I’ve been meaning to go here for a long time and finally did today with my boyfriend. I wish i started coming sooner! This place is a hidden gem. The inside is so cute and cozy and the service was amazing. Everything was quite inexpensive and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Will be coming back again! :)

I will start by saying that the staff and customer service are AMAZING. The first time we came here they were very attentive. The second time was a carry out, and while we waited they brought us water without even asking. They are very kind!

For the food. The sushi is really great! The flavor and presentation were there! This second time around we came for the sushi.
The ramen, however, was not the best. The broth was not that flavorful for me (shoyu) and the noodles were a little soggy. I am a big ramen person though. I did not eat my take home. My wife got the Seafood Miso and liked it, but it wasn't great reheated.

Update for Round 3:
The ramen I got this time was the Spicy Tonkotsu and it was the same as before. The texture of the noodles is kind of soggy and the broth of the ramen lacked flavor. The pork chashu was also not my favorite.
The soft shell crab was good, the sushi, as always, was amazing, and the potato croquette (appetizer) was good. Their wings are also very good. I would still recommend coming here, but not for the ramen.

Overall I would recommend coming here. I will try another ramen next time and update as needed. Great little place to come for sushi though!

This is hidden gem! I had the tonkutsu ramen and it was very flavorful. The staff was so inviting and kind. I will definitely be back to try the sushi!

This place absolutely deserves all the 5-star ratings it’s been getting! Judging from the exterior, you might think this place is a little dive-y. It’s NOT. Inside was actually really nice and practically spotless!

I got some ramen and boba, and they were delicious. My fiancé got the smoked salmon dup-bap, and I will definitely be getting that next time!

Finally, the folks who run this place are FANTASTIC. Top notch in customer service! So sweet and considerate and friendly. Really went out of their way to give us and our crazy toddler a wonderful experience. Put them in charge of everything—the world would be a better place. ?

Vegetarian options: A few options, pretty easy to figure out which ones they were

Dietary restrictions: Our family is pescatarian, and I have a dairy allergy. None of that was a problem.

Kid-friendliness: They were so sweet and interactive with our toddler!

Sushi is really good. Ramen is....ok. The best part is the chashu pork. Otherwise the broth is under seasoned, the noodles are a bit soft, and perhaps the most egregious...the egg is overcooked and not marinated. The ramen egg is one of the best parts of ramen, and it not being cooked the standard way is disappointing.

I did like the mushroom strips, or whatever the chewy strips were.

Otherwise, all the sushi and milk teas we've gotten have been really good.

Cafe Brown is a hidden gem that is an absolute must-try for anyone seeking delicious, fresh, and authentic flavors. Every item we sampled from the menu was fantastic, and their boba drinks are hands down the best I've ever had. With a clean environment and exceptional service, I can't wait to return to explore more!!!

Amazing ramen, so far we have tried the Tonkatsu, Miso, and Shoyu and they’re all so good! The bubble tea is high quality as well the boba has great texture. Everyone there is super friendly and welcoming. 100/10!

Wow! So good. Delicious veggie/tofu shoyu ramen and the service is exceptional.

Vegetarian options: Shoyu veggie/tofu ramen filled with mushrooms and breaded/fried tofu on the side. Tofu had a great texture and was drizzled with a tasty sauce.
