great food
Nothing surprising to me ordered the curry half with soba was nothing special no meats and flavour was bland. Ramen with chicken karage was okay wasn’t wowed enough as I’ve been to much better. The miso ramen was also a meh. Service here was indeed fast and clean. Wouldn’t be returning tho
Nice food, feels like the usual home cooking in japanese family... neaty done.. yummy

Niwatei, located inside a supermarket, offers Japanese dishes like ramen, udon, curry, pork cutlet, and bento at reasonable prices. The half and half menu allows customers to enjoy two different items simultaneously, with takoyaki being a favorite. The restaurant has a cozy and authentic Japanese atmosphere similar to a backstreet restaurant from 20 years ago, despite some clutter. It is a Japanese home-style food court that emphasizes simple, well-made dishes such as ramen and curry. Portions are generous, and the food often tastes like Japanese home cooking. The Ultimate Curry Udon is a must-try for those with a big appetite, even though the curry can be a bit sour. The interior may be small with limited seating, so there might be a wait during busy times. The staff can sometimes be non-English speaking, which might be a challenge for some guests. The food is consistently good; tempura udon with large, tasty shrimp is highly recommended. Visitors often enjoy dishes like shrimp tempura and omurice in a casual environment. Despite some clutter and limited space, Niwatei remains a popular spot for quick, authentic Japanese cuisine, especially for those seeking a simple, satisfying meal.
