Based on the location right on the beach I thought this place is sure to be a tourist trap. But the food is delicious! It feels so cozy, like a grandma's house. And there is a very lovely grandma who is serving up tasty home cooked meals. They even have a whole entire stack of menus - everything from English to Korean to German to french.

We came here around 3pm for an afternoon tea. Look from outside, it's a normal shop next to beach among others easily missed. When you get it, it feels like u jump in to another place with gorgeous pacific ocean view, cute s outside, warm and vintage setup and furniture. Food is soooo . Must try the tea set with this excellent apple pie. Different from what it used to and very tasty. The old lady is friendly and can speak English, English Chinese and Korean menu are also available. It's a relaxing and fantastic place, highly recommended!
