Ça faisait longtemps que ce restaurant de tout juste 14 sièges était sur notre liste à essayer. Vendredi dernier, alors que nous avions tous les deux du temps libre, on a donc saisi notre chance. & visiblement, nous n'étions pas les seuls à avoir eu cette idée : quelques minutes seulement après l'ouverture, il ne restait déjà que quelques places.
.
On s'est installés au comptoir, un emplacement de choix pour observer le travail en cuisine. 👀 En parcourant le petit menu, les plats défilaient sous nos yeux pendant que les premiers clients étaient servis. Comme plusieurs préparations sont servies froides, ou plutôt fraîches, le service est efficace & les assiettes s'enchaînent rapidement.
.
& surtout… tout ce qu'on a choisi était délicieux! 🤤
.
🍜 Nouilles udon - plat frais, légèrement sucrées, avec une belle texture
.
🥢 Okonomiyaki moitié-moitié - wow! Vraiment, vraiment bon!
.
🍙 Onigiri au thon - bien équilibré, tout en simplicité
.
🐷 Flanc de porc - chaud, tendre & savoureux
.
🍋 Limonade au yuzu - juste parfaite & tellement rafraîchissante!

Michelin core by Alo (🇲🇽) 🌸review.
🍴Taste 👅 (a.k.a. Flavor Bomb 💥): STROOOOONG
📸Presentation ✨: cute aesthetic
🧿Vibe check/Atmosphere 🪩: homelike, small, intimate
🕰? Waiting time drama: Biblical, Moses crossed the dessert faster. BUT worth it
👀 Staff Energy: sweet but slightly caotic
💸 Value for Money: WORTH IT. 100% returning
🐼 Random Magic Factor (RMF): udon tastes same as Japan one, also the onigiri 🍙. Okonomiyaki tastes like Osaka. Yuzu lemonade for sour lovers.
Other comment: dreaming for that UDON 🍜 again.

Une magnifique découverte sur la rue Rachel. Tout était absolument délicieux & préparé avec un soin remarquable.

Leokonomiyaki, servi sur un plateau en bois, était visuellement superbe & parfaitement assaisonné. J'ai aussi beaucoup apprécié la présentation fine des aubergines dans leur petit bol à motifs.

Chaque assiette était un vrai plaisir pour les yeux comme pour le palais. C'est une adresse incontournable pour ceux qui recherchent de la qualité & une belle finesse dans les plats.

Très bon, un peu d'attente pour avoir une place car le resto n'est pas grand.
