Food is good, but the store is the star! French Bistro meets Ramen House. Super cute setting, uniforms and a souvenir shop upstairs filled with stationery and toys. Nice meal, kitschy but a bit pricey.
Weve enjoyed the Dwarf for years now, and it fills a nostalgic place in my heart for many of the classic foods I enjoyed when visiting Tokyo years ago. Truly excellent ramen (and I dont usually like ramen) onigiri that are always yummy, but sometimes a bit inconsistent filling-wise (sometimes generous, but not always), mild but flavourful Japanese style curry, yummy Salisbury steak and tasty oknomiyaki (egg and crepe with various yummy savoury options) are some of the highlights. Typically the food is always well-executed and authentic to Japanese cafe-style food.Atmosphere-wise they seem to be slipping, struggling, or maybe theyve lost energy or given up due to steady take-out business. They started out with a unique and decidedly kawaii-style decor of fairytale whimsy, which drew us in. After a couple years the cute dwarf houses in the window are falling over and not maintained, the case that once displayed other cutesy stuff is empty, as is the refrigerator that once held ready-made onigiri. There appeared to be a failed attempt at a brunch/patio/flea market (?!), the items of which still scatter the exterior near the entrance. The walls are scuffed and need paint and the bathrooms are run down. The upstairs gift shop seems a bit misguided too. These signs of deterioration are worrying, though food-quality continues to be good. Weve yet to have a bad meal, though admittedly as the ambience as deteriorated, weve leaned more and more toward take out ourselves, which is a shame because their unique specials and kooky desserts are something we miss out on when dining at home.
Great service, cool decor, could use a few coats of paint. Huge ramen portions and extensive menu. Servers were helpful in accommodating vegetarians but the menu could use some ingredient descriptions!
