Welcoming, chill spot for sushi and ramen. Everything was very good.
We found this place online so we decided to try it out. Big mistake. This place was dead for a Friday night. There were 3 of us , 2 out of 3 ordered Ramen & i ordered wings. After we ordered it took 20 minutes for the Ramen to come out then a another 20 minutes for my wings to show up. My wings were burnt & drenched in sauce. Not happy.
I went to wash my hands afterwards & there was no hot water at the sink. I mean no water coming out of the faucet then no paper towels. Not out of towels Not even a place to put towels. I had to use toilet paper to dry my hands & face.
This place should be embarrassed to be in business
At first, this place looks like a simple hole-in-the-wall, but don’t let that fool you. The ramen here is next level huge bowls with tons of noodles and toppings. Service was friendly, though they check you out right at the table with a handheld device, which is a little weird but not a dealbreaker totally worth it for the food!
Food was good, but it took a super long time. The poke bowl was a bit small but tasted great.
ive been a shady park advocate since before 2020. as someone with celiac this was my favorite place to get delicious ramen without harming myself, enjoy outdoor seating or maybe catch a show. coming now in 2025, everything has changed for the worse. while service remains one of the best things about shady, there are limited gluten free options with no more ramen—while still offering gluten free noodles just to not have any broth, protein, or vegetables to eat it with since they bathe everything in soy sauce. i was given overcooked, on the tail end of expiring edamame. im sad this place is no longer a place i can come to.
Cool vibe sushi place

Whoever cooks in the kitchen, they need a culinary classes first. They technically don’t know how to taste their food before serving to your guests. They never taste or somehow judge if it’s enough salt or too watery in it. Omg, very inexperienced cook. You guys stop hiring kids. You need a culinary cook that went to school.

Went to Shady Park for some ramen, and let me tell you, I’ve never felt more attacked by a bowl of noodles in my life. The ramen wasn’t just salty—it was a full-blown assault on my taste buds.

Ramen was extremely salty, so much that it was literally inedible. When we told the server he said that it was normal, and that some people are just sensitive to salt. Would not come back for the ramen.
Spicy shoyu bowl was great! The shishito peppers (appetizer) weren’t bad, but probably wouldn’t order again. Staff was really nice.
Really great ramen
