We ordered the Katsu Kare with pork tenderloin, the Winter Ramen with sliced beef, Lollipop Chicken and a couple sushi rolls. Everything was fantastic!! They packed the curry sauce and ramen broth separately, so the food maintained its textures. I think the Winter Ramen is my favorite ramen of all time, the Pork Katsu Kare was cooked perfectly, not dry at all, and the curry sauce is delicious!! And I can probably eat 4 orders of the Lollipop Chicken all on it's own, with a mug of that dipping sauce. I'll be back!!!

The best Japanese BBQ! We had the pork shoulder and beef hanger tenders. The char was perfect and it was marinated perfectly. It was sweet and juicy and super tender! The dynamite rolls were also a big favorite of ours! Bursting with flavor and just the right amount of spicy. We also got the Tekkadon Donburi, and the tuna sashimi was super fresh! This resto is a gem, and on a Friday night, we didn't need reservations we just walked in. Pretty affordable too for the quality of food. We will be back! ❤

Love this place. Second time here and it’s great. We had the spicy roasted garlic pork ramen and the chicken teriyaki and both were perfect. The spicy ramen was perfectly spiced and the chicken teriyaki was a perfect size. Both meals filled us up nicely and the servers were very friendly. The ambiance is very relaxing and inviting. Love the layout of this place. Highly recommend.

Was here shortly after they opened. So attentive. And the food was so so so good. I can't even describe it but it was packed with flavor. Definitely will be here again. Also the Lychee martini is DELICIOUS.

The food here was 4 to 4.5 stars but the service here was subpar. We tried the two most highly recommended dishes - the winter ramen and the spicy garlic pork ramen. Both had savory broth, but the meat in the two dishes was not tender at all. Not sure if we will ever come back up this location but we may give the other one a try.

Affordable common with equal amount of exciting new dishes in a fine dining prep that exudes balance and clean taste. My Eat-List from Udon & Ramen, and Chef's Specialies would make me a regular for 6-months. Great service from the charming, Ton. WINTER RAMEN is truly a mild to medium spice that I was able to enjoy the soup, al denti ramen that was still good after brown bag. Nice rib eye was surprisingly a bit hard. I look forward to more eats!

The place is super nice, I could give 4 stars but the BAD thing that happened to me when I first visited: the food came cold!! Of course they replaced it and was delicious...
