Watching the long queues at this restaurant, we were curious about the dishes it served. Was the food really worth over an hour of waiting time ?

A first look at the menu showed very typical ファミレス dishes comprised essentially of 3 ingredients: eggs, rice and meat.
The initial feel we got from the shop was rather positive. A predominently Muji-styled clear wood layout with accents of interior garden; all centered around the egg theme. Nothing too eye catching but a comfortable place to relax while enjoying a meal.
A somewhat polite waitress took our order: chicken curry omurice, katsudon (pork cutlet rice with egg) and a set of hashimaki.
This is where the good experience stopped. When the food arrived, we were far from blow away by the quality or taste. Although the eggs were indeed fresh, the rest was below standard for that pricing.
The Omurice was topped with chicken meat that was coarse and over cooked, and the curry was watered down to a level where the miso soup had a stronger aroma.
The Katsudon had the usual soft to mushy piece of pork cutlet that most local wannabe Japanese restaurant serve but the egg was indeed fresher than the average place.
The Hashimaki were just mini okonomiyaki rolled on a pair disposable chopsticks, meaning that they only tasted as good as the sauce used to top them.
Overall, although this place brings a bit of novelty to the mall and the prices were standard for mall food, we found it to be a bit overhyped.
