I ordered Torikatsu (rice with chicken) & Steak rice (beef with cheese) & both were absolutely delicious. The chicken was tender & flavorful, & the beef was juicy & well-seasoned. Everything tasted fresh & perfectly cooked.
For dessert, I had black tea panna cotta, & it was so smooth & creamy - the perfect sweet ending to the meal.
The restaurant itself is warm & cozy, with cute decor that makes you feel relaxed & comfortable. Overall, great food, great atmosphere - I would definitely come back again!
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).
What an incredible vibe this place has! The service is not only quick but genuinely attentive, making you feel cared for from the moment you sit down. The food is crafted with clear intention & thought, with each element working in harmony. From the plating to the ASMR-worthy crunch of the Torikatsu. The Onigiri is an experience in itself, artfully balancing the sweet, buttery richness of its pastry with the bold depth of a curry beef filling. Must try before everyone else discovers this gem
Quaint & beautiful atmosphere with a wonderful ambiance. Owner was very sweet & thoughtful & the food was absolutely delicious & authentic.
