Waitstaff is very lazy. Tables were dirty. Menus were sticky. Three couples were charged an extra $6 per slip for a tip because we sat together, we were not informed of this charge until it was noticed and we questioned the bill. 4 of 6 orders were wrong or missing items. The Waitstaff did not remove the cost of the items not delivered from the bill. I will never return to this business. Charged $89 for two bowls of soup and an appetizer that were wrong when delivered. Waitstaff heavily debated their error and would not produce the written selections we had made to show their error.

Now I am not normally the person to right a review but as a big ramen fan and someone who makes it weekly at home. I expect a certain standard. Like cooked noodles. My family visited this place today and got undercooked ramen and no seasoning, and if you are diabetic stay far far FAR away like in a galaxy far far away. The server got the drink orders then never brought them and had to ask another server and the server informed them that the drinks had been dropped then proceeded to bring the wrong one and my partner is diabetic and was given regular coke. Just a FYI if you are diabetic and given normal soda you can die. So maybe they will learn to cook the food or even get simple drink orders correct but as of right now I don't have hope and HIGHLY doubt recommend this place to anyone who likes cooked food and correct drink orders.

Got tonkotsu ramen to go and scallion pancakes. Scallion pancakes were good but were served with a sweet and sour sauce. Traditionally it’s usually served with a soy type sauce. Ramen was good. Pork belly was done perfectly. There were a lot of mushrooms in it but not a lot of other listed sides. The broth is served on the side which is great but the noodles clumped together and when you add the broth it still stays clumped together.

It's really good food. I could only finish half a bowl before I got full. Good price for how filling it is. Boba is good. It's a little dark on cloudy days but overall great place. Annoying to get parking though.

Review worthy for sure. I would not recommend, spend your money somewhere else. Food was one note, garabage service, atmosphere sucked, and missed ingredients on my build a bowl menu option. Will not be returning.

It is very rear when I walk away from a restaurant but this place. The server was the rudest person I have come across in long while. What a shame didn't even get to try the food.

We ordered 2 bowls of ramen and one order of the "chive dumplings" which were just thick scallion pancakes . The dumplings were the best part, the ramen was BAD. Pretty much zero flavor! I expected amazing ramen from a ramen bar. And they charge for everything, even a side of Sriracha. Ended up paying over $60 for 2 bad bowls of ramen and a pretty good appetizer. With many other great vegan options in the area, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. Updated from previous review on 2025-11-24
