" An average experience for me. The karaage was fine, but nothing to rave about. The service was friendly, but it took a while to get my order. If you’re looking for a quick bite, it might work, but I’d likely opt for another spot next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Totally fantastic dinner! The karaage was simply unbeatable. I’ve traveled to Japan many times, and it truly felt authentic. The staff were super kind and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, perfect for enjoying good food at your own pace. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been searching for authentic karaage, and I finally found it here! The chicken was incredibly juicy with just the right amount of seasoning. The service was prompt and the dining area, although small, was clean and inviting. I cannot recommend this place enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I had high expectations going in based on the reviews, but I found the food pretty average. The karaage was decent but didn’t match the authentic taste I was hoping for. The ambiance felt a bit cramped too. Service was friendly, but I don’t think I’ll return. " (*Curated Review*)

" The chicken was good but not fantastic. There’s a lot of hype around this place, and while the food was nice, it didn’t feel extraordinary. I’d also like to see a little bit of improvement in the cleanliness of the dining area. A decent experience overall, but I may not come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience here! The karaage reminded me of my trip to Japan - just delicious. The only downside was the small dining area, so it's best to take out. But it's absolutely worth it, especially for the price. Highly recommend the bento box! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in expecting amazing karaage, but what I experienced was underwhelming. The flavors didn’t pop for me, and the service was just okay. It's popular among locals, but for me, I found several other places that did it better. I might not return. " (*Curated Review*)
