Perfect spot for comfort food, Me and my Wife always visit this shop for their perfectly cooked Tonkatsu. Now they added a Ramen option first time trying it I can say one of the best in Adelaide.

Had a really nice time here. Very high quality Japanese food, Wagyu steak was top quality. Good selection of drinks. Nice atmosphere, great looking bar, tables spaced out so plenty of space. Clean. Friendly and efficient staff.

Love love love the tonkatsu !!! I have been trying a lot of tonkatsu around Adelaide, and it is the best one so far ‍ The curry sauce had a hint of spice, making the dish more enjoyable. The ambience and service are a plus, too !! I got to meet Tiffany , who was such a lovely floor staff :3 Definitely would come again with my friends

My favourite go to Japanese place to get some hotpot sukiyaki, yakitori and karaage. Everything has been perfect and yummy! Dishes came out on time, reasonably priced and served really well. Spent my birthday evening here and front of house host, Joe, gave me free beer to celebrate ! Thanks team!:)

It was a great experience eating at this restaurant. The Charsiu Donburi Bowl tasted very authentic and the staff were very friendly and nice! Would come back again! Highly recommend!
