I had the sukiyaki and the portion of meat for the price seemed sparse. The ramen was ok. The chicken karage comes drenched in sauce and would be better if the sauce was served on the side.
Order to plate time was quick The service was excellent.
Parking: Parking in front of the place can be sparse but the parking lot overall is sufficient.
Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is ADA compliant and so are the tables.

Honestly, not sure why this place has so many high marks, it's a total ripoff.
Potstickers? Obviously the frozen kind from the international market. Pork buns? Again, you can tell they were frozen and had the texture of a used sponge. And something in my classic ramen must've had a preservative or chemical in it, because my whole mouth & tongue swelled up with 2 bites.
Nearly $15 for the amount of "food" they give you with the ramen is laughable. Looked like a bunch of gen-z hipsters ran the place and everyone just glares at you when you walk in. Unsavory people and terrible/overpriced food.
Will never return.

This place hates solo diners. Twice I came to eat alone, the first time I was given a table but severely rushed through every stage of the meal to try and clear it even though there weren't any people waiting for the table. The second time I was only offered a bar seat even though there were tables available and was told they were for reservations, then the staff proceeded to seat two people who just walked in at a 6 person table. The bar stools are uncomfortable and put you right in the way of all the steam coming from the cooking area. Staff is incredibly cold and impatient if you're dining alone and just wants you go GTFO. Unfortunate because the food is good.

Came with our 4 and 6 year old. We LOVED it!!! Had to order more ramen for the kids they ate it so fast. Everything we had was amazing and service was top notch.

Super tasty little ramen shop hidden in the Olathe Pointe shops. I got the rich garlic ramen, which was delicious. Super cool vide inside as well, I love the Godzilla eating ramen logo.
Only reason I limit my rating to 4 stars is due to the chashu/pork belly being a little tough, which is quite unusual for ramen shops. Either way, I would definitely eat here again!

You know the old saying about how you can't get something of high quality quickly and inexpensively? How you have to choose two? Forget what you've heard. Aoyama delivers amazing food almost alarmingly fast and for a very reasonable price. Great service and fun atmosphere, too. I'm already a regular.

I had been excited to try this restaurant for quite some time and expected it to be great from all the rave reviews. So having a rare day off with our kid, we decided to give it a go. Upon entering we were greeted apathetically and asked to sit wherever. After a couple of minutes the other worker approached our table and bruskly asked if we were ready or not. We quickly ordered an appetizer and a ramen each feeling awkward and a little uncomfortable from the interaction. The worker walked back to the front of house/bar area near the register, put our order in and immediately hopped back on their phone. As we waited for for food, we noted that the restaurant it self was very clean and had sort of a cool modern vibe to it, we really liked reading the sticky notes lining the restaurant from previous customers. However, the loud metal music playing throughout the restaurant, while a great choice for personal listening, created a dissonance that only added to the awkwardness. When our food was ready, the worker dropped it off and said "Here," and sauntered back to their phone. The food was hot, delicious and rich, the noodles were chewy, bouncy, and fresh, and we liked it overall. Not once while we ate were we graced with the presence of our two hosts, except to drop off the check. TL;DR Food is banging, customer service is crap, atmosphere is awkward.

I'm not really spice tolerant, they had options for me as well as family who do like spice. Got the veggie ramen, the broth was so good and the veggies were done perfectly! New favorite comfort food. Family really enjoyed theirs as well!

Ramen is great! The service was eh. My waiter kept forgetting the standard things for me and kept coming back with one thing at a time. Sat down, forgot to give me a menu, gave me a menu and no water. Gave me water forgot to take my order. Took my order no refill on water. Brought my food, didn’t give me chopsticks or a fork. Brought chopsticks still no refill. The poor service was never ending. The ramen was delicious! Pork was tender and the broth was exactly what I needed to aid my allergies.
