What people say, in short
Several people recommend Marulilu Cafe, which one describes as a charming small Japanese-style spot that also serves a traditional Japanese breakfast. One calls the omu curry omelette a personal favourite and says it is not overpriced, and a few place it on Broadway. On the downside, one finds it somewhat steep for the portion size, one finds it unimpressive, and one notes it gets crowded around lunch hours.
