A little slice of Japan in Kearny Mesa. The restaurant is cozy but not cramped. The service was very attentive and quick. The tonkatsu tasted like I was transported to Japan. The pricing is reasonable. The biggest surprise was the curry. It was super flavorful with just a hint of heat, exceptional. This place is a serious treat. If you are craving authentic Japanese tonkatsu this is the place to get your fix.
Overrated and not worth the wait. Recommend making a reservation if you want to go here since the walk in waitlist takes at least an hour and NOT worth the wait. Service is mixed. One server is really good and nice but the other is uninterested in working hard and unfriendly. The Katsu Don is not authentic—the katsu should be cooked with the egg but it is cooked separately and simply placed on top of the egg and rice. Not recommended if you are looking for the real thing.
This place is great. Sure you might have to wait 45 minutes if you're a walk in but the food is good. Service is good. Katsu, seared wagyu nigiri, broccoli with cheezymayo, agedashi tofu and sake flight, all good.
