    Small cosy restaurant. You’re very close to other tables. Decently priced food. Staff were amazing. Didn’t feel rushed even though it was busy. Food was overall tasty, but the Ramen was a bit mediocre. Need to try other items on the menu.

    Had the bento munchie box, takeaway through Uber Eats. Food was quite bland, compared to others in the area. The salt and pepper chicken was actually frozen chicken nuggets - quite insulting to the proper dish. You should say what they are if different from the norm. I wouldn’t have bought the box if I had known this. The spring rolls and gyoza were crispy but too mushy. Chips went dry quickly and the sauce amount was very small. At least let me pour curry sauce over all my rice. I thought the quite decent review set was trustworthy, however I find only disappointment and now another review on here saying similar. Shame.
