Dropped in for lunch on a recent Friday based upon so many great reviews. I was very disappointed w/their signature dish: karage. I was looking forward to the organic chicken & while it was tender (chicken thighs usually are), it was way too greasy for me. I really tried to like it but just couldn't tolerate the grease.

Really enjoy their lunch deals with great donburi selections, especially their deservedly popular Oyako-don with the smoky chicken and runny poached egg on top of rice.

Nice atmosphere & great service from the waitress. Very nice Yakitori ( grill food ) everything is so fresh and tasty. If you like Japanese grill food this is the place to choose.

Tasty yakitori-style japanese food.
