Got their cheesy burger, but the patty was a tad overcooked. The other food shown in pics were fine, but the whole meal wasn't amazing. The service was great, though. I had the weekly chicken plate, ginger ale and hot apple pie with Hokkaido milk ice cream. I personally like my dessert best. Would be perfect if they gave a right size fork. It was difficult to cut through the generous half apple. Too crowded at times. Must reserve table first.

I was trying flights from around town and their "craft beer flight" gave me hoegaarden, Sapporo, and another common beer. Defiantly exists to sell a foreign experience to local people. They have Budweiser on tap.

The food is alright, but not great. Everything is a little bit too oily and deep fried. Service is friendly and very fast.
