    Late-working diners and night owls can rely on a dedicated dinner spot serving full meals well into the night.

  • Chicken Katsu Curry Rice

    We have ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice and Miso soup, it comes with TWOOOO Chicken Katsu with just $17.9, it’s crazy cheap for such amount. On top of that, it taste magnificent, the crust on the chicken matched perfectly with the soft meat, just like the one in Japan.
