Oat strawberry matcha was delicious. 5/5 Karaage was so crispy, with juicy tender chicken. And the customer service was lovely!! So kind. So good, thanks so much!

Food was pretty good but service lacked. Our food came out at random times- matcha lattes were not sweetened and all came out after all the food. The large table at the back was so cold there was some air vent blowing directly in but that was the only large table to accommodate our group in the cafe. Okonomiyaki was tasty and the set menus are quite large.

Came here for lunch on my day off and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was fresh and delicious as i had imagined it would be. We ordered the salmon set, prawn soba, a sandwich and the toast with jam and miso spread. It did not disappoint. Considering there was only 1 worker, we understood there would have been a wait time so it is to be expected when there are multiple customers to attend to. 10/10 experience it was very relaxing and we would definitely come again due to the food quality and cafe ambience.

Came here for breakfast twice in two days! The vibes are so calming and relaxed. I even see some people doing their WFH here, so 10/10 for atmosphere. The food is great, the Oyako Don is the best I've had, and don't sleep on their chicken sando! It's the size of a whole dinner plate! And I had a set to eat and another to takeaway :) if you're looking for a safe and homey to chill this is it

Nice, small cafe with great Japanese food. Had the chicken katsu sando was great! Also the breakfast board, the salmon was so good, It melts in your mouth! They are spot on with their food! They have my highest recommendation!

Cute little Japanese café near Fairfield Station that feels super warm and homey. The portions are generous, and the food looks way nicer than you'd expect from such a chill spot. They’ve got outdoor seating too, so you can bring your dog along. It’s a quiet place—great for catching up with friends or just enjoying a peaceful meal. Easy to get to by train or bus, and there’s usually plenty of street parking around. Definitely a nice spot to check out if you're nearby.
