Absolutely the best chicken katsu I’ve ever had. Nice big portions for a great price. It looked and smelled so good that I forgot to take a picture before I ate a bunch of it.

Really nice hole in the wall place for lunch. No frills, just good food and big portions. The barbecue chicken and the chicken katsu curry special were both amazing.

OMG the best Japanese style chicken I’ve ever had! It’s crispy but also not too dry. The ahi is the lady’s favourite but I feel so so.

If I could give zero stars, I would

We got the sautéed lamb plate which was DELICIOUS. So tender & flavorful. The rice was amazing as well as the salad. The lady, who I believe owns the place, was so sweet. If we weren’t leaving today, we’d be back!

Ahi and Chicken Katsu Don are 6 stars. Owner’s couldn’t be more friendly. Even kids will love this sweet food.

Best quick bite around. It is not cheap, but it also super yummy and inexpensive compare to other places in town. Chicken katsu is $13, the lamb combo $18, is some of the best lamb I had, I usually don’t like them. Rice is super good as well. Highly recommended.
