An youshoku place in the states. Japanese style western cuisine isn’t easy to find around the place. Here you can find multiple taste of pasta and good quality hamburger steak and proklet. The Japanese blend makes them different from Italian style but is a special...Read More

It was so delicious 🤤 Had super combo, Tarako spaghetti with hamburg and curry rice. $25ish. Great deal. Comes with salad and soup. I think early bird (before 1200) gets free drink??

Really amazing Japanese-style pasta. Everything always has wonderful flavor and a melt in your mouth texture. We've never been disappointed coming here, so it was perfect for a nice, mellow Valentine's Day.

Akane Chaya is a gem. They specialize in Japanese Italian cuisine with mostly spaghetti on the menu with some pilaf/rice options too. The food is delish! I love that it comes with warm bread roll and salad.
