The ramen looked rich but was actually light and easy to eat. I was surprised by that! The fried rice was classic and moist, really hit the spot on a chilly day.

The tempura set meal was a nice surprise for under 1000 yen. What I really liked was the quiet, relaxed atmosphere of the dining room &ndash; it felt spacious and calm, not rushed at all.

The rump steak was a decent size and the rib steak was pretty tender. The garlic rice had a strong, nice flavor. I liked the terrace seating option for a more relaxed vibe, though it was a bit noisy from the street.

The pain au chocolat was pretty good. Flaky, buttery pastry with a decent amount of chocolate inside. It didn&#39;t feel too sweet, which was nice. A solid choice for a morning pastry.

Kushikatsu place near Tsukuba Center. The scallops were really good. Staff spoke English, which helped.
