The best ramen! Order the Lychee Martini ? I also recommend you try their fried oysters, so good! Staff were super friendly. Great service and plenty of parking 10/10.

Honestly, I had high expectations for the price. Unfortunately they didn't meet them. The miso ramen was mediocre at best. It tastes like the premade ramen you can get from whole foods. skewers were pretty bland. Atmosphere was pretty alright. I was disappointed about the food....But the scallops were good!!!

Place with so much wasted potential. They try to keep up the appearance of an authentic yakitori place but without the skills to match their ambitions. Interior is reasonably modern, they have a very classic Japanese playlist (think Tamaki Koji), and they even use proper charcoal to grill the chicken. However, what’s missing is the quality of ingredients and the chef’s skill. The chicken skin I ordered was discolored and flabby likely because it came from a grocery store that’s been sitting out for a few days. The gyu-tan was way overcooked and extremely salty. The ankimo was clearly cut from pre-packaged tubes with garnish that did not add anything.Quite sad as I wanted this to be good given the dearth of options in the Boston area. You would not regret skipping, not missing out on much.

Food is decent, the beef tongue does not have a tender texture. The restaurant seems very under-staffed, causing a lot of hurry and little attention needed for customers. The ambience is quite nice, with a convenient location in Arsenal Yards.

Was waiting for my ramen for 40 mins just to find out the waitress was just too lazy to bring it

Food is very good quality especially for Boston. I recommend chicken thighs, pork belly, chicken meatball skewers. Service is efficient. Have been multiple times

the food was slow. ordered shiny ramen, no shoju in the ramen... it was shio ramen... my mother ordered ramen as well and got karage as an add on. we were gifted an unwelcoming surprise of soggy karage on the ramen. The ramen didn't have the greatest flavor, tasted like noodle from a factory packed into a broth for ten seconds before serving. the service was slow and didn't seem to care as much. The atmosphere of the place was great, all besides the American music that didn't fit the theme of Japanese cuisine.

This place is great! Highly recommend the curry ramen; my fiancé is allergic to fish and has had zero issue eating here.The staff are some of the friendliest people. Food comes out fresh hot and fast. Easy to eat family style with the skewers and appetizers, but also easy to eat separately with the ramen or rices. Place also has a great comforting vibe. And the flavored house-made sodas are delicious!

I passed by this place so many time and thought to give their Yakitori a try. Well, I should've listened to my guts to stay away...Had a very expensive experience. Service was mediocre. Can't even get a refill on the tea. Yakitoris were extremely overpriced relative to the portion served and were over charred and burned. We paid almost $9 for a bite of lamb. Not worth the money. Not coming back. Paid over $100 for 2 people for lunch including tips.
