Good Japanese Fried Chicken. Although more sauce would've made them better. When I asked for more sauce, they wanted to charge $1. I reminded them that I just paid $2o for lunch, so they gave me just soy sauce. WTH?!!The salad and potatoes in the bento box are not good. The mash potatoes were cold and probably came from a box. Gross. The cole slaw was just cabbage with a cherry tomato, poor dressing. The fries were okay,The chicken is good, but everything else is not.2.5 starsParking: Cramped, shared, crowded parking lot. I had to park across the street
Need to offer condiments, the karaage is good but to be honest we can't just have spicy mayo for an extra dollar?♂️.

I had the most amazing kimchi fried rice here today. The portion was super generous for the price of $12, and their chicken was so flavorful. I was able to have this dish for about two rounds of leftovers too! The staff at the front were quite warm and the food was made in about 10-15 minutes. The vibe inside is really cute, too. They have hanging plants all throughout, and they have lots of sunlight inside. Can't wait to try something else next time.

The kaarage here was delicious! The service was great. The hostess was extremely nice. Food tasted fresh and wasn’t over breaded like a lot of places. Would definitely recommend.

So yummy! I loved this place. Nice balanced comfort meal. Small cozy shop. Service was good, and the restaurant was clean. Didn't check the bathrooms. I can't wait to come back! Probably my favorite fried chicken.

The food is delicious and plentiful. I ordered a chicken breast bento box that came with lots of chicken, rice, salad, and mashed potatoes. The food came out quickly and was fresh. I don't totally understand the potatoes, but they were good. I don't like that you have to pay extra for dipping sauces, but you do get a lot of sauce when ordered. The space is clean, but the tables are all bar height with small bar stools, so it isn't very comfortable to sit for a while.

First time trying this place via take out! I think it's safe to say I would come back. I tried their Chicken Karaage bowl, which came with a handful of chicken karaage, an egg, rice, spinach, and pickled raddish for I think about $15. The texture of the chicken was good, was juicy, and I liked the amount of breading. I do think it could use a little more sauce on top...just a little bit more. The seasoned egg wasn't as "seasoned" as I wanted it to be, but still okay. Overall, pretty filling lunch. I want to try their other flavors next time.
Cute little spot with delicious food. The Karaage Don was super flavorful. Will come back to try more of their dishes.

Brian's opinions
Very nice Karaage shop! Japanese-style fried chicken. I had the Mega Karamayo don and it was wonderful. Chicken had a nice crunch and it was perfectly seasoned with their spicy mayo sauce all on top of a bed of rice. They probably make their karaage a bit underseasoned so that it won't be overwhelming salty when you dip it in their sauces.Thigh meat (Momo in Japanese) is the go to as a Japanese so that's what I went for but I'm sure other parts of meat tastes good as well.Only thing I felt as a Japanese is that it's quite pricey for Karaage...but that's only because I know what I used to pay in Japan. Fairly priced, or if not I’d even say it's affordably priced for the quality!

Absolutely amazing Japanese Karaage!! Their sauces pair well with the chicken as well as their fried gizzards!!! Place is small and welcoming, they don't sell beer but I really recommending getting take out and enjoying a cold Sapporo at home for those weekends when you don't want to go party.

Overall: Such an amazing hole in the wall! I just stumbled around trying to get my car fixed and stumbled upon this place. Takes about 30 minute wait ( there was a line on Thursday afternoon) and it was a women and man running the whole show! I got the fried gizzards (for people who know, you either do it right or you do it wrong) and they did it amazing! I also got the don (rice bowl). I liked the flavors but my personal preference is having it more tightly done like in a bowl rather than separate on a plate! Amazing hidden gem!
