The worst possible experience, I do not recommend it, the waiters were very unfriendly, it wasn't even full and they literally kicked me out while I was still drinking and waiting for my dessert, horrible.

They only have one vegan / veg option but that ramen was good, you can ask for chili oil to make it spicy. They should include more veg options

subpar service , food is good but not worth $25. Ramen used to stand for affordable meals but $25 a bowl after tips , tax , ramen looses the ‘ramen diet’ charm

I'm usually not a huge fan of the pork ramen, but this place does it well!
There are also non-pork options and the service is fast and efficient. There are not too many tables so the wait can be long.
Portions are small.

Great taste food. But disappointed the female server who spoke in Japanese behind the customer. All she did was complain and blame. She said ‘that was what you ordered stupid’. I know it because I know Japanese. Never do it behind the customer.

Absolutely delicious ramen… just wish they had a chicken option!

Decent ramen and subpar service. There is an initial rush to take your order before you open the menu, not putting in items your table orders and unfortunate ramen spills at the table.

I recently visited Hokkaido Ramen Santouka and tried their Vegetable Ramen with chilli paste and Veggie Roll. Both dishes were delicious.

One of the famous Japanese ramen chain restaurants that I used to eat at when I was young. The sweet tonkotsu ramen had the same taste as in Tokyo, and was delicious and nostalgic. The Japanese-style greeting is also useful, such as saying "Welcome!" in a cheerful manner. I will go again.

Vegetarian options: I don't think it can be called a vegetarian menu because the soup base is pork bones.

Dietary restrictions: You can choose the size of the noodles.

Your new waitlist app isn’t effective. It doesn’t tell you wait times, doesn’t update you when you’re getting closer to your turn. When you walk in, there’s zero estimate on how long the wait is. Love this place, hate “minitable”.

Service was fantastic. The Karaage chicken curry was not so good. First, I make a better Japanese curry at home - I don’t know how you can mess this up. And Karaage is just so good - they somehow messed that up too. On the other hand the Shio Ramen was delicious and so was the Takoyaki. The Takoyaki was on the better side compared to other places. The noodles from the Ramen don’t compare to other local places but the broth was on point. The wait was very long. The place is too small for the number of people going here.

Ramen soup is very rich in fat and thus very heavy for your body (pancreas). Kara soup is poor in taste, just spices in plain water. Service and atmosphere is okay but food is not recommended and over priced, unless you are into these.

I came in with my daughter a while back to try this ramen place as I have heard good things. The service was good as our waitress was friendly and attentive (forgot her name but she was Asian and had ribbons in her hair). Not even 10 minutes into our lunch, I find a worm in our edamame. Grossed out, I told our waitress who informed the boss and told us that he would come out to assist me. After waiting 15 minutes, my daughter and I lost our appetite and the boss never came to speak to us. I felt bad as the waitress apologized for something that was not her fault and I asked for her to check us out. The boss ended up not charging us but the fact he never came out and made us wait was inconsiderate given the fact there was a health concern. My 5 year old who was excited and hungry became sick shortly after. Will not be coming back and this place needs to be inspected.

The food was decent. We ordered Tsukemen, Bento box, and salmon rice.
Tsukemen tastes great, but we would love it more if they have the option to replace the noodles with Kale noodles.

Bento box was just okay. The Vegas roll in the Bento box was a bit fried that we are not a huge fun of.

The salmon rice looks better in the menu picture with more Ikura on top of it. The taste is also just average.

Overall, since it is a ramen restaurant, we recommend ordering ramen. As for the other small dishes, you may find better options somewhere else.
