★★★★★ 5.0 Jacqueline Telljohann · Oct 2025

After a recent trip to Texas, Texas/Asian fusion is one of my favorite cuisines and I was impressed to find this spot in Telluride. My husband and I shared: - Grilled Brisket Nigiri - Buttermilk Chicken Rice Bowl - Pork on Pork Ramen - Raw Berry Bar All of the savory items were fantastic. The nigiri and rice bowl were my favorites. The chicken was so crispy and I loved the sauce. The ramen was also very good. I loved the BBQ twist on it. I personally didn't love the raw berry bar. I was hoping for more passion fruit flavor, but it wasn't as flavorful as passion fruit typically is. My only complaint is that the service was very bad. We were the only ones there and the waiter was ignoring us watching TV. If I'm in Telluride for dinner again, I would absolutely come back here.

Beautiful atmosphere and incredible food! The Buffalo cauliflower was amazing and everyone loved their ramens. The service was also great. The entire upstairs was full and one person was managing it all with ease. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you are in the area!

We had a great experience dining here. We didn’t have reservations so we sat upstairs in the first-come-first-serve section. They have an extensive cocktail menu. We ordered the Brussels sprouts then the brisket and pork belly rice plates. Both were delicious. I would highly recommend this place.

How does this not have 5 starts?! First of all our server Danielle was knowledgeable and so kind! She told us about everything that goes into making their delicious brisket and told us it’s smoked for 12 hours! They had an incredible mocktail menu with adaptogens and delicious flavors. We tried the buffalo cauliflower with coconut ranch and the brisket ramen. 10/10 must try if you are in Telluride for Dinner! Atmosphere was also great 👍

This was a nice treat for dinner after driving, hiking, and shopping all day. Many of the restaurants were closed since we're here between tourist seasons. But that was fine because we wanted ramen as soon as we saw their menu. My girlfriend is vegetarian, so the Mushroom ramen was perfect. I had the Pork on Pork ramen with pulled pork and pork belly. A superb broth with an egg and many good veggies. We also had the Buffalo Cauliflower for a starter which was also excellent. Our server Danielle was the only one on duty in the bar, yet she was so friendly and efficient. Unfortunately we got so full that we couldn't have one of the 3 enticing dessert options. Maybe next time.
