Guest Voices
I would really recommend trying this place, good portion sizes and good food. I loved the Chicken Katsu! Chicken is crispy, tender and juicy with plenty of sauce, got an egg with it and it had a perfect runny yolk for mixing with the rice. The Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab and 1912 Roll were also great. Got the Shrimp Soba Noodles for my mother and she said they were awesome. Lots of sauce packets provided too! Will definitely be ordering again.
Extremely nice staff. Food looks amazing and even better! Excellent amount of food. Fresh! And they didn't forget to put chopsticks in the bag😄
The rainbow roll is always phenomenal!
