Ordered a Chicken Katsu Don. Came with Miso soup. The bowl was ok. Not nock my socks off, but certainly edible and the portion of ingredients seemed fine for the cost.
This was a scheduled pickup from an online order and they allow you to checkout with a "pay at store" option if you feel touchy about entering card info on their platform.
Only thing is there is only a change of meats between the Dons (rice bowls), so technically a rather limited variety to them aside from swapping the choice of meat or having tempura shrimp instead, and being stuck to only miso as the soup choice hurts the value for those who don't have a taste for it.
I should also add that the counter does not care about your order number to find if your order is on the counter or still in the works. Some places emphasize the order number, but this place is used to the numbers said to them to be the last 4 of your phone number -so just give them that if you order pickup here.
I followed up a few days later on ordering basic Ramen. They had it with miso broth, a whole lot of sprouts, pork slices vs braised pork, the egg is not injected with soy-sauce but is cooked per style, there was a seaweed strip, and i think onion slices. It was a bit astringent overall. Some may like that. The pork pieces were OK, but required effort to tear vs being soft and easy to peel.
Have to keep in mind this place isn't ramen focussed and it wasn't inedible, just not to my taste with the astringency.
They packed it well. The side salad was a basic lettuce and barely anything else with a little sauce container. I just ate it without sauce after eating the bowl and it helped relieve the astringency.
Not likely gonna order the ramen again. The rice bowls,...
Read moreMy husband and I came here tonight (we’re on a business trip and originally from Georgia). We had the WORST experience I’ve ever had in my life. From the start, we noticed the staff was not very friendly. Everytime they brought something, we’d say “thank you” and nothing. No you’re welcome. Anyway, food was bland. Very mediocre. We go to pay and she says my card is declined. I ask her to please run it again because that’s not possible. She runs it again and says “it’s because of the chip.” So I say “oh can you swipe it maybe?” She said “no, it was DECLINED. LIKE YOU HAVE NO MONEY!” In front of everyone in the restaurant. I left to go get another card (my debit was declined because my bank thought it was fraud). While I was gone, the staff repeatedly tried to accuse my husband of trying to walk out on the bill. When I got back, I paid the bill and signed the receipt. She then proceeded to roll her eyes and get upset that I did not leave her a tip. I do not recommend. These people are...
Read moreThis restaurant has a special place in my heart. I used to go here all the time from when they first opened years ago until I moved out of town. It was my favorite spot to treat myself to a nice, quiet dinner during the weekdays. My family and I decided to stop by recently for lunch while in town. The prices have gone up a bit since I’ve last been here but the quality is still good. Service was quick as always. I love ordering the bento boxes; they’re delicious and come with a decent portion of food. I’d recommend checking out this restaurant if you’re in town looking for yummy sushi and a variety of...
