I was really disappointed in this place. I love Korean and Japanese food, but this was totally out of standard, on the wrong side. I had to call out at least three times for someone to come take my order. Or at least to discuss how to order. There was no discernible Fried kimchi in the Tonkatsu Ramen bowl, for which I paid extra. I asked for no corn, but corn was prominent in the bowl. What if I had allergies? They just don’t seem to care. I requested a side order of kimchi, and I knew it was on the menu. But the service person let me know that it was unavailable. The soft boiled egg added for a charge of two dollars was so well cooked. It was blackened into almost the center of the yolk. What is a Korean restaurant without kimchi and a jammy egg for the Ramen? I did enjoy the shared kimchi fries, or maybe they were another kind of fries, but there was no kimchi in them. I might as well have just poured hot water into a supermarket Ramen bowl and eat it at home. It’s not a comfortable place – the chairs were too small for adults, The tables were the height. They should’ve been had the chairs been tall enough for adults. The child with us was at a real disadvantage in this area, because the chair was too short, and the table was much too high. What? I was really hopeful that this place would work out. Because it’s handy to where I live, but unfortunately, I won’t be stopping by again.

Dietary restrictions: They need to be more attentive to customer requests to not add an ingredient. Especially when it is specifically listed as optional on the menu choices and customer had declined it.

Kid-friendliness: the furniture is not appropriate – the tables are too tall.

Searching for ramen~ Coming here, it’s different than expected~Only when you go inside do you know what the name of the store means~(There are many kinds of instant noodles inside)Ordered spicy pork ramen~It tastes okay, and the noodles are quite chewy.But the minced pork has a bit of a pig flavor~There won’t be a whole piece of pork!Generally speaking, if you want to eat ramen at the last minute, you can come here!But it doesn’t look like an authentic Japanese ramen shop!If you are a Japanese person, this restaurant is not recommended!PS: If you like my comments, you can follow them~I will take photos of the appearance and color of the food I saw on site and present it to everyone. I will go to various places to discover delicious food and unique places! !I wish everyone’s wishes come true!

We enjoyed coming here but we moved far away. Service is fast. I just wish them portions were larger for the price.

We were initially thrilled about the variety of ramen options, but our excitement turned into disappointment when we realized that all ramen choices featured pork broth. Unfortunately, there were no pure vegetarian, vegan, or chicken alternatives. As a result, we opted for bento box selections, specifically the Chicken Karaage Curry and BBQ Chicken. Arriving around 9 pm on a weekday, we found that noodles were already unavailable, so we had to settle for rice only. Despite this, we enjoyed the well-presented and flavorful BBQ Chicken more than the Karaage Chicken, although the curry portion wasn't sufficient for all four chicken pieces. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, but we wished for more diverse options, especially in the ramen selection.
