“Tasty food and friendly service. Place is simple and could use more charm. We tried the Katsu chicken, spicy fried chicken, and dumplings. The mains came with rice, salad, and macaroni salad. Could use more of a personal touch, but fast and filling and would order again.”

“Just tried the spicy soy chicken combo. Honestly blew me away how good it was. Seriously delicious, but this is definitely more of a grab and go place. Will definitely be going back.”
