"In obsessed with this place. I eat it like twice a week. Their Kani Avocado Salad is addicting, and everything I ever had is good. Just eating their Steamed Rice with mayo and koku sauce on top. So good. "
"This place is DELICIOUS! My husband and I shared the curry chicken katsu. The portion would be too big for 1 person, sharing it was perfect! The chicken was juicy and crisp while the rice was soft and chewy, it paired really nicely with the savory curry sauce! I totally recommend this dish and establishment! We will be returning!"

"The T11. Thai Milk Tea was very good, great amount of boba for the price (picture shown is the normal ice with 100% sugar). Not overly sweet, boba pearls are perfectly chewy. The B8. Roasted Pork Belly tasted amazing too. The pork belly itself was tender, flavorful and had that savory crispy skin. The bread was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, not too spicy. My only complaint is the large slice of jalapeño in the sandwich."
