The food is so-so. It's Grand Forks good enough, I guess. I've never ever had to pay extra to have my noodles spicy. Medium is one price, and hot is another price. Especially for $18 a bowl. You can get ramen, a salad, and an appetizer for $14 at other places...and it is WAY better.We had our daughter order her own food. She said it right, and even pointed to the menu. The rest of our food came out except hers. When it did come out, it was wrong. The lady argued with us. We know what we ordered. We know what she eats. Instead of owning the fact they brought the wrong noodles...she exhibited a very poor attitude and argued with us. She's lucky I didn't have the family exit the restaurant immediately after experiencing my daughter nearly cry thinking she did something wrong. It was definitely my prevailing thought.18% gratuity automatically added in. Then, the receipt they have you sign asks for a tip...even though the price already has the 18% in it. My wife caught that as I was about to leave a tip because you did provide some service. It wasn't good service, but it was service. If only you could leave a negative tip...

Food is absolutely amazing, but DO NOT EVER dine in here and please ONLY ORDER TAKEOUT!!! Lady is incredibly rude and has the worst service I've ever experienced. Even with takeout orders, she will call your number and barrade you on when you are coming in. Please don't reward her behavior. Please only do takeout!

Friendly people with good food! Appreciated the respect our waiter had for our group.Kid-friendliness: A large family came needing a high chair-the waiter helped them right away.Parking: Might have to walk a block.Dietary restrictions: Neede food without wheat-some family have to be careful-Shing Ya had a good menu.

* FOLLOWED out of the store AND DEMANDED I LEAVE A TIP*Our meal was good, no complaint there. Issue was with the server. Everything was extremely awkward. I didn't order miso soup yet it was brought to our table and of course I paid for it. I requested chopsticks and soysauce and was laughed at.The woman ended up chasing after us when we walked out after paying because I didn't check a box to tip. I've never in my adult life not tipped until today. Then was chased after to tip. This is not okay. Steer clear. This was ridiculous. Her demeanor was sharp, rude, and abrupt. I didn't tip.She followed me as I walked to my car to demand I check a box on the ticket for a tip. As someone in the service industry, my mind is blown.

Visited here on a Friday. Not too crowded. We got a seaweed salad, beef ramen, and tofu soup. Tasted great! Good service too. However, the price is too expensive. The seaweed salad itself is 7.5$... most expensive one I've ever had.

I usually dont give reviews but I had to with this place. Last weekend a small group of 3 of us went here and as we walked in the hostess/waitress rolled her eyes at us as if she didnt want to help us and want our business. We sat at our table and two others came in and she refused their service because apparently she couldn’t handle the number of customers being waited on which was only 5 other people at the time. Anyways I’ve never experienced such awful customer service and we were fed up with how she was treating the other customers and we just walked out without ordering. Never going here again.

They went off our radar during Covid but were happy to see they were still in business (says something there) so we stopped in Saturday night after a movie. GLAD WE DID! They weren't too busy and our waiter was very friendly. Ordered Sushi and 2 entrees - took a little while but got the impression there were only 2 people working so it was okay - we weren't in a rush. The Sushi came first and was very good but our two Fried Soba entrees were fantastic! My wife likes extra spicy and I like medium but both dishes were spiced perfectly and very tasty. They even made her fried tofu although it wasn't on the menu so that's cool. Very nice people - great food experience - If you haven't tried give them a shot! We'll be back for sure!!
Great food. Worth the money, best restaurant in Grand Forks. Big portions and largest sushi rolls in town. There’s one waitress in particular who is absolutely fantastic. My husband and I go on Thursdays so that she’s working! Pretty, poised, and very attentive. We had a good laugh watching her sit down and then leap up again every minute to get our food!. The female owner serves most other days and is endearing but very brisk and neurotic. The Thursday waitress balances her out well and my family feels very comfortable and Shing Ya.The other waiter i’ve encountered is also friendly and great! Amazing place and pricey but definitely the bang for your buck for the happy and delicious experience. Best in Grand Forks!

The food was fine. The service was horrible. The absolute rudest lady I have ever experienced. I have never been felt to be such an inconvenience for someone in my life. We ordered an appetizer to start. She didn’t like that we wanted to start with an appetizer and she refused to put it in until we were ready to order everything. When we told her we need another minute to order, she huffed at us. When she came back we asked a couple basic questions “is this one spicy?” She responded “it says heart attack” … lol okay. When we asked for another minute she said she got harsh and said she had other customers! If I wasn’t here with a coworker I would have walked out. When I asked to keep the menu after I ordered she literally told me no. I said I would like to keep it and she said the table was too small for me to keep it. Literally every request was a fight. God forbid we were to ask for both chopsticks and silverware. Horrible. Horrible service. I will never be back

Quite pricey and not as good as I expected. I’ve had different ramen at different places, but this ramen caused me a lot of stomach pain. The server was very nice, I just wish the hype was worth it.

Overpriced and terrible service. It's up to you where you spend your money but I will no longer spend it at this place, waitress is rude and always seems angry. Never a friendly welcoming my last 3 visits.
