How we read reviews →Mentone brunch cafe with a Japanese twist, famous for its salmon stack and hidden-gem ramen.
Bright, plant-filled Mentone cafe with warm timber furniture (Tamara Gasselin) and a laid-back, family-friendly brunch buzz that gets genuinely busy on weekends.
Indoor-outdoor seating, pet-friendly with dog bowls provided (Sherry Watson), and a Japanese-French cross-menu blending ramen and udon alongside classic brunch fare.
Reviewers describe a Japanese-French cross-influence (ramen, udon, okonomiyaki alongside classic brunch fare) rather than a single-heritage claim.
Weekday value is solid per most reviewers, but a recurring complaint is the 15% weekend surcharge stacked with a card fee, called misleading or excessive by Harley K, Penny Chen, and Will Woods.
