Ammachi Traditional Food Center

👍👍 Very decent food at relatively okay prices.
The food here is freshly made, well almost all, and you can buy most items just off the pot.
The dishes are very tasty and there are many to choose from the different stalls. The stall at the end makes fresh juice so it's perfect on a hot day.
