I tried the edamame and gyoza, and I also had the curry ramen bowl. Everything was so delicious and the service was excellent. The prices were very reasonable as well. I highly recommend this place.

Ramen that you can eat year round. Hands down the most delicious broth and ramen bowl I've had on the east coast, this includes 5/6 places I've tried in NYC. The tonkatsu is rich, creamy and not salty like other places. The charsu is thick and well seasoned, rather than the sandwich slice most restaurants give you.They have a great curry broth that is unique to their shop. The curry has been a favorite of my family since they opened. Service is fast and friendly. Atmostphere is fun and friendly. Happy they open for lunch on weekends. This lands at #1 for my top 5 restaurants in Jacksonville.Vegetarian options: Tofu was a great add-on to ramenParking: always free and openKid-friendliness: fun design with Anime characters painted on the wallsWheelchair accessibility: ramp leading up to sidewalk in plaza
Nostalgia for Japan! Great food and Japanese atmosphere! Good for a near-authentic experience!

Small, quaint little spot that’s food is spectacular. Awesome flavor, massive portions, it was delicious. Highly recommend, but hope you don’t take my advice so it doesn’t become crowded. Had the tonkatsu, edamame, and the gyoza. All phenomenal.

So glad to find a great local curry place! You brought the taste of Japan to me. So thankful! The food was delicious, and the staff was friendly. I had the rice curry bowl with chicken, thick mild sauce, broccoli, cheese and potatoes. Definitely going back, looking forward to trying the ramen.
Wow. This place is the epitome of too cool for school. Awesome booths for comfort and date night. The curry broth (thin) was deep and flavorful, pork belly and brisket perfectly cooked, scallions and pickles added a great contrast to the poached egg. It was indeed the best kind of umami experience!

Delicious food at a fair price, the waitstaff was fast, but the drinks are a little pricy at $3 for a canned soda.All in all, can't complain, and will definitely be coming back.

Leaving this review before I even leave the restaurant. I promise you won’t regret stopping in for a meal! The shopping center looks abandoned but don’t be turned away - it’s perfect in here. Super friendly staff and DELICIOUS food wait for you. I had the hamburg curry rice and my husband had the umami curry rice. Gyoza to start. All absolutely killer. Honestly takes me right back to our honeymoon in Japan. Do not skip this one!
