Diner perspective

Why it earns affection

The coating stays light and never feels greasy, so the fried dishes finish cleanly. High-quality ingredients and a clear sense of season come through, and the cooking changes from item to item with different frying times and heat. Watching the work unfold at the counter adds real immediacy to the meal.

Where preferences may divide

The fixed course leaves no room to choose each dish, so diners who want more control will notice that right away. Reservations are hard to secure, which matters most to anyone hoping to decide on a whim. Guests who enjoy leaving the meal to the kitchen will be comfortable here, while those who value more options may hesitate.
