Did Takeout via UberEats. Got the Omurice based off social media hype. was it good? sure. But nothing amazing and doesnt justify the $25 price tag in my opinion. The fried rice was very Manchu Wok/food court - was expecting a bit better. Super soysauce - I dont think there was any chicken despite it being described as chicken fried rice... I dunno guys, it wasnt bad, but nothing spectacular either

We were first drawn in by the vibe of this bar-restaurant while walking around in JT during lunch time, and the Google reviews really helped us decide what to order.

The grilled shishito peppers and karaage with kaeshi were surprisingly delicious 😋 — simple dishes, but full of flavor and perfectly done. Definitely worth a try!

Cozy atmosphere with nice wall art and decorative merchandise. Staff were friendly and attentive. They offer different daily specials, which is a nice touch.

I had the shrimp stir-fry udon: good flavor, though slightly oily for my taste. The restaurant wasn’t busy, but the wait time for food was longer than expected.

Overall a good experience, would come back to try other dishes.
