The first visit we had the chicken katsu roll with a coffee for lunch. The coffee was surprisingly good and the roll was very tasty which besides the chicken also included egg and salad, which was very filling. My most recent visit was for dinner which to my opinion was fantastic. The hosts were very polite and talkative and I couldn't fault their service at all. My wife and I had the pork gyoza, chicken katsu curry and beef bibimbap. The gyoza were delicious, not excessively oily and the filling was tasty and light . The bibimbap was really good, all the ingredients were fresh and delicious with everything served perfectly. Lastly, the chicken katsu curry was perfect! It's everything I like my curry to be and probably one of the best katsu curries I've tried in Sydney. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a beautiful layer of panko breadcrumbs, the sauce was a nice consistency and colour with a great mix of vegetables, flavour and good hint of spice to it. Price is reasonable and on par with most dining out locations. However, I think the serving sizes for the prices were larger than expected and my wife and I were unable to finish what we order, so we took the rest home for a lovely lunch the next day:)

Very tasty bento. The chicken was well cooked, the egg was delicious and the sashimi was good too. However the gyoza was fried too much and it tasted like chewing cardboard. Overall though the bento was hearty and healthy. They also serve coffee, tea, cakes etc. and serves as a little cafe as well, so very all-round here. PRICE - $11.90. Decent price SERVICE - great service. Friendly staff (they can speak Korean as well). The wait for the bento was a bit long though.
