Hi, not a Ramen restaurant. Maybe the pho is fine, but I’ll never know, because I was looking for the restaurant listed, not just what whatever was there….

Wanted to like the food but it just wasn’t good. I would’ve enjoyed a bowl of instant ramen more.

The food here was disgusting. Nothing on the menu looked appealing, and when the food arrived, it made the description. Please don't go there it's a waste of money. The waiter was nice but outside of that this place has nothing.

Just don’t. Trust me. Unfiltered tap water, terribly flavored food, unclean and unkept inside. Nothing to redeem it except a polite waitress. I could elaborate but try at your own risk.

We tried this place because I really liked their versatile menu. We tried the squash ramen, the spicy miso ramen, and the shishito peppers. Everything had great flavor. I was really happy with the squash broth. I don’t know if it was fully vegetarian (we are not vegetarian) but it was very tasty and a nice alternative to the frequently sodium bombs of other ramen places and the kimchi is a great pop of sour spicy flavor. The spicy miso ramen had only a little heat to my palette but also tasty. Noodles are bouncy. The shishitos peppers had a lovely onion and soy sauce dressing. I am excited to go back and try the curry and Tom Yum options!

Crazy slow. They need to warn people when they're backed up and stop taking orders at some point. We ordered ramen and waited for well over an hour. Very little food came out of the kitchen in that time.

We ordered via door dash and were very disappointed. This does not feel anything like ramen. Egg was hard boiled, broth didn't taste like ramen are supposed to taste. Fried chicken looked very unappetizing, didn't even try.

Thankful we don’t always have to go to San Jose for good and diverse food!! I ordered this today, 7/8/24 and everything is delicious!!!! Not only that the service was amazing even for takeout. I ordered the Tom Yum Shrimp with extra ramen and sea salt edamame! Ordered online, it was hot and fresh :) very cool and great energy to see the owners and employees all working together. Great takeout spot!

Waste of time, the cooks can only work on 2 dishes at a time or 8 per hour. Can't say much for the food either.

My husband and I were excited to try ramen in the area. To say we were disappointed was an understatement. There was no flavor or seasoning to our Ko Ramen. We tried to add our own seasoning to each of the orders, but that really didn't help much. Nothing has flavor. His fried oysters were small, flavorless and looked nothing like the pictures and was 5 small pieces. The wings were ok, but nothing I would come back for.Overall a waste of $65 and we're still hungry. Try a different ramen spot, this is not it.

Not sure if anyone that's left a review has actually had any decent ramen before. Unfortunately, this place is well below the bar. Only redeeming factor was the cha shu, which they call "special pork". Definitely not Japanese recipes used here.
