i loooovvee this place!! you have to try the jalapeño poppers as well as the ramen. my go to is the miso ramen medium spicy and it’s perfect amount of spicy if you can handle it. i’ve tried many ramen restaurants in fresno and none compare to the ramen here. it has much more flavor than the broth at other ramen restaurants. the servers here are kind and the owner always welcomes us back and asks how things are. definitely check this place out.

Took my friend for some sushi, ramen and more.The calamari is different from others. It's long sticks that are breaded. Should be bite size in my opinion. Harder to enjoy. Bland, no flavor including the dipping sauce.We got 3 rolls: Player, Rolls Royce and Bulldog. The Bulldog was really good. Rolls Royce was ok. Player isn't my thing because it was flamed. To each their own.Ramen was good. Tastes better than expected. The special seaweed salad was good. Loved it. Spicy edamame was good too.Would definitely go back. Just recommend making reservations unless you're ok waiting 20 minutes or so. That's what happened with us. But staff was super friendly.

Tried this place on a spur of the moment craving of Ramen. First of all the service was exceptional. From the time we were greeted to the moment we left we were given great service. The food was delicious! I ordered ramen and the other person ordered stir fried ramen. We enjoyed some jalapeño poppers as well. Everything was delicious and fresh!!! Would recommend and would come again!Shoutout to the owner for coming by and checking in on us.

Our lady server is very precise so we were comfortable knowing the Yasai Ramen, and Beef Teriyaki with California Roll would be as expected. The Yasai and California Roll are very good. The beef was good though slightly on the tough side. We'd eat here again.

First off let me just say, wow. 5 stars for this place because they fulfilled all of my wishes. From the service, to food, to ambiance. Great great restaurant. When I first walked in, my boyfriend and I were seated at the bar. It was busy and we didn't mind the bar. The waiter came to take our drink order and let us look at the menu. Then! Jerry came out to greet us and thank us for coming by. What a cool surprise, great hospitality. We then ordered our food and it came out in a timely manner. Food was great, my favorite were the avocado bombs. My boyfriend had the ramen which was fantastic! The noodles were nice and bouncy. While eating, the chefs at the bar even asked if we needed more water which was nice. Our server was super sweet. As we ended our delicious meal, we packed up to leave. Again, we experienced more lovely hospitality from the chefs at the bar and the host as they were thanking us for coming. 10/10 recommending this place to everyone I know. I wish the best for this restaurant in the new upcoming year.

I would give 10/10 stars but 5 is the max. Amazing!
The service crew is fast and courteous. The tempura was alright but it can be better. However, the ramen was not ok. Since i was craving for ramen i thought of giving it a try since the reviews here in yelp were positive. It really needs some improvent on the taste generally. It lacked the depth and the flavor a ramen is known for. The noodles were just like straight from a box and the broth was just so so.

One of the dishes they brought out, I couldn't even tell what it was, the spare ribs had a freezer burn taste to it... The soup was delicious, and I ordered salt and pepper squid but ended up with just fried squid, which was good.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, there is access for a wheelchair
