Delicious Japanese food. We love everything on the menu so far. The name sounds a bit like a chain and it's not in a fantastic location but we eat there once a week, everything is so fresh and tasty! Highly recommended!

Fantastic comfort food! Everything we've eaten has been delicious. They serve a vegan "No Chicken" sandwich that tastes so much like chicken I almost sent it back. For dessert, you'll love their banana pudding and peanut butter cookies with chunks of Reese's Peanut Butter cups in them.
