The food was excellent, and the service was attentive.We arrived around noon and found plenty of available seating.However, the menu had limited options, mostly various Katsu dishes.I wanted to try appetizers as mentioned in some reviews, but it seems they're not available for lunch.Ample parking spaces nearby.
Small restaurant that gets quite busy so I definitely suggest getting there towards when they open.There's inside and a courtyard, which is enclosed but not covered.We sat outside and it was really nice weather for it.The space is a bit small but cozy enough.Service was very good and we enjoyed all our food.Lots of great appetizer options that are a little more uncommon in the area.A bit on the pricier side but worth it imo.
If you have to wait to be seated, you know the food is worth the wait! This restaurant is so cozy and the staff is friendly.The food matched well with the atmosphere.Do try the karage chicken; super crispy and juicy! And finish off with their amazing light and floral green tea!
