This place is a little hidden gem! I wish more people knew about it - I’d love to see this business thrive. Everything was fresh and delicious and came out so fast. You walk in and go to the front to order, the menu is a cute chalk board on the right wall. Once you order, you seat yourself and they bring out your food. You can get water from the water machine next to the register. We got the tonkatsu bento special - highly recommend coming in between 11AM-3PM since they have a tonkatsu or chicken katsu bento for $14. We also got the Sando sampler and ube fruit sampler. Everything was so delicious! The rice was cooked just right in the bento + the tonkatsu was fried just crispy enough with a juicy interior. The sampler came with 3 flavors - egg, spicy chicken katsu, tonkatsu. Def great value for 3 different flavors and all were fantastic. We finished off with the ube sando which was so creamy, just the right amount of sweetness, and perfect way to end the meal. I definitely would come back to try other sando and bento box flavors. There’s also cute little things you can buy at the front of the store like stickers, keychains, etc + a little claw machine....
Read moreThis place had been on my list for a while social media really hyped it up so I was excited to finally check it out.
I ordered the Chicken Katsu bento box with a side of curry and also wanted to try the sando sampler. For the sampler, I asked for chicken and egg, but I didn’t want the pork. Since they sell a variety of other sandwiches shrimp, fruit, tofu, etc. I thought swapping the pork for one of those would be a reasonable request. Unfortunately, I was told no substitutions were allowed, not even an exception for this time. The only option given was two chicken and an egg. That felt unnecessarily limiting, so I canceled the sampler and just kept the bento box.
The place was completely empty except for one table finishing up, yet my order still took about 25 minutes to come out. The bento box itself was okay good enough to eat, but not something I’d make a special trip for again. Overall, the lack of flexibility and helpfulness with my order made the experience less enjoyable than...
Read moreWe found this place listed on Instagram as a good spot to grab a bite to eat. It is a bit tucked away in the parking lot, but entering inside revealed a clean, stylish and downright cozy atmosphere right away. They had a cooler with grab and go Sandos right by the door, plenty of seating spots, and the guy who greeted us was friendly and ready to answer any questions we had. We ordered a Bento, Miso and a Sando sampler, around 26 dollars, but well worth it. The Sandos were well balanced with flavor and texture, none of the ingredients too overwhelming, but all coming together perfectly. The Bento Box was packed full! The pork was delicious, and the side seaweed salad was surprisingly crunchy. My favorite part had to be the Miso soup. It is not hard to make ok Miso soup. But it's very difficult to make a good Miso. This by far is some of the best I've had. (Perfect for a muggy and cold day like this.) Overall, if you're looking for a good spot to stop and eat, pay this...
