This is absolutely one of my favorite places to go to in Birmingham. I always recommend them to any of my friends coming from out of town. Been going here for years and have only had great experiences.
Food, service, atmosphere are all world class and at a great value. All the small plates and ramen are killer but the lobster ramen has to be my favorite.
I ordered the ramen. It was just okay. But it’s a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. They have much better options if you eat meat but for vegetarian & vegan dishes, it is extremely limited.

One of my favorite restaurants in downtown Birmingham. The ambiance is great, not noisy at all and with a very cool vibe. Service is top-notch and the food is amazing. The ramen is cooked to perfection with layers of flavor.
Came in for a late dinner. Ordered multiple things from the menu. Ordered the pups, they were horrible. Strange bitter taste, we both tried to eat them but they were definitely offensive to our palate. I told the waitress multiple times that we did not like them and couldn’t eat them. She never had a response. I spoke with the host about the taste. He then said he would have the manager to come by. The manager never came to the table! He sent a message by the server that it wouldn’t be removed from the check and he was sorry that it wasn’t good. Horrible customer service!!!! Never mind all the other items that we purchased! NEVER AGAIN!!!! Cook good food and maybe this won’t be an issue!

I have ate at this restaurant about 5 times now and NEVER had an issue with food and service. I do get this one particular waitress that is not really mean nor friendly and it’s off putting. Imagine trying to eat your food and you kind of have someone watching and hovering over you? I’ve had her twice and each time I felt weird. Particularly today, I ordered the peach ice cream and matcha cookies and I did not like it because the cookies were hard, had no flavor and the icecream had a very strong alcoholic flavor that left a BAD TASTE in my mouth, it just doesn’t work well. . I was not a fan of this because it was not mentioned in the description. I asked for it to be removed because I did not not eat it and I was told “ item can’t be removed because you do not like it” and I found it to be a very weird policy especially if you see the whole item is untouched and customer asked for check to pay for the rest of the items BUT that one. I will continue to come here but I am not a fan of some of the waitress/waiter’s attitude. IAN is a great waiter!! He was so kind to me and my friends whenever we got assigned to him!
The crab claws and spicy miso ramen TASTE SO GREAT THOUGH! 🩷

Great restaurant with a limited but wholesome menu of ramen dishes along with small plates and snacks. Located right across from the beautiful Alabama theatre, the interior is a dark and intimate setup with real oil lamps (don't touch!) and friendly, helpful hostess and table service. My only minor complaints would be the limited menu and just how incredibly dark 🕶️ it is inside the restaurant. Other than that, it's a great experience. ❤️
I along with a few other people decided to try this place since it had been recommended to us before. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself was interesting and different. However, the experience fell short when we waited to be seated—only to be told after we were left with the menu for a while to be informed that they were sold out of over half their items. Very ill prepared. Smart tactic I suppose to wait until after we had waited and everything else was closed. We were limited so a majority of us went with the Spicy Miso Ramen. Ramen was cooked well but it was definitely more spice than flavor. Soy egg was a nice touch and the pork belly had good flavor alone. They also had a funny imitation of takoyaki that was made like hush puppies. The cornbread mix completely over cooked the octopus (which lacked in general) so it was hard. Over all, it’s more so of a place for an “experience” rather than traditional ramen and food alike.
I ordered the “seafood ramen”. The broth and noodles were amazing but the shrimp was very bland & you only get 2 skinny pieces so that was a bit of a let down. Besides that the ambiance, music & atmosphere was wonderful & romantic.

If I could give a ZERO star I would. The service in here was absolutely horrible and I don’t believe they like African American individuals. Save your money and support another business elsewhere.
