Field notes
The homepage presents a city picker, location-based browsing, and map or list results with yen prices and open status. It says downloaded city data works offline and distinguishes kitchen hours from door hours. Its pricing caveat is useful: chain prices are described as stable, while independent listings use typical lunch prices that the page says are within about ¥100 in spot checks.
