Mari SetbackenAugust 17, 2014Easily the best takoyaki I've ever had. Had the burger, tasted amazing. Like really excellent katsu meatloaf. Also, FANTASTIC wait staff. High five.
Sam LickerJune 11, 201825 layer pork Katsu and ramen set was delicious! Katsu was juicy and tender. They were out of spicy ramen, but offered me a side of spicy paste to add 👌🏻
David HeiserNovember 8, 2018Pretty good katsu, but not on the same level as you’d find in Japan. I just came back from a trip there, though, so I’m definitely a little spoiled at the moment.
Jacobo GómezMay 14, 2016This place is absolutely amazing, incredibly underrated in Foursquare (6.0 score as of this review), which is weird... A MUST for me everytime I'm in LA
Jane CMarch 10, 201425 layer pork katsu (original & black pepper) was moist & Delish. Steamed rice is amazing. Miso soup is simple & very home made. Agedashi tofu is solid.
Jodi FungDecember 2, 2013The original comes with pepper even though they have a peppered one, so you can have them make it without as long as you let them know. Personally it is so much better without pepper to ruin it.

Kevin FalconeJune 2, 2016Be puzzled by the cabbage appetizer, but the katsu is delicious. Solid miso soup with most meals also.
Izzie DizzieSeptember 24, 2015Best katsu in town. Not fat at all, and the beef and chicken is so tasty.... Yummi!
Alexander SchroederSeptember 26, 2013Miso soup was perfect. The cheese katsu was great but I was not impressed with the dipping sauces. My take out order took an hour to get. I hope they get this sorted.
Kevin TDecember 24, 2016Their layered katsu was quite dry, not what I expected for how much I was paying. Not super worth it IMO
