The deep golden-brown piece of katsu chicken is made with thigh so it’s extra tender, and sandwiched between soft, pillowy slices of milk bread. Do we have actual romantic feelings for this sandwich? Highly likely.

Chicken Katsu Sando

The silky smooth curry is rich and fragrant, and super comforting on a chilly day. It comes with rice and you can choose a protein, like crispy potato croquettes or chicken katsu—whatever you land on will soak up the curry really nicely.

Japanese Curry

If you’re in the mood for something lighter, the spicy tuna don is a great bet. The rice and fish are topped with fresh slices of cucumber and radish, plus a heap of green onions.

Spicy Tuna Don

We always get a side of these when we come here. They’re smooth and creamy inside, perfectly fried, and just fantastic.
