I showed up at 11am and there were a few people in line.

I was interested in trying the tempura dishes.

Tempura shrimp had a light crunchy batter with plump tender shrimp.  Loved the flavor and texture.

Tempura chicken had a different batter that was not as crunchy as the shrimp.  Liked the flavor which tasted like the chicken was marinated in soy sauce.

Tempura zucchini had a light crunchy batter and fresh juicy zucchini.  I liked the light flavor.

Gyoza had a thin crunchy wrapper with a beef and veggie mixture inside.  Pretty good flavor.  Tasted like the beef was marinated in soy sauce.

I sampled the calamansi-ade.  Delicious lime flavor with a bit of sweetness and a bit of sour flavor.

 

Service was very speedy as you grab the tempura and go to the cashier.

 

Tonkatsu had a nicely seasoned broth.  Udon noodles were thick with a mild flavor.  Chasu pork was tender and I liked the bbq flavor.  This dish was mostly noodles and I would have liked to add more chasu pork.

Calamansi-ade had a mix of sweet and lime flavor I loved.  Staff was nice and efficient.  So far my fav items are the shrimp tempura and the calamansi-ade.

Kirk of mmm-yoso!!! has visited too.
