If you're looking for a quick, casual, inexpensive tempura shop, you've come to the right spot. We swing by for a very early dinner, meaning only 4-5 other people were in the restaurant with us.
I ordered the prawn and vegetable set which came with two pieces of shrimp, and 4-5 pieces of vegetables. The set allowed me to choose rice or noodles. I chose rice which then came with miso, pickles, sauce with shredded ginger and daikon on the side and green tea.
My husband ordered the vegetable set with a beer. He chose the noodle route and opted for udon over soba, which came with pickles and tea, no miso since he got noodles.
He's more of a curry udon man, so this was not at the top of the list for him but I appreciated the simplicity, value, and thought it hit the spot. The only criticism was the lotus root, which was nearly inedible because it was so hard. I couldn't bite through it and had to leave it on the plate. The shrimp was delicious as was the squash.
For under 1700 yen, or the equivalent of $12 in October 2023, it was a hell of a bargain and worth it in my mind. The service was impeccable as it always is and was in Japan, regardless if you're paying a dollar or a hundred dollars. They're doing it right.
