Ordered the sukiyaki beef udon, boiled veggie tofu set and the egg plant dish. The dishes were tasty and the beef was extremely tender. Overall good food experience, albeit in the middle of nowhere. They seemed a bit understaff so perhaps may need a little patience. Overall, not a bad place to dine in.

Dropped by for lunch on the way to Osaka. Decent menu options also for Western people, service was nice and friendly, food arrived pretty quickly. We ordered a Korean Bibimbap, Fried Oysters and Ramen. Portions of the lunch set were quite large, more than what we could eat (e.g. the Ramen came with some condiments, rice and decent set of Gyozas which was like a meal in itself. The Bibimbap came with a well sized 'mini' udon soup. All meals were quite nice, not the best but not the worst either. Certainly tasty and good quality. I would go back if I was in the area again. Definitely one of the best options if you are passing by.
