IKKO Japanese Ramen House was an overall good experience. Servers were amazing and fast, but the restaurant itself seemed to be doing far too much. Upon walking in, there is a Boba tea counter to your left with its own menu and server, and then directly behind host stand on right, is a poke bowl and sushi station with its own menu and staff, and then when you are seated - you get ANOTHER menu and a server.I got the crab puffs and edamame for appetizers. Crab puffs had a very strange texture inside, and they were quite sweet. Edamame was just a microwaved bowl of whole pods with some salt on top (for ~$5 + tax).I also ordered a dragon roll sushi - which was very off putting. The sauce was way too sticky and sweet, and the eel had turned rubbery from being out too long. Crab inside had same strange texture as Crab puffs, did not finish.My main was the Gyu Don, and loved the steak - but there was WAYYY too much rice. Pretty sure it came with yum yum sauce, but I wish they instead sent a little bowl of the sauce they cooked the steak in instead.

Had some time to kill while daughter had theatre practice. Read some reviews and this place did not disappoint! Far better than the pace across the street IMO. The UAB roll was delicious and HUGE. The California roll was solid. Will definitely be back and will try more. Their poke looked amazing!!

Their food is good. I've had Japanese food that suited my taste better though. Just a little pricy for a lunch with my grandson. Still, overall, good.

This establishment provides an exceptional culinary experience, specializing in authentic Japanese cuisine, ranging from sushi to ramen. The hostesses are courteous and welcoming, making it my preferred destination for both beverages, including a diverse selection of boba tea, and delectable desserts, such as the highly recommended fried cheesecake.

Went for lunch yesterday. We had Japanese rolls, I had the tonkotsu ramen and my wife had a mardi gras sushi roll. Everything was good and the service was very quick and friendly.

I've eaten here twice before, once two years ago, and once again today, and I have to say, the food here is delicious! Today, I got the takoyaki and the seafood ramen, and my friends got like a hot and sour ramen and a steak sumo soba bowl. We all enjoyed our food. Not to mention, they have HUGE portions. For about 15-20$ each, we each got enough food to be at least 2 meals for the 3 of us. I'd come back again if I was in town. :)

The staff are so sweet. They bring your food on a rolling tray and I love that! The bathrooms are clean. Parking is available on the side of the building. The ginger salad was delicious. Mushroom soup so good. Steak fried rice I wish had vegetables in it. But it was good. The food all tasted sweet. I wish it had a more savory taste. Great sweet tea! The freshest California rolls! Amazing poke bowls. Live the Boba teas!

Ramen was so tasty that we came back the very next day for take out! Seriously delicious. They have a ramen bar, poke, bar, and boba. I got milk tea the second day and it was good, but pearls were a tad chewy for my personal taste. Good info to know if it’s your first time: they have a free parking lot specifically for their patrons so you don’t have to spend time finding a meter near by.

There are a lot of fusion style restaurants around town that are pretty decent to "so-so". I wasn't expecting much, and was surprised by how good the food was. Gyōza was cooked perfectly, sushi tasted fresh, yakitori was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and the pork belly in the ramen was actually a thicker cut (as opposed to a bacon-like thinness).Food came out almost instantly, and everyone was paying attention to what was going on guest-wise.This'll definitely a regular place for us. I'm glad they opened a business.
