Went here for dinner and had a chicken sandwich. I loved it and really enjoyed the sandwich. It’s a low frills restaurant where you order at the counter, get your own water and bus your own tables, but they do bring your food to your table. We ordered chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches, french fries and family chicken basket which comes with slaw salad, pickles, fries and 2 onigiri (rice balls) and dipping sauces. I really enjoyed everything and the dipping sauces are quite varied and gives the chicken different flavors. If you love fried chicken (karaage) Japanese style then this place is definitely worth a try.

A Japanese fried chicken that is airy and not bogged down with oil. Overall a pretty great fried chicken although some may complain that it carries a strong chicken flavor. I do wish it came with a few more pickles, 2 pickles is not much of a side. Pickles were also not marinated very long, they were a bit more like sour cucumbers. The beet salad was a bit small. The egg drop soup was filling and hot!

There was barely anyone there since it was a Wednesday evening. The staff here are nice. Food took about 15-20 minutes to come out. They have a water dispenser on the right side of the cashier. They have cute seating booths and one long table for larger parties.

A great fast-casual option in The Row, Pikunico worth the journey to find it. The parking is free for the first two hours, and it feels like food you’d find at a picnic.

Despite being known for Karage, I actually haven’t tried the chicken. But I found out that these guys have curry rice bowl, which I’m a big fan of. All and all, it’s definitely a favorite of mine and they certainly make good curry and rice. It’s a little pricey ($15 for the curry bowl) but I would most definitely come back here again on a lunch visit during work

I saw this restaurant on Worth It and have been meaning to come here for years. The wait was well worth it. This is hands down the best fried chicken sandwich I have ever had. It’s clear the thought and love that was put into the sandwich, the combination of flavors was absolutely delightful.

I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon after eating at Pizzeria Bianco and ordered the chicken and ginger rice bowl and miso de leche cookie to go. They’re really good. The rice is really flavorful and I don’t think I’ve had better chicken and ginger rice. The lady is really nice and friendly and the service was quick and professional. Will definitely recommend this to anyone and will come back myself.

Delicious fried chicken. We had the sandwich, tenders and yaki imo (Japanese sweet potatoes). All were good but the sandwich was the best. The tenders come with dipping sauces (aioli, sesame and sweet). The place is pretty small but was not busy on a Sunday for lunch. Would definitely return.

The sandwich is the one you should try first, everything else is rather a fanciful version of a Yoshinoya with a bland cooked chicken breast in the bowl dishes that’s not even cleaned properly before cooking to cut rough/chewy ligaments. Rice is soaked in salty sauces that are common with a slight hint of ginger and pickled (canned?) jalapeño pepper and pickled radish. The ginger chicken bowl was an absolute disappointment for $15. There was nothing in it that was worth more than $5-8, the rest is hipster marketing by squashing all your favorite words together “organic, free range, no antibiotics, specially cooked this way or that way and ….(insert more BS)”. You’re not fooling me, if jonathan gold was alive he wouldn’t review anything but the sandwich probably just to be nice.
