We had lunch at this Japanese restaurant & overall had a good experience. The food was fresh, tasty, & nicely prepared. The fish was particularly good-fresh, with a nice texture & flavor. We also enjoyed the fried chicken, which was crispy on the outside & satisfying.

The service was nice & friendly. The staff were attentive & made the lunch experience pleasant without being overly formal. Everything came out in a reasonable amount of time, & we had no complaints about the service.

The main thing we noticed was the portion size. The portions were a little on the small side, especially if you are looking for a filling lunch. However, the prices are quite reasonable, so considering the cost, we can't really complain too much. That said, we would have appreciated just a little more food on the plate. A slightly larger portion would make the overall value even better.

Overall, this is a good option for a casual Japanese lunch. The food quality is good, the fish is fresh, the fried chicken is crispy, & the service is pleasant. We enjoyed our meal & would consider coming back, especially if we're looking for something reasonably priced & not too heavy for lunch.

To be frank, the food served there has the look of japanese food but isn't executed to the level of its cost (25ish after tax-tip) or asking price (closer to that of your usual underground mall footcourt or seveneleven/familymart reheated food when in japan). We sampled the gyudon, curry & katsu.

Curry: leans very indian, lacks the sweetness & thickness of japanese curry.

Katsu: the fried layer lacks fluff & crisp, soggy, separates easily from a dry unjuicy sorry piece of meat, sauce on it is generic.

Gyudon: tender yes, probably their better iteration, matches'yoshinoya'-level of quality but about average.

Is it fusion? perhaps. Is it well executed? arguable.

Service barely spends the time to present the food to you, just expects you to find your utensils & consume wtv arrives, however, a lot of work has been done on the atmosphere which looks very cool. They have a sprawling terasse that generates heavy stroller traffic from the daycare & human employee traffic congestions for those coming from the same building, a little apathetic if you ask me, but hey it's their ownership so I guess it's okay.

Therefore, there is some hope in the growing pains of the early days of the establishment despite opening a year later than its initial launch date.

It's just that there are about 2 other restaurants in the same neighborhood that provide superior products. Will try again probably in a few months to experience improvements.

Food is excellent. Great quality & very yummy stuff, I enjoyed it more than Neotokyo. Also amazing decor. However prices are a bit too high for the portions. Service was ok.
