I've been here multiple times and rate this restaurant 3.5. You can't really go wrong with rice/pasta served on a sizzling plate topped with ingredients. Compared to Pepper Lunch, it's really lacking that punch in the sauce. I noticed they've been increasing their prices too. But overall, still a decent meal and experience. I usually stick with the Supreme beef rice but I've tried the Mentaiko spicy udon and it was quite good. Make sure to add garlic with your rice order! Also, the staff here are always so friendly and (side note: floor always so slippery- be careful when bringing seniors or pregnant moms here).
