The fried oysters were really crispy, and the simmered saury had a nice flavor. The set with miso soup and a drink for 1,400 yen is a solid choice. I liked the simple wooden tables and the quiet, calm vibe inside.

Stopped by for a late Saturday lunch. The Yabu Tempura Zaru Soba was pretty good. Tempura was hot and crispy, noodles had a nice bite. The dipping sauce was just salty enough for me. Place was steady but not too crowded. A solid choice.

The lighting is just right here, not too bright or dim. I like how they&#39;ve used polished glassware to catch the light, it adds a nice touch. Makes for a really comfortable spot to just grab a casual bite.

The service was truly wonderful, with the waiters offering attentive and thoughtful assistance throughout the meal.

The fettuccine with Bolognese was a good choice. They brought a big block of cheese to the table and grated it right over the pasta for you. The noodles had a nice, firm bite to them. A solid, simple pasta spot.

Nice traditional vibe with a small waterfall at the entrance. All private rooms, which is a plus.

The teppanyaki counter was a great experience. The Sendai beef filet was carefully prepared right in front of us, and the appetizers were delicious. A fantastic option for a special occasion.

The yukhoe is fantastic, and the foie gras bowl is a must-try. The atmosphere is relaxed, though it can get a bit noisy.

Line can get long at peak times. But I don&#39;t mind waiting for a seat at the counter. You can watch the chefs work, very focused and skilled. The atmosphere is relaxed.

This restaurant offers a fantastic variety of Chinese dishes, and the dandan noodles are a must-try! The flavors are rich and satisfying, making it a great choice for lunch.

The Shanghai ramen&#39;s soup is a bit sweet, which was nice. The thin noodles had a good texture. I liked the low lighting and the wooden tables, made it a cozy spot to sit for a while.

The lunch specials are a solid deal. Had the grilled fish set, fish was cooked nicely. But the entrance is really narrow, almost walked right past it.

The grilled oyster set was good. The butter and soy sauce really brought out the umami. The fried oysters were a nice bonus.

The attentive service and reasonably priced French wines by the glass beautifully complement the restaurant&#39;s sophisticated atmosphere.

The quiet atmosphere was so relaxing for lunch. I really appreciated the soft jazz music in the background, it helped me unwind. A very peaceful spot.

The small rice bowl is huge! Came here with friends and we all ended up sharing. Good for groups, but maybe start with one to share if you&#39;re not super hungry.
