced & very tasty, like home cooked stuff. The service has always been great the multiple times I been & with every server! I love the Japanese beef curry one. Don't expect gourmet, but more of an easy comfort food. The place is very small/tight, but I never had an issue with that. Some things may not be'dirty' but have that very well used cluttered look/stain to them. The hanging cloth to the bathroom looks like it has been handed in an industrial setting. But I keep coming back because everything else is so positive.

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.

Have tried this place a couple of times now. It's a comfort food kind of place, casual & homey, a place you go with a couple of friends. Food tastes good, sizeable portions, for a very decent price. Seating is a bit small & uncomfortable, but manageable. Each time we walked in around at noon, there are seats available, but the place fills up fast by 1 PM. Service is friendly & attentive. Worth a try if you're in the neighbourhood.

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.
