Most Popular Items

Fruit Teas (e.g., First Love Guava Tea, Peach Green Tea)
"I ordered a large First Love (guava tea) with mango jelly and lychee jelly -- it got mixed up with someone else's drink so instead I ended up having a large peach green tea with aloe jelly. It was still good -- very refreshing, not too sweet."
Takoyaki
"I also tried their takoyaki and onigiri. The takoyaki were surprisingly very good. It was $5.75 for 6 takoyaki which I thought was pretty reasonable. They seemed very freshly made -- hot and gooey inside with all the usual toppings."
Onigiri (various fillings like salmon, shrimp tempura, kani)
"I got 3 different types of the onigiri (Kani, Shrimp tempura, and baked salmon) and they were all fresh and delicious. I started with shrimp tempura and it was so good I went back for the other two."
