This place always was and still is the best. Used to love getting a snack here as a child and it's still great. Can't go wrong with their extensive menu or friendly service.

3日連続で利用。 沢山の種類の具が選べるだけでなく、パンも3種類から選べる。 オススメはファラフェルと、hotローストビーフ。野菜も沢山とれるから嬉しい。 日本では味わえない味。 とても美味しいです。 ごちそうさまでした。 It has a taste you can't enjoy in Japan. It's very delicious. I went there three days in a row. You can choose many kinds of fillings, and also choose from three kinds of bread. My recommendations are falafel and hot roast beef. I’m happy because I can eat a lot of vegetables. Thank you for the meal!
