Tried the deluxe (pork, shrimp and scallop) and the curry katsu and both were delicious. The service was also great and I felt like I was back in Japan. ### joycieee — 5.0/5 · Aug 22, 2025 Their katsu is outstanding! The crispy, golden-brown katsu is perfectly fried to achieve a satisfying crunch, while the inside remains juicy and tender. Whether served as a classic katsudon or smothered in rich Japanese curry, the katsu delivers a perfect balance of texture and taste. The fried octopus is also a must-try! Each piece is incredibly juicy with a delightfully. ### joycieee — 5.0/5 · Mar 8, 2026 Nice place to have lunch with friends ### hi.joanieee — 4.3/5 · Mar 6, 2025 The food here is very close to what you’ll get in Japan! The staff here are super nice. Great dinner menu. Small space ### user_c17c27 — 5.0/5 · Aug 14, 2025 Food: We got the sashimi platter, which was definitely the highlight of the meal. All the fish selections were very fresh and the cuts were premium quality. The katsu was great, but we thought the portion size for the price was a bit pricy compared to other places. The matcha tiramisu dessert was also very decadent and not too sweet! ### mallanghaku — 5.0/5 · Aug 13, 2025 EE Nami at Clairemont❣️ One of the best Katsu place in SD❣️ ### moni.chan — 5.0/5 · Jul 14, 2025 their katsu is soo good!
