"This newish entry in Lakeview is a prime destination for Japanese-style fried pork cutlets. The quality of the pork, the crispiness of the breading, and the seasoning are all top-notch with the katsu, and the black curry is a treat that’s not easily found around town. This fast-casual spot is decorated with Japanese baseball gear, and is not too far from Wrigley Field." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
