Their egg sandwiches are so perfectly cooked. I could eat them every day if they were down the block from my place. The sukiyaki was a tad too sweet after a few slurps and it could've used a few more pieces of beef. Tempura was nicely cooked, but held a little too much oil. I'd definitely go back for more sandwiches and to try the other dishes.

The sandwiches look good and a lot selection of okinmayki (Japanese pancakes). Very yummy and will DEFINITELY be back.
We planned to visit Konbini NY last year for its egg sandwiches when they opened. However, we didn’t get a chance due to the limited serving time before 4pm. The decor was adorable with colors and illustrations on the wall. Their service was nice but reluctant due to low staffing. We had their Mentaiko Mozzarella Eggbini and Cheese Tonkatsu to share with latte from Devocion which is one of my favorites & matcha latte. Their food was decent and the egg sandwich was a surprise that the egg was super soft & creamy. The Tonkatsu was cheesy and satisfying but kind of greasy. The options on their menu were various and we would like to try Udon and Donburi Bowl next time.
Ever since they officially opened toward the end of 2019, I have been wanting to visit Konbini. It is located in K-Town, so I had a feeling that this was not really Japanese owned/operated, and I was right... Since it is still during the pandemic, they had some outdoor seating, and some limited indoor seating. The menu looked really great, mostly what you might see in some casual restaurants in Japan. We asked for the Hot Coffee with milk, and we received coffee without milk, so we had to ask for it again… Once we poured the milk in there, we realized we didn’t get anything to stir with…so we used our fork. They need to do a bit better job with the way they serve coffee. We were very hungry, so, we decided to order two individual dishes, and one set menu. We ordered Mentaiko Mozzarella Eggbini, Butadon, and Cheese Tonkatsu Set. The eggbini was somewhat smaller than I've seen in photos, but maybe because of the choice of filling? It was cheesy and melty, very spicy, but so very flavorful. The Butadon was really amazing and very filling! Cheese Tonkatsu Set came with sesame seeds in a traditional-looking mortar and pestle. I thought it was really cool! They were freshly fried, yet not greasy. A great portion to make you full and satisfied. We were super full after trying three of their dishes, much more than expected. Their portion is great! The staffs here are not the most friendly people, nor most efficient, but courteous, and seems to be hard to workers. We were very happy with our orders, I would like to try some other menu items in a future!
When I entered Konbini, the employees were talking for a long time. I was carrying two heavy bags and waited for them in respect of the covid dining rules. I had the longest day working and just wanted to sit down. The male worker saw me, but ignored me for a while when finally the waitress stopped talking and turned around. She sat me at the first table where it was freezing even though all of the other tables were empty. I ignored it because I just needed to eat something and get out. I had the food which was okay, but not as great as I hoped. A little greasy and the only flavor was the sauce. When the bill came, it was 13.07. I was below the card limit so I paid with the only money I had left which was 13.25. When I was about to leave, I decided to see if I could ask the waitress if I could give a tip through card or some other way, but before I could do that she just said I didn't leave a tip. I explained my situation that that was all the money I had and I can give a tip if she wants through card. She then started to lecture me about thinking about tip before I pay or buy something and said, \just give me your card\. I stayed calm throughout the situation although she kept lecturing and insulting me in front of the other customer waiting to pick up. She then charged me again and I added in a good tip because that was what I was intending to do from the beginning before she started arguing with me. She took the bill and I waited for her to come back with the cash. I waited for ten minutes, standing, and watching when she'd come back. She ignored me and then came back asking me what I was doing. I told her she never gave me back the cash. She looked at me like I was insane and then acted like she suddenly remembered. How is she doesn't forget to start a fight about a tip, but forgets that she pocked the money I paid earlier? She came back after another seven minutes with my cash and was still rude as I was leaving.
