Frommer's Review

A converted rice kura, with a high-beamed ceiling, wooden floors, slabs of wood for tables, and locally crafted bent-wood chairs, makes for a lovely, airy setting, heightened by eclectic cuisine, hip waiters, and jazz. The English-language menu has lots of great salads (I especially like the "Agura Original Salad" with lettuce, spinach, boiled egg, tomato, ham, tuna, and sprouts), pizzas fired in a wood-burning stove, and food that goes down well with beer, including roasted tuna with a honey sauce, Vietnamese spring rolls, and steaks served with garlic soy sauce.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
