Katsudon and Katsu Curry are both great and big portion, but Unagi Don is not my type. Japanese style fried chicken is super salty, which I don’t like.

When I picked it up, the food that contained raw fish was placed on top of a hot food. By the time I got back, the raw part of the food was warm and my friend who had the dishis now sick.

Sushi was tasty and cuts of fish were very generous. This was a fav spot ad a grad student, and 7 yearslater, still a place I enjoyed.
