Kalau lewat resto ini selalu penasaran kenapa sepi, akhirnya iseng nyoba kesini. Waktu kesini satu-satunya pelanggan. Kebersihan tempat kurang, kacanya sampai berdebu sekali. Disini pesen ramen sama udon. Mas-mas pelayannya waktu ditanya menu loadingnya lama bgt buat ngecek ketersediaan menu, baik menu makanan maupun minuman. Nunggu makanan dari jam 18.00 baru dateng jam 18.30. Tukang masaknya cuma 1 jadinya lama. Mas yg satu cuma bikinin minum terus duduk-duduk aja. Kurang “cekatan”. Lampu gak dihidupkan padahal udah mulai gelap. Baru dihidupkan sama mbak-mbak pelayan yg baru dateng. Untuk makanannya rasanya enak. Harga terjangkau. Gyoza nya enakk! Untuk owner, mungkin manajemen restonya bisa sedikit dievaluasi, sayang banget makanannya enak-enak tapi restonya sepi gini

Bagi penyuka kuliner Japanese, resto satu ini recommended banget. Dengan porsi dan rasa masakannya, harga yang ditawarkan sangat terjangkau. Menunya pun beragam. Apalagi kalau datang beramai-ramai dengan teman maupun keluarga, menu Shabu-shabunya wajib dicoba.
