Juicy karaage, tasty Brussels sprouts, messily shareable spicy tuna handroll (comes folded like a taco), & a generous bowl of tonkatsu ramen with a delectably jammy egg.

Cozy atmosphere, not too busy on a weeknight evening, kind, polite & attentive servers.

Delivery: The tonkatsu ramen was delicious but delivered in a vertical container instead of the typical bowl shaped container from every other ramen place which was kind of annoying.
The chicken was very mediocre, not crispy at all, kinda plain, had a small bone in it, thankfully refunded by Uber Eats.
The unagi aburi oshi was also kinda tasteless. I usually love any unagi sushi but this was not worth it.
