It's a rare opportunity to visit Taichung and have dinner with my mother, and I saw someone recommending this place online, so I decided to give it a try.

The prices are relatively cheap for an izakaya, but I found the taste just okay—not bad, but very ordinary.

• The chawanmushi was very tender and delicious.
• The mentaiko cream udon was a bit heavy, probably because of the fried shrimp.
• The garlic stir-fried broccoli was good and not too tough.
• The fries were average.

It's quite affordable, so those wanting to try something new can give it a shot, but the atmosphere is really nice.
