We were impressed with this new little restaurant and the ingenuity of the owners that started in 2019 and survived the worst of... the Pandemic! Nothing fancy, but a steady stream of take out patrons that the reception knew by name and open long tabledining was very welcoming. The menu is limited, but delicious and plentiful. No noodles here! Entrees are accompanied bycabbage and rice. We had pork belly and giant popcorn chicken along with "brussies" and panko coated shrimp. An unusual eggwas added to the rice which was delicious. It's worth ordering the Maine Root Ginger Beer, which complemented the spiciness ofthe meal. There are three spicy condiments, in house made, that deliver additional flavor. All are worth a try! The waitstaffis very proud to describe the level of spiciness. A video of a walk through Tokyo and Japanese wagasa complete the decor anddistract you while you await your food. Good luck in the future, guys! Read more

The staff are very polite and attentive, great atmosphere inside. Orders are issued quickly. I was waiting for the "Takoyaki"... and "Teriyaki Chicken" for around 6-7 minutes. The smell of the dishes is impressive, with such a strong aroma and richtaste. Another time, I tried ?Salmon Poke?, salmon was fresh and tasty. This place is definitely fantastic! Read more

Karage is amazing and freshly made, but the best must be their sauce. The curry mayo is very good. Not expensive at all and the... place is pretty spacious and comfortable. Read more

An American Japanese fusion restaurant at the heart of San Marcos. Loved visiting this restaurant today. The staff are... fantastic, very friendly and will help you with the menu if needed. The menu is affordable and you will find a meal for under$10 here. The don and teryaki are my favorite from the menu. They also serve free water with every meal. The seating arrangementis limited but it's themed in a Japanese restaurant environment with great artworks all around the restaurant. I highlyrecommend people to visit here to meet your Japanese cuisine cravings! Read more

Very pleased with my experience and my order. I got the pork, chicken and waffle fries plus 2 egg rolls. I'm a very judgemental... person and love to cook so it's difficult for me to go out. I feel so highly about this restaurant I'd be willing to drive the30+ min from Austin just for a meal. The quantitie, quality, customer service, atmosphere, and more. Are all very very well doneand I couldn't be happier. Not a 10 but a damn solid score and I'd recommend it to anyone craving American Asian food. :) Read more
