did i mention that everything is under $20 🤭?? i loved how the food all came out hot and fresh ♨️ the fried stuff wasn’t too heavy either, the batter felt super light and crispy 😋 perfection. and i wish i could explain how good the japanese curry was with the shrimp tempura because my god, they managed to make it taste even more homey than my own homemade curry 😆 SO good, a must try!
a surprising favorite of mine was the hambagū burger. i was actually pretty close to not ordering this because burgers felt weird at this type of restaurant, but our server recommended it and it did NOT MISS 💯 the patty was so juicy and each bite was delicious 🤤 but i still think i like the gyudon more because to me, that’s peak japanese comfort food and even better with the poached egg on top 😚❤️
