" Disappointing experience at Marulilu. While I loved the cozy atmosphere, we received slow service and our food arrived lukewarm. The omurice was average compared to others I’ve had. I appreciate their attempt at authenticity, but for the price, I expected more freshness. I hope my next visit is better; I’d hate to give up on this cafe altogether. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful lunch! The chicken katsu was nicely cooked and paired well with rice. The flavors brought back fond memories of my trips to Japan. The café itself has a warm yet vibrant atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal. I felt like family as soon as I walked in. I will cherish this visit and definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for the best omurice in town, look no further! Marulilu never disappoints. The garlic rice is so good, and I love how they let you choose your sauce. The staff are friendly and always make you feel welcome. The décor feels cozy, and it's generally a nice vibe. I'm a repeat customer for a reason – the consistency speaks for itself. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Marulilu Café is one of those places that feels like home. I’ve been coming here for years, and they’ve maintained a nice consistency in quality. Their omurice is simply the best I’ve had! Every time I visit, I feel the warmth from the staff, who are always ready to serve with a smile. The portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. This café truly captures the essence of homestyle Japanese cooking. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I adore this little café! Whenever I need a pick-me-up, I come here for the best green tea latte and onigiri. The flavors are so authentic – it feels like I’m back in Japan. The staff are incredibly sweet and remember my name, which makes me feel valued as a customer. A must-visit for all sushi and comfort food lovers! " (*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*)
