Must make reservation in advance, but it worths the extra effort. A little authentic local shop with steamed and grilled eel which they start prepare at the minute you order, so it could take up to 45 minutes to prepare but again why rush when you can relax and dine? Quality grilled mushroom, fresh tomatoes and juicy and tender fried chicken as well. Flush everything down with a glass of freezing beer!

Very nice restaurant, the owner will make the eel once they receive the order, from steaming to grill, it takes around 45 mins to wait, but worth it. Fresh grilled eel can be served with sauce or wasabi.
Other dishes like chicken meat ball, egg roll, deep fried chicken. All are great!
Must book in advance.
