The staff was amazing, everyone was very nice and accommodating. It was very aesthetically pleasing as well. The shrimp tempura was good and the potstickers were okay. The ramen however was not for me, but if you’re into thick, slightly chewy ramen noodles with subtle broth flavoring you should give it a try.

The prices are reasonable.
Good variety and vegetarian friendly options. Food tastes good, well-seasoned. Didn't care for the Japanese cheesecake but that was minor. Fun atmosphere. Fast service. Worth a try.

Would definitely their grilled foods. Chashu was a bit lacking, but it is still good.

When it’s good it’s great, but the quality is inconsistent. We’ve had food from here a few times. The first time I had their chicken curry it was excellent but the second, it was less curry more like slightly spicy chicken broth and missed much of the flavor that sold me on it in the first place.
Still a cool sit down spot for when it’s late. The interior vibe is aesthetically pleasing

Generally speaking, the food is quite good. We only wish that our appetizers had been served prior to the ramen. The Hamachi Kama was excellent! and I really enjoyed the pineapple smoothie.

The seating in the place is very limited and the tables are so close together. When we walked in we weren’t greeted or asked if we had a reservation. She literally just told us to sit where we wanted beside the “booth”. I wanted to tell her we had a reservation but she looked annoyed and unfriendly. We never have been to a place where you scan the table to order. Which is fine but asking about tipping is wild. Especially when nobody came to anybodies table to check to see how things were going. Also that lady that was there the night of December 7 late night needs to work on some people skills. She asked us 3 times if we were ready to leave. Which was so annoying even rolled her eyes after the 3rd time she asked us if we were ready and we literally had to tell her we are waiting on a beverage we ordered from the bar and she proceeds to roll her eyes. I could understand if it was almost closing time but it wasn’t. So we chugged our drink and left. But regardless from that incident the rest of the staff was actually nice and we still tipped. The food is very mid at best. Everything was warm and not hot. The crispy chicken wings had so much breading and the chicken was bland. Ebi yaki shrimp had way too much marinade or sauce on it and kinda felt mushy when eating it. The enoki mushrooms came out cold and no flavor. Not only that they were overcooked. We ordered 2 different types of ramen dishes both so disappointing. Absolutely lacked flavor and small in size for the price you pay. The chicken that put in the ramen looked like dark and white meat almost like they shredded a rotisserie chicken to put in the ramen. I could be wrong but that’s what it looked like to us. The broth was watery and had the after taste of ramen packet seasoning. The same goes for yuzi ramen but that one didn’t have any type of citrus flavor what so ever. The steak skewers would have been good, but whatever seasoning they put on top overpowered the whole dish. To the point where we actually took off a lot of the seasoning because that’s literally all you could taste. The Japanese cheesecake tasted like poundcake it wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t order it again. The best part of the food experience was the spring rolls they were crispy and nice size filling and the sauce that it came with was good too. The vegetable fried rice had really nice flavor, crunchy vegetables and wasn’t too greasy. Then the mochi(strawberry) was really fun to try it was good. We also had boozy lemonade and passionfruit Mojito those drinks were great would definitely come back for those drinks and the food we did enjoy. Just hope not to be rushed next time around.

I love this place is open late and I can swing by after attending a concert on the area for a hot bowl of ramen. The "smart" ordering system might be confusing for some but very convenient for others. I don't eat meat and they have vegetarian options.

One of my favorite go to late night spots after going to a concert. Chill atmosphere, nice staff, and yummy Japanese food. Not your typical ramen kind of joint but still delicious and satisfying.

It was pretty good overall, the food was great. I feel like the portion size was a little smaller than other spots we've tried but the flavor was good and I feel full. I had the tonkotsu ramen and my boyfriend and I shared the chicken karaage. The decor was cute, personally the table spacing is tight which I dont particularly like but I find that common in most ramen spots. There were also booths which I feel like you could get if you asked while making your reservation. The service was also pretty good, it seems somwhat like self service but theyre very friendly and did check up on us.
