Went to this place first time today with my wife and it was really good! My wife got the pork katsu with curry and I got the got katsu ramen. Both were excellent! I really enjoyed my ramen. The broth was clean and really well made. I usually take pictures but the we were hungry and dived right in. I'll be sure to take pictures the next time I visit.

Spicy Salmon was fishy. Waitress was nice but there was a language barrier. I asked her to remove the Spicy salmon roll from the bill after having only had one piece. She nodded like she understood but clearly didn’t as it was still in the final bill. When I brought it up again she said that I didn’t tell her until after she’d handed me the bill which wasn’t true. I should’ve known not to eat here when we were the only people in the restaurant. Lesson learned so you don’t have to.

I went for lunch with my sisters to eat ramen, the service was great! (the owner took care of us) and for the second time we went in she gifted us an appetizer. She was funny and outgoing and the ramen was one of the best ramen I ever had.

No customer was in there when we walked in on Friday during lunch hours. Nothing was wrong until my Chicken ramen arrived. I asked for medium spicy but it came plain. That's not the issue, the issue is they provide homemade Chinese chili sauce, which is not matching with Japanese Ramen soup. Hopefully they will have normal Japanese chili sauce when next time we visit.

Pretty interior, excellent service, delicious curry, and Doraemon keeps watch while you eat! We really look forward to returning and trying more menu items!

Food was bland but service is good. Ate the rice with fried chicken, and three different ramen - all pretty bland. Sushi doesn’t look or taste all that great for the price.

Grand opening! We got some good to go and overall the food was decent. We didn’t get to try the experience at the resturaunt but it seemed really clean and like it would be a good experience!Our sashimi and chirashi bowl was ok. It did have a slight smell of fish but the taste wasn’t fishy.It could just be because it was near closing time.Service was nice and prompt! May come back and Try dine in. Prices were on the higher side in my opinion for the good quality.

I went around 6pm it was great eats. We started off with fried softshell crab and fried chicken app. Fried crab easily a banger. The fried chicken needed some sort of sauce but they helped me with Sriracha. Both full of flavor would order again. I throughly enjoyed the orange chicken. Little kick and a great crisp all round. My girl got the baby lobster roll. It was a little saucy but she loved every bite of it. The miso soup and rice was amazing. We even ordered food Togo that's how good it was. We finished up our meal with mochi icecream. It's good. I highly recommend it. I would come here again. It's a good date night experience. I also had the Fiji apple sake it's great. I would get the large instead of a small tho.

I really love Japanese food, and I was looking forward to eating at this restaurant, I checked many times before they were open, to see when I would be able able to eat there.I finally had the chance to try eating here, and needless to say I was incredibly disappointed.I ordered the "Chicken Cutlet Curry" and my brother, who came with me, ordered the "Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice."The Chicken Curry was extremely "ok" the curry sauce was very one note and lacked really any flavor except for curry seasoning, and the cutlet was reminiscent of Tyson chicken nuggets, Rubbery and almost chewy.My brother had an even worse experience, when he asked what was in the teriyaki chicken fried rice he was responded with "teriyaki chicken and fried rice." A very unhelpful response. When the food was presented to the table the fired rice had more than just teriyaki chicken and fired rice. Despite all of the ingredients not stated that were added to the dish, there was little to no flavor other than "spicy." It was wholly impossible to taste the chicken, the rice, the teriyaki sauce, all of it was just covered by "medium spicy."When my brother brought up the lack of teriyaki flavor, the server responded with "we only put katsu sauce in and no sauce in the fired rice."The teriyaki chicken fried rice, with no teriyaki.The portions were very small compared to other restaurants in the area, with very little quality to compensate.TL;DR: Food was bad, expensive, and not alot of it. Server was not well trained. Decorations werent bad though, so theres that.

Ate here earlier this week. I had the fried dumplings and the Chinese BBQ Pork Ramen. Both were delicious; the ramen had excellent broth. My server was also so lovely and the atmosphere was cozy.
