I was surprised by the owner's response, which was so subpar (he even got angry in response to a customer's review?).

Also a questionable charge that’s just labeled “charge” is on your check. 660 yen for sitting down? Insanity.

💬

The staff's attitude was questionable. They were unfriendly, so I found it difficult to order.
