This little Japanese food mart is a hidden gem in Ridgewood, Queens. Their chicken katsu sandwiches are to die for, so huge and fresh and crispy. They also have some bottled drinks imported from Japan called yuzu. Their prices are very reasonable - the chicken...Read More

It was cool. Staff is super friendly. Layout is dope. Super quick service. Only tried the Spicy Chicken Katsu Sando. Chicken was good, but idk if $15 for a sandwich and potato chips is justifiable. Just my personal opinion. I’m big on price to value...Read More

I expected a little better for some reason. The staff is friendly and there’s some seating inside and outside. Lots of little Asian treats. But the chicken sandwich was crunchy almost to the point of being dried out. My onigiri barely had any filling so...Read More

Unfortunately, the katsu in the katsudon was perfectly 50/50 ratio of chicken to breading ratio and there was not enough sauce. From a grab and go for purely sustenance perspective, it's fine. Honestly was pleasantly surprised to see the big slab of katsu, and katsudon is...Read More

Very homey place with a delicious menu. The sandwich was quite filling, with the huge piece of katsu that can't fit in the bun. A different take on a crispy chicken sandwich. There are benches to sit inside and tables outside. Overall, would come here...Read More

Great food. I got the breakfast burrito and spicy katsu sandwich. Burrito was good, but I wish it was made to order. The spicy katsu sandwich was awesome. Perfect level of heat. Definitely will be back if in the area.

The food is incredible, the staff is always super friendly, and they have really unique products that you can’t find in the neighborhood. Usually food comes out quick even when they’re pretty busy, and they do get pretty busy in there most days.
