Had the Tonkatsu, had much better before at smaller and less costly restaurants. Overwhelming the service was lacking and the food quality and flavors were lower than average

very crowded and need to wait for long time anytime but you can get a seat easily if you go earlier, just after opening.

Nice interior and good food. We had terrible service. Made us wait 40min for a table after telling us it'd be 10min. Not cool
