Generous meal portions! The ingredients were fresh and well cooked. Tried the pork cutlet, hotstone rice with chicken and the diced beef set with rice. Almost all tables were filled around dinner time on Saturday. Food was still served fairly quickly. Take note that they are closed on Thursdays.

As mentioned by others, only a few food stores near Aso station, and even fewer that opens late at night. Was staying at Fairfield, and came here for a late night dinner.Ordered steak and Takana rice, both dishes left us very satisfied. The takana rice is a must try, since it's an Aso specialty.

The best restaurant we came across throughout our 2 weeks travel in Japan. Everything was great! The food was delicious. The hospitality made you feel like you were home. The ambiance and the view is incredible. As much as we want to keep it hidden from the world to have it be the same when we come back again, they deserve to be known.

My wife and I were there this evening looking for a place to have a decent dinner at reasonable price. This restaurant met our expectations. The service was good too dispite being full house when we were there. I ordered a beef rice bowl while my wife had a pork cutlet set meal.

We did not expect much because most restaurants nearby are already closed and this one stays open until 9pm.Polite and efficient staff. This is one of those small restaurants where you could not expect anything super fancy. But the food actually tasted better than you see in pictures. Decent portions, super reasonable prices. I loved how crispy the TAKANA rice tasted. The beef was soft and tender.Cash and cards accepted. Nothing to complain.
