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).

Other than the queue, nothing to complain about! 😋

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.
