I got black garlic tonkatsu and have the spicy paste on the side. Black garlic gave deep smokey and garlic flavor Tonkatsu is clean and light Combined is deep umami flavor highly recommended. The spicy paste alone is overwhelming, but if you took a small amount and gradually add it to the broth according to your taste, it changes the tonkatsu flavor to more thicker and adds acidity to it. Very good if you like thicker broth! Noodles are firm and captures the flavor of the broth. Great place to try and could be the better spot around elmhurst area
The marinated egg could be more gooey, and also the topping needs some nori maybe, it is not as much as other places, but the star of the show is the broth.
Kaarage chicken as appetizer is good breading, the chicken could be juicier, some piece is great, some is a bit dry
Overall great experience and it’s by my house,...

Read moreThis is my go-to Japanese restaurant in Elmhurst. I’ve tried many of their dishes and they consistently meet my expectations. I highly recommend the Takoyaki and ikageso —the Takoyaki comes in a generous portion and is full of flavor, while the ikageso is tasty and perfectly crispy.
The Niku Udon and Gyudon are quite similar (one with noodles, the other with rice), and both are enjoyable. I’ve also tried the Steak Ramen and Chashu Don, which were decent, though not my top picks. For the Ebi Fried, I personally wish the shrimp were a bit larger.
Overall, I really enjoy this restaurant, which is why I keep coming back to try more of their dishes. The Takoyaki alone makes every...
