I was in the area and was looking for good local grub. I found this place with 5 stars. Unfortunately, it failed me. I ordered the chicken katsu plate with rice, mac salad, and spinach salad. I enjoyed the spinach and mac salads. Spinach had a yummy teriyaki like dressing, not too rich. The mac salad had a sugar kick to it. It was good. However, the katsu not as appetizing. It was covered in a sauce with extra sodium, super salty. It took away from the katsu crunch and taste. Made the katsu soggy, not crunchy.

All the food was great and fed all 30 guests with enough for seconds and a little bit of leftovers. I’m looking forward to trying more from the menu and will probably have them cater our next...
