Vegetarians - The vegetarian apps were tasty. The Ramen can be made with vegetarian broth / stock (tell the server in advance!). The vegetarian noodles were pretty lackluster, dry and limited in flavor. The staff / owners are very friendly. The bubble tea was delicious. Overall a good stop in the area for a nice hang!

Shrimp Ramen and Tonkotsu were amazing! The atmosphere is nice and it's a very good looking establishment! Will come back!

Clean, new sit down restaurant with a bar. Loved the Boba Smoothie and the chicken ramen was good, but light on the chicken.

Really good and more affordable ramen place. Delicious boba drinks. Felt a little rushed, as other reviewers have said, but we also came in during dinner rush, and there was only one older gentleman running everything, so I can't blame them too much. Will visit again for more boba and to try their poke!

It’s a great place if you want ok ramen and rude service!!! That older man is so rude!! This place has gone way downhill! The food is not that good anymore. I have been going there for over a year whether it was delivery, takeout or dining in, once a week. The last straw was yesterday when this man was so blatantly rude. My mom had questions about the menu he barely answered her questions and rushed us to order. Luckily my mom liked her ramen but my ramen was way too salty. Way more salty than normal.

The old man who runs the front needs to be in the back. He is so rude. I asked for a cup to take my chili to go and he said they don’t have them when I know they do because I’ve ordered take out many times. I pushed back and said that I know you do have the little cups and sure enough, he brought me one! 🙄 I have brought a few people here but I don’t think I will be going back anymore.

Other times I can think of that he was rude was once when I ordered to go one time and I tried to use my punch card for boba and the 5or10% discount for takeout orders at the same time. Other employees have let me do that but he didn’t let me for some reason.

Another time I came in and ordered and was talking to another man that worked there that was super nice (and cute lol) and he was making small talk with me, asking if I was having a good day and the older man interrupted our conversation and told me to go sit down at a table to wait for my order. So rude.

I reallllly don’t think he likes people that aren’t Japanese or Asian. if you know what I mean. Based on alllll of the other bad reviews talking about this rude man. Maybe he needs customer training or something because obviously A LOT of people are turned off by eating there because they are treated so horribly. Maybe he owns the place so that’s why he’s able to get away with everything he does but he has a restaurant in America it’s obvious that all kinds of people live in America and eat at restaurants. He can’t just scare away all the customers and be surprised when people stop coming.

Clean and nice looking and fast

Great for the picky eater or those with food restrictions. They have an option to build a ramen bowl that allows me to get all the things I want (lots of seafood and no noodles) and my picky kid just broth and noodles.

Great food and drinks! Chicken Curry Ramen and Teriyaki Pork Donburi are amazing.
Also really like the Shrimp Shumai and pork buns.
