Went for lunch today and was not disappointed at all. Staff were super accommodating and patient with our children. Food came out flawless and was completely delicious. 10/10 5 stars. We’ll be back without a doubt!

Stopped in as they opened for lunch. Would certainly return. Enjoyed the to tonkotsu ramen and hot jasmine tea(I wish the tea was served in a more traditional style vs a jasmine tea bag in glass mug). Friendly service from Natalie as well.

Absolutely amazing service from Ben! Very homey for a restaurant, but loved the atmosphere. Husband had the ramen and I had the curry rice. Hands down the matcha crème brûlée was super tasty. Thank you for a wonderful experience while we were visiting the area from Idaho.

I had the chicken wonton ramen, outstanding. We were all really pleased with the food and service. It feels like authentic Japanese cuisine, with a calming and inviting atmosphere. We are definitely coming back again.

I haven’t been able to find good Japanese food in a long time, this was great !Added to that, the lady working there was amazingly kind and helpful, she even helped us finding a ride back since there was no uber nor Lyft available, we’re very grateful and will come again when we have the opportunity,Thanks a million,Marina and Maugan.

This is one of my favorite spots for a date in Erie. I’ve had the beef donburi and the beef curry, both had great flavor. My significant other enjoys their vegetarian ramen.

Was here today with a friend for lunch, and I love everything about this place. Our server, Natalie, was so nice. I love the ambiance! We got there shortly after noon, so there weren't a lot of people there. The beef wonton ramen was delicious. I also ordered the flourless chocolate torte, and it was very rich, but also very good. My friend enjoyed the spicy miso ramen also! The portions are great; you may need to take some home! The price is reasonable too!This place is definitely worth checking out. I know I'll be back to try other things on their menu

First visit here we of course went for the ramen. We started with the wings, which were fantastic. We will be back to explore other menu items. It was nice that “build-your-own” ramen bowl was an option. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. The atmosphere was lovely…a fireplace would have made it perfect. We missed out on the crepe cake, but the blueberry cheesecake was phenomenal! We will be back.Parking: Finding a spot seems like it could be challenging if they were quite busy.

My fiancé and I went here for date night for the first time. I have been looking for a good ramen place for a long time in Erie. My first impression when walking in was how wonderful the dining room looked. It had big tall windows that gave a beautiful view of the outside, modestly but tastefully decorated interior, and relaxing background music playing. The owner greeted us warmly and was wonderful the entire time. She provided us with engaging conversation and good recommendations for the food. When I was struggling to decide between which two beverages to go for, Rose lemonade or ginger tea, she brought out both saying one was on the house. Both drinks were excellent! Neither too sweet. The tea is perfect for a cold day and the lemonade on a hot day. We had the edamame and chicken kara-a-ge (described as an Asian Chicken Nugget) for appetizers. Both were amazing. My fiancé had chicken wonton ramen and I had the tonkotsu. Both were packed with flavor and I would order either again without hesitation. For dessert we split the Matcha Creme Brule. It was nothing like I expected but delicious! Overall, hidden treasure of Erie and will definitely be back!

The place was hidden in a quiet corner by the airport. Nicely decorated, clean and mellow vibe. The menu can be a little daunting if you are not familiar with ramen cuisine. I chose a beef and vegetable rice bowl and my partner ordered a spicy miso chicken dish. We also order a fried chicken appetizer. The food was good, not great. The spice level in the miso could have been spicier but the broth was tasty and there were a lot of vegetables with the noodles. The beef could have been more flavorful but overall the food was tasty. Our server was not the most attentive or talkative but service was prompt.
