Been here a couple of times already and the service never failed. Even came here during the Cherry Blossom Festival and the staff were still friendly / accommodating. They even put a spicy sauce on the side of one of the katsu plates when we mentioned that my dad couldn't handle all that haha. This cozy spot mainly focuses on katsu plates, but I like how they had off menu or specials to choose from if you'd like another option. I will say though them katsu plates were just chef's kiss. The meat is pounded thin enough where it's still juicy and tender, but doesn't affect the exterior from being crunchy and a bit flaky. Nothing was dry here yallll! I also like how it already comes with miso soup and salad. Huge fan of that Hamachi Truffle special though. Think of a citrusy flavor from the ponzu, fresh fish, a bit of micro greens, and a thin slice of jalapeño that just ~works~ on a cute wooden spoon that you want to steal I could honestly eat like 5 spoons of this. I'd skip on the calamari as it was kind of skimpy to share with a large group. Only note was that their fried katsu curry was a bit underwhelming with having more slices of carrots than potato! Would love to come back if I am ever in the area.

The miso soup was a delicious way to start the meal, and when my katsu arrived, it looked amazing. The meat was hot, tender, and the portion was huge, so I definitely left full. My only suggestion is to ask for the curry on the side if you like your katsu extra crispy. I had the curry poured over it, and the breading got soggy pretty quickly. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the price. My dish was around $30, which felt a little expensive, although I can understand it given the quality of the meat and generous portions. Overall, it's a great place if you're craving katsu, and I'd definitely come back--just with the curry on the side next time!

We really enjoyed the Ragu and butternut squash ravioli. You can tell they put a lot of love into their homemade pasta. The flavors were excellent. The Saltimbocca on the other hand was miserable. Flavorless, skinny, overcooked gray meat with sad pink strips of prosciutto on top. Just looking at it was not pleasant.

The pizza was outstanding--perfectly cooked with fresh, high-quality ingredients--and the lasagna was easily one of the best I've ever had.

A special thank you to Salvatore, our server, whose recommendations were absolutely perfect and matched our tastes beautifully. If you're visiting San Francisco, make sure to spend some time in Little Italy and don't miss Piccolo Forno. It's a charming, authentic Italian restaurant that delivers wonderful food, outstanding hospitality, and an experience you'll remember long after your meal.

Leaving would make a fun side trip too, great to take someone to see the cityscape. And, to top off the lunch we were treated to the most delicious ice cream swirl treat! Thanks for making our day!

I would definitely come back when I'm in the area to try the other dishes and to see how the vibe is on a normal day.

Solid, refreshing drink. Not just for the visuals. Would get it again. Plus, their lil storefront is a perfect spot to sip n chill on a nice day.

The army stew was not too salty and warmed us up! The soy garlic chicken was not overly sweet and was crispy too. The spicy pork was good but there were a few pieces that was chewy. It wasn't that spicy though but it still tasted good. The creamy pasta and tteok was good too and lived up to its name. I did find that the tteok was chewier than normally, but my partner said it was fine so to each their own. Will probably come back for a third visit!

We stopped in after the Valkyries game based on the reviews, and it matched expectations. We ordered the seafood pancake, the half-and-half chicken wings, and the spicy pork belly. Portions were generous and easily enough food for three to four people. Banchan were negligible. One thing that stood out was how sweet many of the dishes were. If you're coming in expecting bold heat, just know the flavors lean noticeably sweeter than the menu descriptions might suggest. Overall, it was a perfectly decent meal at a fair price in a convenient part of Polk Street. I'd be happy to come back if I were in the area, though it probably wouldn't be my first choice if I were specifically craving Korean food.
