About

This Japanese kushiage and kushikatsu spot specializes in deep-fried meat and vegetable skewers with a casual bar atmosphere featuring a car/van centerpiece that draws families with kids. It offers a small number of vegan appetizers such as deep-fried vegetables and rice balls, but several reviews warn that animal oil is often used for frying and some supposedly vegan dishes contain fish or fish-based ingredients. Prices are reasonable, and the staff are generally friendly despite occasional language barriers. Recent feedback points to cleanliness and translation issues that may affect the dining experience.
