Pretty good for mall food. Katsu was delish.

To start off the appetizers were amazing. I went when I was really hungry so I couldn't wait to eat so I got served panko shrimp right away. Enough to at my appetite but not too much to fill me up. I always loved watching my favorite anime character eat Ramen in Naruto and this brought me back to my childhood. The freshly made ramen was super good! Gonna come back here again next time I'm around. It does get packed pretty fast so if your comfortable sitting at a bar they even have hangers to put all your shopping bags off the floor.

They could make food specially for food allergy concerns. Service quite slow during peak occupancy.

The servers were very nice, the pan fried ramen was good, but the ramen soup was disgusting, it tasted like old fish and nothing else. I wasn’t able to eat it. I do not consider myself a picky eater.

Food was cool, but the service was terrible. When I first walked in, I heard the R&B and Hip Hop playing and felt at home, but that feeling disappeared as soon as I sat down. I wasn’t greeted, acknowledged, nothing. The server had an attitude from the jump and wasn’t friendly at all.
This was my first time eating ramen, so I had questions about modifying my order. Instead of helping, she got irritated and told me she wouldn’t make any changes because she didn’t want me to say the food was nasty. The only reason I stayed was because I was hungry and didn’t have time to look for something else.
When I asked about an item on the menu, she literally said “it’s right there” instead of just answering my question. I don’t even write reviews, but this experience might’ve unlocked a new hobby.
It’s crazy to walk into a place that celebrates my culture through music and art, but can’t respect the actual people whose culture they’re inspired by. I’m sure other Black folks feel this too. They love our culture, but can’t stand us. Wild.

Really great service, and it’s always easy to get a table for dinner. I love the shoyu ramen — the broth is flavorful without being too heavy. Having grown up in Hawaii and spent summers in Japan with my family, I really appreciate having more ramen options like this. So many places in the Bay Area serve ramen that’s rich and heavy (tonkotsu), so this is such a refreshing alternative. The service is always friendly, the menu has lots of fun choices, and I’ll definitely be back!

I had chicken katsu. Came super fresh with perfect panko. I don’t understand why the average rating is so bad here. Yes, I didn’t try ramens here. But anyway one dish is perfect here

I had an amazing experience here! The ramen is absolutely delicious, the pork broth is incredibly rich and flavorful, and the soft-boiled eggs are cooked to perfection with that perfect creamy center. Their spicy chili oil takes it to another level, adding just the right amount of heat and depth without overpowering the broth. Every bite was comforting and satisfying. Definitely coming back!

This place is perfect for anyone who hates eating food that has any flavor.
Also it’s great for kids below 7 and elders above 87 (no disrespect).
The chef and cooks should be proud of their accomplishments of putting out utter bland reasonably priced food.

Honestly was not a bad place, the service was very good, however, they severely lack in the taste department. The broth in the Chicken Paitan was subpar and not white at all, as it should be. Overall, I think that the restaurant is alright.

Food was edible, takoyaki was good but the miso ramen was quite liquid, as if they diluted it with water. Probably the poorest ramen I had in the bay in the past recent years. Hopefully they fix that aspect of their busjness

Service and atmosphere were great! But food lacked severely. We ordered the Vegetarian Miso Ramen and one of their Special ramens, which unfortunately came out super bland. We tried to add taste with soy sauce and the chili oil, but nothing really got it to taste good for us. We hope the best for the restaurant, the owner and the workers are great, but definitely need to make some improvements with the ramen.
