James H.: Pork loin was very special.
Glenda Crisp: The chocolate tarte with coffee is the perfect way to end dinner here. We had excellent service - very friendly.
Eater: Expect white tablecloths, four-star service, and elegant Gallic-German fare. That means beer soup with ham hocks, scallion kougelhopf, and foie gras & squab croustillants.
Laura Pilcher: This place is a hidden gem! Great service and food is delicious. Heirloom tomato salad is huge and they make it a meal with bread. Good wine list - go for a bottle rather than by the glass!
Jean Poh: Service sub par. Lots if co fusion over simple drink orders and required a lot of hand holding. Let the tourists have this one, I'm not keen.

David Benjamin: Great portions for the price and it's always on point. One of my regular go to spots for lunch.
Sharon Kim: Ask for teriyaki sauce on the side
Real Cheap Eats: The chicken thigh teriyaki is right choice here ($7.75). "The beautifully plump, juicy, organic teriyaki chicken thigh is served over white or brown rice with crisp and fresh side salad." Read more.

Jeff E: Katsu curry, pork loin, don bowls!
Kiwi Wang: Casual, authentic little Japanese spot with delicious katsu. Katsu don is my fave- great rice, egg still a little soft, perfect rice.
Foodspotting: Try the traditional tonkatsu set: Japanese breaded fried pork with shredded cabbage, sesame seeds that you grind yourself, tonkatsu sauce and miso soup. It’s EXACTLY like Saboten in Japan! - Alexa

Leah Helmer: The wonton soup there is out of this world INCREDIBLE.
