TripAdvisor 4.1, ranked 1st in Isumi. Tabelog 3.42/110 reviews. Multiple personal posts citing 'octopus in the taco rice has great elasticity, seasoned rice is careful and delicious,' 'unbeatable value,' and 'freshness on another level.' Popular with both tourists and locals for daily dining. Popular enough that late arrivals may find dishes sold out.
