I will admit I pretty much have only come here for the boba and have yet to try their food. But the boba is AMAZING. Their quality is very consistently good, both the drinks and the boba pearls themselves, which are always just sweet enough and chewy enough. Would recommend!!

I have never had curry ramen before and I had it here and it changed my life. The broth was so rich and delicious and it was filling in the best way! The shrimp was also yummy. The service was great and all the workers are very friendly. The space is quite big and will seat a lot of people.

Edit: came back a few days later and tried the lychee tea boba and it was to die for! It is a big size and the drink is quite sweet in case you are not someone who enjoys too much sweetness. If you’re going on a hot day I would highly recommend getting a fruit tea boba from here, it was very refreshing.

Me and my girlfriend both had the katsu curry. The curry itself was flavorful, I enjoyed the touch of coconut milk they used in it. The size of the katsu was generous and was not overly breaded/thinly sliced like I've had at other places. Could have used more potatoes/veggies in the curry but other than that great plate!

I used to love this place but this morning I got violently ill and found that other people had the same experience please stay away.

A good serve of noodle, rice, appetizer and milk tea, with scan-to-order.

I absolutely - love - their Japanese eel curry. It is a counter serve place, and the ambiance is typical for that. The reason for me to go there again and again is the great curry.

The music taste has my ears in 87 countries during my time here. And in most of those countries I was jumped and robbed. Aka music no bueno. Don’t let that distract from the fact that the food was no muy bueno. The food tastes like a bad high. Some of the menu items are good tho. But that will be up to interpretation because each soul that walks through the door has a different food item linked to the fabric of their existence. The fabric may rip and that’s what happened to me. The post it note wall is arguably the best thing about this restaurant. Very cool to see the artwork of others. It says something about the restaurant when the best thing about it was made by someone else. Take this review with a grain of salt, I’m high while writing this. All I had was mediocre food with no real value and that sparked me to lay all these words on my screen.

By far the best Japanese curry I’ve ever tasted. There are other menu items but I always get the tonkatsu curry. Big portion for a decent price.

Had the Shoyu Ramen, it is FANTASTIC. I ate everything including the soup, not a single ingredient inside feels out of place (IMHO) and for $17 it's really worth the price.

Went there with a few friends and ordered the tonkotsu ramen and a side of japanese fried chicken. The ramen was average but still tasty. AVOID THE CHICKEN. Gave me and my friend food poisoning and it was a miserable night. I ate nothing else after or before so the chicken was at fault. Just don't order chicken at this shop.

Came here absolutely famished. The ramen was good but the place skimps a bit when it comes to some of their ingredients like the meat. The food took forever to come out and the service was just okay.
