This was my first visit and it was hands down one of the best experiences I have had so far in SD. Incredible food, incredible service, and a fantastic atmosphere. What a spot!! 110% going back to try everything on the menu.

Loved the tonkatsu curry, very flavorful and fragrant. Tender onions and carrots, and the tonkatsu was great. Recommend for late night, after a long day at work

My new favourite in mission hills!! Everything about this place is great!! Authentic, welcoming and delicious. It’s also fantastic value for money. I highly recommend.

Note - reservations not accepted, you have to put your name on the list and wait to be called. Recommend arriving early :)

Had to come due to reviews here,
Sunday night, kinda busy I can see, but I had to ask to refill water, I had to ask sides (sushi ginger/wasabi) I had even asked fresh wasabi they don’t have which gives me 0 standard of sushi,
Very minimal amount of everything with the price, they don’t even have options except basic tuna, yellowtail and salmon. For sushi place seriously?!

Additionally, the service left much to be desired. There was no apparent interest in ensuring a positive dining experience, with staff merely checking in to ask if we wanted more, which felt more like an effort to rush customers out than to provide genuine service.
Based on this visit, I would not return. While I did not encounter any major issues, the overall lack of attention and service left a negative impression

The whole thing was excellent. It's one of those hole in the wall places that's somehow packed, meaning people are talking about it. It's in the corner of the L shaped shopping center, look for the big paper lantern.

Cozy Izakaya with fast, delicious and quality dishes. Tried the teriyaki salmon - perfectly cooked and finished the meal with a super fresh pineapple sorbet- what’s not to love?
