This is authentic Japanese. Definitely try bento boxes and Katsudon! Toyota execs make the drive from Princeton for lunch!
I was looking for something a little different on the north side of Evansville. They came up in my search with really good reviews. When you walk in, you will forget that you are in southern Indiana. Everything about this restaurant is authentic small town Japan. I have eaten there twice now. Just doing the Miso soup and a simple roll each time (Spicy tuna and crunchy spicy tuna). They were both excellent and the service is great and the pricing reasonable.
The food and atmosphere was wonderful. I would have given 5 stars except the service was slow due to it being busy. I look forward to trying it again when the restaurant is not so busy so that it does not turn into another three hour dinner. The servers were nice they were just too busy.
Went with a small group and truthfully was not sure what to expect. But wow, the food there was incredible. I had the Gyūdon with a bowl of clear onion soup, salad, and an order of Iwataya rolls. Everyone enjoyed their food and loved the grocery store right next door. I will definitely be going back.
