On November 14, 2024, I visited the restaurant on a weekday, quite late in the day. There were no other customers at all (^o^;). Given the state of things, it was clear that no one would be coming in that day. Nonetheless, I was greeted with, "Are you dining alone? Please take a seat at the counter," as if it were straight out of a script. Honestly, I could have sat anywhere, but I felt like a difficult customer (sweat). I jokingly reported to the kitchen that they should just let me choose wherever I wanted to sit. Since I had eaten at another restaurant before coming here, I was already quite full. Still, I ordered a drink, a platter of assorted pickled side dishes, and cold noodles. This chain restaurant seems to really prefer groups of two or more; all of their main dishes can only be ordered in sets of two. It doesn't seem suited for a second stop to grab drinks. As for the cold noodles, they didn't look appetizing at all, and unfortunately, the taste matched the appearance. I can't help but wonder if they forgot to add some seasonings! I forced myself to eat but really hoped this was all just a mistake (^o^;).
