Love it so much. You should come a little early since there were lines already around 11.10am on weekends. I love the normal hayashi omu rice. The hamburg also tasted very good. Worth the money!

Made a reservation for dinner so I was able to get a seat smoothly. I had the store exclusive omuri-burg which consist of ketchup rice topped with a thick juicy hamburg patty and a melty egg omelet. There is also an option to add more ketchup rice for an additional 300 yen; I had the standard portion. It was satisfying to cut the omelet, revealing the creamy egg center. The combination of flavors from the sweet tartness of the ketchup rice, the rich savory demi-glaze sauce and the creamy mild cheese sauce worked in harmony; very delicious. Service was good and the wait time for the omuri-burg didn't take long (about 15 minutes wait).

A hidden gem in Nakameguro! It may be famous for their Omu Rice, but their oysters are pretty good too!! Nice appetizer before the main meal. I am always impressed with how Japanese are able to elevate the taste of such simple ingredients like eggs, rice & hamburg to such a high level!!

Other than the queue, nothing to complain about! 😋

We came here for their flagship dish (the omelette and beef patty rice). Given the publicity the dish had from social media promos, it certainly lived up to expectations. The mushroom and scallops turned out to be a standout dish and a delightful discovery.

We highly recommend arriving early and ahead of the restaurant’s opening time. Our strategy of arriving 45 minutes before opening paid off, because we were the second group in the queue. By the time the restaurant opened, over 20 groups queued so a number of groups had to wait for seats. Perhaps a good idea to plan ahead as this restaurant only opens for 3 hours for their lunch shift.
