VERY family friendly and simply divine people. Good food especially if the kids (or grown ups) need a change from Japanese. Our one year old devoured the sausages, baked egg plant and some snacks they gave him especially. Our three year old loved her caramel milk and corn and tuna pizza. She spent the rest of the meal making origami with the wonderful women who work here while we relaxed. Why not try a pizza with seaweed on it? Standard toppings also available.
