Great thick cut pork tonkatsu, very tender. Thin ones are also available. My first visit and was very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. We were seated in a booth with very traditional Japanese layout (see photo). It really adds to the experience.

This place serves truly authentic Japanese tonkatsu. The breading is exactly like in Japan. The mille-feuille tonkatsu and the tenderloin taste just like eating in Japan. The mazemen noodles are spot-on, almost identical to what you’d get in Nagasaki. Mixing the leftover sauce with white rice is perfect. Corkage is $18. This is definitely a must-visit. Even the miso soup is full of care

Wow! Would absolutely come here again.
They have very good quality wasabi and side dishes. The katsu is delicious and we also got their special sashimi bowl and unagi bowl. Top notch

Mixed bag. I ordered the Premium Fillet Katsu Gozen with curry, the Millefeuille Cheese Katsu Gozen, and uni pasta. The katsu itself looked great and tasted decent—definitely better than their downtown LA location (I later realized it’s the same chain under a different name). But the sides dragged the meal down: the rice was dry, the soup tasted like last night’s leftovers, and the curry came off like instant mix. The uni pasta was okay, though the sauce was too thick. Overall, the presentation impressed, but the balance wasn’t there—made me wonder if the main cook was out that day.
For context: since Curry House (DTLA) closed, I’ve been hunting for a good katsu-and-curry spot. Curry House was never the absolute best, but for the price it was unbeatable—high turnover kept the food consistent and fresh. This place doesn’t quite hit that mark.

Took 10 mins to have our order taken and it took 30 minutes for our sushi appetizer to come out. It’s sushi, you don’t even have to cook it. The food is decent but there’s much better in the area for much cheaper. No reason to go to this restaurant except for their bar.

Messed up the first order, did make it right on second. Katsu was delicious, and I will come back again to try new stuff.

The tonkatsu was excellent, probably the best I’ve had in LA. Unfortunately, I got a stomach bug after eating. Not sure if it was just bad luck or something related to the food, but it definitely affected the experience.

First time, read the reviews, & ordered the katsu and the curry. LOVED it all! Pork was tender and airy. Curry was subtle and balanced. All sides including the soup & salad were simple and fresh tasting. We ate all of it with delight and agreed this was the best katsu we’ve ever had! You must make reservations though and the parking lot was full, but we found parking spaces very close by on the side street. Nice contemporary decor. Great for a family outing or date night.

This place has delicious tonkatsu and curry! We had the Mille feuille cutlet and the Kurobuta loin, very different but both tasty

It's a very famous restaurant in Torrence. I recommend millefeuille katau, uni pasta, and uni cream risotto. I recommend collar!

Came here on a spur and it didn’t disappoint. The service was great and friendly. The food was surprisingly really good. The atmosphere was really nice. Loved the decor. One side was like a bar and the other was family dining. They also have a great dessert selection also.
