Reviewers consistently praise the delicious katsu dishes and friendly service, making it a great spot for authentic Japanese food.

"We had lunch here today. The katsu was amazing - crispy on the outside and tender inside. The curry flavors of the katsu curry was super delicious. Staff were friendly. Try the potato croquette - yum"

"A must go. This is now our second time and loved every bite of food. I had the pork katsu curry with rice and it was just simply delicious. If you’re having dinner in my Eden, please have it here."

"The ramen wasn’t really my favorite, but the katsu pork was delicious and definitely worth trying. Staff were lovely, and it’s a cozy spot overall — just make sure you don’t miss the katsu!"
