Exceptionally good food for such a quiet, unassuming place! We cant wait to come back and try absolutely everything on the menu… so far not one dish has missed the mark!

This was our first time in. The atmosphere was nice and the service was great. Really enjoyed the ramen and the gyoza. I would definitely go back.

My current favorite Japanese spot in Cary. Decent vegetarian & vegan options. Not-oily or low-oil options.

I almost wanted to give it a 1 star to scare people away. This place may be my new favorite in the triangle. Super authentic and super cool atmosphere. Everything was excellent from food to drinks. Super small so expect a wait and small kitchen so it takes a while. Worth the wait!

Best Japanese food I’ve had in a long time, staff was very sweet too! The Berry Nebula mocktail is something I think about on a daily basis, it was so delicious.

I came to try this restaurant from an Instagram post. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was very friendly. The food just wasn't for me. I did take out and I just couldn't eat that food. I hate wasting food because I know some people are starving and I'm always thankful for my meals, but I thought I might get sick. I ordered several items, but only took a picture of the eel because it looked so good. I spent about $60 and threw everything away and went to Koi Ramen down the street. I don't want to bash the restaurant, but the prices felt high and the food just wasn't for me.
I had the pleasure to eat here with my husband. Our waitress was wonderful and we actually have met her from Noodle Blvd. I wish I got her name! She is always so friendly, I got the carbonara udon which never had anything like it before, really good. Best Gyoza I have ever had. My husband got the bento box with chicken he loved it. Nice atmosphere and the tea for two was really nice to share on a rainy day.

Great service and friendly staff. We had a group of 13. We made reservations for a birthday party. They had everything set up. Each of us enjoyed our meals.

Such a delight to have an amazing food Mecca near by. We thoroughly enjoyed Shinmai Shokudo’s dishes. We ordered the carbonara udon, spinach Goma-we, and Iikado to share. Highly recommend the Ochazuke if you like a simple clean dinner set that gives you a taste of a bit of everything about Japanese cuisine. Bento is a good set with a clean crisp vinaigrette dressing. We look forward to trying the Tonkatsu and Curry Don next time. Come early as there are no reservations!

Best tonkatsu ramen I’ve had so far. Far better than Hokkaido and miso ramen bar.

I ordered the “japanese croquetas” (i forgot what theyre actually called,) the teriyaki chicken bento box, and the matcha ice cream. All of it was so good. I also got the peach oolong tea which was very good. My server was saleea and she was also the only one as well as the hostess. Couldnt have asked for better service. She greets you when she hears the door and is very kind and patient. She let me bring in my luggage and i had 4 big bags with me. The restaurant has great food made pretty quick and they play Japanese music for real. Id come here daily if i lived around here 10/10 thank you!!
