Ce restaurant est une vraie perle! C'était un vrai voyage culinaire. De plus, la décoration vous plonge littéralement dans l'ambiance du Japon❤️. Un bémol toutefois, sur les coussins d'assise de la salle à manger avec tatami. Ces coussins sont trop fins, il faudrait les doubler ou tripler pour avoir une position du bassin légèrement plus élevée et plus agréable en tailleur. Cela dit, on peut aussi profiter de ce voyage culinaire sur une table standard. Ne vous fier pas à l'aspect extérieur du bâtiment, poussez la porte d'entrée et profitez du voyage

We ordered the chicken teriyaki (very tender!), chicken gyoza (I found it needed a bit more salt), Tonkatsu ramen (had miso, which I am not that fond of, but the broth was nice and thick, noodles were chewy, pork slices tender, soy egg also good), husband had the spicy tofu which he also liked.

The atmosphere was great and the food was nice. We all took the ramen and were quite surprised in a good way. Deserts were a bit cold and the cheesecakes were probably coming from the freezer. BUT, it still was delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was chill with a real.
