“ I visited this place in July 2025 for lunch. There was sufficient parking space next to the restaurant. It wasn’t very crowded, with about 6–7 tables that can seat 4–6 people, and the rest were smaller tables for individuals or pairs. The menu focuses mainly on ramen and curry rice. Prices are affordable, and the set meals are generous—enough for 1–2 people per set. The staff were polite and friendly. Some of them could speak a bit of English. Free drinking water is provided, and there’s a restroom available for customers. Overall, it’s a nice spot to stop for a meal while traveling. ”
