Humble, quiet, independently-owned spot. Nothing fancy but cozy, traditional home-cooking! It's run by one older gentleman named Kei on his own. When I went, it was empty, and he shuffled out to meet me. If he doesn't come out to instantly greet you, he is cooking an order at the back. People who frequent seem to know all this and seat themselves patiently.

Can enjoy some ramen while watching life float by the window. Come support Kei and Cho-Ko!

A small dingy local shop run by one man, be patient for your food. I rated 3 stars solely on food quality- I ordered the summer soba and was pretty disappointed.
