Japanese Karaage stand in Sawtelle. If you check in on Yelp, you can get an extra sauce. We tried the house sauce, aioli, and ranch - all were good, but the aioli was the favorite. We split the Karaage as a light dinner/heavy snack, as well as small fries. The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist in the inside. It came piping hot and we ate at the outside seating (indoor seating not available). They packaged the food in to-go containers and it seems to primarily operate as a takeout spot. Metered street parking available. Credit cards accepted.

This tastes EXACTLY like the Cajun chicken little from Cheesecake Factory and I am here for it. I got the curry and it was very good. The food comes out hot and fresh and has great overall flavor. The vibe is also cool cause it’s this little shake that plays cool music. There is also never a wait for this place which is weird but I’m not complaining. Good food but nothing mind blowing.

Solid fried chicken! Really juicy and flavorful and the aoli dipping sauce is great. My cat wanted some too 😁

Tasty fried chicken better known as karaage in Japanese. The crust is very flavorful with seasoning. I like the karaage burger best with the jalapeño ranch aioli. Fries are seasoned. What is really great is that there is ample parking in the lot next door, which is really key in the Sawtelle neighborhood.

A low-key, no nonsense shop serving up some of the best curry I've had in my life. So good that I ate here twice before leaving LA. Do yourself a favor and pick up their Karaage & Curry with a 5 piece to go. You won't regret it.

I've been meaning to try this chicken since late 2019 and I finally had an opportunity yesterday afternoon. The only reason I did is because the local Udon place was packed and I didn't feel like waiting or eating around too many people at the time. The chicken is great and has its own unique flavor compared to other karaage I've had in my lifetime. I love the location and how it's tucked away from all the other eateries in Sawtelle Japantown. The eating area is also nice and peaceful. I will definitely be back to try the burgers and dogs in the future. 🍛

I liked their curry and karaage dish; worth for the price. There's even parking in the back. If you've been to Sawtelle, you know how the parking situation is like.

Karaage city! Great reputation well deserved. Tiny storefront perfect for takeout, but fried chicken is better fresh from the fryer. 🍋 I love to max out lemon and ponzu but that is my prefrenece. The creamy sauces are too much with fried foods IMHO. Curry is pretty good too, but the chicken... The chicken is why you drive all this way to the Westside! Service is prompt no fuss easy going.
