Good ramen, cute place. Wasn't blown away by the ramen but the takoyaki was fantastic.

Aji has never served me a bad meal. If you want to try this place and havent, dont sleep on it. These are the BEST noodles in Cleveland and you cant change my mind

Best decision we made tonight. Ordered the spicy ramen and the gyoza dumplings. The staff and owner are so friendly. Visit this lil spot! You won't be sad if you do.

Excellent food and services. The environment is nice. Get a bowl of hot noodles in this cold Ohio weather, that is soothing. The owner lady is so friendly and nice. Definitely I will be back.

The best ramen place in town. The owner is very nice and friendly. The food is light and healthy, fits modern Life style. After work, it's cozy to get a bowl of warm noodles. Excellent

Perfect dinner for a Northeast Ohio cold winter. The noodles we got were delicious, however a little pricey for Lakewood. (~$13/bowl). Will definitely come back here.

The staff is fantastic and very friendly, the drink are unique and seasonal cocktails are fantastic. But I cannot not stress just how good the food is at this restaurant. The restaurant it's self servers decently large portion, which marked one of the few times I regret ordering more than one appetizer. If you like ramen and good drinks this is the place!

Great food, beautiful bar/restaurant. Bartenders/servers were friendly and funny.

The ramen came out cold and tepid. The broth lacked any depth and the meat was some dry shredded pork. This was $13.75 to boot. With a gyoza appetizer that you could buy at a generic supermarket, the total came out to $25 after tip. The wait staff were great, but the actual food and jarring prices make this place a complete miss.

A lovely addition to the Lakewood restaurant scene! I came with my family and high hopes. They have a lot of great drink offerings. I enjoyed a coconut porter from Avery Brewing Company and my wife had a delightful kolsch. For starters we tried their fried gyoza, which was solid. For our main dish we all chose noodles. My daughter and I are both lovers of udon noodles and we were not disappointed. I had the tempura udon and she had the yaki udon. Both were fantastic! My broth was flavorful and the tempura shrimp were tasty and the chicken and veggies in the yaki were great. My wife ordered their spicy miso ramen with pork belly. She really enjoyed the broth and I snuck a taste and was impressed by the balance of spice and other flavors. Very good! The portions were ample, the atmosphere was great and it was not busy for a Wednesday evening. We will be visiting this place again soon. Great restaurant!
I am absolutely amazed at how beautiful this place transformed after the Yuzu take over. The food is avg priced approx 12-13$ per bowl but very generous portions and incredibly delicious options for both veg and meat selections. My option was the miso porkbelly ramen and its just delicious!They have yet to roll out their cocktail list being just newly opened, but i am test driving one beautifully balanced and smooth Blueberry Blossom cocktail using Effen cucumber vodka and a light blueberry puree. A beautiful delicious ramen bar here in lakewood!

I stopped by for an early Saturday lunch (parking lot next door). When you walk in there is the long bar area with 5 TVs which is great. They have additional bar seating that is a long table top with just enough room for your noodle bowl. On the other side is the sitting area and the rest of the restaurant. The staff was great and allowed me to really change up my ramen bowl allowing me to add gyoza dumplings instead of the pork belly. My partner ordered the udon noodle bowl with shrimp tempura. The owner/bartender provided great service and on Saturday they have a 20% off drinks if you order with a meal during certain times. The bar was fully stocked along with an assortment of beer choices. They have specials everyday which are posted. Overall great time and I would definitely return.

My husband and I went there when they had just opened up and it was great. I haven't seen many places that offer cold ramen, and it was amazing. Our server was really nice and let us know up front what they couldn't make because they didn't have the stock for them yet and offered alternatives. She was really friendly. Everything tasted amazing and wasn't really greasy or heavy. The atmosphere was awesome; it was modern and bright.

Super friendly service, attentive and awesome laid back atmosphere. Squeaky clean. Vegetarian options and miso was literally amazing. And this is almost the only place have ever dined where the music was enjoyable, all of it. We are going to make this our Wednesday place.

Again 3,5 stars but not 4 yet, ramen was very good but needs a couple improvements- we only got literally got 2 pieces of pork belly and the broth could have more flavor... we also tried Takoyaki it was a very interesting and tasty dish and a unique consistency almost jelly like inside. I could not find the octopus there though... We are definitely coming back though that is a decent ramen noodle place - the y are new so I'm sure will improve over time!
