I was excited to see that a new Japanese restaurant opened up close by. We decided to visit the same day I read about it. We got there around 6 pm on Saturday. There were a few tables filled already. One thing we did notice was a smell. We couldn't place it though. Kinda fishy, kinda like cleaner? Anyways.
The staff was very friendly and attentive. We arrived during happy hour (goes til 630). We ordered some salmon sashimi, which was good. The miso was good/normal, but the cucumber salad was lacking in flavor.
We also ordered the chicken karage, which I have been craving for a while. It was just ok (flavor wise and tenderness). We asked for some mayo to go with it and it tasted better.
The tonkatsu ramen was okay. The broth was not as rich as others that I've had, but the pork was tender and flavorful.
The pork katsu curry was a bit disappointing, as the curry sauce didn't have much flavor and was quite watery. The pork was fried well though!
All in all, it was okay. Perhaps still refining recipes since they just opened? They do have a wide selection on their menu, so I would say, give it a try! But we were a bit disappointed that our favorite dishes weren't as awesome as we hoped.
