Old review from 5yrs ago***** if you like ramen and asian style food this place is a must try spot. The chicken wings are absolutly delicious. Although you only get 4 pieces , but they are worth trying. My kids love the wings and soup.Updated review 2024******This place has new ownership. Not what it use to be. The foods ok. Staff is still great and friendly its just not the same.

The miso cake was amazing! So was the marinated egg. The rest of the meal was just… underwhelming. And a bit too salty without any other flavor going on… ?

Have been here several times and am always impressed! The triple garlic ramen and pork tonkotsu ramen are fantastic, appetizers have always exceeded expectations, and I’ve gotten my favorite daiquiri from here, definitely stop by!

A very unique take on Ramen dishes for sure. Great selection to try ! The spicy red curry Ramen with Chicken and the Kimchi Ramen with Chicken are two great examples. The flavors are amazing. They have a nice selection of Japanese whiskeys to choose from and Sake too! Full bar, old fashioned was very good as well. Unique desserts too. The service was stellar, they were very busy and still made us feel like we were honored guests and the waitress was super helpful and friendly. The price was great and well below expectations considering the quality of the food and service. Give them a try, tell them I sent you ?

Definitely my favorite restaurant in Ghent. The food can be pricey but I just come by at 4 to 6 for the happy hour prices. The bar has some great mixes and the sticky wings are incredible.Parking: The park lot can get pretty full holding space for the Aldi and other stores. I've rarely have a problem with the parking.

The chicken sticky wings were amazing!I loved the ramen.I would stay away from the shredded pork as it was a bit too salty. But the chicken and chasu were delish!We also ended up ordering the butter cake and that was delightful. I'll get it again when I go back!

This was my first time coming here and I thought the food was pretty good (I got the shoyu ramen with pork belly and bok choy). The atmosphere and decoration of the place was very relaxing especially on a rainy night! I liked the manga decorations on the booths and the anime playing in the background. Our server was very nice and friendly and when we mentioned we were celebrating he gave us a free cake! I definitely recommend going here and would come again!! :))
