We chose this restro for dinner because the Korean fried chicken place opposite had long queues, so we decided to give this a try. There are some food props outside which shows dishes in very good shape. However when it came it turns out quite different, i ordered the cheese Katsu udon set meal that came with takoyaki. When it came the bowl was super huge but there wasn’t that much inside, even with the sides it wasn’t too filling. We ended up having another dinner/dessert elsewhere afterwards.

Visited on Sunday afternoon around 3pm+. Pork Toji & Nabeyaki udon was so-so. Omu rice could have been better with stronger tomato flavor. Probably won’t visit again. Witnessed one of the female staff was only able to converse in Chinese even though one group of customers continuously tried to speak to her in English. The other female stuff was using her phone most of the time even though there are customers… Not sure about the work culture here to comment further.

TLDR: Decided to give this outlet a chance given the mixed reviews. Thoroughly regretted my choice. Food for ants, with restaurant prices to match. Paid $19 for my set meal, sat in hunger for 30 minutes amidst an average crowd, only to be served with this miserable portion of tomyam udon they call a meal. Literally finished this serving of udon within 3 mouthfuls. A staff even assured me that this was the normal portion served to customers. Will never come back here again and I highly recommend you to avoid this like place... Unless you're really hungry AND you're willing to pay $20 to stay hungry. Plus point? I guess that food is edible and staff are polite.

Chicken omu rice is $11.90. Pork omu rice is $12.90. Combo (chicken and pork) omu rice is $13.90. So you would expect combo to be chicken omu rice and then add some pieces of pork or vice versa… (refer to photo). Wait until you see the waiter serving another table their chicken-only or pork-only omu rice! The portion is much much more than what you get with the more expensive combo! So skip combo if you have the same logical mind like mine! Disgusted so today’s visit will be my last there.
