Thoughts: The Cafe offers "手工製作的日本餃子 Handmade Japanese Gyoza, 拉麵 Ramen & 蓋飯 Donburi" and specialize in 中華料理 Chūka Ryōri. AND Chuka Ryori (中華料理) is the Japanese adaptation of Chinese cuisine, which has evolved over decades to cater towards the Japanese palate. For example today early dinner's rm$18.90 "日式回鍋肉 Hoikoro (ホイコーロ)" - sometimes called "Twice-cooked pork" or "Double-cooked pork", which is a Chinese dish in 四川料理 Sichuan cuisine. The 猪肉煮熟 pork is simmered, 切片 sliced, and then 再炒 stir-fried - "回鍋 returned to the wok." The 豬肉搭配炒蔬菜 pork is accompanied with stir-fried vegetables, most commonly 蒜芽 garlic sprouts, but often 小韭菜 baby leeks, 高麗菜 cabbage, 青椒 bell peppers, 洋蔥 onions, or 蔥 scallions. 
I'd say the must try here is the Cafe's Signature rm$13.90 "餃子 Gyoza" which comes in 6pcs, wrapped in thin Gyoza skin, not overly pan fried and definitely very tasty fillings; accompanied with a light soya sauce sprinkled with some sesame seeds! 
Solomen Cafe is one of the single shop lot along the 2 row of shop lots at SS2/24; "SOLOMEN" are the combination of word ‘SOLO’ & ‘MEN’, which means freelancers and customers who are ramen lovers as their Ramen, Sauces, Broth, fillings and Gyoza skin are totally handmade from fresh ingredients. This is probably one of the better Chinese-style inspired Japanese cooking in PJ SS2 Neighborhood.
