Food and the wait staff were very good, but the service was kind of slow. Loved the beer selection. The place looked nice, but could really use some acoustic tiles - the noise was terrible. It ruined the dinner conversation. I may give the place one more chance, the room to the back right seemed like it might be quieter.

Tonkatsu was crispy but tender. Rice (very important) was so good (from Japan), also. Soba noodle was good but the sauce was too sweet for my liking. Overall, this is my new Tonkatsu eatery.

Fantastic food, drinks and vibe. Highly recommend their cocktail that they finish with matcha green tea. Sounds odd, but it’s amazing!

The food was exceptional, as was the service. The location however left much to be desired and looked quite run-down. It was also very difficult to find as someone out of town
