Description

Beyond noodle soups, the kitchen turns out katsu sandwiches, gyoza, and takoyaki served at a ready-to-eat temperature. Opinions on the broth vary, with some finding it standard rather than memorable, though additions like crispy chicken karaage earn praise. The busy, casual room is built for a quick meal, though the compact setup means those sitting near the entrance should expect a blast of cold air whenever the front door opens.
