I really wanted to like this place but it did not measure up. My husband wanted to go based on the high ratings on yelp. I saw Stephanie S review and she's quite accurate...should have avoided this place. The 5/5 rating is a bit surprising...many 1 reviewers though.
The food was really just not good. Nobuya...more like nooooo boooooo yah. Japanese food are usually light and fresh but this is very fried and fatty. A lot of it does taste like frozen food. Maybe poor turn over so the food is not very fresh tasting.
The fries were the only edible thing. It was nice and crunchy but I think it's quite hard to mess up fried potatoes.
The karaage was kind of soggy with all the sauces and it wasn't quality chicken. For 5 pieces, it is a bit expensive. The pork katsu was full of sodium. More breading than there are of pork. I had two bites. I couldn't taste chicken in the chicken skewers...tasted cheap fried dough only.
Overall not worth the price tag for horrible Japanese Mickey D's version.
