At this ramen spot, the flavors were bold,Broth rich and noodles perfectly rolled.But they committed the greatest sin,Hard-boiled eggs, not soft — much to my chagrin.Here's hoping next time they'll let soft eggs in!??

Love this place. I have had the Laksa and the green curry tofu and they are fabuloso! Food comes out quick and piping hot just like I love it. The portions are large so I always get another meal out of it. Pretty reasonable for 2 meals if you only get the water but I will have to try their lemonade one day. The ambiance is cool with a wonderfully diverse crowd. I'll probably try the ramen and rice dishes next times I go. Can't wait!
Vegetarian options: The tofu green curry was rock solid - They could have made the tofu just slightly more crispy but that is getting too picky. :D

Great food and great service. The curry sauce that comes with the fries is really good, and the hanger steak is fire. The peppers onions and mushrooms it’s served with are really good, and the mint chutney is a fantastic addition. Everything came out quickly, and they also packed up our leftovers for us which was awesome.

We walked in a very basic looking place , but I needed up loving our choice. Surprisingly very good food. Decent size portions! Seaweed salad, wings, fries, pork bao. Loved it all! Thank you so much!

What a fun hidden gem! I came here with a friend with no reservation and no line on a Thursday night.Good:- Loved the laksa noodle soup here - so much flavor and the coconut flavor was very pronounced and good.- The fries here were great and I loved the dipping sauce- Good place for a catchup - it was nice and quiet inside and good clean vibes that felt homey- Staff were so kind and willing to help!- Good value!Bad:- Took a bit for entrees to come out!Overall this was a great find, and tucked into a nice corner of the mission. I will be back!

Had a great dinner here. I had the laksa, which was fantastic, but I wish I got it with ramen noodles. I have a high spice tolerance, so this place was perfect for me, but definitely order with care if that's not you!

Let me start by saying that my wife and I were both super excited to go here because of the great reviews and the amount of dishes.We went there for a Saturday night dinner and started off with the Vietnamese coffee for her and Nigori Sake for me. She loved the coffee however it was not made with typical Vietnamese ingredients. It seemed like chicory coffee instead of Vietnamese ground coffee.We also ordered the Korean Wings, Garlic Fries with curry mayo, Pork Bao, and Tonkatsu Ramen. The Korean Wings were cooked really well and were pretty sticky but the taste was incredibly sweet. The Garlic fries with curry mayo were the best part of the meal but again there wasn’t anything that stood out except perhaps that the curry powder used was the Japanese brand.The Tonkatsu Ramen ( one of the main reasons I went there) was super bland. The broth barely had any flavor. I kept having to add Sriracha to get some flavor. There was no umami, definitely no Tonkatsu. It had pork belly, which would’ve been fine if it was actually good. It was not! I am an avid lover of Ramen. This was not good ramen. The noodles were somehow undercooked and barely edible.The Pork Bao tasted like balsamic vinegar and sherry with too much sweetener. It had none of the notes of authentic pork bao. You can find authentic pork bao on Clement st. To be honest, the pork was over cooked and incredibly fatty.The highlight was that the service was incredible. They were very attentive without being in your face. The service was a 5/5 but food was 2/5.It’s a good place to hangout after a few drinks but not meant for foodies, especially individuals looking for an authentic meal.
