3.5 star. They have excellent lunch specials. I always get the curry beef on rice or the grilled chicken on rice. Comes with a side Japanese salad. The staff greets your entry in a loud fashion, just as most izakaya places would. They expanded the restaurant a little while back, I think by double, so getting a seat isn't as tough this time around. Definitely recommend eating here, and then checking out the other shops in J-Town for awesome Japanese snacks.
