Women serving here are probably ninjas under disguise because I saw one of them catching a falling dish mid-air - nobody noticed - that's how fast she was to prevent a catastrophe.
Food was good and variety of choice was alright - for the price, good place to eat.
This place felt like a compomise of my home and Japan. These first days in Japan have been awkward for me because every restaurant is a bit weird. In this place however, I open the door and I am greeted by a long line of different alcoholic drinks right in front of me. Ordering different alcohol cocktails always feels a bit awkward in Japan because it's unclear what's available and what's ok to order. This place just sets all spirits on the bar - awesome.
Draft beer by default is given in small glasses but I accept it - not every country is beer country.
Both women serving are very attentive and nice even if they don't speak English - when I ordered items from one of them passing by, the other had heard while doing something else and prepared the order. I enjoy this silent form of communication. Could also be due to them being secretly ninjas.
Interior, while aged, seemed generally clean and well kept - much better than some more established affordable chains in Tokyo. Also space section for one person is more than in your average self-service place which was welcome by me due to width of my shoulders.
I certainly would love to visit again as I felt more safe and better taken care of than in many...

The staff is friendly, professional, and ready to help despite my very limited Japanese and their very limited English. A translator app is vital when traveling Japan. It's common there that most people do not know English. Still, they did a great job.
The prices are also reasonable, even better than I expected. But that was true all over Japan during my visit. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. While it's nice to try local cuisine on travels around the world, sometimes you just crave something familiar...
Read moreThis restaurant's value is outstanding!
The prices are all very reasonable, maybe even cheap. But the quantities are quite large.
Everything is also delicious; the chicken they are famous for is juicy and well seasoned, however, please note it can take ~40 to prepare the half or full chicken.
If you're in the area, I really recommend this place, as the quality and value of the food truly...
