It's only decent when compared to other places, but I would definitely return to try the teriyaki chicken or for an affordable meal. The food is similar to Japanese bibimbap, with their dons including meat and rice with some veggies like bean sprouts and carrots. The gyudon seemed average in quality. I would recommend trying the chicken or, for seafood lovers, the poke.

Currently, they are only offering takeout service. I ordered the katsudon with an extra runny egg, and the total came to around $16.58.

Since Fuji closed this has been my goto for neighborhood sushi. They have a good menu, decent service and fresh fish. Don't recommend garlic edemame though. read more Since Fuji closed this has been my goto for neighborhood sushi. They have a good menu, decent service and fresh fish.

I tried the Gyu Don, a beef dish, and found the taste enjoyable, although not very complex. The addition of pumpkin gave it a festive touch for the fall season. The miso soup that came with the dish was plain, but it was complimentary so I can't complain too much. The chili oil they served was smoother than what I am used to (lao gao ma), which I liked. The menu was simple with a seasonal item available. The customer service was nice and pleasant. My only complaint is the single-use packaging they use, which makes the meal feel cheaper and creates unnecessary waste.

I am impressed. You know those bento box that Japanese school kids have in animes? Well I've never had them, but this is exactly how I imagined they would taste... read more I am impressed. You know those bento box that Japanese school kids have in animes? Well I've never had them, but this is exactly how I imagined they would taste like. I got the unagi and gyu don. The portion was just right. The unagi was probably not the quality you'd find in high-end restaurants but for a bento shop it's pretty good. The beef was a bit too sweet for me but there's plenty of rice to go with it. The side dishes were the best part. Each one had a really delicate taste.
