Okaeri Cafe

Previous visits were great. Didn't even get to taste the food this time as we went and ordered with my sister. Asked for a pork yakisoba for my daughter that I'd share. They brought it my sisters food hadn't taken the table number as we assumed they took the order properly and we were still waiting on the yakisoba only to find out that they hadn't even taken that as the order. My daughter and I were very upset since she was very hungry. We left a previous location to come eat here. Tried getting and soft serve ice cream for her only for it to take a minimum of 10 minutes to be ready. Worst experience I've had here wasn't even very busy.

Everything was very nice. When we went, it was a bit busy. There are only a few tables and 3 sitting areas. Quit a few people where sitting and chatting taking up tables. While I understand the why, there isn't enough seating for this. Definitely eat and move on kinda space. However, others seemed to get the hint when they saw others waiting and would leave. The staff was friendly and the food was hot and very fresh. Everything was very yummy, and the curry was a highlight. Very cute place to try Japanese food if you haven't before.

Bland food, overpriced, and workers don't really say much.. The only good thing about this place is the atmosphere and the visual aesthetic of the food🤷🏻‍♀️

Wonderful experience with a super great staff.

We tried the gyoza, chicken curry, and cheesecake for food. All were very tasty.

We got a salted caramel cold brew and a pandan cold brew. I liked the pandan more but both were very good.

The Coconut Matcha Cold Foam drink was unique. It reminded me of the slightly sour taste of fresh coconut juice I once had in the Maldives, blending beautifully with the matcha foam. Aside from the foam, the drink itself wasn’t very sweet, which I actually enjoyed.

The potato croquette was excellently made—served hot and crispy on the outside, with a filling so smooth and soft that even a baby could eat it.

The curry had a mild kick of spice, and the potatoes and carrots were tender, as if they had been simmered for a long time. It came with a pork cutlet that was thick, perfectly cooked, and seasoned simply with what seemed like just pepper, giving it a clean, savory flavor. The cutlet was also nicely crispy. Pink pickled ginger was served on top, though I personally would have preferred it on a separate dish.

For dessert, I tried a pineapple matcha ice cream, which was an intriguing combination. The slight bitterness of matcha was wrapped in the sweetness of pineapple, and the icy, crunchy texture of the ice cream was delightful.

The staff were friendly, and there’s a cozy area with floor seating that made the atmosphere both comfortable and fun.

Incredible spot overall, vibes immaculate, coffee is delicious, food is scrumptious and the people are attentive and helpful! By the way I've been a regular for 6 months+ the spam onigirazu and the white mocha lavander are a MUST TRY.

The cashier, Matthew I believe his name was, is the only reason for the third star. He was very nice. The atmosphere was neat, but not much seating. The biggest problem was the food. The noodles were dry and tasted old like they had been sitting out. The pork in that dish was also dry and chewy. The curry tasted more like Indian curry also.
The drinks were pretty good at least! Overall the price was over 50$ for mediocre food and we probably won't be back.

The staff is very kind, especially Matthew, his relaxed attitude really added to the relaxed environment. The food was delicious as well! And the summer drink menu is also super tasty. Highly recommend!

My foodie folks said this place is known for their soft serve ice cream. There are pineapple, swirl, and matcha ice cream. My sister and I got the swirl while my husband got the matcha.

If you are not a fan of anything with tartness, then get the matcha soft serve. I like to try both so I got the swirl. The tartness of pineapple dominated the matcha to me but I still like the swirl because it balances out with the sweetness well and I love anything with pineapple. The matcha soft serve alone has a strong green tea flavor and subtle sweetness.

I will have to come back with my kids next time. My daughter would love the matcha soft serve here. My little man doesn't like anything with pineapple, doesn't like matcha because his sister likes it, he just likes anything chocolate. 😂

Notes: Friendly customer service and the atmosphere has a cute decor and a cozy atmosphere.
