About this place
Some people come to Cafe883 for the pork ginger. One diner, taken with its sauce, recalled how well it went with rice; another enjoyed a set meal featuring two thick slices of pork. The menu says the two thick-cut slices are cooked sous vide at a low temperature, allowing the sauce to seep into the meat. Served with rice and miso soup, it makes a satisfying choice for lunch or dinner.
For something with a fragrant herbal note, consider the herb-roasted chicken thigh. The menu describes a portion of around 200 grams scented with basil and rosemary. One diner singled out the meat’s springy texture and the crispness and aroma of the herbs served alongside it. Whether you opt for pork ginger with its sauce and rice or the herb-seasoned chicken, both set meals come with rice and miso soup.
If you plan to linger after your meal, one diner’s account of ordering a freshly brewed 883 blend afterwards may be useful. The menu describes it as a dark-roast-style coffee made with beans from Nicaragua, Guatemala and Honduras, with a full body and a gentle finish. A drinks set is also available with meals at lunchtime. Alongside coffee, options include tea, honey chamomile tea and iced drinks, so you can choose according to your mood.
Pasta is another option. The Japanese-style Napolitan is made with an original tomato sauce, while the cream pasta with baby scallops and asparagus uses Italian flat noodles. Each dish is prepared to order, so allow a little extra time when choosing pasta.
