Really good value for what they offer. Great ingredient quality and services.

Best Tonkatsu I ever had. Very enlightening. Kind chef. Overall a great experience I can only strongly recommend

The service was truly exceptional, the people at the restaurant gave us an amazing service and helped us sending a driver to pick us up at the subway station, they also drove us back with no additional cost, basically we just paid for the meals.
