   Second time to this restaurant. Great venue and great service Overall really great but wished the pork cutlet could have been served a bit hotter.

   We're really glad you enjoyed your visit overall. That note about the pork cutlet temperature is super helpful and we’re looking into ways to make sure it’s served hot and fresh every time. We really appreciate your support and hope your next visit is even better!

   This restaurant is probably the best in town right now. They serve the best Katsu, and the vibe is really neat. I love the little robot that delivers the food too! The service was exceptional, and our food arrived right away. The portion sizes were perfect, allowing us to feel satisfied. Plus, my family of four was able to dine and leave in under an hour. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

It means the world to know the katsu hit the spot, the vibes felt right, and even our little robot got some love. We’re all about quick, friendly service and satisfying meals, so it’s awesome to hear we delivered on that. Can’t wait to welcome you all back again soon!

   Katsu was great! The service was partially done with some robot attendants, and given the small space, the servers were constantly moving around them. Seemed more in the way than helpful. I wanted to try a bit of everything, but had to order sets instead of being able to order individual katsu aside from shrimps. Portion size is huge 😆

   Tonkatsu was crispy but tender. Rice (very important) was so good (from Japan), also. Soba noodle was good but the sauce was too sweet for my liking. Overall, this is my new favorite Tonkatsu eatery.

   Aloha Elena! Thank you so much for the kind words. We're thrilled you enjoyed the tonkatsu and the rice. We're actually working on a soba version with a less sweet profile and plan to introduce it to the menu in future. Hope to see you again for round two!

   Pork katsu did not seem made to order. Pork was not juicy and hot. Very disappointed.

   Hi Brian, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that the pork katsu didn’t meet your expectations. Our katsu is made fresh to order, so it's disappointing to hear it didn’t arrive hot and juicy as it should have. We’ll be sure to look into what may have gone wrong during your visit.

   The robot ran into my husband while we were sitting down at our table. The staff assured us that they would reset it so that it wouldn’t happen again, but it does seem to be a safety hazard if no one else is supervising it. We had our infant with us in his car seat (propped up on a dining chair) and had the robot accidentally bumped into our baby, it could have knocked him off of the chair. The food itself was delicious and portion sizes were generous. The trays were a bit too large for our table and we were scrambling to always make space. Dinner service was pretty fast. Our reservation was for 6:15 and we were out by 7:30.

   Thank you for your feedback and for dining with us. We’re very sorry about the robot incident—your concern is completely valid, especially with your infant present. The issue occurred because the table was rotated 90 degrees to seat your party of five, which disrupted the robot’s usual path. Our layout was designed with the robot in mind, and under normal table placement, this doesn't happen. Still, we sincerely apologize. If safety is a concern, we understand and can cancel your 4/29 reservation—just let us know. Thank you again for your feedback.

   This would be my third time and this time the service was not good at all. There were 3 men servers and a couple females helping out. No one came by to refill our water canister or cups and we ordered extra rice but only received 1 but got charged for 2 even though they said they would remove the charge. No one came by to check to see how we were doing the entire time we were eating. On the bright side, the Soba was amazing. I guess that was the highlight of the nite.

   Thank you for visiting us again and taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the service didn’t meet expectations this time. For future visits, please note each table has a tablet with a call server button, water refill button, and a complimentary rice refill option—designed for your convenience. It sounds like there was a mix-up with the rice charge, and we’ll follow up with our team. We always welcome guests to let us know during the visit so we can make things right on the spot. We're glad you enjoyed the soba and appreciate your feedback!

    Saw this place on Facebook and decided to try it based on the review. We were not disappointed! Everything about our experience was great! I am picky about fat on meat! My pork was perfect with no fat or gristle at all. The tonkatsu sauce was tasty and absolutely loved the creamy cabbage sauce! We will definitely be going back.

    Thank you so much for giving us a try and for the awesome review! We’re so happy to hear that everything hit the spot — especially the pork! We know how important it is to cater to local tastes, so we take extra care to trim the fat from the loin and make sure the meat is just right. So glad you noticed! And yes, that sesame sauce is definitely a fan favorite. Can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!
