Here are the items ordered and their prices 🔻
🔺Classic Grilled Pork Don $130
The grilled beef sauce is a bit sweet but still tasty. Besides a soft-boiled egg, there are no other toppings, which feels somewhat empty.
🔺Seared Scallop and Smoked Salmon Don $280
One scallop and five slices of smoked salmon. The scallop has a nice seared aroma and is cooked just right, while I personally enjoy the semi-raw smoked salmon with its burst of fat. The accompaniments of broccoli and sweet potato are both cold, especially the sweet potato which wasn't fully thawed and tasted strange. There's also half a soft-boiled egg and some corn, giving it a very Taiwanese feel.
🔺Tempura Shrimp Don $180
Three fried shrimp with a crispy batter and firm shrimp meat.
🔺Grilled Chicken Leg Don $180
Approximately six large pieces of grilled chicken leg, cooked perfectly without being dry, very tasty.
🔺Salt-Grilled Mackerel $140
This is highly not recommended ❎ It’s better to buy it raw and air fry it... overall it’s quite dry, and there’s no lemon provided.
🔺Karaage Fried Chicken $130
A serving with four large pieces, fried just right, still retaining juiciness and tender meat, it goes well with yellow mustard and shichimi pepper.
🔺Croquette $50
A serving cut in half, with a single flavor option which is curry, just average.

The indoor seating accommodates about 26 people, and the restroom has a strong odor 😨
Halfway through the meal, I noticed a small cockroach crawling on the edge of the plate.
There were also continuously fruit flies 🪰 making their presence known.
The miso soup at the self-service area had no ingredients and the broth was super sweet (?).
