Love this place. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Reservations recommended. Loved the ramen I tried (duck) and my friend's fried chicken ramen was delicious also. The spicy wings appetizer was very good and very spicy. Would have liked some kind of dipping sauce. My friend also tried the Lost in Thailand cocktail which was delicious and slightly spicy.

Disappointing meal. Mediocre Asian food, an assemblage of ingredients without great taste. We ordered 3 different ramen dishes, all mediocre and lacking in flavor and with fewer ingredients than other ramens we've had elsewhere, one poke bowl which was not great and 3 appetizers, each more mediocre than the last. The reviews and PPH rating did not conform to the food we had last night.

Been coming here weekly for the last year. Great food and drinks. Micah is a wonderful server as well. Only complaint is our fav dish is the poke bowl and the recipe changed recently which we were not fans of. Bring it back please ?.

We really liked our experience here. The drinks were absolutely top notch. The appetizers were really good and we felt split on our entrees. My wife got the sweet and sour shrimp and it was 5/5. I had the fried chicken ramen and it was 3/5 at best. My biggest complaint was that the chicken lacked seasoning- literally zero salt. The ramen broth was 4/5. We would go back.

I recently had the misfortune of dining at this so-called Asian restaurant, and let me tell you, it was an absolute disaster! The attempt at fusion cuisine with poke bowls and fried chicken ramen was a flavor catastrophe. It's like they threw random ingredients together and hoped for the best. The poke bowl was an insult to my taste buds - the fish was tasteless, the rice was overcooked, and the veggies were limp and sad. As if that wasn't bad enough, the fried chicken ramen was an abomination. The noodles were mushy, the broth tasted like dishwater, and the fried chicken was more like rubbery disappointment. The ambiance was equally dreadful, with an awkward mishmash of decorations that made me question if the owner had ever set foot in a real Asian restaurant. Save yourself the agony and skip this culinary nightmare. I'd give it zero stars if I could!

Wow! This place is stunning. The atmosphere is very peaceful, and the food is innovative and delicious. I ordered the sichuan numbing wings and they were super fun, especially with a nigori sake. I ended up getting the veggie ramen with a side of sambal and it was absolutely delicious. Will be thinking about this meal for a long time!

Best restaurant in Portland, hands down. Always consistently good, never had anything here that wasn't fantastic. Hidden gem!

Great service in a small, intimate atmosphere. Ramen is extremely flavorful and with multiple delightful options. Cocktail menu is diverse and we really enjoyed what we chose. Service was very personable and took our experience to another level.
