Chashu ramen was definitely the best dish. If i ever come back to this restaurant, definitely will order the Chashu Ramen again! Perfectly made ramen soup with the sesame aroma. The boiled pork melted in your mouth and it's one of the best feeling in your mouth. The texture of the meat was exceptional. Gyoza has the Japanese authenticity and sure it us one of the must tried! Unfortunately the red curry was too sweet we are thai) for us and it needs a lot of improvement. Unless, this dish can sell to the non-thai customer. I am not recommending it at all. The restaurant has a Japanese style deco and it suits the store.

Honestly, some of the best takoyaki I have ever had. they use a smaller diameter pan which improves the crisp to filling ratio. The Laksa was good and fairly traditional, Malaysian variant I believe. The soup part of it was noteworthy and well balanced.The pad Thai was just OK. This place was hopping! Definitely a known spot, but the staff was friendly, accommodating, and moved quickly.we got seated in 30 minutes, ordered at the counter, and were served 15 minutes later the atmosphere was loud and bright. we sat by the front door, which was freezing as guests left it open all the time. the staff warned us, but there weren't any other seats

The fried rice with chicken and the phad Thai were nicely done. The chicken tomyam soup was flavourful and appetizing.
