"Quite a cosy place to catch up with friends. Food tastes great and looks aesthetically pleasing. The omurice is of generous portions, very filling. The curry is tasty and lots of meat to accompany the rice. The aglio olio chicken spaghetti was quite nice too. With a side of garlic bread. The tauhua was nice and sweet even without adding the syrup, paired mine with three toppings. Had warm rose milk, it came in a cute little pot."

"Had omurice and think it's good. Ordered salmon donburi as well. Food wise it's acceptable think service wise can be upgraded as when asked what's the difference on menu waiter were not able to answer. Price wise on the higher side."

"Very good atmosphere 10 out of 10 and the food is great. The food proportion is larger than the restaurant that I had been to like in Queensbay Mall. The service is good and the food is faster than I can imagine even though the food needs a lot of time to cook like the fried chicken. All in all I had a great time here and I recommend this restaurant to all of u guys if u are interested in eating delicious a d large portion of food. This is the second time I have been here and it is still the best out of all the restaurant I have been to."

"Ordered a few items to try. The taste and serving size are standard. Will be back to try other items. A place where you can have a full meal or just dessert with coffee or beers."

"Ordered their curry omurice set and a teriyaki chicken chop set. Both sets come with drink and mushroom soup. They also provide drinking water for dine in. Omurice set come with small portion of chicken karage. Mushroom soup is ok but slightly runny. Karage side is tender and juicy. Curry taste slightly bland which isn't really suitable for omurice which is bland itself. Chicken for the chicken chop is 2 piece of small size drumsticks. Both taste really dry and stale probably from frying too long. Price is average compared to other fusion café in the area. Food was served roughly 20 minutes from ordering. The place is cozy and properly ventilated, suitable for hang out. Visited outside peak hours and the cafe is basically empty. Currently this is the only cafe selling such omurice in the vicinity so hopefully they will improve it in the future. Will definitely come again for the omurice."
