Came here the first time in the pandemic and had a picnic in the front row of our truck. Have come back a few more times since and food is consistent, reasonably priced, and good service.

The ramen was pretty tasty. The spicy ramen isn’t spicy, and they don’t put any peppers; it seems they add chili oil. We went in search of Naruto ramen.. while they don’t call it that, it looks pretty much like what Naruto eats, and my child was satisfied. *** not a fan of paying extra to use a credit card! ? if you have a Naruto fanatic, this will do the trick of satisfaction

Sebastian was a wonderful server. They finally are back at being great. They were great when covid hit, we made it a habit of going once a week. And then they got lazy and constantly forgetting little thing like putting the spice in the broth. Which made the ramen just taste bitter. So gave up on their ramen. But went last week and again today and it was consistent. Very happy we can go back to having really good ramen.

AMAZING Ramen! The I got the Yuzu Ramen bowl with a 5 level spice and it was IMMACULATE! Absolutely would recommend eating here! Calm, relaxing environment, and the waiter was so kind!

This is a wonderful place to visit for delicious, authentic Japanese food and a calm atmosphere! The menu has many options, from bento boxes to ramen, and a a nice drink section which includes green tea and ramune( Japanese marble soda). Customer service is excellent.Vegetarian options: The menu includes many vegetarian options for both ramen and bento box. These are marked with a green leaf near the title of the dish.Parking: Depending on the time you visit, the parking lot can be very cramped.

Got pork ramen and it tasted genuinely like rotten fish. Did not get the fish cake in it because not a big fish person but it still tasted like fish. Service was great and he did what he could hit when I sent back the ramen due to taste they still made me pay for the original and the remake which also tasted rotten. Didn't eat it, paid a lot of money and won't be coming back although I have eaten there before and it was great.

I popped in last night to give this place a try after driving past it hundreds of times before. The restaurant was quiet and very very clean, which I always appreciate. Service was super friendly and fast! My server let me know that the sprite may have been running out of syrup and to let him know if it tasted at all off so he could replace it, I heard him mention it to other diners that ordered sprite, and that’s such a great sign of attentive servers that warms my heart. As a solo diner I frequently get service that isn’t all that great, but not here!I ordered chicken katsudon which comes with miso soup and salad. The miso soup was delicious, flavorful, and warming. The salad was okay- the dressing was delicious but there wasn’t enough of it on the fairly plain greens. The chicken katsudon itself was absolutely incredible. The chicken was crispy, well seasoned, and didn’t get soggy under the eggs and onions that top the dish. The onions were soft and added great texture to the dish. The steamed white rice under the chicken was perfectly cooked and had just enough sauce on it to carry it through every last bite. Overall the dish tasted the way a warm hug after a bad rainy day feels. The portion was generous and I left happy with a full belly.I can’t wait to try more offerings from the menu, as I am sure to return!

First time here and first time eating ramen. Recommend. The place stayed busy the whole time we were there. The food was good and staff was respectful.

Tasty food. Good service. A good variety of foods. Chicken katsu was very thin, looked like just the crust. But other than that, my parents liked them. Thumbs up

The Ramen was ok. The pork was not cooked and my wife and I both got sick after eating there.

While having lunch with my son today, he bit into this plastic piece. I have no idea what else could have been inside our ramen bowls. The only thing they did was to explain that they have no idea how the plastic had gotten into my son's bowl and deduct his bowl from the bill. Needless to say but we're never going back.

The takoyaki here is good but the salad we got was super old. We only got it to-go so I don't know about in house service but overall, the food is decent here at least.

They cut their portion sizes in half for the ramen and are still charging the same price. The Mochi is not good at all, brittle and disappointing and way overpriced for the mochi received. I gave 2 stars because the ramen is delicious and the staff are very friendly, but only 2 stars for halving their portion sizes and keeping the same price.

It's raining, cold, and windy. All these add up to create the need for something hot and delicious to fill up the soul. Ramen was calling. After looking around for awhile to find a good place to eat at, this was the best out of all them. I'll start by saying that the service was extremely great! Curtis was an exceptional server and gave good recommendations. This man really went up and beyond to make sure that my dining experience was extraordinary. The Crab Rangoon was okay. It was harder and tougher to chew than I thought it would be. Normally it would be super easy to bite and chew but these were on the tougher side that actually required some effort to eat. Flavor wise it was good. Nice and subtle and wasn't exploding in your face with a loud flavor that would make you tired of eating them. The Seafood Ramen was definitely lacking in the flavor department. The miso broth that was used wasn't the best miso I ever had and tasted like a lesser quality compared to others I've had in the past. However, the fish balls were very good! It had a hint of sweetness to them which was a nice balance of savory and sweet. Had a good amount of shrimp and fish balls but the amount of crab that I was receiving was definitely not it. I cracked 2 legs and the amount of meat cumulatively would equal 1 leg. Menu does say it has mussels but mine didn't have any and the egg fell apart and had no flavor compared to other ramen eggs. All I can say is that this is a place. I've definitely had worst ramen.

Overall, a nice ramen with a standout broth and generous portion.Tonkotsu broth was among the best I have had overall! Toppings were generous in quantity but they also didn't really seem to be targeted to compliment each individual bowl as for the basic ramen they all come with the same toppings. Some of the flavors, such as the naruto didn't really compliment the rich pork flavor at all.The amount of pork belly I was given was EXTEMELY generous compared to some other places I've been, 5 or 6 pieces probably? But I can't help but feel it may have been a bit freezer burned as it had a distinct "dusty" flavor that is usually associated with freezer burned pork belly.All in all, a good bowl of ramen that was carried by a FANTASTIC broth.I would probably come here again and ask for what they think is the best bowl on the menu.
