Why come

Chic, in three things

01

Karaage Worth Talking About

The signature golden karaage arrives crispy, juicy, and enormous — alongside five house-made dipping sauces. First-timers are pointed straight to the mustard yogurt.

02

Generous All the Way Through

Portions are unexpectedly large and every set still comes with a free top-up of noodles or rice. Miso soup, creamy potato salad, and pickled veg round out the meal.

03

An Owner Who Looks After You

The boss personally checks if it's your first visit and walks you through the best combinations. It's the kind of warmth that turns first-timers into regulars.

On the menu

Made daily, loved often

What guests come back for, again and again.

Dried Ramen with Chicken Karaage

“The golden karaage is crispy outside, fall-apart tender inside, and enormous — the five dip sauces make it even harder to stop eating.”— David Chan

single unagi don 单鳗鱼丼

“Best unagi don I've had — clean, rich flavour with zero fishiness, and the sides taste freshly made every single time.”— David Chan

Curry Udon

“Thick, rich curry broth loaded with chunky potatoes and carrots — a warming bowl that earns every mention in the reviews.”— Janelle

Shioyaki Saba Fish Ramen Set

“Saba grilled just right, ramen cooked to perfection, and a soft egg folded in — one of the quietly standout bowls on the menu.”— David Chan
Also worth ordering

Strawberry Daifuku

“A pretty Japanese sweet with a surprise cheese layer inside — unexpected, delicate, and a charming way to close the meal.”— Janelle

ajitama 日式溏心蛋

“The soft marinated egg tucked into the ramen sets is a quiet detail regulars always notice — silky-set yolk, well-seasoned throughout.”— David Chan

Osmanthus Flower Tea

“A gentle floral tea that balances the richer mains well — a smart pick for anyone after something light and fragrant.”— David Chan

Insider notes

Arrive Before 6 pm

Lunch and dinner rush hours bring real queues outside. Coming in just before 6 pm is the sweet spot — you're usually seated straight away.

🍜

Always Use the Free Refill

Every set includes a free top-up of noodles or rice — just ask when you're ready. Portions are already large, but the option is yours.

🤝

Tell Them It's Your First Visit

The owner personally recommends combinations for newcomers and flags the best sauce pairings. Worth mentioning the moment you sit down.

🥣

Work Through All Five Sauces

The karaage comes with five dipping sauces — most regulars start with mustard yogurt or yuzu yogurt on the first visit, then explore from there.

🅿️

Budget a Few Minutes for Parking

Free street parking along Jalan SS 21 fills up fast at dinner. Arrive slightly early or check the quieter side streets nearby.
