We found this little gem on yelp. After a long day at Bush Gardens this place hit the spot! There's something for everyone! Delicious food and friendly staff! The chef even brought my little girl a special treat! This Orlando family will definitely be back! Thank you for a fantastic meal!
Was in Tampa a couple weeks ago and the peeps at angry chair recommended this place. I was wrecked but it was delicious � from what I remembered. I remember chatting with the owner who cooked are food and had a chop chop shop tat on his arm � got back to the hotel and gave the left overs to the valet guy at the hotel, he was absolutely pumped lol!
Hole in the wall joint that's easy to miss. But when you find it, you'll be treated to great food with so much flavour. An excellent place to grab a quick bite to eat. Though the menu may look small, the combination selection will keep you coming back for more. Highly recommend trying this place out!
Excellent! I really enjoyed the food. Many different sauces with very different flavors. All great. Highly recommend.
I tried the ginger roasted pork on noodles with the shop sauce and carrots.

Ended up here after trying to get into Ichicoro and not wanting to wait 2 hrs. This is definitely a "hole in the wall" because we missed it twice, its next to the Animal Hospital if you find yourself lost. This is what I would consider a hidden gem in Seminole Heights, kinda funky, kinda hipster, and fresh, fast and delicious. They mostly serve bowls and you pick your meat, sauce and side. We got the chicken with Chicago Lee sauce with mean greens which was pretty good, the sauce was like a fancier teriyaki. We also got the pork belly with Shop sauce and OMG that pork belly was absolutely excellent...sublime texture and the sauce was great too. They seem to do really well on take out from what I saw and you can even BYOB. I would highly recommend going if you're in the area and even if you're not.
Great Food surprised its not packed 24/7 was slow. Food is ordered on a computer like those Tiktoks of ordering it privately and picking it up. Very Nice Vibe environment and the food is superb. Will recommend to anyone wanting a noodle! Got to try the curry next time!
Food cooked fast and delivered for you to enjoy. Self service for the most part. Everything tasted amazing. Noodles, rice. The sauces are the secret weapon. Japanese food rarely disappoints. Look like a run down diner but the food is anything but.
I have been looking for what feels like forever for an okonomiyaki restaurant, so of course, as soon as I heard about this place, I had to check it out.
I love the refurbished diner look with the classic Asian influences all around. You order at a kiosk when you enter, giving it a unique experience with great menu choices to choose from. Quick service as well.
Everything I ordered was delicious to include the drinks. I got the classic Hiro okonomiyaki with beef and a side of white rice and a melon drink. Absolutely nothing let me down. My friends got the karaage (fried chicken), which was also very tasty.
Overall 5 ⭐️'s and I highly recommend.
I can't give 5 for service as there isnt any actual servers. Food was phenomenal. Atmosphere is weird as its dirty 50's diner meets japanese takeout. The bullethole in the window (surely from the days as a diner) really sells the diner in tampa vibe. Order via touch screen, pay, wait to be called to pickup your order. Easy peasy. Good food. Weird place to serve it. Dont get me wrong they could serve this food in the middle of a monkey knife fight and i would show up to buy it.
I went here to meet up with friends. I thought it was a little strange at first that it looked like a diner but served Japanese style food. For fusion places, I guess it isn't a bad idea, but it takes getting used to.
Everything there is essentially self-service, whether ordering or wiping down your own table. I don't like that aspect actually because I feel like when I go to a restaurant that is my expectation.
The food comes quickly after placing your order; although, it can be difficult to hear above the people talking and music. I ordered the Karage side dish because I had actually already eaten dinner. The flavor was okay. Maybe a different sauce would have made it better. The chicken had been freshly fried and definitely made up for it.
I would recommend it for the experience as it is a decent hang out spot.
It was my first time trying this restaurant out and the food was definitely great. I liked that you got to put in your own order, it was unique. The food was ready really quickly too. I'd come back!
WOW is what I have to say. This place is the bomb. They serve up amazing Japanese food in a no frills 50's era looking diner.
It's a very hands-off place where you plug in your order on a tablet and they quickly bring out your food.
Man the food is incredible. The Chicken Katsu was so crispy & delicious. The beef is also so flavorful & tender. I expected things to be good but I was really blown away. You gotta check this place out. It's crazy fast well crafted Japanese food.
This is our second visit and once again it did not disappoint. First I love the atmosphere. Diner cart but very warm inside with cool lighting. Very colorful inside. Then there is the self-serve stations which are super intuitive. Big PLUS for the options to communicate a food allergy. Our son has a big one. Then there is the food. We pretty much ordered variations of the pork belly. This time I had the curry and it was so delicious with the perfect bite of spice. The food comes in a good size to-go container making it easy to take home if needed. I'm looking forward to returning again.
I recently tried the chanko's Japanese curry with chicken katsu, and it instantly transported me back to Tokyo. Taking a bite felt like that magical moment in Ratatouille when Ego reminisces about his childhood through food. The flavors were authentic and evoked fond memories of Japan.
This place is a hidden gem!! It’s really chill and super clean inside. When you walk in there are 4 touch screens where you can order everything off of. Once placed, you can sit anywhere you’d like and they call out your name once it’s ready and you get it at the pick up area on the left side of the restaurant. Also for drinks there’s an option to have it come out before your food or with your food which is nice! I got the Hiro Classic with pork belly and and it was delicious and the pork was so tender. It’s a really good portion too, I could definitely split it between me and someone else because I barely ate half of mine 😅 It’s minimal interaction between staff since you order off of the screens but the interactions we had with staff were nice. Definitely will come back and recommend!
