The place is small and cozy, I had never eaten this type of food, but I wanted to try the Ramen, which by the way was very tasty, I couldn't even eat it all (it is well served)

I had a short rib ramen that I loved, and they loved the short rib bibimbap too.nnWhat sets the restaurant apart is its okonomiyaki, a dish that's hard to find in Rio de Janeiro.nnBut it's pricey. An appetizer, two main courses, and two drinks cost over R$200.

I found the atmosphere cozy. The service was super friendly and fast.nnThe ramen was very good. The gyoza was the best I've ever had.nnThe dessert, nama chita, was not to my liking. The salty stuff was too salty. But that must just be my not-so-refined palate.
