This place is really amazing. Everything is fresh and super tasty. The Katsu patty for the chicken burger is much thicker than the patty for the katsu with rice, which makes sense. The regular Katsu cutlet is absolutely perfect thickness and crispiness, and I personally prefer that over the chicken burger katsu. Everything was really perfect. You can get all of your sauces on the side as well, to avoid overwhelming your taste buds, and they will give you free side of curry if you ask!!! Who does that?!! Yes, a free side of curry with any of their rice based dishes. Amazing! I gave some extra tip because I felt so grateful for their generosity. For their rice dishes, they also give free watermelon pieces, which is super refreshing. I'm looking forward to trying their Bibimbap next.

Had a wedding tasting here with Greenfish. Food is amazing. Chef Eric was so kind and likable. Service is top notch. We are blown away with the quality of sushi and japchae and salads, and short ribs, etc.

Found this place on Google maps while looking for a new lunch spot. Their website let's you order ahead for pickup, which was very convenient. When ordering online you can also omit ingredients (onions, pickles, etc) which is great for those that need the option. I ordered a chicken katsu burger and a side of garlic fries to go and it was pretty good. The burger required assembly and the chicken katsu was a very good size, sticking out the sides when placed in the burger. The fries were a little soggy from sitting in the plastic bag for too long but that's my fault for picking up my order later than their estimated pickup time, so if you plan to order ahead for pickup be sure to get there in time! Lastly, there's a small parking lot in front of the business and it wasn't full when I was th

First off the food is great. I ordered the spicy katsu burger combo and it did not disappoint. Wasabi slaw is not something I've had before but it is definitely a must try. Combine that with the chili sauce and slice of cheese on top of some chicken katsu and you have a winner. The fries that came with the meal were also crisp, hot, and fresh. I do wish the slice of cheese melted more however. A small detail. I do feel that this place is more of a lunch spot. The inside is extremely spacious albeit lifeless at the time I went (5:30pm). I might just order takeout the next time I come here.

The food looks great I was excited to eat and I’ve had this place saved in my phone for almost a year but just as I was talking mid way the lady answered the phone and interrupted me to take someone else’s order., I’m on my lunch and don’t have much time so when she stopped talking to me and took two orders and placed them ahead of me I walked out and I’m not coming back. Garbage first experience. You have no idea how bad I actually wanted to try this place but now I’m just gonna tell everyone to not go. And run this place out of business..
