Contemporary Japanese Deli

A hidden gem in Da Costa Arcade, just off Rundle Mall. The prices are very fair for what they offer, and the food exceeds expectations for the price. Their ramen and curries are the standout dishes. An ideal lunch spot.

Japanese food has always been a little bit of a mystery to me, as my early exposure to it wasn’t overly enticing. Some flavour combinations and ingredients can be a little left field, so for a long time I just didn’t quite get it. However, eventually I was reintroduced via the institution that is ramen, and the rest, as they say, is history.

This is a great place to grab a quick lunch. They have healthy rice bowls, bento boxes and other quick lunch options. There are a few tables to sit and eat otherwise you can grab and go.  I've recently tried their ramen and it is pretty decent.

Authentic and delicious Japanese food served with a smile. Their bento boxes are my go-to and are excellent value at $9.80. Easily one of the best lunch spots in the CBD.

A tiny Japanese cafe that serves bento, sushi, ramen and rice dishes. The staff are delightful and the food is fresh, delicious and authentic. Very popular as evidenced by the queues. Expect to share tables and if you order ramen, it is usually a 25 min wait. The wait is worth it for one of best ramens I have eaten.
