"Lyonnais dine close to where they dwell for the most part, but the lure of this izakaya’s killer donburi and strong sake has them traipsing across town to Villeurbanne. The ramen is so flavorful you’ll have to resist the urge to lick the bowl clean—but tasty matcha desserts like tiramisu with adzuki bean paste or the gourmand will take your mind off the impulse. The ambience is casual and relaxed, but the place is tiny, so arrive early and prepare to rub elbows with the next table." - anna richards

Very cute little japanese place.
The gyudon rice was very good, very filling.
The teriyaki chicken as well.
Served with miso soup.
I also had a yuzu lemonade that was super refreshing!
Service is super friendly and good.

Delicioua food and good prices. Food here is amazing!! Definitely have to try the Japanese omelette.
They have a nice selection of Japanese beers as well.
Is easy to reach by public transport. And very important to book in advance because it gets full!

Recommend to order the don (rice bowls) or the stir fried udon, they are much better than the ramen which we find a tad too mushy. Starters are good especially the takoyaki (octopus balls). Came in a big group so we tried almost everything on the menu. Great and prompt service!

Service was quick and great! Had 2 mains, the teriyaki donburi and the chashu-men. Although the seaweed topping on the donburi was slightly strong, both were delectable! Matcha Tiramisu filled with a little bit of red bean paste was a great finish.

The Katsu-don is WOW. Super tasty, with so many different high quality ingredients. The mix of flavours is out of ordinary and combines very nicely. Service is great and fast, there is a pleasant atmosphere. 💯 Do book a table before going as it gets full.
