    My favorite Japanese restaurant in the neighborhood, authentic, with a Rasta touch! Try the Katsu Don, or the Oyako Don. They also have perfect Ice Cold Beer.

    Total Japanese comfort food. The fried chicken is great - lightly fried and with a hint of soy sauce. The deep fried steak is too heavy. Try the octopus app. Overall - good, but not outstanding.

    Neighborhood Japanese joint with affordable beer and good fried food and snacks, even if specialty dishes like ramen are less impressive.

    Try the rice dish with tofu skin, it's Delish! Also the steak & fried chicken. Best bet try everything. #onelove

    Probably the only Bob Marley themed Japanese restaurant in the world. Chicken nanban and wagyu dishes are tasty and definitely not healthy. Service is slow.

    Pork yakiniku, without fail. I usually order from delivery.com but finally came here and it's so grungey cute!

    Everything here is good, but don't come here in a rush. In accordance with the Marley that's always playing, this place is really _chill_. Always empty, too.

    Chicken nanban. Super chill place where it's almost the opposite of rushing you.
