Nice setting ambience. Food and presentation is good.

Really good food...served fast and love the hi-tech ordering on a tablet. I'll definitely be back.

We ordered Chicken Katsu Toji and Katsu Toji (pork). Both served in dark clay pots that keep food warm. The Katsu Toji wraps egg, and onions around boneless meat and simmered together is fantastic. We both finished the entire rice bowls as the dishes are very tasty. Don 't remember when this happened last time, must be long ago. They serve one glass of free tea but we also ordered Matcha Genmai Cha hot tea which smells nice and has toasted nutty flavor. They use tablet for both order and service. The tablet also shows status of your orders. To refill hot water in our tea pot, we simply click on 'need help ' and then click on 'refill hot water '. Very well design. The waitress are very responsive for all helps. Overall very enjoyable lunch experience. One thing to note is once you click 'add to tray ' on any individual item, the order is taken. Thus is very different than most online shopping experience which need one confirmation for the entire orders in the tray. Be watch out for this.

Great food, service is also on point. It's really hard to find a good thick piece of Tonkatsu (people who've been to Asia/Japan will know what I'm talking about). There were quite a few things out of stock when I went, so that's mildly frustrating. The sushi bites are slightly expensive but taste good. The salmon they use is not the normal fatty sashimi ones in sushi restaurants, it's much leaner and tougher in texture, just a heads up on that. Unagi Don is delicious but my wallet hates me.

Always a pleasant dining experience, before and during the pandemic. Human contact is minimal, but never at the expense of good customer service. You place your order on a tablet, and you will get your food in less than 15 minutes.
