"The environment! The coffee! The pastries!"

"Get here late for lunch and sit at the counter. Miso tonkatsu or soba set. Comfy, elegant and clean setting with homestyle Japanese better than I've had living in SF even."

"I had an amazing pork belly special with cheese grits, onion jam and a freekin poached egg. WOW it was rich but so good. Go closed to 2:00 to avoid a super long line."

"Shrimp dumplings, turnip cakes and scallion pancakes!"

"Great for a to-go lunch but be quick, the ladies don't like when you horse around. Get the har gow and low bok go (turnip cakes)."

"The wontons in spicy peanut sauce, dry-fried green beans, hot and sour soup, and ma pao tofu with pork!"
