The host understood our dietary requirements and was able to modify dishes for us to include salted edamame, fried tofu, miso udon, and red bean soup which were all EXCELLENT, but I was sad to see that the menu had been removed. No doubt another casualty of the pandemic.

The Aussie waiter served my drink by holding it by the top of the glass! Overall, the staff were friendly enough.
