This cafe seems to be quite popular in this area. It was quite packed when we arrived for lunch. The ambience is quite nice and bright. The food is delicious. You get western, local and Japanese style cuisine. The coffee is also good.

Ordered beef Japanese pasta and the portion was generous so if you are not a big eater can be a sharing portion of two persons. Hot matcha latte was good too can taste the bitterness and not too sweet served with a choc cookie. The price was fair and standard for such a fancy and aesthetic Muji-style cafe. Food and view are instagrammable. Went there off peak so it was nice and chill. Service was good. I like the ambience and parking was easy to find too. Will repeat again with my family.

Small and cozy environment. Food and drinks were nice and prices were reasonable. Loved the dessert. The waitress brought me a glass of water unprompted, after I finished my dessert. It was a small but nice gesture. Would go back again.

The ambience is cozy, there’s always people but it’s not too loud you can have a regular conversation. One thing that was very notable is their wait time for food, merely 10 minutes or less in fact. The service is friendly. Would definitely recommend to those. The portion of the chicken katsu is quite huge but is definitely quite tasty indeed.

Their Assam pedas fish stingray rice came in a huge portion that I need to take away. Taste very flavourful! Love their crunch of their cabbage, kangkung and keropok(so it’s quite fresh). The waiter is very welcoming and attended me as I walk in. The waitress also immediately gave me a cup of water right after I ordered(because I didn’t order any drink). Environment is quite cozy but a bit too cold for me(maybe there’s not much people when I came).

Had a memorable farewell here, thanks to my dear Joyce the sweet treat! The food was absolutely chef’s kiss, the ambience was delightful and the staff; Arslan and Eri, were incredibly helpful! A special thanks for assisting with filling up water for my overheated car and for the unwavering smiles you both shared throughout. We will definitely be coming back!
