Everything was made fresh to order which was nice, the hamburg steak takes extra time. The curry itself was good, good ratio of rice to curry as well. You can pick spicy or not spicy you want the curry. We got +2 spicy which was fine for us - but if you don't handle spice well it might be considered spicy. The tonkotsu was good portion size, crispy but was a little dry. However, the curry helped with it. For the hamburg steak, it is a beef patty with cheese in it covered in a brown sauce. The brown sauce was a mix of sweet and savory. It came on the side with curry rice. Good portion size. Overall, will be back again to try their other dishes. They have ones that I have never tried before and I saw others ordering different items like mapo tofu curry rice, curry udon, and so forth.

The crispy panko katsu is such a good balance for the spicy curry on the side! There's normal, 1, 2, and 3 spice levels. The food came out quickly and it was nice and hot!

The flavor of the curry is so packed with spices and the depth it brings paired with the perfectly cooked fluffy rice makes for a beautiful ensemble. The pork katsu is juicy, tender, and moist. A perfect thin layer of crisp adds a great level of bite that softens with the rice and curry creating a chewy delicious crispy bite. I always ask for extra pickled radish as it helps cut through the strong flavors and the rice is cooked well There used to be a small eatery similar to this called Tani's kitchen in Daly City- the curry is similar and the hospitality is welcoming. After introducing this place to the wife, she no longer eats the boxed curry and only wants to eat here for curry. The amount and portions are good and youll be full!

We came here on Saturday night to eat Japanese food. Parking was ample in the Mitsuwa Marketplace,…read morewhich is where the restaurant is located. The restaurant is small, so it may not be the best for large groups. The good news is that we were seated immediately. We ordered Chicken Katsu Curry and Pork Katsu Rice. I liked how both plates came with red radish, which added a crunchy texture and fragrant taste to the dishes. Both of the protein/ katsu on the plates tasted similar. I'm not a big fan of curry + katsu, so I preferred the rice plate. The katsu is flavorful and crunchy. The servers were nice to us. The restaurant is cozy and pretty quiet. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a Japanese restaurant to try out.

The people serving us are always so nice, and the more we came the more we were familiar with each-other. The music playing is nice and the atmosphere is cozy and perfect (sometimes a little crowded). Our favorite order to get is the *Stir-Fry* which uses stir-fried veggies with a beautifully crafted broth with black garlic oil, and the Kakiage they serve is great, and when ever we would go we were able to make modifications to our ramen, my favorites were the (Chili, "Duck", ect..) since those had vegetarian broths, |also for people that don't eat egg they now serve an eggless noodle option!| Hope this was helpful or informative in anyway!!

We also had the tonkotsu ramen, the black garlic oil really enhanced the richness and taste of the soup. Overall, it's a lovely ramen spot, and I would definitely come back .

Just go--you won't regret it!…read more Tried this spot with Boyf on Thursday night and it's an absolute gem. The Setup: Super casual, old-school vibe. When you walk in, you just check yourself in by writing your name and party size on the piece of paper by the door. The Vibe: Authentic, family-owned, and packed with locals (always a great sign). The Food: The bento boxes are amazing and the sushi is incredibly fresh. Highly recommend. Exactly the kind of neighborhood spot downtown SJ needs!

The ambiance is so cozy and reminds me of small diners in Japan. I got the bento box C (teriyaki chicken, tempura vegetables with tempura shrimp, gyoza). It also comes with miso soup, rice, and a salad. The food portion is a lot for what you pay, and I had to take a small box of leftovers home! My favorite is the tempura and salad. The teriyaki chicken and gyoza are nothing special, but was still good. My partner got the katsu curry plate. It is HUGE. He could not finish because there is a lot of rice and a potato with it. There is a lot of curry sauce to go with everything. The curry has corn bits, zuchinni and onions. I think it was comforting as well, nothing amazing but still delicious. My sprite and waters was refilled for free :-) I would come back with friends or family for a relaxing lunch experience.

I enjoyed the small bits of meat and cooked down onion, and the ratio of curry to rice was just right. As for the pork katsu, I appreciated that the katsu was still crispy despite the transport from door dash. However, it was in the dryer, thinner side in my opinion. Can't comment on the service or ambiance of the restaurant because I ordered delivery. Overall, it's worth a try if you are really craving japanese curry, but don't expect anything extraordinary from their katsu.

**5 Stars because the Chicken Wings**…read more Saw a TikTok online about Tarah having the best Thai chicken wings in San Jose, so I had to try. The Laab Chicken Wings were truly the star of my meal. The savory, tangy, salty, limey flavors were dancing on my tongue. The wings also reminded me of tom yum and I never had a dry rub wing taste that good before. It's such a unique flavor. The meat was also tender as well. I also tried other dishes: Old Style Pad Thai (loved the crunchy pork grinds), Panang Curry with Roti, and some beef plate my partner got. Overall, we enjoyed these items and rate them 4/5 stars. Ingredients were fresh and cooked well. I only had a few nitpicks, like the roti was more doughy instead of flakey. Additionally, the pad thai did not come with lemon, so it felt like something was missing from the dish. However, I was able to ask for chili sauce which enhanced the pad thai. This restaurant is located in Willow Glen area and it is a tiny place! I would not recommend large parties here. It seems they receive many take out orders because of the small dining space. Other than that, the workers were polite and service was timely.

I appreciated that the workers asked us for preferences for where we would like to be seated and showed us the options when it was our turn to be seated. We were seated at spacious table on the side which made conversations easy and comfortable. Service was spot, everyone was really polite, patient, and helpful. Food was good-I ordered a half udon with some sushi. The soup base was pleasant and memorable, and I was tempted to drink the rest of the broth after finishing my noodles. Also really loved that the sushi orders portions were small with reasonable pricing so that there is an option to try as more rolls. My friends also ordered sushi rolls and were happy with their picks. Dessert choices looked amazing but we were a bit full in the end, and the restaurant also generously complimented our meals with a choice of vanilla ice cream or lemon sorbet. The lemon sorbet was refreshing! I would love to come back soon!

I love Japantown, and I love Kaita!…read more My group and I were wandering Japantown after a bit of shopping and stumbled upon Kaita. We got there around 6pm on a Friday and for a group of 3, we got seated within 5 minutes. Service was excellent! They were quick to take our orders and refill our waters. One of us accidentally spilled our water, but they kindly cleaned it up for us and reassured us it was okay. I ended up ordering the broiled salmon, which I thought was a perfect serving! They gave me the salad first separately, which I finished pretty quickly. Out came the rest of the meal in moritsuke style. The broiled salmon was cooked perfectly, with the nice charred taste while still maintaining its juiciness. They plated it with macaroni salad and sweet oranges. I was able to finish everything without feeling too overstuffed, and left the restaurant feeling satiated. I would love to come back again and try their kaisen don! Overall, I highly recommend if you want a cozy Japanense eatery in Japantown.

The service was quick and the food came out quickly for a semi crowded restaurant. My sushi was kinda small considering the price. Both of the sushis had some really chewy seaweed. It was a kinda a turn off. I actually spit out one piece because it just wouldn't dissolve. I don't think I've ever had stale seaweed before. Next time I'll try something different to eat to give the restaurant a fair chance.
