This is a sweet little restaurant. Very nice service. It’s run by a Thai staff, the chef/owner worked for some time in Japan, then returned home to open an authentic Japanese cafe/izakaya.
There’s a varied menu, we tried three items off the specials menu and then the grilled mackerel set.
First we tried the grilled shishamo (smelt). You eat the fish whole, bones and all. The fish were actually fried, very nice though there wasn’t any hint of the roe that’s traditionally inside the fish. It was served with a dollop of Kewpie mayo and Togarashi. I felt the fish could do without the mayonnaise (didn’t add anything to the flavor), but maybe should have been tossed with the 7 spice blend just after frying. But that’s just a matter of preference, the fish were tasty on their own with just a spritz of fresh lime.
Next we had the grilled (fried stingray). Again served with a side of the mayo/spice. I liked this dish and felt the mayo went well with the fried fish matchsticks.
Then we had the grilled eggplant with ponzu sauce. This dish was just ok. The freshly grilled eggplant had the ponzu sauce on the bottom, and was topped with shaved daikon, a small dollop of hot mustard, red sliced chilis and possibly a grated mild ginger. It’s a lovely presentation, but I didn’t think this dish worked well flavorful-wise. It was kind of bland.
The grilled mackerel was delicious. It was really the best item we tried. The accompanying soup, (bonito stock?) with fried shallots was very mild in flavor and could have used more umami, but the grilled fish was excellent. I would go back just for that fish. I felt the grated daikon worked well as an accompaniment, the pickled ginger out of a jar, not so much.
I liked the bossa nova soundtrack-very relaxing, and the decor is cute and well curated. Overall, I recommend this place for anyone looking for a change of pace.
Along with the food there’s a nice selection of sake from the...
Read moreI occasionally eat Japanese ramen, but for the first time in a while, I had tonkotsu ramen with a thick pork broth. A half-boiled egg marinated in salt, three pieces of tender pork belly, black pepper powder, garlic, sesame seeds, and especially noodles that are not too thick, well-cooked, and do not smell like flour, all combined to stimulate the taste buds. I tasted the broth first and was surprised by its heavy and rich taste. When I stirred the black pepper, garlic, and sesame seeds and mixed them in, a strange spiciness and savory taste, and the broth with the added garlic flavor stimulated my tongue. I picked up a piece of ramen meat and put it in my mouth. I could feel the chewiness of the ramen meat that was not too soft or undercooked. I picked up half an egg and put it in my mouth and chewed. The taste of the slightly salty taste and the savory taste of the egg yolk came to my tongue. Then I ate it in a hurry. It had been a long time since I tasted ramen, because it was hidden in an alley. It was hard to find, but the satisfaction I felt was great. I...

Japanese Vintage style restaurant, the store ain't big but it very cozy. During the evening, the atmostphere is very relaxing very enjoyable! Food price are very cost-efficient, pretty cheap for the tourism area. Munu ain't limited at all, from my oppinion their enough choise for everyone! Owner know how to selected their ingredient, and know how to present them very well. Ramens are very delightful.
Tonkotsu Ramen (pork stock ramen)🐷 very high in umami taste, not too salty or too fatty/ oily at all !!! Very recomend 🌟 Shoyu Ramen🍜 might be a little salty for someone, but on the other hand the taste of shoyu ain't seperated from the base stock at all. They combine in the great harmony, not showing the sweetness of shoyu or any other strong taste afterall ⭐️ Cucumber with Miso+Mayonese🥒 Fresh Cucumber serve with Miso and Mayonese, very simple but very enjoyable dish! Cucumbers are cut in to long stick style. They are very fresh, you can taste the fresh and sweet out of them with out anything else! When dip the sticks in miso+mayo, the taste are go the another level, the salty and umami of miso blended in mayonese. With any dish that is to oily or even drinker that need something to apetite during the conversation, this is a very go-to choise! 🌟
Chese Carrot cake🥕🍰 the body of cake are very wholefull but not too dense, very tasty and very homemade feeling. With such body when covered by cream cheese the creamy and light smell of cream cheese make the cake more complete! With the slight sweetness from cheese combine with the carrot cake, it's the perfect match! Very recommend 🌟 Almond Mechademia cake🍰🌰 The caramel burned in the right spot. On the other hand the, mechademia are cut in such sweetness and top it with a little of crunch and nutty. That all make this dish a well balance dessert to finished your day or even could light up any one on their bad day! 🌟
