| - Summary: good food, ridiculous parking/seating arrangements, probably too pricey.
I ordered the pork loin katsu with soba, which came with a cabbage slaw, miso soup, and the sesame seeds with mortar and pestle. The soba broth was lukewarm and a little watery, but it tasted good, as did the noodles. The katsu was delicious and crispy - great breading - and I loved the sauce. That meal plus a diet coke and a katsudon with miso to go was around $30, which I felt was a bit much for the quantity that was served. It wasn't outrageous by any means, but did feel a smidge overpriced.
There is a small parking lot, but most of it is reserved for customers of the neighboring store. There is actually a sign on the restaurant door stating that reserved spots are tow-away zones. We ended up squeezing into the back/side of the lot.
The seating was weird. In the restaurant, there is a high table with maybe 6 chairs, a bar-like counter with 4 stools, and some regular-height wooden tables for two - maybe 4 of those. The most comfortable place to sit is probably the small wooden tables, but those are basically communal. Our party of two was basically sitting on top of the neighboring two top. Also, a four top had just left and it took quite a while for the table to be bussed.
Overall, I might get take-out but I would probably not visit again.
