Their resto has a lot of decorations of one piece and other classic old anime, reminding me of some of my favourite childhood shows. Also, their menu has a lot of tempting options like skewers and set meals. This time, I tried:

厚燒玉子 Thick roasted tamagoyaki They are so fulfilling and soft, I loved it! It is more on the sweet side but I loved every bite of it.

大阪燒 Okonomiyaki This is so satisfying with all the fillings, sauces and flakes on top! Totally kept going back for more bites. It is quite filling, perfect to share between two or three people.

香烤雞扒定食 Grilled Chicken Set meal Oh, the chicken was nicely grilled! For the set meals, you could add $10 HKD to change to a soup udon/‘cat rice’/tea rice, which we changed it to soup udon. The soup udon was topped with seaweed, quite nice in combination with the chicken. The set meal also comes with appetizers, hot tea, miso soup, it is quite a big spread!

招牌蒲燒鰻魚定食 Signature Kabayaki eel set meal The eel was cooked perfectly and covered with a yummy sauce. I kept going back for more. We upgraded the rice to their signature ‘cat rice’. It was a mixture of rice with butter, soy sauce and other ingredients, it was worth a try!

Their price range is between $70-100 for a set meal (that is quite big portion), it is quite cheap! Come have some yummy Japanese food! Thank you for the yummy food and the great...

Childhood Restaurant, an anime-themed Izakaya, immerses guests in nostalgia with its collection of figures and artwork. Signature dishes include the Hida Wagyu Beef Croquettes, crispy and flavorful with a blend of mashed potatoes and wagyu beef.

排咗20分鐘，準備有位入座的時候，有三個新來的人，店員見到三位，立即安排位置給他們，跟我們說等多10分鐘。我理解香港位置很少，但可否用一個更好的方法去處理？譬如解釋一下，而不是直接叫我們等多10分鐘。

最終我們等了10分鐘後，被安排入座。我開睇Menu，3分鐘左右，同一個店員走過來話，用餐時間只有1小時你們快啲order。我心諗係咪黐咗線？我用半個鐘時間等入座，中間冇催你，而且接受咗唔公平嘅入座安排，但我用3分鐘看Menu都俾你催落單。成個晚餐過程，非常難受，店員態度非常惡劣。全程黑面。如果可以的話，店舖應該要給予店員重新的training。食物正常，樓面店員非常惡劣。

After queuing for about 20 minutes for a table for 2, suddenly a group of 3 came up. They told a waiter “a table for 3”. The waiter immediately assigned them a table which was supposed to be ready for us since someone just finished their meals. I was shocked, although I understand time and space are expensive in Hong Kong, they would serve as many customers as they can. Can't he explains more instead of asking me like “you two right? Wait for about 10 more minutes.”?

Anyways, after additional 10 minutes, we got a table eventually. I started reading the food menu for about 2 or 3 minutes. The same waiter came up and told me like “you have only an hour here, so choose the food and order them quickly”. I was shocked again. I thought I might finally enjoy my dinner after waiting for 20 mins plus 10 mins extra waiting time without rushing anyone and accepting the arrangement of allowing people jump into the line. Now, you told me I spent 3 mins which is too much time on reading the menus and choosing the food!? It was so rude to me. Unacceptable, really.

The last thing I would say to the waiter is. Please just tell us early if we aren’t welcome, we wouldn’t get into the restaurant. We would haven't gotten into it. To be honest, the food wasn’t bad, but the waiter are. Think carefully before...
