I would give a 3.9 at best. The whole thing was underwhelming. The deco is cute & interesting but the seating is a bit uncomfortable.
The food is what made it especially underwhelming. It lacked a bit of flavour or anything interesting really, but it was still descent. The server forgot to bring our dessert & by the time we were done with the food we just decided to call it a day.
The drinks are great though.

Although the place looked very cozy & pleasant to dine in, the overall experience was mid for me.

I came here to eat on a Saturday night. The place was very quiet & only had two customers when I arrived with my friend. The atmosphere was really relaxed, the decorations nicely put together, & the ambiance very warm & cozy.

The menu was also excellent, & I liked that they were able to offer customers a wide variety of selections, ranging from appetizers to cold & hot dishes, from rice to noodles, to desserts & drinks. The prices were also reasonable & fairly priced in this economy. We especially liked our desserts, which were the panna cotta flan & the hojicha tiramisu, not too sweet & a perfect balance for people who have a sweet tooth.

However, I'd like to say that the service was quite disappointing & really slow for a Saturday night. The server never came once to our table to ask how we were feeling, if the food was delicious, or even to fill up our cups. He even mixed up our bill for our meal when it was time to pay. I disliked the fact that he took way too much time to notice (eight minutes) that we were finished & wanted to pay to leave. Also, minus one point for the bathroom because it stank a little bit, though it was clean (might consider purchasing an air freshener).
