Great place! Food was delicious, staff was very kind to suggest kids order from a la carte menu (saved us $ and got the kids to try a new place). Fast too!
Overall solid food but I think the prices should reflect that better. It isn’t outstanding Japanese food but an example is a half egg order is like a dollar or so, like I think it should be more reasonable. I’ve had good experiences with staff until recently. The waitress assumed I wanted two orders of the same thing even though I politely corrected her before they came out. She seemed upset when I told her to send the extra plate back. I would come here again because I do like the apps and curry ramen but it’s definitely a treat and not a swing by after work kinda thing.

I’ve been here twice so far and each time the food is amazing, the servers are courteous, helpful and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you to my servers Kambria and James for always making it a pleasant experience!
Down in Sarasota for two months out of the year for the past several years and discovered this gem last year while trying out different Ramen places and it did not disappoint. This is the best I have found in Sarasota. Couldn't wait to come back to Sarasota and eat here again. Tried the black garlic and Shoyu so far this and they were excellent. Waitress with the colored hair (forgot her name) was very friendly and always has a smile did a great job. Can't wait to go back this week. Try the chili oil.

Delicious ramen spot in Sarasota! Appetizers are tasty and satisfying, but the real treat is the ramen. I like the gyu, tonkatsu and spicy miso ramen, but all my friends love the black garlic! The taiyaki dessert is delicious too. The decor is adorable too, lots of memorable anime figures and iconic decorations. Clearly this place is a labor of love, I hope you guys are always successful you deserve it!!

Ramen is good but I would love to see more vegetarian and vegan options. Only one ramen and no veggie buns is honestly frustrating since the food is good. Please add more veggie options!
Tried this for the first time, absolutely loved it! I've never been to a ramen restaurant and this was an amazing first experience. The employees were very kind and attentive to the customers, the vibe of the shop was very calm and interesting, where every wall caught your eye with something to look at. Such a great experience and great food! I got the Nabeyaki ramen which was delicious and loaded with lots of interesting new foods I've never tried. I will be going back!

YUM. Great ramen place. I went for tonkotsu ramen and was not disappointed. Hearty flavorful broth, delicious two slices of pork chashu, and all the garnishes you'd expect from a ramen. Absolutely delicious. Apparently this is also a boba tea place, we were full after our dinner and didn't really have it in us to try the boba but next time for sure!

We ordered Yokoso Ramen over DoorDash and felt the food was so-so for the price. We both got the Black Garlic ramen. My partner's ramen only came with one piece of pork chashu, while mine had two. I was disappointed that there was only half an egg in my ramen, too. It was heavy on the noodles and not as much on the other ingredients. For nearly $20 a bowl, I'd hope there are at least two pieces of meat and a full egg! It was tasty, but expensive. BLACK GARLIC - $18.00 Black garlic base with pork bone broth, pork chashu, straight noodles, egg, bamboo shoot, nori, green onions, and kikurage mushroom My star rating: 5 - must go!!! 4 - liked it, give it a try! 3 - it was alright 2 - I probably won't go back 1 - turnaround and run

Omg best ramen I've had in a long time. I love speciality places like this. Everything was so tasty and high quality. Can't wait to go back. Only thing I wouldn't get again is the Choco Banana Boba as the banana taste was a little weird/fake. Everything else - Gyu Ramen, Ebi Ramen, Rock Shrimp and the iced tea was extremely good. If you're considering this place I'm telling you right now just go! Come hungry.
