I ordered their chicken yakisoba and karaage. The yakisoba was alright but it was more salty than anything else. The karaage tasted strange - like it definitely could’ve been fried a little longer because it was a strange mushy texture while chewing it. I probably would order from them again if I was in the mood for yakisoba but that’s a big if.
