Great place to grab snacks or food. It’s been years since I’ve traveled to Japan and it was cool seeing drinks, snacks and ramen that I was eating in Japan. I ordered some food here it was great. I ordered the Gyu Don and Mackerel Bento. Average plate is 8 great price’s. I highly recommend this place. Prices for the snack might be a little elevated but they are legit snacks from Japan. Check this spot out!

The highly rated reviews are well deserved. The food is delicious, comes relatively quickly, and is authentic. I’ve been to Japan several times, this food is amazing and the price is phenomenal, I’ve driven past this place several times and now I regret it.

This place is so quick and delicious. You get a good amount of food for the price! My favorite is the Gyudon with extra ginger. The yakisoba is pretty good as well, if you want noodles. There is limited seating outside. This cute little place is best for takeout orders or maybe picnics.

Authentic Japanese in house Bento (boxed lunches) & authentic Japanese Konbini (convenience store) with fresh daily bentos lunches and dinners. Pick up Japanese noodles, drinks, snacks and dessert treats as well. There are 2 microwaves and an hot water dispenser for convenience store side dishes you may pick up in addition to your take out food. Our bento's were made fresh and this was an absolute treat! The tako yaki, katsudon, Amagari don, and Miso Saba bento were delicious! I lived in Japan for 11 years and this has to be one of the best if not the best Japanese mom and pop style convenience stores on the East Coast of the USA!

Food tasted was great. Tasted authentic and fresh. At first glance I thought the protein portions could be a bit bigger. But given inflation and downtown area being expensive it was still a good deal. I got a spicy beef bowl and onigiri for 12.93.

A nice hidden gem in Columbia! It’s similar to a Japanese convenience store with plenty of snack options. They also make Bentos, rice balls, and some really delicious simple sushi at a great price for a filling lunch/dinner. I love coming here and none of the food I’ve gotten has disappointed and the owner is such a sweetheart

I ordered the yakiniku bento. It was absolutely amazing. The beef was tender and perfectly savory. The woman who rang up the order was friendly and kind. Highly recommend this place!
