Customer Reviews

★★★★☆ 4.0 Richard Munn · Mar 2026

Super friendly staff, really good food and very generous portions. I have just one complaint: the sauces they serve with their appetizers, sweet chili, teriyaki etc are way too small. Rather than a small bowl or dish like most restaurants they serve the sauces in very tiny little paper cups. They serve an appetizer of six really good spring rolls that comes with enough sauce for two spring rolls, three at most if lightly dipped. They’re way too skimpy with the sauces, but otherwise a really good restaurant.

The food wasdelicious- bold, spicy flavors that really stood out. Each dish was well-seasoned and the portion sizes were generous SERVICE: Despite the restaurant being quite busy, the service was impressively quick. The staff was clearly hardworking, efficiently managing multiple tables and takeout orders at once.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Alanna Dumaran (Lanna) · Jan 2026

Got the black garlic tonkotsu and spicy miso ramen… the tonkotsu was salty and the spicy miso was way too spicy (other places we’ve had spicy miso wasn’t nearly as hot as this). We’re big foodies and this just was not it… egg was bland, noodles didn’t taste very good, broth was salty. Gave two stars because our server was nice but I wouldn’t recommend the food. Don’t bother bringing babies/ toddlers, there’s no changing tables.

Delicious ramen and friendly staff. I love their veggie ramen and gyoza. Our table also had the soup dumplings and spring rolls and thought they were great.

★★★★★ 5.0 byron lanwi · Feb 2026

Food was amazing. I had the tonkatsu shoyu ramen and it was delicious. The broth was smooth and creamy. Noodles were nice and chewy. My girlfriend had the spicy miso ramen and she said it was delicious as well. Recommend to come check it out.
