| - After reading the reviews here I was excited to try this place out - but when I got to the café, my initial impression was... Huh? It was a small and simple place, with a fairly small menu and seeing as I didn't really want anything they had to offer, I thought this was one of those places with overinflated reviews. But I made the journey here, so I had to take the plunge - and I'm glad I did.
I ordered the hamburger steak for takeout and every single piece of the meal was individually boxed in containers to avoid a mess. It might not be super friendly for the environment, but I did appreciate it. The salad was whatever, and the ketchup fried rice was bland, but the main part, the hamburger, was delicious - juicy, meaty, and the sauce wasn't too overpowering but really brought out the umami of the meat. I am a big fan of hamburger steaks and this one did not disappoint. I also ordered a chicken karaage, but found it to taste bitter for some reason, I probably wouldn't get it again. My friend ordered the gyu-don and said it was just ok, but I didn't try it myself so I can't properly judge.
The service was friendly and quick, and the hamburger itself was quite good so I would probably make the trip back here again. Their menu selection isn't all that impressive to me, but perhaps I shouldn't judge a restaurant by its menu? Given the high ratings this place received, I should probably give some of the other dishes a try - maybe it'll surprise me like this hamburger steak did. It also looks like they have a better brunch menu so perhaps I should come back for that.
