Despite a decor that could do with a refresh and cramped conditions. This highly in-demand restaurant ticks many boxes. The niche aspect is why people visit, which is for the meal being cooked in front of you. This restaurant requires reservations due to its size limitations. You may be lucky to get seated if there is a gap in the schedule.
This visit is for the savory Japanese pancakes and they are of excellent quality. There is great care when they are sizzling in front of you and it takes around 10/15 minutes to prepare. It is reminiscent of watching your mum cook and impatiently feeling hungry by the second. There is an array of fillings to complement the pancakes and there is a comfort food feel to the proceedings.
Definitely worth a visit if you can get a booking for some simple but very tasty food.
