This is Japanese place has a counter for take away and small seating area for dine in guests. I have been here a few times, ramen is always good. However sometimes when it is busy, I find the place to be a bit too cramp. Usually I wouldn't mind this but my husband who is about 1.85m finds it uncomfortable and hence we don't visit as often.

One thing I love from here is their onigiri (sushi wrapped in a triangle shape) which has different varieties from salmon avocado to crab salad (one of my favourites). It comes in a plastic wrapper that separates the seaweed with the rice which makes the seaweed fresh and crunchy. The onigiri is about $3ish and very good value in my opinion.

I visit this place with my sons, My sons like the food a bit better than myself, that doesn't mean I don't like the food, they're nice. Just a little bit high on price for what you get. Service isn't an A grade, but is still nice.

Decent food. Price is 'alright'.
I would probably dine here once a week to a fortnight. Becoming a regular here. I have my reasons to love this place then also to be annoyed with em too.

Love the food, overall, cooked by real Japanese cooks! Yes they're all Japanese(well the cooks are)
Love the range of don buri, and ramen they've got. food it self is quite authentic, or at least as authentic as it can get.

My problems with this place.
1. Cash as only payment option.
Considering, the main are priced at around 15~17 dollars per pop, Onigiri + Gyoja + main + a drink is easily over 30 dollars per person. between the four of us, we're billed at aroun d 100~120 dollars. NO CARDS? They TAKE ORDERS on IPHONE using their APPS or something, but no card payments....
2. If you're dining as 2, you're going to sit next to strangers at an uncomfortable distance, way too close. often times you'd have to stand for someone else to leave, or vice versa.

If you aren't so picky with seatings and payment methods, then you'll love this place, cuz I do love the food here.

Approximate cost: $16

This place is pretty good, been here a few times and the staff are all very friendly. Hands down the best takoyaki in sydney. The cold ramen is the best in hot weather

Approximate cost: $13
