Great food, but patience is key.

Ikoi Japanese Cafe is the kind of hidden treasure that keeps foodies buzzing. The matcha latte is just right, according to albiona, while κΉ€ν˜„μ§„ can’t get enough of the kitsune udon. The onigiri is also a hit, and it’s clear that this family-run spot knows their stuff. Prices are reasonable, and the homey vibes are enough to make you want to stay forever.

But, of course, there’s a catch. Some folks found the wait time a bit excessive, and Bubu wasn’t thrilled about the chaos at the counter. Still, if you can brave the line, you’re likely to be rewarded with a delicious meal that feels authentically Japanese.
