Food was excellent. The beef rice bowl was flavourful, and the karaage was crispy but juicy. Matcha was very weak and not like the picture. Once mixed in, the matcha itself was almost not even noticable. However, since the matcha was free (promo for following them on instagram), I can't blame them for using less matcha.

The food were amazing and unreal. I felt like I visit to one of great Japanese restaurants in Japan, and the quality of the food and services were the best. Me and my wife ordered tempura teishoku with rice and grilled salt favoured sardine teishoku with rice. It's flexible to change from noodle to rice if you want, and rice was free to have more. The best experiences in a long time and I'm coming back here again! Thanks!

I've come here multiple times now since they've opened and the food is sooo delicious! I look forward to their daily specials (gozen) on their Instagram and it is very reasonably priced, delicious, and filling. They also sell specialty teas you can take home so don't forget to to check it out! Their daifuku (fruit dessert pictured) is my favorite and very popular (it sells out too quickly!!). The staff are also so friendly and thoughtful too so make sure to come visit on their opening days and try it for yourselves!
