The place is a gem, the food delicious, and the coffee 10/10. I went with my wife and kids we tried the Teriyaki chicken and the onigiris with a cappuccino, my children had their boba tea, it was the best, the atmosphere is relaxing and they told us they have garden seats, I liked the good customer service!

Had the ramen, with underwhelming broth and slightly overcooked pork; the soy egg and fresh bok choi were very good though. The service was good and accommidating, no issues from them!

The biggest issue though is that everything was $2-$4 overpriced for the quality. If I were to return, I'd like to see slightly bigger portions and/or slightly cheaper prices. Either would satisfy my criticisms!
