Highly recommend the Tonkatsu Curry Carbonara. If you're on the fence, not sure how carbonara and curry will be together, push yourself to give it a try. It is one of those meals that leaves you thinking about it for weeks on end!

I really liked the gyosagna - it was the perfect blend of cheesy lasagna and gyoza flavours. There was also a katsu curry carbonara special that we tried; the pasta was cooked really well and the flavours came together nicely.

We tried the Momos, Hakata Tonkotsu “Red & Black” and the Bucatini with Wagyu Meat Sauce. It was good. We then tried the Nutella Basque Cheesecake and it was super good.
