    They're fast and affordable. I have gone for lunch to have the monthly lunch special, which is just a discounted dish, and I have visited for late-night eats. This is the go-to spot for my friend's husband, who is Japanese. He's always fun to go with and talks to the servers in Japanese. They use a robot to bring some stuff out, which is helpful so the servers aren't constantly carrying things back and forth. I most enjoyed the Pork Mixed Fries Curry Rice since it had fried shrimp, pork cutlet, and a minced cutlet. I've had ramen, rice, omurice, and many of their sides. It feels warm, cozy, and welcoming in there. They're usually busy, especially with locals.

    TLDR: The curry is phenomenal. My partner ate a katsu before I could take a photo. Feels like a homey diner in Japan, but they have modern robot servers. Must visit in Little Tokyo. We came here thinking there was still omurice, but their Tenshin Chahan Annkake is a close second. The gravy is delicious and the rice was light and fluffy. But the one that surprised us was the curry. The chicken katsu was perfectly paired with the curry. We were scooping every last drop of the curry by the end of the meal. The novelty is the robot servers, but the overall service here is warm and polite. I really appreciate the arsthetic that reminds me of Japan. I wish I knew about this spot earlier because this is now my new staple in Little Tokyo/DTLA!!!

    One of my favorite late night spots if you wanna go back in time to retro Japan. This place has a lot of history and reminds me of my time in Japan with how everything is set up like you're in Japan in the 1980's. My table got a chicken Katsu with curry, bbq beef rice plate and a pork oyakodon with a side of dumplings. Everything was flavorful and the curry seemed to be very fragrant with sweet undertones. The dumplings were a good addition to everything. Would reccomend coming here after an event or in the evening to get the aesthetic of being in Tokyo.
