Great spot for Japanese food. The pork ramen was really good, and the sushi was fresh and tasty. The drinks were really enjoyable, and the service at the bar was excellent. Definitely worth a visit
The food was very good but the service wasn't the best. Our server was kind but we had to flag him down because he didn't come to the table for over 25 minutes to take our entree orders. The happy hour deals were good with great cocktails. (Happy Hour is from 3pm to 7pm daily!!!) Additionally, the sushi and the ramen is very tasty. I got the gyoza and the crunchy salmon roll and they are my absolute favorite every time!
I have been there 3 times, and the food was consistently very delicious. One of my go-to place for sure! Behaviour of the staffs is really nice.
The gyoza, while too crispy, was delicious. My wife loves the spicy edamame. The spicy ramen was pretty good, unfortunately the egg literally dissolved between my chopsticks. The egg thing was annoying cause I like to pick up my egg and eat it, but not the worst case scenario cause at least I could mix the yolk in with the ramen. The music was loud which drove the conversation around the dining room to reach insane levels. The mix of the two was basically a cocophany of audible assault. Overall the place was nice, I'll definitely be back, just not at dinner rush.
We came here for my 14 year old son's bday and it wasn't bad. Jacob our server was attentive and the atmosphere was cool. We sat at the low table to get that relaxed experience. The Ramen was comforting on that gloomy day which added to the experience. I would go again.
Karaage chicken was absolutely delicious just like the Chicken ramen & the shoyu ramen. Both with rich flavor, not too much but not too plain. Great service overall. The sushi was not that good but we only got the cheap one not the specialty. Very busy place but it was worth the wait.
The ambiance was spectacularly Asian themed. Really cute and clean. Exceptional service with delicious food made to your order request and my man wants me to be sure I mention how reasonably priced it is: "the bill was like $50 and I got two hot sakes two drinks and two ramen bowls with a tea" I'm glad he enjoyed his drinks and food as much as I did!
First time visiting here tonight and definitely had a memorable meal! I ordered the Shoyu ramen, and it had incredibly flavorful broth, the absolute perfect soft boiled egg, and char siu that just melted in my mouth, perfectly textured bouncy noodles. The Takoyaki was crisp on the outside, soft and creamy inside, and seasoned to perfection. My husband ordered the vegetable ramen, and it came with a generous portion and variety of vegetables, and a mild but very tasty broth. Our friendly server Kayla really went above and beyond to make the experience special for us, she made us feel so welcome. 10/10 will definitely be back again! :)
