Was a little confusing at first when walking in, they had a menu you can look at as soon as you walk in and the confusing part is there is a kiosk for order strictly to charge either credit or debit cards if you want to pay cash you have to wait for someone to attend the register. You can choose from different types of Ramen or udon noodles or a platter with rice or a bowl of rice with whatever toppings. It's on the pricey side but the food is pretty good in flavor. Restaurant is kept clean and even has a dine in patio.

We were in the area and craving some good asian food and saw this place pop up on yelp! Google maps took us to the far end of the parking lot and we had to keep driving to the other end to see the back of the restaurant which was kind of weird so be mindful of that.We came on a saturday afternoon and there were only two other small parties eating so it was nice it wasn't packed. Super simple setup - you order at the touch screen and pay too. Then you just grab a table and wait for your name or number to be called. Everything else is self serve so drinks, condiments, take out boxes, etc.It's nice for those who may struggle with social interaction but the short interaction with the staff was very friendly.I got the tonkotsu ramen and we shared the chicken katsu and gyoza. The ramen has thin noodles which i was surprised by, but they were tasty and the meat was well cooked. Broth didn't have a super rich flavor like most tonkotsu ramens I get, but it was still good and I ate the majority of it.Gyoza was yummy and the sauce was great to dip in. The fried chickenkatsu was great and well cooked. Just a few pieces really filled me up and the sauce was delicious as well.Overall, a nice place that if we ever come visit the area we will come back to try more items since the menu is so large.
Came here with my family after a long day at Disney. It was cold so we wanted something warm and comforting. Most of us got the ramen which they offer various soup bases, they also have udon, curry and bento boxes for entrees. You can also order appetizers/sides like tempura, gyoza, beef, etc. You order via a big tablet at the front and it spits out a reciept with a number. They will call you at the counter when your food is ready for pick up. Very self-serve with open tables for seating and a sauce/condiment bar. Overall, the ramen was good. I tried a side of their mini curry bowl. Curry had good flavor, wish it came with spice but you can always add whatever they have at the condiment bar. The white rice was meh but I tried the chicken katsu which my brother had, breading was light and crispy! Pricing is slightly high but worth it because food was good! Would definitely come back to try their udon or when I am craving some ramen.

The curry was missing a spice that Japanese curries usually have. The meat portion was very small compared to the price albeit well cooked. Would not really recommend this place as the portion/cost to taste ratio was subpar. It didn't taste bad, but it didn't taste good either. Just good enough to eat.

I got pork ribs ramen. It was ok, but my friend got the chasu ramen, and they look amazing. The ramen price was on the high end, and there were no table services, so I don't think they're expecting tips. However, I tipped anyways for the cleanliness and food representation.

Laid back place with plenty of seating! Kiosk order and a rack for utensils when you're finished. They offer curry, ramen, and udon; with the curry being the best! The udon and ramen were good too, just wish the portion was a bit bigger. The wait wasn't long and they play fun jazz in the back, great ambiance for even a solo date or to get some work done.

This spot is hidden in plain sight and I'm surprised they're not busier than they are -- quite in fact, it's rarely busy which I find a bit disconcerting because the food here is really good!When it comes to Japanese noodles this place screams comfort foods. For noodles they have ramen, udon, and soba, plus they also have curry katsu plates, bento (plate lunch), donburi (rice bowls), and numerous sides/appetizers. Ordering is easy -- it's all digital self-service organized with pictures of each item, but if you have any questions the staff behind the counter is friendly and helpful. When you order a drink it's usually in one the mini-fridges, which is self-service on an honor system (quite Japanese). Tons of snacks near the front counter to choose from too -- I always have to exercise self-control otherwise I'll end up looking like I went grocery shopping for snacks.The pricing is actually really good; for the quality of food you're getting it's a great deal! It makes it easy to order a variety of things or make multiple trips to try other menu items... which I have. Over-ordering is always nice because you can always take the rest home and have it for dinner.Seating is plentiful inside and everything is very clean. When you're done with your meal you can bus your own dishes by leaving all your plates on the tray, then placing it on the racks near the bathroom. If it's full you can let staff know and they'll take your dishes and clear out the rack quite quickly (they're usually good at keeping the rack clear but sometimes other patrons don't stack their trays neatly enough causing the rack to prematurely fill up).I love this place -- it's definitely a hidden gem in plain sight.The soba is good/average, but the udon and ramen are delicious no matter which one you pick.Bring friends cause this is one of those places it's very easy to hang out for a bit and enjoy your food with great conversations!

The ramen was delicious. The service was phenomenal as it was quick. The background funeral service music really stimulated my hunger.
