Great little japanese restaurant. They serve the best tonkatsu using the black pork. Sad part is a tad expensive for the portion sizes but I can't complain - you get what you pay for.

A Japanese-run restaurant featuring the Berkshire Black pig - also known to be one of the finest meats to Japan.
Have come here a number of times and always satisfies.
Recommend the Tonkatsu pork loin (done the right way and you will not look at crumbed pork the same way again), the potato and kurobuta pork croquettes (accompanying sauces are out of this world with just the right amount of crunch) and the pork belly. For an extra $7 you can upgrade to the set with a salad, rice, miso soup and accompaniments.

This is no cheap and nasty Japanese eatery. It really is a place for people that like to appreciate the care and respect Kurobuta pork is prepared and tastes sensational.

Staff are relatively attentive as expected in traditional Japanese dining so you would expect to pay just a tad more to enjoy your expertly prepared meal in nice surrounds.

Bookings recommended as this is a small establishment and have watched many walk-ins get turned away - very sad as this place should get all the raves it deserves.

Approximate cost: $24
