Hole in the wall corner shop that serves amazing comfort lunch! The chicken katsu was super crispy and juicy and didn't taste "processed." The fried pork cutlet was flavorful, not too oily, and juicy as well. I thought it would have been a bit more crispy but I guess that's because it wasn't deep fried, but it was still great. I loved this one and the fish cake that came with it! While the bentos may look small, it's so filling. You get a bit of everything - carbs, protein, appetizer and a little sweet something. Everything is made to order so the wait for the orders may or may not come out fast depending what you order and who is in front of you.

Last minute random choice for lunch for 7 people. Our original plan was to eat at restaurant across the street, but they had no room for 7 people, so we just practically ran around the 2 plazas to look for a place that could hold all of us with a good variety of food and we landed here tired of running around the place in such hot weather. This was a mom and pops takeout cafe with a few chairs and NO RESTROOMS. There was one nice cashier lady taking our orders and making our food. It was true like other reviewers said about the chicken teriyaki chicken pieces being a bit on the dry side, but there was some sauce on it. Rice was ok a bit lumpy due to a little too much water in them. But all right. From their website they are a mom and pop shop opened since 1988, specializing in Japanese and Taiwanese bento boxes. Their Halal chicken and Angus beef is marinated and grilled to each order and they add their house made teriyaki sauce to bento box. Pricing is reasonable and good for locals around this area. I personally would not come out of my for this takeout for food is average. But it's important to support mom and pop locations as many are closing up due to the economy.

First time dashing from this place. Chicken Pot Stickers arrived HOT AND DELICIOUS! "A"..... california roll was a "b" for good.I would definitely order again!

The food is average and the quantity of the bento is a joke. Each bento serving is barely enough for my kids. The quantity of the food is so little. I probably won't be ordering from here anymore.

Solid place for amazing lunches. I have had their salmon bento box, spicy tofu bowl, vegetable gyoza and shrimp tempura. Enjoyed every time.

I was looking for authentic Taiwanese bento but was very disappointed with the pork rice I ordered. It says 爌肉， but it is not 爌肉 at all, more like 肉絲。 Nothing is even close to the Taiwanese standard. With the price $17 it is asking, it doesn’t worth a second visit for me.

Wanted it to be better as l live nearby. Owners were very niceKatsu was decent, salmon was dry rubbery and expensive.
The best takoyaki in the bay area.The fish cakes are very good also. I will come back again and again.

I love this place. Close to work and quick service. I get a basic beef bowl and it hits the spot every time. The owners are great and very considerate. The first time I ordered there were no chopsticks in the bag. After that there were chopsticks ready to go every time I ordered, so this business gets to know your preferences and makes an effort to please customers on every visit. I highly recommend you try it out!

Worth it for the quality. Food costs are high nowadays and prices are very reasonable when compared to decent restaurants.

I was excited to see the hamachi collar offered as a special bento and ordered that. First, I loved the fatty fish collar which was pretty tasty (plain shio yaki style). The sides were on the sweet side (as verified by my blood glucose reading after) and overall the quantity was on the smallish side. Compared to the price/quantity of a Tea Era or Bento Express box lunch (which are both within 3-5 min driving neighborhood) it was pricey, but the side dishes are of higher quality and I was rooting for the husband-wife business partners.
