AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
Crisp, golden kushikatsu shrimp emerges as the star, praised for its perfectly light, crunchy batter. The overall vibe is pure, unpretentious comfort, delivering a satisfyingly simple and delicious experience.
“The shrimp is butterfly cut and huge — it almost looks like a goose foot. It's like a shrimp dumpling deep fried, with a pocket of air inside that fills up with sauce. The shrimp is huge and meaty, cooked perfectly. Compared to tempura, kushikatsu has a denser, thicker, more rugged batter — hearty rather than light. This is a next level deep fried shrimp.”

The kushikatsu here is perfectly deep fried — extremely golden crispy, to the stage where if you waited a few more seconds they would be burnt, but they're perfectly crunchy instead. The batter is an egg batter dipped into panko breadcrumbs, making it extra crispy. Even when you dip it into the sauce, it still remains crispy. The shishito green pepper has a vibrant flavor underneath that crispy crust. The onion is sweet and crispy, like a Japanese onion ring but skewered. The lotus root is great with the sauce. The shiitake mushroom might be my favorite — it's like a sponge on top of a sponge that absorbs all that sauce. The sauce is a combination of soy sauce and worcestershire sauce, giving it a sourness, plus a little spice and seasoning — light, mellow, salty, a little sour, perfect harmony with the crispiness.
