"Located in the iconic Gays Arcade, this is a great lunch option. It's consistent and good value for money. There are seating options inside and outside. Inside is a bit tight, and the lighting can be somewhat hard depending on where you sit. Staff is diligent and friendly, which is always a big plus."
Sharine M.
"Nice restaurant in the middle of Rundle Mall. Service was quick, and servers were polite. The dishes were of good quantity and tasted very well. One set is enough for one person."
Udit C.
"Love the vibe of the restaurant. The food was affordable with good portion sizes. The katsu curry tastes very delicious. The flavor of the curry was very strong, and the katsu was amazing. Ordered some Karaage, and it was average. There are varieties of dishes to choose from the menu. Definitely recommend this restaurant."
