    All of the sandos were beautiful and delicious. The chicken katsu was crispy and moist. The egg salad was mild and comforting and the mango and strawberry cream sando tasted like cake, but not too sweet! The strawberry matcha latte was yummy too. It was also just a little sweet and the strawberry was real fruit. It was a fun place to hang out with a friend. Parking is a bit difficult to find so we asked someone to drop us off and we waymo'd home. The staff was very friendly!

    Really good atmosphere if you're looking for a peaceful vibe in an exciting place, would recommend the pork katsu

    I love cute little Japanese Cafes! This place is pretty small though so be prepared to have to scope out seats beforehand. There was a very small patio outside as well. Came here on a weekday afternoon. There was about a 15 minute wait to order. My friend and I were lucky and found people leaving a table and sat down right after ordering. We got a chicken katsu curry and a katsu sando. I also got a hojicha latte. Bougie basic brunch achieved. Chicken Katsu curry 5/5 This was delicious. Homey and comforting. The curry is flavorful and pairs so well with the katsu and pickles. The katsu was tender and not dry and crispy! I wish I had ordered this. Katsu Sando 4/5 This was also tasty and the katsu again was perfectly crisp and juicy. For me, this needed more sauce or even dipping in the curry would've been excellent. I did like that this came with a couple of pickles as well. Hojicha Latte 4/5 This was well made and not bitter at all. I adjusted sweetness to 25% and probably could've gone slightly sweeter but it was an enjoyable iced drink for a hot day. Overall, definitely have to come back here. Parking is rough though so be prepared. It's busiest at the lunch hour because I think there are business folk who come so try to come outside 12-1p.

    Very good food. I liked the sandwich it was very juicy and hot. Potato thingy was good too. Matcha was high quality no cap on a stack. Service was quick. Place was pretty chill too.
