"We ate at lunch time. Service was quick. The food was delicious with great flavours. Salad was fresh and not over dressed. Katsu set and katsu donburi with side of takoyaki and agedashi tofu. Very filling."

"Really authentic, great prices,great flavour. Only advice is the Katsu lunch bowl process could be more efficient to make it easier and faster. I got a ramen instead and it was awesome. They have seating outside which is very unique and great on a nice day"
