C'est donc une compagnie dynamique et passionnée qui souhaite vous faire découvrir ses spécialités. Vous pourrez ainsi déguster le Takoyaki (poulpe) ou Tsunayaki (thon) et les Ebiyaki (crevette) ou Vegeyaki (végétarien) ou encore les Spécial-yaki à demander en semaine.

The place is pretty big, the buffet looks good from afar, but is far from good. Huge choice of beautiful frozen food, tasteless veggies. The meat is pretty good, and the price is OK, and you got to like that they charge for food you take. It probably forces people to take only what they need to eat. In any case, I come back to Montpellier pretty often. I won't go to this place.

Assis au bar, à vous de saisir les assiettes au gré de l'envie. La couleur des plats renseigne sur les prix, soyez vigilant, si vous êtes gourmand. A vos baguettes !

A respite in hot hot hot Montpellier. Lot of people getting take out here during lunch time, but also plenty of simple but comfy (for short term) seats and tables. It's a small joint but adorably decorated. Dishes are reasonably priced. Their teriyaki salmon bowl is quite nice, and they have other refreshing sushi lunch entree options as well. They make their soy sauce in house (the green bottle marked sucre is actually fait maison, home made, doesn't mean sweet soy sauce). They make their wasabi in house as well. At each table there is a different card game. Quite cute. For you to pass time. At the counter, they have a sign in French saying that even super man has an allergy (kryptonite), so please don't be shy to tell them if you have any food allergy. Love the humor. Generally friendly service. You order at the counter and wait for your food.
