Food was excellent! And I love the low contact ordering. The menu has plenty of variety and flavor.

The service was great. You go to counter and order and they bring it to you. The food is incredibly bland. The ramen had no flavor and the curry Katsu didn’t come with much curry sauce, mostly a drizzle.

Not much to say being that we didn’t even eat here. My friend and I were out celebrating my birthday downtown for some fun shopping and decided to do lunch. We came across 201 on a whim not knowing anything about it. It was a cold drizzly day and Ramen sounded perfect. My friend and I walked in excited. Didn’t look busy since the place was nearly empty. We were then greeted very briefly by a woman who looked frustrated. She just handed us their thick menus and told us to sit anywhere and walked away. Not the most welcoming hostess, but we did what she said. My friend and I picked our table and sat for at least 15-20 maybe even 30 minutes expecting service (trying really hard not to exaggerate here, but it was a long time.) but nothing happened. We got lost in conversation and finally realized that we didn’t even get offered a drink order. People that came in after us managed to get what they wanted before us and we started to get confused. I look around the room and finally made eye contact with the hostess and she just yells at us from across the room, “YOU HAVE TO ORDER AT THE COUNTER!” Like my friend and I had did something wrong or offended her. And in front of the people in the restaurant. The level of communication was very poor from the start. The vibe was not welcoming or inviting. So, we just got up and left to go eat somewhere else. Such a shame.

Expensive pork belly was 100% fat, no meat. No exaggeration.

Worst sushi and poke bowl among the thousands I have had in my life. Exceptionally bad. Bad tuna, bad composition. Sometimes you get food made by people who don't love food, and sometimes by people who don't like people. This felt like both. Just awful.

Vibrant atmosphere inside the restaurant and fast service!
I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box. The chicken was okay. The salad that came with it tasted great though. Food was presented beautifully.

Would not recommend this place to anyone. Food was poor quality, yet it’s more expensive than most other places around. Tip is also charged before we eat which we did not like.

• food looked ok.
• spider roll was served with a bug in it
• spider roll was messily put together such that it would completely fall out upon touching it. the pieces also weren't properly separated, which caused even more of a mess.
• blue moon roll was really bland
• service was slow, but they were nice
• cute place

I don't like to write negative reviews but this place was pretty bad. The service was terrible. The restaurant and bathrooms were dirty. The food was disappointing. I wish we would have gone somewhere else.

Great food and generous portions. Open for Lunch and Dinner. Closed during mid afternoon. Check times to make sure you don't miss out on this great little restaurant.

Surprisingly delicious and unusual. I ordered the lunch special on the owner's recommendation as I did not recognize the items. Took a chance and was rewarded with a tantalizing meal, especially the spicy tuna wrap
