Been coming here for years. The set meal with rice is just right&mdash;filling but not heavy. It&#39;s that consistency I keep coming back for.

Been coming here for years, and the owner&#39;s homemade castella is always the same. Soft, not too sweet, perfect with coffee. That consistency is why I keep coming back.

Cool vibe with records everywhere. Had the ramen, broth was rich and noodles perfect. Just a bit too loud for me.

Been coming here for years. The manager always remembers my usual order, which is nice.

The hamburger steak lunch set is such a good deal! The patty was super juicy, and it came with a big salad and miso soup. Perfect for catching up with a friend over a long lunch. 😊

The staff were so friendly even when it was packed for the 100-yen drinks. Made it easy to relax.

The unagi onigiri from the to-go stand was a nice little snack. Perfect for a quick bite while walking around.

Had the Sri Lankan curry set for lunch. It was spicier than I expected, but they adjusted it for me. The flavors were really good. &yen;900 with a drink is a fair price.

Came here with a couple friends for a late lunch and there was still a line! The wait wasn&#39;t too bad though. We squeezed into a tiny table by the window, which actually made it feel more fun and intimate for catching up. The limited space is kinda part of the charm here.

The space is really nice, you can tell they put thought into the lighting and seating. It&#39;s comfortable without feeling stuffy. The fresh vegetable salads were a highlight, very crisp. Yes, it&#39;s a bit pricey, but the overall vibe makes it feel justified for a casual dinner out.

Been coming here for a while. The staff remembered my usual wine choice, which was a nice touch.

The staff were very friendly. Our food arrived quickly, which was nice as we were quite hungry. The seats were comfortable enough for a relaxed meal. A pleasant, no-fuss dinner.

The ramen broth had a deep, rich flavor that was just right. The noodles were firm, not too soft. The chashu was tender and melted in your mouth. Good portion size for the price.

Good coffee and cake upstairs. Ground floor sells beans and cookies. The upstairs seating is quiet, good for a quick work call. Cake was decent, not too sweet. Coffee was fine. A solid, convenient spot near the station.

The liqueur marron cake was a nice surprise. The sponge is soaked through, really boozy and aromatic. The buttercream is light, not too heavy.

Been coming here for years, and I always get the nori soy sauce ramen. The bowl&#39;s just covered in seaweed. That smell hits you first, really nice with their double soup. It&#39;s the one thing I keep coming back for.

The gelato was so smooth, just right. Not too sweet, which I really liked. Had the pistachio and it was spot on. Great for a hot afternoon.

The mitarashi dango set was good. The dumplings were fresh, not greasy at all. Four pieces was a nice portion.
