  • Crispy, Thick Katsu & Authentic Japanese Curry

    The owner coats succulent, tender chicken and pork cutlets in a light, delicate batter fried to crisp perfection, served alongside rich, deeply seasoned Japanese curry.

    The meat is very thick and juicy, and the flour is so thin and crispy.

  • Homestyle Savory Donburi & Okonomiyaki

    Traditional favorites like freshly grilled okonomiyaki and savory donburi bowls are crafted with balanced sauces and authentic ingredients that mirror dining in Japan.

    I ordered katsu & donburi, both tasting awesome 🤤 the meat was tender & crispy. Wasn’t cheap, but the taste is worth the price.
