About this place
The chicken in TONER’s khao man gai is remarkably tender, while the rice is soft. It is one lunch option for anyone who enjoys that combination of textures. The menu also includes chicken over rice, gapao rice and spinach chicken curry. One diner enjoyed the chicken over rice with spiced chicken, lettuce, white sauce and rice.
Coffee and something sweet make a good choice after a meal or for a café stop. Some diners have praised the Basque cheesecake for its smooth texture and moderate sweetness. Others enjoyed the crisp crumble topping and banana and chocolate-chip flavours of the banana muffin. Choose a slice of cake, or pair coffee with a lighter sweet treat, depending on your mood.
Alongside familiar lattes, the coffee menu offers hand-drip brews that let you compare the character of different beans. Ethiopia Guji Uraga is described as having notes of white grape, apple and tea, while Ethiopia Yirgachefe Konga is associated with blueberry, Darjeeling tea and floral notes. Try a fruit-forward coffee or a milk-based drink, and find a favourite to enjoy with a sweet.
The Nishi-Gotanda café is described as suitable for dining alone or working on a laptop. It has terrace seating, and information indicates that dogs are welcome. Drop in for lunch or a coffee break, depending on what you are looking for.
