The food is amazing and they have pictures of every item when you scan the QR code. So if you are not used to this type of food this is a great place to come and know what you're getting. Very friendly and welcoming to westerns like me.

Good food made fresh to order at a casual restaurant with nice staff. A bit pricey though.

Excellent service, great vibes, and delicious katsu!

The katsu is so juicy and crispy and, in my case, cheesy! It really took me back to Korea and Japan! The miso soup was tasty, the pickles were delicious, and the katsu sauce was superb. My ONLY disappointment was the curry sauce, it just did not have a good taste to me and almost too bitter.

But I'd love to return for more katsu!

I wasn't expecting to eat the best donkatsu in my life on a random Thursday night. Service was nice and attentive. They were great with my two kids. Ambiance was simple and comforting.

If you suspect it is raw, don’t eat it!!! The photos show the part that looked pink and tasted a bit raw. I took a small bite and didn’t eat them and even so, my stomach starts feeling weird. They say it was normal and offer to recook, but it takes another 20 mins. Anyways, I won’t go back agin. Food taste good if not raw, and nice decoration. But be aware if you think it’s raw

Tried the Spicy Miso Ramen. The broth was rich and the noodles were nice and chewy. Although, the portion seemed a bit smaller end for the price.

Please note they use QR codes as a menu. So you have to scan the code and order on your phone.

The interior is very cute and clean. The staff are friendly. Overall, a good experience.

Delicious! I’ve waited awhile to eat here and it did not disappoint. With the kids on summer break, we wanted to try someplace new. So glad we have this jewel of a restaurant in South Pas!

Great new Japanese Katsu place in South Pas. The corn was superb. The Pork Loin Katsu is top notch. Big wave of Thai run Japanese restaurants worldwide. This ranks high up there. We’re new fans. The only crit is needs better music. Not sure about the video game J-pop.

If you’re looking for authentic Japanese-style katsu rather than the typical pork cutlet, this place is the best. The price and flavor are excellent, and there’s even free parking. We had the corn ribs as an appetizer—they were absolutely delicious. It’s also convenient that you can view photos of the menu and order ahead on your phone. Overall, the taste, seasoning, and portion sizes are just right. The restaurant is clean, and the overall experience was top-notch. Highly recommended!
