Delicious food and very kind service! Even though I'm sure my chopstick skills were hideous they treated me kindly like anyone would treat a guest in their own home. Will definitely be recommending to my friends and family!!
Incredible experience. The Tonkatsu, shrimp and cheese are amazing. Definitely worth the visit.
We order the tonkatsu set with pork, cheese, and shrimp tonkatsu. It includes a small miso soup, rice and cabbage salad. The service is excellent and the place is cozy and pretty with japanese music in the background.
The tonkatsu set was enough to share between 2 people.
