We were there around dinner time and it was very crowded. The noodles were very good, but I was a little disappointed in the garlic chicken soup.

Their noodle are very good but the chicken wing is too sweet and salty, no flavor of chicken. Two stars comparing others the with similar price.

The food was to die for!!! We walked in and got a table 20 mins later. Kind of uncomfortable seating but so worth it for the food. Best thing i ate on my trip and can’t wait to go back

Everything was great, the pork steamed buns were so flavorful I could’ve eaten 10 of them.
The ramen had a deep flavor and cocktails were well made. My only observation is the hostess that was a little frazzled I guess. I told her I had a reservation and she said I don’t see it and put us at the bar with 2 menus but it was 3 of us, then after we sat down she decided she will check “again” and yes she found my reservation for a table. Other than that everything was great, our server Juni was very efficient and friendly. Definitely coming back for more pork buns and ramen!

had an 8:45 reservation for my bday- the host didn’t wish me a happy birthday and was sort of cold, off-putting. my group of 3 was told it would be a 5-10 min wait but we weren’t seated for 45 min (so the time estimate was a blatant lie - and other guests left for this very reason while we were there in line)
we were offered free drinks while we waited, opted for margaritas, and then we were told we could only get some small lychee drink?
once we were seated the service was friendly - our guy was nice and apologetic. we got a free appetizer. unfortunately the ramen - which was supposed to be the star of the show - was disappointing. the broth had no depth and was sort of salty. the spinach was raw as hell. it was just average at best… my friend’s ramen didn’t have ANY scallion/green onion. the egg in mine felt sort of raw - i get it was poached but this was something else
can’t recommend this place. the city of full of gems and this is not one of them! also worth mentioning this was the 2nd time we tried coming here, couldn’t get in the first time a while ago without a reservation but tonight showed that even having one for your bday means nothing

Had reservations for a birthday at 8:45 pm, we were told it would be a 5-10 min wait and then got sat at 9:30 pm :/
The hostess was giving major attitude! They offered us a free drink while waiting and then adjusted that offer to a frozen cocktail. When we were finally seated they gave us a free starter which was nice. Food was fine but my soup came without green onions :( Also why was everything raw? The egg wasn’t properly cooked! Not really worth the wait.

Service was good. The ambience is geared towards younger crowd. We got the pork belly bun, half chicken, smoked pork ramen and chocolate pie. The bun and chocolate are good. The ramen was salty. Overall it was okay.

the pork belly baos were the best bites of the night.
i don’t think we’d get the bavette steak again. it wasn’t the most tender steak and just not our fav we’ve had at this price point. the potato butter felt like it was trying to pick up the slack.
the ramen was tasty! we got the pork ramen and the pork belly was so fatty and tender. the noodles were nice and bouncy, i just wish the broth was slightly less salty. don’t get me wrong- i love salt (i am actually a salt addict) but this was just too salty for me. it could be that it was just too much with the other dishes we ordered.
good efficiency and friendly service even with the noise level in the restaurant. food came quickly.

A bit loud, cramped, and busy but overall it's a really good vibe. Food is okay, ramen is good and so is the steak. They have a fun cocktail selection as well.

Where do I even begin… Unfortunately, the dishes were all quite mediocre and overly oily. The food tasted bland, as if it had been cooked bland and then drenched in mass-produced sauce. Service was also very slow, and given the small dining space, the entire space felt packed—not because the food was drawing crowds, but because of how inefficiently the restaurant was being run. Overall, the dining experience was not pleasant.
Each of our dishes arrived at least 10 minutes apart. My entrée and my boyfriend’s were served a full 20 minutes apart: the ramen—which should be relatively quick—took an additional 20 minutes to come out. The extra egg we ordered was forgotten entirely, and when we reminded them, it arrived quickly but with a hair on it.

It’s… a lil overrated - because he is very famous indeed! For the price it’s okay I guess 🫠🫠
