“Lovely little shop, we went there for some dinner. It was almost closing time but they still were working like clockwork. The food was very very good and the price was fair. I appreciate their work - go there and give them some love 💕”
- Francesca Forristal
“Great service! Clean, nice atmosphere - but honestly the food let it down a bit. Perfectly serviceable, but the rice was kinda dry, the salmon tasted kinda plasticky. Also feel like I’m biased because they don’t do any raw fish here, and that’s what I was hoping for. My friend enjoyed the katsu!”

“Sushi pieces are really small The chicken cat su curry portion is small as well”
- Riku Mikoto
“Absolute bs! The service, food and price is absolutely terrible. It's Self-Service, but the servers does not follow the order, they just make the wrong stuff. As simple as wasabi, its extra cost and we ordered specifically extra, but literally there's a dot. Paid but got cheater. Same with salmon. It's also takes so long if its not premaded ready to go... took over 45mins for our order. No next time.”
- Julie Baird
“Came in for lunch this afternoon and really impressed with the quality of the food. Ordered two poke bowls and salmon sashimi and all delicious. Polite and friendly server and we were offered free water with our meal”

Customer Review Summary
Chicken katsu is the most frequent draw, with reviewers praising the katsu rice and the katsu curries that keep the shop busy with students, though one finds the curry portion small. Close behind are poke bowls, salmon sashimi and seared salmon, called fresh and tasty, and pork gyozas described as very well fried. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, and several mention affordable pricing and the student discount. The criticism is specific. One reviewer found the salmon teriyaki dry and overfried, with the gyoza sauce cup barely full. Another ordered extra wasabi and got a dot, received the wrong items, and waited a long time for anything not premade. Others found the rice dry, the salmon plasticky, and the sushi pieces small. When one poke bowl arrived with the wrong ingredient, the staff compensated with a set of gyoza.
