A small, cozy, family run vibe. Friendly and helpful staff. And most importantly, phenomenal food! My family of 5 ordered 4 different lunch meal options, and they were incredible. From the Thai Green Curry to the spicy ramen, an omurice with a twist, and the bacon tomato and cream. Every bite had me over the moon. A lovely bonus was the second floor, which had a beautiful view of the coast. It is absolutely worth stopping by or even going out of the way to get food here. If that wasn't enough, the prices are very reasonable at around 1000 yen on top of everything!

The food was phenomenal and so was the service! The shakes were really delicious; we recommend the espresso shake. The noodle dishes were all so wonderful. My favorite was the bacon, tomato, cream noodles and my husband liked the spicy noodles the best. My son loved the green curry and the tapioca drinks were really great, as well. We highly recommend a visit for a nice lunch!

This is such a cute little cafe. I have visited a number of times and have enjoyed tasty dishes, wonderful views and restful atmosphere. From the first to last I have always received professional and courteous service. As others have highlighted, Banzai has a spectacular ocean view from its second floor— a place to take your special someone to, your family, or to just sit and daydream on your lonesome. I have usually chosen the pasta dishes or the green curry. Very delicious. I look forward to trying other selections. Ken and Nana also very kindly helped me to arrange a snorkeling experience with their friend, Mr Kuro, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
