This is a relatively new restaurant and just in time. Ramen is hot now in the food business. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. It was delicious and served quickly. There is a good selection of ramen plus sushi. It was hard to pick.

Unique, Thoughtful, & Creative

The attention to detail and the kind/caring servers make this restaurant a step above the rest. The owner takes pride their dishes and treats all customers like close friends or family. This place feels like a second home, I don't only come here for the great food, which will melt your heart, but also for the comfortable atmosphere. The food portions are accurate to the cuisine type and while they look small they are very filling, so don't be fooled! Prices are excellent, even a bit underrated for the quality that's served. The chicken wings are my favorite but don't skip out on the rest either, the hand rolls are so fresh and delicious as well!

Kid-friendliness: Kids are so welcome there! I saw one come in with their family to have ramen for their birthday dinner and the owner even gave them a little Japanese treat as a dessert. A very friendly and safe atmosphere!

Easily my favorite Ramen restaurant I've visited. The flavors, textures, and aromas were exquisitely combined to make phenomenal dishes. The fried nori was exemplary.

The Yakitori had a wonderful charred taste in the way only food toasted over crackling wood fire can taste. There is no true imitation for this savory palette delight.

The presentation and service was wonderfully prompt, polite, and timely.

If anything on the menu looks as good as it sounds, it almost certainly is. And you should go get it as soon as you can.

I got the shrimp and veggie tempura donburi. It’s lightly battered and paired with tempura sauce and served with white rice. Simple and great. The ambience was very creative and interesting. I’m from Orlando visiting and I will definitely come back here every time I come to Sarasota!

Really worth the trip from Tampa because this place exceeded our expectation. We came in as a party of 5 and our server was very enthusiastic and attentive.

The menu had a variety of dishes and we got to try a lot from rice bowl, ramen, to skewers, hand rolls and sashimis. We highly recommend okonomiyaki, unagi (eel) rice bowl, toro hand roll, yuzu cheesecake, and Kyoto IPA beers. The skewers were tasty but imo were a little pricey because the portion was small compared to the price. Don't forget to ask your server their special desserts. We got the blueberry lemon cake and it was so good.

Lastly, I hope the restaurant can play Japanese music so it can match with the vibe and decoration. The price is pretty reasonable for a restaurant in downtown. My advice is to bring companies so that you can try different dishes without breaking your wallet.

Overall we were very satisfied when dining here. Honestly this place should be better known. Looking forward to coming back another time!
