Reviews from our guests
The moment you walk in, the vibe is totally unexpected — cozy, fun, and full of personality. The staff was incredibly kind and patient, and the tonkotsu ramen was packed with flavor. The Godzilla decor made it even better. I’d definitely recommend it for families.
Such a cute little spot that instantly made me feel like I was back in Japan. The decor, lanterns, and artwork give it so much charm. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the complimentary potato salad was a great start. Can’t wait to come back.
Chome nails the izakaya experience — small plates meant to be shared with drinks. Service was fast, the food came out perfectly timed, and the whole meal was smooth from start to finish. Ideal for a small group night out.
Daily happy hour is a huge win. We came right at 5pm and got seated immediately. The cozy interior and playful decor made the experience even better. The atmosphere alone makes this place worth visiting again.
The fish portions are generous and incredibly fresh, especially for the price. My favorite was the spicy salmon crunch handroll. The plateware and decor really add to the overall experience, and the staff was super sweet.
The decor is full of character — lanterns, banners, and quirky details everywhere. The complimentary potato salad was a nice touch, and the karaage ramen was filling and flavorful. I’m already planning to try their udon next time.
