This is a newly open mom and pop place just opened 2 months ago near the corner of San Gabriel Blvd and Huntington Blvd. It's near the Trader Joes. Plentiful parking at the back, entrance thru San Gabriel. When we entered the back door, we are greeted cheerfully by Alan, our server and later on by Jaime, who took our orders.
We ordered appetizers: Sweet Corn with Cheese and Chicken Tatsura Age. Main dishes: Green American Wagyu Don and Tonkatsu Pork Curry. Dessert: Souffle with Sea Salt Foam.
The Chicken Tatsura Age was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. Piping hot when served with a sweet chili sauce. The sweet corn has a tang like it has a probiotic taste and added with melting cheese. It was a sweet salty goodness that I can probably just eat these appetizers and done with it.
But, I need to check their main course. The wagyu don is very tasty. I did a mouthful of rice with every slice of Wagyu and it is very tender. It came with a small green salad with shoyu vinegar dressing and a Tamago. The Pork Tonkatsu Curry is also delicious. The curry served on the side has the right taste, not salty, not bland. The Pork was crispy outside and tender juicy inside. Dipping the pork into the sauce is a perfect combination. I even tried the curry sauce with the Chicken Tatsura Age appetizer and oh soooo gooood!!!
The Souffle is melt in your mouth goodness. Sea salt sauce has the right saltiness in it. It also came with fresh fruits. We took home some smoothie and haven't tried it yet since we got so full from our meal.
I highly recommend this place. Please try this place out and I woud guarantee that you won't regret the visit. Servers are very nice, food are delicious, you won't have problem looking for parking unlike other restaurants. I will definitely come back to try their other main dishes...
Read moreMy friend and I ordered pork/chicken katsu with omurice, which comes with a bowl of salad, miso soup, and curry. We also ordered the roti with curry, and the food was good, except the miso soup was a bit salty. I ordered the avocado smoothie, and my friend ordered the mango smoothie, and the drinks were delicious as well. BUT, why the 3 stars? The owner's attitude was rude and offensive. First, the owner asked if I was from Guangzhou because I spoke Cantonese, and after I said I could speak other languages, such as Mandarin. He replied, " You don't speak as much as I do ". That comment is rude and unnecessary. I'm not trying to compare you; this isn't a competition. Secondly, I asked if we could get some of the curry sauce and whether it needed to be charged, which is understandable. My friend told him we both liked to dip the katsu with more sauce, and he said, " That's not the correct way to eat it." " Stop changing the menu ". Um, there's no correct way to eat katsu, and it felt like the owner was trying to have an argument. He said, "There's no way you guys can convince me to give more sauce. My friend and I weren't convinced to get free sauce, so I asked in the beginning. Thirdly, the owner stood near our table and felt uncomfortable while watching and listening to our conversations. Quite disturbing, but I have to appreciate the owner gave me a bit of curry sauce to take home, but while I was busy packing my food, my friend helped me by taking it, and the owner snatched the curry sauce out of my friend's hand. That's when I felt I had to post this review on Google. We both felt uncomfortable and offended by this restaurant and will never return. The food is good, tho, but sadly not with...
Read moreY.our Café is a fantastic all-in-one spot for a quick lunch, offering delicious drinks and desserts. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly, going above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction with their food options. While the menu isn't extensive, everything on it is flavorful and well-prepared. The drinks are made with fresh fruits and ingredients, hitting the spot every time. Their Signature Soufflé is a must-try, though be prepared for a wait of up to 20 minutes as it's made fresh. I'll definitely be returning to enjoy their drinks, food, and desserts, and to support this small restaurant business.
Quick tips: The restaurant is conveniently located next to CTBC Bank and USPS, with parking available behind...
