Absolutely delicious with generous portions! The curry pork cutlet is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender, juicy—not dry at all—on the inside. Definitely a must-try! More

standard japanese restaurant serving the usual fare, with a wide range of menu items :]
the food is nothing outstanding, but comforting and reliable. everything was well made and portions were satisfying enough for the price. not much to critique but also not much to wow over.
service was attentive and fast, though the limited seating was a minor problem.
worth a visit if you're in manly and are craving japanese food, as they won't disappoint !
