It's a small restaurant that has a natural/green feeling to it. It looks like it used to be one of those places that just sells salads or a tiny cafe (?) Anyway, it's super cute.
We ordered the popcorn chicken to share ($6) and I had the Gyu Don ($11) and my husband had the Torikatsu ($11).
The popcorn chicken was good, but was a bit salty for my tastes. It was dark meat, so not as lean as I would have liked, but still enjoyable.
I really liked my Gyu Don. I asked for no corn and no sesame seeds and my dish came as requested. It was a bed of rice, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, half an egg, and thinly sliced beef. I loved that the beef was lean and not all fatty and gristly like at some places. The meat was also tender and well marinated. The rice was a bit sticky, which I liked. The cabbage and carrots were finely shredded and at first I thought there was too much dressing, but it ended up being ok. The egg was tasty, but for some reason was cold. Is it supposed to be cold? I don't know. I was expecting it to be hot like the rice and beef.
I had a taste of my husband's dish, which was essentially like mine, except his protein was a breaded chicken breast. We requested no sesame seeds with his dish too, so I could try some, and he was ok with corn, so got corn with his meal. The Torikatsu does not come with half an egg though.
I had a piece of the Torikatsu and it was good. I liked the lean chicken breast and the breading was tasty.
Service was very nice, friendly and attentive. The server came and refilled our empty water glasses several times without prompting. We got our food fairly quickly too.
You pay at the cash register when you are done.
Really cute spot. I would definitely recommend it for some quick and cheap Japanese food.
