The service was excellent. Our server was very patient. We went to celebrate our daughter’s 10th birthday and she and the kids took a minute to choose their boba teas. He did not rush us and was very kind. Our orders came out quickly and everything was correct. The ramen and gyozu were delicious.

Ramen was delicious! The soy eggs had a nice addition of, I think, 5-spice powder, which worked really well. I also had a japanese matcha IPA that was pretty interesting.

The Tonkatsu ramen bowl was average but still a good meal. Added some chili oil to give it a nice kick. Service was quick and friendly. Two critiques: 1- add napkins to the tables vs. giving just one when the food comes out and 2- give customers the option to have real ramen style noodles. The Tonkatsu bowl came with straight, skinny noodles. They were good, but I would rather have had ramen noodles in the ramen bowl.

This is definitely a ramen spot to visit! The food was delicious and the service was also good. Had a very personable server. Started with the Gyoza. It was good, the portion is small, but good. Also had the Ika Gesso, which were very tasty. But then there were Chasu Buns, which were incredible. The buns were so fluffy and soft, could have eaten 20 of them and the pork belly just melts in your mouth. I got for my main meal the Tonkotsu Ramen bowl. It was absolutely incredible. Added Naruto to it, which in all honesty isn’t necessary, there’s already plenty of other flavors to the bowl. I also added their home made chili sauce, which has a slight kick to it. Lastly I had a strawberry milk drink with boba, which was good also.

i come here every so often because the shoyu ramen is heavenly, especially when they get the tenderness of the braised beef perfect, which is almost everytime. I always get an extra egg in my ramen along with extra braised beef. the staff is friendly aswell.

Service and food is amazing. I tried a few ramen dishes. Only thing I didn’t like is you can remove items for free but couldn’t swap out items for free. You can add anything for the price in the menu. Great place for lunch. They do have underground parking which is nice since street parking is an issue.

Broth is lukewarm, has given me stomach issues twice
My family wanted to try it out for the first time. Good atmosphere, great location, nice staff, but we were a bit disappointed that ramens were not good. It's not flavorful and tastes plain.
Ramen broth was comforting. Very soothing experience. Saigon lover drink can be improved more.

Definitely one of the better Ramen places around the triangle. For those of you not from California the way you can tell good Ramen is how opaque the broth is. In Los Angeles many Ramen places pride themselves on how long they boil the pork fat in the broth, sometimes up to a week for the most high end Ramen places. This one comes pretty close. The broth is quite good.

Everything was fantastic! The food, the drinks, the service, top notch 100%. I also love the anime figures when you walk in and the TV plays Anime (it was playing Naruto Shippuden when I was there (~ ̄³ ̄)~). I recommend coming here if you love anime and food lol

Second time ordering (ordered to go) from here and was even more excited when learning they had boba also! I had the shoyu ramen with a added egg and nori sheet, taro boba; my boyfriend had the iso iso ramen with an additional added egg and coffee boba. Excellent ??

Got sat quickly, food came out fast and was 10/10.
only complaint was the service. all three times i’ve been here it has been SO SLOW! i was left drink less while trying to enjoy my meal. waited a while to get our check and then waited longer to be able to pay. Food is great but service will run off your business if it stays this slow! oh, and they weren’t even busy, maybe 5 tables in there!

My husband and I consider ourselves pretty big ramen fans, this place is definitely one of the best places we've been to since moving to nc 3 years ago, top 3 I'd say. Food was delicious, restaurant was clean and in a great location. Our server Jason(I think that was his name) was a doll, he was so welcoming and sweet. They weren't busy today because it was a Tuesday afternoon but I could see this place being busy on a weekend. We ordered the pork belly buns, karrage and 2 bowls of tonkotsu ramen. Everything was absolutely delicious. Not a crumb left. I also ordered a wintermelon milk tea with boba, the boba was fresh and so chewy. Server even hooked me up with a little extra boba. Will definitely be back for a date night to try a cocktail. Highly recommend!
