Ramen and Udon are filled with so much flavor! saw the nikugen akai udon recommended from a video, it's so worth it! Love creamy broths, and the spice is just enough where it doesn't take away from the flavors.Staff was super nice and on top of everything!

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. Is there a NEW OWNER, or new Manager? The menu has changed, and the PORTIONS ARE SMALLER!! Big mistake! I used to be a regular customer, but my last visit is the last.

We no longer live in Frisco but live about an hour away. We still come here at least once a month! Black garlic ramen is just right.... with a pint of draft Sapporo. My lunch / dinner is set.Hey, Mr/Ms owner/managers -- It seems the portion is getting slightly smaller -- why is that!!! My black garlic ramen! Don't make it any smaller please!

Food was okay. We ordered gyu katsu, black garlic ramen and akai spicy udon. Both ramen and udon base had strong flavors. The beef katsu is not deep fried/fully cooked so you have to grill it by yourself. It’s kind of fun but we are not so good at it. We also ran out of “heat” before we got all beef grilled. Overall it was a good experience.

My order took way too long. Was told my orginal order went to another table. Food was good and think this was an honest mistake. Still disappointed on this visit.

Ordered the spicy ramen, Nikugen Akai Udon with fried chicken, and spicy edamame. The spicy ramen was very good. It comes with pork, which was very tender. Personally, I think it was a bit overdone. The udon was also very good. The broth was thick and very tasty. The chicken was go good, I could have eaten just that and been satisfied. Both plates were spicy. Enough to make your nose run, but not so hot to ruin the meal. I've not eaten at many ramen or udon restaurants, but I will say these dishes have been my favorite so far. The edamama was good, too. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice atmosphere. The staff was friendly. Our waiter was very attentive as well. I'm definitely coming back.
First time here - we will be back. We usually go to Densetsu for Sushi or MahJong for Asian cuisine and gave this place a try for it's good reviews and variety. Sushi rolls were large and delicious, with excellent presentation. Ramen was as good as we have had anywhere. Potato app was excellent. Flavors and textures were top notch. Enjoyable, quaint atmosphere. Food and service were quick.

Not a great place for vegetarians. I had fried rice and veggie ramen and the taste was just okay. They didn’t even ask if i want egg or not and spice level. Tofu in the ramen didn’t tasted good. Also there were little to no veggies in it and quantity was also little. Service was good and fast. But not a vibrant place. Their bar space was converted to sushi making place.

I was actually amazed on how delicious the food was. Can't say that I wasn't impressed from the server who asked what we liked and what type of allergies to avoid to the food landing on our table so quickly after ordering. We had the Nikugen ramen, Nikugen Sushi roll, Nikugen Fries (we like to try house specialties when we first visit a place) and they were all great! Not a single miss on any of them. On top of that our server kept coming by to check on us which .Adrian this a great experience! Needless to say, I'll definitely go back and gladly order more food from here!

I would usually go here with my family and enjoy the food but this time seemed off. The breading of the gyu katsu came out yellow, not a golden brown color and the breading wasn’t fully covering the meat, it was sparse. One of the meats didn’t even have any breading on it. Once picking up the meat to cook it over the grill the breading was falling apart and wasn’t stuck to the meat to give it its crispiness. I was highly disappointed in this as this is one of my favorite dishes to order. The Nikugen akai udon was a lot spicier than it usually is but it was still okay to eat. The servers were attentive to our requests but it was difficult sometimes getting their attention as our table was on the side near the window. We ordered an extra side of udon to add to the leftover pasta sauce but we never received it. I’m not sure if this is an off day or they have a new kitchen staff but I really hope this place hasn’t gone downhill.
