"Visited for the first time today and I wish I had done it sm sooner!! I'm vegan so I went for the regular sized Tofu katsu curry with noodles and omg it was delicious!! Plus, the portion size was insane I was soooo sure I had been given large by mistake tasty curry sauce, a generous amount of crispy tasty tofu and plentiful noodles! U r given a set of chop sticks and a fork to use and I choose to sit at that window seats! The atmosphere is very welcoming, the staff friendly and the menu is clearly labelled! Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys Japanese/Korean cuisine or who just wants to try something different! They offer take away as well btw."
