This place lives up to its good reviews. The food was delicious! And the owner was so friendly. We had a great meal and conversation. Will definitely return to this spot again.

After a long week, I was craving something that wasn't fried, filling, and comforting to the soul. The chicken and chili over yellow rice was absolutely phenomenal! It hit the spot and was one of the best meals I ate this past week! I bought the meal set that came with the fries and drink. The fries were also really good. Hot, fresh, and tasty. Even though I came a half hour before closing, the staff was kind and took care when preparing my meal. Since I had ordered to-go they packed the drink in a nice cup with a secure lid and in a plastic bag. The food container was also good. No spills on the bus, thankfully! I've been to the restaurant before and they've recently changed the layout and added new items to the menu. It looks really nice inside so maybe next time I'll eat in.

The sandwich was amazing and I’m not really a sandwich person. I got the Shrimp avocado and it was absolutely delicious and the fries were great too. If sausages are not your thing, they have different options to go in the bread. The only downside is like most places in Japan, it’s kinda small so might not accommodate a very large group. But it’s totally worth going!

This is my favorite place in Kumamoto. The food is great! Customer service is good and the owner is very friendly. I recommend this place. I mostly dine there but sometimes I get the food delivered. It’s a great restaurant! Everything on the menu is delicious! It reminds me of Caribbean food

Fantastic hot dog spot. Owner spent a number of years in New York. Loved the food. Came back to Japan and couldn't find any of the food he fell in love with, the result is One Five Dog. 1-5 is "ichi - go." Why? Becuase they also serve candy strawberries (ame Ichigo). The sausages are local sources pork sausage from a regional farmer. Lots choices for dogs and fries. Chili, cheese, pulled pork, plenty of toppings. We have been a few times so far and love chatting with the owner of he has time. Really friendly. So if you want to learn more about this place when you come, please ask him. They also have pulled pork meals but I haven't tried them yet. Only as a topping on my dog. I got the pulled pork mega dog the first time. And it's a freaking meal. It's so much food. It was good, but the second visit I got the BLT Dog. I don't event like normals BLT sandwichs but this was one of the best best hotdogs I ever had. So good. I'm pretty impartial to tomatoes, but it was just the right amount and complimented the flavors.

Delicious and simple American style food. The chicken and rice was great and had an option for a pretty hefty serving of chicken. The fried sandwich dessert was incredible too. Very nice staff.
