" Definitely one of the best fried chicken spots around! The karaage is superb and always fresh. I love the convenient takeout option since the seating is limited. The staff are always friendly and accommodating, making it a pleasant experience every time I visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place should be on every food lover's radar. The karaage is spot on, with a lovely crunch and great flavor. Portion sizes are plentiful, and the service has always been friendly when I visited. Highly recommend trying their spicy mayo! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very excited to try this restaurant based on the reviews. The karaage was crispy and seasoned well, but the service was much slower than expected. I had to wait for my meal a bit longer. I feel like I need to give it another chance; I’ve heard good things. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my latest visit, the karaage was as amazing as always. Perfectly golden and crispy with that unmistakable umami flavor. The portion sizes are very generous for the price you pay, and the staff is genuinely welcoming. I always look forward to returning. " (*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*)
