Reviews
- fluffy_mustard_seedGot the curry pork cutlet rice — the pork was super crispy on the outside and so juicy inside, like you bite in and the flavor just bursts in your mouth. The curry sauce was rich and went perfectly with the rice, which was fluffy and soaked up all that sauce. Honestly really satisfying. Also tried the silky egg with beef and it was great — beef was super tender and the egg wrapped around it made every bite really smooth and flavorful. The place is clean and has a nice chill Japanese vibe to it, staff were friendly and the food came out pretty fast. Solid spot for a quick easy lunch on a weekday, would come back.
