First time coming here and even though I saw a table available they said that because we were a party of two we had to wait 30 - 50 min wait. They had a sign that said “no take out! No to go!” And the time I waited for my table in my car, I saw couple after couple coming and just leaving. We just left too. I saw at least six couple that just left, what a loss of revenue. If your not ready to serve food then get ready before you open. I wanted to try it but not anymore.

Food was amazing. The issue is the way they train their staff. They clean up around you to hurry you up. I see the place is small and I cna foresee making little money on tips. That doesn’t mean you hurry up the guests!have to wo on that. Place was hot too (temperature wise/ambient).

I liked the old location but I came here and I hated it. There was hevy metal music playing extremely loudly, the lighting was very dark and dim, the tables were out of proportion. The food itself was decent but unless they make serious scenery changes I'm not coming back.

I really like ramen. I’ve tried it all over the United States. I have to say, this is not ramen. Way to salty, pork is flavorless. I get the concept of order at the front and it is brought to you, but the people there are not skilled enough to even handle that. No customer service at all. I felt rushed from the second I walked through the door. I would not suggest this place. Go spend your money on top ramen at HEB and it will be better than this. Was not that busy and still took forever to get my food. I’ll be telling everyone to steer clear of this place.
So flavorful! Best spot in southern Texas! Best hospitality as well!

Ugh today everything was off. Asked for the gyoza for the meal, they were brought out as appetizers and then when I reminded the staff the girl just laughed and left them there anyways. I asked for them with the meal and she still didn’t want to take them crack until everyone at the table asked for a fresh batch with the meal she then took them back but keep them on the counter and brought them back with the rest of the food and warm at best They didn’t have the boa’s either the fried chicken bowl was ridiculously sweet so much that it was disgusting. You have to pay first and they ask for a tip. I wish I hadn’t t tipped The staff, well I won’t even comment on them. The ambiance was more like a bar scene not even able to hold a conversation . Not inviting at all. Don’t think I’ll be coming back.

Came in off of @forkit_(Ismael) TikTok recommendation. Ordered Spicy Warrior Ramen bowl and pork belly bao buns.Was kind of thrown off with a please wait to be seated sign but then asked for my order given I’ve never been here before, took a menu to look over but asked to step over to the bar while it wasn’t that busy and no one behind me.When ordering, kept feeling like they were only expecting me to order only what I had said at that point. Once again first time, especially with the format. Was directed to a table after paying.While waiting realized, though we’re only talking a $1 but still, there’s a 4% charge for non cash transaction… in a time post COVID? Would recommend a better POS dealer but ok….Got my ramen before the buns by about 5 mins as many people have stated before me.The food itself however was actually good overall. The ramen had a spice flavor to it and the buns with the pork belly were satisfying as could be. Overall filling and great taste!
The Ramen was amazing but here are my 3 biggest problems 1&2. You pay before you eat I typically tip based on service and just left 18% which for Ramen and edamame came out to 27.36 they assumed I wanted water. 3. The edamame came out after the Ramen so just know that seemed typical for all the appetizers. So I would suggest you just come here for Ramen it was amazing but that's about it the spicy edamame after the Ramen was new and left me salty as for only 1 star

I’m very very picky about food cause of my allergies. They were so accommodating, my tonkatsu was absolutely delicious (I finished it so fast) the location is right by a college which is great for people my age who want a delicious quick meal, and the people there are so friendly!Dietary restrictions: Mushrooms

I got the vegan ramen bowl and was amazed, it's so good it deserves its own cult, the chef whoever he may be should be considered a god emporer and and immortalized in history. Besides the food being great I really enjoyed the style of the restaurant, it really matches the vibe of a japanese ramen shop and the music is great, just one banger after another, 11/10 would come again. Servers are great, nothing but friendliness and smiles. It's nothing but love. The food is all made from scratch and as someone who has digestive problems it was such a refreshing experience to be able to enjoy something so delicious without suffering for it.Vegetarian options: The vegan bowl, edamame, and spicy edamame are great. Lots of umami, highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: If you have acid reflux you should be able to eat this food without issue.

New location!!! Smaller/less seating area compare to the other locations, but still got that great vibes from the decor and music ? selection….started of with the both the fried chicken and pork baos. Both delicious and very well marinated and prepared…my choice would be the chicken. Ordered the 2pc fried chicken bowl. Kinda like a teriyaki sesame oil type base StirFry yakisoba noodles with 2pc of their in-house fried chicken. Very tasty. Then the Tonkutsu miso ramen to finish off. I would prefer 2-3 thinner slices of the Chashu pork than 1 half inch chunk. Chef J knows his way of the Ramen. Very delicious!!!
