"Came here for dinner on a Monday night and there was no waiting. We had the pork loin tonkatsu and the pork tonkatsu curry. Both dishes were pretty good. Service was below average as they never checked on us and we needed to request drink refills. Parking is available in the strip mall."

"I ordered pork shoulder katsu and it is pretty good! The katsu is juicy and soft inside, and it is crispy and crunchy. Everything hits the point and makes a wonderful katsu plate! The environment is warm, comfy and isolates noises from the outside. It is a legit Japanese restaurant vibe and makes people who come alone feel embraced and happy. Not sure about lining, I arrived at 4:20 there is almost no one there."

"I know authentic Japanese food and this was *chefs kiss*. Please don’t second guess the Katsu here- get it and you’ll have no regrets. I love that it came with little cubes of tofu- and those circles are Japanese potatoes in a shoyu brine."

"Incredible tonkatsu. Crispy crust with juicy pork inside. The sauce and the shredded cabbage are amazing. Highly recommend the feature tonkatsu set. The catch is service is slow. Takes 15-20 minutes for the food to come. Shop appears to be short of help. Too many customers not enough waiters. Five star on the food and four on service. Still highly recommend this restaurant."

"We ordered 3 different types of katsu. To be honest, when the waitress told us which one is which, we weren't paying that much attention. Both pork loin and filet katsu were good, but both of us preferred the ones that softer. My daughter ordered the katsu don and they liked it. Edamame and addiction eggs were good also. We probably have to try their different location to experience variety of the menu offered."
