LizzyLizzy: Get the eggplant appetizer; it's small, but so delicious. Also, the Katsu-don is made perfectly. Don't get the bento box with the mackerel - it takes a loooooooong time.

Michael C.Michael Cabot: Very traditional Japanese food. The hokke or Alta mackerel were on point. The karaage where a bit strange. The agedashi tofu was also authentic.

Ellen S.Ellen Sutjiarto: Awesome ramen and agedashi tofu with reasonable price. Love this place...
