Cute homey Japanese vibes. It’s a small restaurant so I can see there’d be a wait on busy days. Luckily we only had to wait about 5 min. The menu is straightforward. Comfort Japanese dishes. Service was great, they’re super nice and very attentive! The tempura was good, sauce was great too. Katsu was fried perfectly, sauce was tangy and fantastic, just wish the pork was more moist/tender. Karaage was just okay, probably wouldn’t order it again, most of the flavor came from the sauce. My dad loved his eel bowl set, flavored and cooked well. My katsudon bowl was delicious, again katsu was a little dry, togarashi is a must with this bowl. And the cold soba noodles were great, the sauce dip was perfectly seasoned and noodles were perfect texture, very refreshing to eat. Parking - small free

Quick and attentive service, friendly atmosphere that makes you feel welcome. Food was delicious as always, freshly fried appetizers and entrees. Never disappoints. I had the Yaki combo udon, mini curry, and chikuwa.

A great spot that is casual, comfortable, delicious and filling. The food is very well made and extremely satisfying. Their signature is the Katsu curry and it really hits the spot. Had to wait around 20 minutes on Sunday evening since it is so popular. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. There are lots of cute duck decorations inside too. Highly recommended for a quick and delicious meal.

Yes I'm giving this place five stars mainly because of service! The owner's kids that took it over are fantastic people! They are kind, they make themselves part of the community, they have people come back just because of the great service and the unique local restaurant feeling. This is a hole in the wall place, not high end, not fancy, but the food is solid and almost tastes like homemade meals. The karage fried chicken is absolutely five stars! We got the curry and it was pretty smooth with the udon stir fry noodle, which was good, but probably something I wouldn't order a second time. Definitely coming back!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Michael Kirrene · Jan 2026

I understand that this is a community restaurant and the staff is super friendly but all those high marks for their food seems inflated. The best party of our meal was the fried gyoza dipped in tempura batter. I highly recommend those as appetizers. Unfortunately the rest of the meal fell flat. The broth for the ramen lacked any real deep flavor and the egg was hard boild. I'm more accustom to the seasoned eggs and a much richer broth with deep flavor. The soba with dipping sauce was ok. The soba noodles were a bit too thick and chew for my taste but I did enjoy them. The tempura was crispy but the parts touching the rice were not and the bowl though small came with 3 or 4 small pieces. The menu listed as small bowl but I kind of expect more for the price. The kaarage also crispy but got s
