Nous sommes allé lundi soir & franchement c'était parfait !
La musique était très bien choisi!
Mon amie a prit le poulet katsu sur du riz, ça venait avec des dumplings ! C'était très bon ! Étrange un peu avec le ketchup mais étonnamment un très bon mélange !
Perso, j'ai pris le gyudon, c'était intéressant, très different d'un gyudon normal avec les oignons caramélisé, mais bon goût, la texture pour moi était un peu difficile à apprécier à mon goût.
Le service de la serveuse était exemplaire, elle a répondu à toute nos questions, nos requêtes & autre! Belle ambiance 🥰🫶 Merci 🫶

Ramen is good & they offer student discount! I wonder if they will put the previous dessert (matcha with red bean, sticky rice ball) back to the menu?
