Food is always amazing here. Ingredients are fresh and the food is always quickly devoured. I just wish the curry scrambled rice had more curry especially with the fried chicken. Staff always try to be helpful. Bookings not necessary but essential on weekends.

The curry udon is just ok. The texture of udon is too soft. I suppose the restaurant will use high quality frozen udon, the udon should be chewy/ al dente. The matcha latte is not hot enough, just warm only. Not really good.

It’s a small cafe however the food is fantastic. It’s found on our neighbourhood. Went there twice in a week. Authentic Japanese food. Love their coffee too.
