We went on a Saturday dinner. & apparently they are very busy because there is no reservation system & there are only 8 tables for 2 people (they combined some for those who have more than 2). The waitresses are very kind & enthusiastic but we were told we have to wait for about 25 mins for someone to finish. Wasn't very long time. The food in general is great but some notes can be modified: the miso soup is a bit too salty (maybe due to they comes in a cup) & the Roku is a bit too hard but it is within tolerance. The problem is the wait time. From the time we sat down & the food arrive (not including the great tasting cream soup they gave us) is about 1 hr. Imean it ain't that bad but it could be improved in the future.

En tant que Japonais, je peux confirmer que la qualité est tout à fait authentique. J'ai commandé le katsu curry : j'ai été très satisfait de la portion généreuse de tonkatsu (servie sur deux niveaux), de la tendreté de la viande, ainsi que des saveurs riches & bien équilibrées entre le porc & le curry. & tout cela pour un prix très raisonnable.

J'aurais juste apprécié un peu plus de sauce curry. Par ailleurs, l'eau du robinet avait une odeur désagréable ; j'espère que le restaurant envisagera d'utiliser un filtre.

Our experience this time fell a little short of what we had read in the reviews, though we hope it was just an off day. The service was genuinely friendly & hospitable, & the portions were generous - the complimentary cream of mushroom soup was also a nice touch. We ordered the Teppan Hamburger Steak & the Katsu Curry Udon, but both dishes came out too heavily seasoned for our taste. The miso soup on the side was similarly over-seasoned, with the anchovy notes from the dashi stock overpowering the other components. My partner also got a stomachache after the katsu curry udon, which may have been a one-off, but it added to an overall mediocre experience unfortunately. We've had better katsu & Japanese steak elsewhere.

Une petite perle bien cachée. Nourriture délicieuse & portion généreuse.

The place can be pretty small so if it's a busy, prepare for a time to wait, & it's a bit congested, but that aside the food is really really good & has generous portions!

Was on the lookout for some katsu curry. Reviews looked promising, so I gave it a go. Was not disappointed, the food & service were top notch. I went for the rosu (pork) katsu curry & it was great! Highly recommend a visit.

A very cozy, homestyle Japanese restaurant located right inside Chinatown!

I ordered the Udon Hoshi Katsu & really appreciated how generous they are with the crispy cod katsu & scallop katsu.

However, I'm not entirely sure how well the guacamole pairs with the udon. I also wish they would serve the fried fish & scallop on the side, as the steam from the hot udon tends to soften the crispy crust of the katsu.

If they are going for a fusion angle, a citrus & rice pairing might work a bit better here rather than mixing it with the heavy katsu sauce.

That being said, it's a lovely spot & I'd definitely say come out to support this small business! I really hope to see them refine the dish & improve over time.

The food was quite solid tbh. Definitely the most tender pork katsu I had in MTL, & the sauces were pretty good too. On the negative sides, the breading was seriously wet on my cutlet which is a big disappointment, & there didn't seem to be any bathroom.
