Popular restaurant judging from the full house on a weekday. The grilled pork was nice and tender but the mentaiko egg omelette was okay, nothing special. Menu comes with English and easy to order. Nice atmosphere.

I came on a weekday during off peak season (mid March). The place was relatively empty. Service is friendly and they have menu in English as well. The restaurant was cozy and interestingly decorated. Had the grilled smelt fish set and it was appetising. Considering this is a tourist area, it's reasonably priced at 1500 yen. The konyaku had a special sauce which was interesting and quite delicious. Would come again the next time I'm in the chuzenji area.

We ordered Japanese pond small set and ginger grilled pork bowl set. Both are really tasty and delicious. The pork is really juicy, and also the small fishes are really crispy and perfectly seasoned. Would love to visit again and try their pasta and pizza

Yummy western food. I recommend the chicken teriyaki pizza 🍕!! The mixed pizza was alright, also very cheesy. The mushroom soup pasta was also decent. Nice cozy ambience.
