Cozy spot inside the arcade. Ordering at the counter first made everything super quick, perfect for catching up with friends.

Breakfast options are good, coffee&#39;s solid. Came in for a quick bite, ended up staying a couple hours to get some work done. A reliable spot for that.

The pomelo salad was a nice surprise. The crisp grapefruit and shrimp flakes paired really well with a chilled white wine.

Love the vibe here. It&#39;s cozy and unpretentious, just a really comfortable place to unwind. The lighting is warm and the tables aren&#39;t crammed together. A solid neighborhood spot.

Been getting takeout from here for years. Staff always remembers my name, food&#39;s usually ready early. Makes it easy to grab dinner on a busy weeknight.

The waiter was helpful with my dairy allergy. The chicken was juicy, the sauce well-balanced. Place is small, so it can feel a bit cramped. Food quality made it worthwhile.

Nice spot to sit outside when the weather&#39;s decent. Gets packed though, had to wait 20 minutes for a table on Saturday night.

Cozy little spot with a nice neighborhood feel. The tables are comfortable and not too close together, which I appreciate.

The yasai ramen broth is the star here. It&#39;s got a deep, savory flavor that doesn&#39;t rely on meat at all. The fried tofu in the rice bowl was crispy outside and soft inside. Wish there were a couple more veggie options on the menu, but what they do have is solid.

Always stop by for their chorizo and egg breakfast sandwich. It&#39;s my weekend ritual. The chorizo has just the right kick, and the eggs are never overcooked. Gets pretty packed after 9 AM though, so I try to beat the rush.

The beef BBQ was tender and flavorful. I was impressed by their wine list &ndash; found a nice Malbec that paired beautifully with the smoky notes. Staff was super sweet, even gave us rice on the house. A solid spot for a casual dinner.

The decor here is really nice, lots of plants and comfy seats. The plates and teapots are beautiful too. It&#39;s a small space though, so definitely book ahead if you can.

The paella is delicious, but it takes a while. They make it fresh to order, so you have to wait. I don&#39;t mind that. The rice had a good socarrat crust and the seafood was fresh. Just plan for it.

Finally made it in after walking by for years. The eggs benedict were on point, and the hash browns were solid. Portion size for the price is fair. No complaints.
