Great spot for Japanese food. We particularly liked the Zaru Soba and the Chicken Katsu Curry. Prices were more expensive than the menu pictures here on Google Maps, so I've contributed the current menu with prices that we paid for as of June, 2024.
Parking: Parking lot is small and has limited spaces that it shares with other places in the strip mall, like Goodwill.

New Management and the new owner, Toshiro knows what he's doing. Strong kitchen staff/team focusing on quality. VERY nice people. Food is 1000x better than the previous iteration. I've been a regular for 2 years now and the food wasn't bad before, it was just good Japanese food. Now, it's GREAT, Japan influenced focused on quality and taste, mom and pop style comfort food you would find in smaller cities or neighborhoods.
Their Karaage chicken is prepared just like in Japan (order it), that cucumber salad is deliciously crunchy with a hint of a thicker (but light on taste) amber colored vinegar and the seaweed at the bottom is refreshing combo of taste and texture (order it). The tonkotsu ramen, wow... saves me from driving to Little Tokyo! This ramen is perfectly cooked. Chewy, al dente noodles swimming in a creamy umami-filled pork broth. Broth was temperature hot too, just like in Tokyo (order it).
I ordered an extra cucumber salad to go because it's THAT good and the spicy tuna. Last food note, but the most important one, the rice is beyond heaven, each grain perfect, not sticky or pasty. Being born+raised in Hawaii... you gotta know how to cook perfect rice.
We'll be back more frequently now... This is a gem of a restaurant, reinvented beautifully, serving up delicious japanese food. Thank you Toshi and your wait staff, so generous and kind. ?

The Carrie is the worst, Water down, no vegetable hardly any taste just very soupy for the price they charge. This is probably a highest paying Dish because there’s nothing in it.

Awful nonexistent service. the server never came to us. I had to go to counter and this place was empty at dinner time!! food took forever and there is a sense here that nobody cares at all about you. what an awful experience.Update. 30min later. NO Food!! thye didnt even start. Im late for my kids swim class. Service is deplorable

Love the Ramen bowls here, so good. Full of ingredients, noodles, and flavor. Large bowls that fill you up, very satisfying, delicious, and comforting. The goyozu and California rolls were good too. Happiness ??

Fantastic! Japanese home cooking. Great prices and portion size. Comforting food. Good vegetarian options as well. The veggie croquets were very special and delicious, they complimented the curry. Thank you very much. We will definitely be returning.
This is my favorite local restaurant. The food is so comforting and tasty. The staff are so sweet. The service is friendly and quick. I'm on a mission to try everything on the menu!It's not a complete week until I've had Keitaro's for at least one meal. Highly recommend!!!
Finally found a place that serves Menchi Katsu. Will be back to try the rest of the menu. Small place with a wide variety of Japanese dishes. Curries, ramen, sushi and noodles.
