Mietta's Review
The Alinga St window is decorated with packets of extremely Aussie looking sandwiches. Inside the door the desk is packed with similar items - giant Anzac biscuits, extraodinarily colourful plastic sundaes (a mix of Japanese and Australian culture), lollies and all manner of other kiosk ephemera. The small narrow room is decorated with illustrated, texta on paper, specials fluttering along an entire wall. It all adds up to a rather nice, if slightly eccentric, place to eat a cheap Japanese meal. Extremely courteous and efficient service masks any deficiencies the food might have.
