Before we get to the food let's talk about the atmosphere. This place is beautiful. 10/10 for the ambiance. The playlist here is always right on point. The staff is remarkable. Very attentive and always willing to accommodate.

The greatest soup you will ever try but the last two times they were out of the chefs special. But seriously amazing soup, we drive 45 minutes to get it.

Aaran and Gracie, are amazing every visit!! I love them so much that I would only sit where they serve! They give great recommendations! The food is always hot and the service is superb! My favorite meal is a the super duper spicy miso ramen with pork belly, an extra side of short rib, x2 eggs, sometimes just one egg. The meals are so fulfilling. I had devoured it prior to writing this review. Today was the first time, I’ve tried the Panko shrimp. Yes, it’s crispy, lightly seasoned and just the right crunch! I’ve enjoyed this meal tonight with an Ani Bottle of wine. This spot is a Boyb! Thank god Aaran told me after so many visits. I did notice my Uber Eats and Doordash account, I order takeout 2-3 a month and eat in 3 times this month alone. I love this location and service!

We got food to-go with some extras, which came at an additional cost, but did not receive the main portion of the extra. While the food was tasty, the portion size was incredibly small for what we've seen in the reviews and on the website.

Food: 4/5. Flavor and umami is there. Pretty big bowl of ramen for what you get. The bao buns are good. Chicken kaarage is average.I have been here a couple of times and the ramen doesn't disappoint. Me and my friends do not recommend the rice bowls. They're subpar. This is a ramen place. Go for the ramen. Service: I mainly order out but the two times I dined in, the servers were attentive and friendly. Didn't have trouble getting service or refills or anything. I had no issues.Ambiance: The music is very low so it is easy to talk and hear people at your table. The place is not that big but the high ceilings make the place feel and look more spacious.Good choice for a casual lunch/dinner with family/friends.

The whole crew of workers were terrible at this place. They were rude, almost like we were bothering them for being there. They were not warm, not accommodating and rushing. And rap music the whole time in a place that serves Japanese food? I didn't expect that.The food was subpar, didn't taste like ramen, but processed soup. The bao buns were good at least.

Ramen is a go to for the winter blues. I do enjoy ani ramen and the base of the broth is yummy. We got pork belly bao buns, I think they are average- the best I have ever had is at cellar 335 in Jersey city so nothing else ever compares. We got the wings, I give them a 7.5 out of 10. They are crispy, nice flavor. And the ramen ofcourse I got the chefs special No. 3 and it did it the spot.I went for a late lunch and it was quiet and nice. The service was good, no one rushed me. Seemed that everyone was on auto pilot due to the weather which is understandable.
