" I was lucky to have lunch at Marulilu today! I ordered the cheese omurice and it was heavenly. The cheese melted and combined with the soft rice just perfectly. I enjoyed the vibe of the cafe; it was relaxing and welcoming. It seems like a family-operated business, and we all know how that makes any meal feel delicious. I highly recommend giving it a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the small cozy vibe of Marulilu, but the wait can be long! I’ve tried their Japanese breakfast set, and it didn’t quite hold up to my expectations. The salmon was a bit overcooked, and I wasn’t a fan of the natto. That said, the coffee was exceptional, and the staff were friendly. I might give it another shot for lunch instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic little café! I appreciated their authentic approach to Japanese cuisine. I'm usually skeptical about trying Japanese breakfasts outside of Japan, but they nailed it. I had the traditional breakfast set, which included grilled salmon, rice, and miso soup. Everything was fresh and reminded me of home! The staff was warm and welcoming, making the experience feel even more authentic. I will be returning very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The café is quaint and cozy, perfect for a simple breakfast or lunch. I tried their Japanese breakfast set, which gave a nice variety of flavors. It was all well-prepared and made with good ingredients. The onigiri was a standout for me! My only complaint was that it was a bit noisy, but that added to the lively atmosphere. Friendly service completed the experience. Definitely a place I’ll return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Marulilu by chance and it immediately became one of my favorite spots! Super cute and filled with an array of authentic Japanese dishes, it’s a great place for brunch. The pancakes are fluffy and satisfying. The best part was how friendly the staff was. They made my day brighter. Can’t wait to try everything else on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing such great things about Marulilu Café, I gave it a shot and was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I felt at ease as soon as I walked in. I ordered the beef curry and was impressed by the balance of flavors. The portions were generous, and the price was more than fair. I’d definitely recommend trying this place if you’re craving authentic Japanese comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Marulilu Café for breakfast and had high expectations given the reviews, but it was just okay. The atmosphere is lovely, though! I felt the food lacked the rich depth I was hoping for. I ordered the garlic omurice, and while it tasted good, it reminded me of boxed curry sauce at times. Service was good, but I expected a bit more authenticity based on the hype. It's a cute place, but I might not rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
