Tart, savory, no sauce needed. 9/10 🍡 Chicken Meatballs – Made fresh, tender and flavorful. 8/10 🍳 Tamagoyaki – Soft, fluffy, and delicious. 9/10 🍲 Oden – Hearty but a bit salty; veggies were soft. 6/10 🥘 Mini Sukiyaki Pot – Good ingredients, small portion, slightly salty. 6.5/10 A sweet, sincere spot perfect when you’re missing true Japanese comfort food.
