The original 🥞 is really good and is what we are expecting exactly. It tastes even better than some of the chain stores we visited in Japan. The souffle is soft and fluffy with not much flour or egg smell which some of the pancake shop has. The cream sweetness and texture is nearly perfect and the salt butter is well mingled with the pancake itself. The curry tonkatsu is okay but with only $16, I think it is great value. Will definitely come back for the souffle and other dishes since it tastes good and won't break the bank. Highly recommend!

Wait was minimal on a busy Sunday brunch by joining waitlist in advance. Food was visually appealing and came out without a long wait, however the curry was not hot and so we asked for it to be reheated. The soufflé pancakes were good, would be nice if the butter was not a hard cold chunk, though. Would skip the eggs benedict and stick to some of the more Japanese dishes. InKind worked just fine.

Very chill and welcoming service. Sweets are not too sweet, and the savory items are delicious and worth the wait. Servers are super friendly in chatting and offering recommendations at for menu items for those unfamiliar with the types of pancakes. Will definitely be coming back :)

BETTER THAN TAKAGI in LA! I was just looking for a cafe that had soufflé pancakes but little did I know that I stumbled upon this gem! The original cafe is in Osaka and they opened up 2 stores in the states. 1 in SF and recently this location. I ordered the chilli, honeycomb latte, tonkatsu curry, and the hazelnut soufflé pancakes. I'm obsessed with the recent food addition which is their chilli pancakes. I thought it would be like Hawaii zippy chill but it was even better than expected! The curry reminded me of curry from an anime because of the veggies mixed into it. I spoke to a worker and they said they simmer the curry overnight which holds the flavor. Lastly, the hazelnut soufflé pancakes were so fluffy and way better than takagi pancakes! I'm a BIG chocolate lover so the flavor of the hazelnut sauce really stood out to me and I loved that they added cocoa pebbles for a slight crunch. Overall, I would give this place a 10/10!

The food was AMAZING. my husband and I just came back from japan and the souffles especially taste just like the ones from japan. all the employees were very helpful and considerate. Alvin gave us really good recommendations from the menu and was very kind. would recommend coming here! we came here back to back for our weekend trip in LA!
