Hidden gem low key want to gatekeep haha. Best katsu I’ve ever had! (outside of Japan and Hawaii duh!) First of all they had you grind sesame yourself like traditional Japanese place. The aroma was slowly released and very pleasant also great way to pass the time.I got pork loin katsu it was beyond amazing so crispy yet so tender and juicy inside. I also loved the tiny fat bits here and there. Highlight was the katsu sauce that made every bite even more magical! it wasn’t...read full review
Best katsu outside of Japan I have ever had. This place is small but the food is definitely 5 star. The pork was think and moist and the outside fried to perfection. My new favorite restaurant.

Very nice little whole in the wall restaurant! Service is very attentive. For starters, I like ordering their edamame or takoyaki. Their chicken katsu with curry is my go to plate here because it's very filling with decent sized portions.
