Best hole in the wall Japanese food I've had in quite some time even when compared to the mainland. The price is very cheap given the times. Each plate is around $8 which will fill up the average adult. I ordered a tempura lunch plate and the order was freshly fried right in front of me! Where el

Best chicken Katsu I’ve had. And the price point is very accessible, about $12 per person. Bring cash!
