The CUTEST and FRIENDLIEST restaurant that I have ever been to. From the beginning to end, the staff were super accommodating and helpful even though we couldn’t speak Japanese. They used printed translation cards to communicate with us and it just felt so homey. The food was absolutely delicious and filled me to the brim. The Katsu was crispy and light and the meat was super tender. The meals also come with a free miso soup, cabbage and rice refill. Absolutely a superb value. The cherry on top was the fact that the waitress even walked us out to thank us for our patronage, something I have never seen before. We will always come eat here whenever we are in Nara!

I love the katsu at this place, and likely the best cost/performance katsu I've yet to come across in Japan. I ordered the oyster and tenderloin katsu set with a side order of scallop. The breading was light, crispy and delicious. You have the choice of white or grain rice and endless refills of rice, miso soup and shredded cabbage. The highlight for me is the variety of condiments available. Other than the usual suspects (pungent mustard and katsu sauce), they also have tartar sauce, salt+pepper, matcha pepper and plum puree.

A fantastic restaurant for Tonkatsu!!! The pork is tender and delicious. The coating is crispy and flaky - absolute perfection. The prawns 🍤 are large and full of flavour. Sets come with rice, soup, tofu, pickles, cabbage and plum sauce - very good value. The staff are friendly and helpful (very good customer service). It can get busy during lunch and dinner hours. Take out available. I will definitely be back - great food!!!

The thick cut tonkatsu was soft and juicy. Crispy on the outside, yet really tender on the inside. No struggle to get a clean bite on the first go! Shrimps were huge, heavenly pair with the homemade tar tar sauce. English menu and translation cards were used by staffs. Restaurant manager was super passionate and lovely. This place is a must visit if you're in Nara! It's just 6 bus stops away from JR Nara station.
