" Absolutely loved my visit to Secret Fort! The atmosphere felt like stepping into a slice of Japan, complete with charming decor that celebrates retro anime. The yakitori was phenomenal; I particularly enjoyed the mochi bacon wrap! Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, truly reflecting authentic flavors. I would recommend making a reservation as it gets packed quickly, but it’s totally worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)
