Weekday Wait Times & A Cozy, Wi-Fi Equipped Space
When we visited around 6:00 PM on a weekday, there was already a line of about 6 people waiting outside.
Because the restaurant offers a very relaxing atmosphere, the table turnover rate is on the slower side.
On this day, it took us about 20 minutes to get seated!
By the time we finished our meal and left (around 7:00 PM), the line had grown to over 10 people.
Since you can expect a queue even on weekdays, we highly recommend planning your visit with some extra time to spare.
The exterior features a stylish, glass-walled design.
Step inside, and you’ll find a bright, chic, and calming space with 38 seats, including spacious sofa booths.
During peak hours, there is a 90-minute seating limit, but the space is incredibly comfortable, complete with free Wi-Fi and power outlets.
Whether it’s a date, a girls’ night out, or treating yourself to a solo meal, the vibe alone is enough to get you excited.
Taste Test: The #1 Menu Item “Double Cheese Hamburger Omurice”
For this visit, we ordered the restaurant’s signature dish: the “Limited! Double Cheese Hamburger Omurice” (from ¥1,848 with tax). We also opted for the +¥275 premium “Maximum” egg upgrade!
- The Ultimate Fluffy & Gooey Egg:
The premium “Maximum” eggs have an incredibly rich yolk.
There’s a faint, creamy, almost milky flavor that elevates the natural taste of the egg to its absolute peak.
- Umami-Packed Chicken Rice:
The rice beneath the egg is packed with the deep umami of tomatoes.
It has just the right amount of acidity that keeps your spoon moving—you won’t be able to stop eating it.
- The “Devilish” Double Cheese Hamburger:
When you cut into the hamburger patty resting on top of the egg, melted cheese oozes out along with savory meat juices.
Combine that with the special cheese sauce poured on top and a rich, perfectly balanced demi-glace sauce, and you have an overwhelmingly satisfying dish that cheese lovers will go crazy for.
The Ultimate Live Experience: The Viral “Pakkaan” Egg Drop!
The biggest draw of this restaurant is the table-side cutting performance!
The moment the staff slides their knife down the center, the jiggly omelet bursts open (pakkaan!), and the gooey, soft-scrambled egg gently blankets the rice.
You will absolutely want to have your smartphone ready to record a video of this moment!
Step 1: The Fluffy Omelet Arrives!
A perfectly cooked, pillowy omelet sits on top of the rice. It looks delicious enough just like this.
Step 2: The Fateful Cut!
The staff member brings the knife to the egg. It’s a moment of pure suspense…
Step 3: The Viral “Pakkaan” Moment!
The egg spreads out into a gooey, mouth-watering blanket! No matter how many times you see it, it never gets old.
Step 4: The Ultimate Sidekicks
The hamburger patty and two types of sauces are brought out to elevate the dish to the next level.
Step 5: Crowning the Dish!
First, the juicy hamburger is placed right in the center of the soft-scrambled egg.
Step 6: Rich Demi-Glace! A generous pour of their signature demi-glace sauce goes all around.
Step 7: The Creamy Cheese Finish! Finally, a thick, creamy cheese sauce is drizzled over the top to complete this ultimate masterpiece!
