Amazing katsu. Everything we ordered was tasty. The cheese katsu has no meat (but still good). I don’t think the extra curry sauce is worth the price. Overall, I would come back

Chicken and pork katsu were super tender – especially the pork. The curry is an extra add on which was okay. The takoyaki and soft shell crab was delicious. I wish they gave bigger portions for the crab

One of the best tonkatsu I have ever eaten. The pork is juicy, fatty, and perfectly fried. The miso soup is tasty with bits of tofu and seaweed. Scan the menu on your phone and order through your phone.

New tonkatsu place, which is great since there aren’t too many specialty restaurants like this around here. It’s still soft opening as of this review, so service isn’t the fastest, but they’re giving a 20% discount as well. I ordered the pork loin katsu set and I was pretty happy with it. They definitely tenderize the meat, so it’s nice and soft. The sauce they give you comes with a little bowl of sesame seeds, which you’re supposed to grind while you wait. Once the good arrives, they add the sauce to the bowl and you mix up the sauce. It’s sweet and a little tangy, sticking very well to the katsu. Overall, very tasty food and I might return to try the other dishes too

Ordered take out from here. It’s not cheap, but the food tastes pretty authentic. We got the chicken katsu plate, oyakodon and Takoyaki. Will try the ramen next time

Three of us (two are Tokyo natives) had lunch there on a Saturday. Tonkatsu was THE BEST ever anywhere! Crunchy yet tender and moist. Very good addition to local options. Most of customer groups had at least one Asian-looking person so probably knowledgeable about this kind of food. A few groups had very small children who seemed very content and happy to eat there. Small place and filled up quickly when we were there at 11:45 am. We each had the Tonkatsu set plus tea at a total cost of $74 including tip. Not a fancy place but very clean and modern. Order by scan to site or in person with waiter. Parking in lot in front of store. There will be lines of customers here so go soon!

Came here with my family for dinner. Ordered edamame, gyoza, and katsu tenderloin, and ramen for the adults. Kids enjoyed the tonkatsu ramen and rice, mixed with some miso soup. Everything was delicious and quick. Highly recommended and will return!

Good quality Katsu, crispy and juicy. The gyoza were just okay and way overpriced at $10 for 6pc. Prices are a bit high and takeout orders take a while. It would be fine if they quoted accurately but they said 20-30 when it took 50. Will definitely go back.

This used to be Sushi Nori, gosh I miss that place, and they’ve done a really great job upgrading the interior to being more upscale. I’ve eaten here twice and the first time I got the katsu and the second time I got the ramen. I think both were solid but I would rate them probably closer to an A- for the katsu and a B- for the ramen. The spicy ramen was way too salty for me and the broth was just okay as far as texture and flavorfulness. The katsu is probably where they shine, hence given the name, and it was crispy with good flavor. I’m not sure I’d come again and overall I rated the food more like a 3.5 but the ambiance was pretty decent.

Very satisfied with the menu items. 98% authentic katsu, curry needed more depth. Ramen broth good, noodles good, it needed additional texture from the chashu as it was presented very thin sliced. Missing was the beer, sake or shochu which provides the palette with added sensory.
