I got the vegan ramen bowl and it was so good! Great portion size, tasty broth, fresh veggies, and perfectly cooked noodles. I also got the chrysanthemum iced tea which was very nice.
The service was fantastic, super friendly and bubbly. It was a great atmosphere! If I lived closer I would come back frequently.

My husband and I have ordered here a couple of times and every time the food has been very good. I enjoy the ramen but love the rice bowls better. A little pricey but it’s worth it.

Braised pork: extremely dry and flavorless. Paid $1 extra for it expecting it to be superior but it...
