Reviews
their green tea is bright in color and is super smooth. it’s not bitter after seeped in water for a while compared to the higher grade green teas i own. the matcha tea and latte are great as well- both vibrant green and a perfect level of sweetness. the matcha used is very good quality & remind me of the matcha i had in japan :,)
as for food- i haven’t tried much of the options yet but the spicy salmon, tuna, shiitake onigiri is yummy and rice usually fresh and soft. also the taiyaki and other deserts are light, not too sweet
overall, i’d definitely recommend! the workers are kind and super attentive. there’s a very detailed list of allergens which was so helpful for me, and my sibling who has allergies to wheat (no soy sauce), among other restrictions
Also, this is the most comfortable stool I have ever sat on: memory foam AND a back. Delightful.
I tried the Omurice. The server brings it out to you and cuts it open as well, resulting in the signature pour seen with omurice. I thought the dish was very good, not much to elevate it but the sauce included tastes decent with it.
I also tried the original omurice, which was pretty good as well. It only includes ketchup as a sauce, but the included meat and rice was good.
We also tried the onigiri, which had good portions and was affordable for what they offered.
Not sure if the price will change when they do open, but the prices here lean a bit cheaper than other places, and the portion size here is decent.
I definitely will want to try and go back once the restaurant opens.
To start off with the positives, I thought the atmosphere and seating were nice. The restaurant was bright, clean, and had lots of seating. It seemed like a good place to study. The customer service was also very attentive and fast.
The menu is a varied offering a mix of Japanese cuisine from ramen to onigiri, but I came here for the omurice. I chose the classic omurice without the sauce. Maybe the sauce option would have been better because I thought the classic omurice was bland with very little seasoning, the eggs weren’t very fluffy, and there was barely any pieces of chicken.
I also got the barley tea which was ok, not the best i’ve had (but for $2 it was good).
I’m not sure if this was an off day or an off dish, but I’d recommend trying something else on their menu. The customer service and atmosphere is definitely there, but my food today left some to be desired.
