The Katsudon went from 140 PHP to 240 PHP for a Bento that doesn't taste as good. Maybe it's because of their new branch. The old version was much tastier.

I highly recommend trying the karaage—it's perfectly crispy and juicy—and the koroke, which I just can't resist. That said, the restaurant itself is quite simple. It's a small, hole-in-the-wall location with somewhat inadequate ventilation, so I suggest going for takeout. Overall, I definitely recommend this place!

However, I did find that the karaage I ordered on June 21, 2019, was a bit salty. I placed my order through GrabFood, which also included the karamaki and kani salad. Despite the saltiness of the karaage, I'm still giving it a 5-star rating because everything else on the menu is exceptional. It’s possible that the saltiness was just due to some measurement inconsistency.

It may be a bit small, but the food is absolutely fantastic, and the prices are quite affordable. They also provide discounts for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. As a huge fan of Japanese cuisine, I can honestly say that this is the one restaurant I can't resist visiting, even when I'm trying to stick to a diet.
