Food: Good value, decent taste

The specialty here is Menkoi Ramen, boasting a rich, flavorful broth and the perfectly cooked noodles are talked about. The Mini Karaage Chicken Bowl never fails to delight with its juicy, crispy chicken chunks. There's also a flare of pleasure in their takoyaki. The taste experience might not blow your mind, but for the generous portions and decent value, it's a pretty fair deal. Although, the overwhelming number of options might leave you slightly discombobulated.

  • Great Value

  • Okay Taste

    Taste 'decent,' some inconsistency, but overall satisfactory experiences.

  • Bad Variety

    Overwhelming amount of options can slightly dilute the dining experience.

Vibe: Inviting abode, awful music

Stepping inside, there is a sense of peacefulness that takes over you with a beautifully inviting and modern interior. However, this serenity is often disrupted by questionable music selection and volume. It's like visiting a zen garden which suddenly starts playing punk rock.

  • Great Ambiance

    Peaceful, relaxing ambiance with beautifully inviting and modern interior.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Music selection and volume possibly deterred potential customers.

Perks: Tedious parking, below par service

The restaurant has some major downsides when it comes to perks. The parking situation in the village tends to be a test of patience during peak times. On top of that, the service often leaves customers feeling overlooked, potentially because of the size of the location hindering timely service. Add to that, the absence of patio dining feels like a missed opportunity.

  • Great For Diets

    Veg options available and really good, catering to dietary needs.

  • Bad Service

    Service often criticized for being slow, unattentive, and having rude staff.
