The Karaage Don is absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is so peaceful and Chi is such a wonderful host. This has become my favorite lunch spot in Norwich.
James Wilson
Japanese home food that brought me genuine comfort and warmth. The Genmai tea is perfect and the cafe has such a calming atmosphere. Feels like a home away from home!
Sarah Parker
A hidden gem in Norwich! The Omurice is comfort food at its best. The cafe is beautifully decorated and has such a tranquil vibe. Will definitely be back!
Michael Chen
Almost perfect! The flavors are authentic and the service is excellent. The only thing I'd suggest is adding more vegetarian options to the menu.
