"The best Japanese rice meals in town come from this place. They have a strong Japanese-bias authenticity, which means their food are not too Americanized . Japanese is my favorite cuisine, and this is one of the best I 've had here in WA. This is my guilty pleasure, and I come here a lot (sometimes daily, or every other day . Japanese curry is my favorite curry, and they do it right, with their katsukarē (offered in both tonkatsu and chicken katsu . It reminds me Kyoto for some reason. I have tried almost all their entrées, and I am delighted to say that I have never been disappointed. While their more American-friendly breaded food like tempura, katsu, and furai (fry entrées are fine (definitely better than anything in the area , their rice bowls are where it 's at. They do offer a variety of food that others are too afraid to serve like saba (mackerel and kaki (oyster . Even their pork belly ton toro bowl is a treat. I also love their bento entrées, as they come with macaroni salad. This one is definitely a Filipino-Hawaiian influence. They 're bigger bento do come with maki instead. They also sell a variety of Japanese snacks, and even some cold Ramune 's. The only real thing I do not like is the small menu — although that is not necessarily a bad thing. I do however wish they have katsudon/oyakodon, and some ika or tako (squid/octopus — gotta love those tentacles! entrées. Finally, the staff are great, they always smile and will definitely remember your name."
