The sweetest Japanese couple runs this place! Only four tables and they cook right at the counter. Strongly recommend the katsudon, everybody at my table ordered a second portion to take home

I think the whole set with miso soup was 14.25$

Reminded me of mom's Japanese food. Very lowkey, nothing too surprising. Honestly, felt like eating from a time capsule of the past. Felt like a very Somerville small restaurant vibes. I paid $26 for this.

Felt like being transported to Japan! The lady and man who own and run the restaurant are kind and do their best to care for us and all the customers! They have the best Japanese food I’ve had in America, and I loved their sukiyaki beef, pork katsudon, and chicken katsu curry! The complementary green tea was tasty as well and greatly appreciated!

Love this little Japanese family eatery!

The atmosphere is so friendly and feels like being fed yummy food by lovely Japanese family.

The Tempura is fresh and delicious! The presentation is also really beautiful and just like shown on the picture!

The lady was very nice to give us two bowls of miso soup since I was going to share a combo meal with my kid.

This place is a wonderful diner that feeds you yummy food with great attention and care! I will come back and strongly recommend!!

I recently decided to try pork katsu curry at as many restaurants as possible in the Boston area to try to find who has the best one. It’s this place. I previously ordered takeout here a few times during the pandemic, and it was consistently good back then and still is now. This is a small family owned business. Don’t expect the fastest service or modern decor. Just come for the incredible, simple yet delicious, home cooked style Japanese meals. You won’t be disappointed.
