Rustic bar with an old touch. I tried the grilled chicken ramen mildy spiced and loved every bite! The presentation was remarkable and the waitress as charming as her beautiful eyes. The purple rain cocktail was delicious! All in all marvelous! Definitely recommend for casual night out with friends.

This place can get busy, the waiter seated us promptly and was cortious. The ramen was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. They offer three different types of spice levels. The soju is delicious, however there other drinks are very strong.The place in its self is on the smaller side and is extremely loud with people having fun. The customer service was great.

Place has great Ramen, (4.5 ⭐️ for ramen) but when they have live music, the volume is so out of control that it makes for a really bad dining experience. I suggest calling before you go to make sure the live music hasn’t started. Of course if you don’t mind not being able to have a conversation during diner, then maybe it would be good for you.

Bao buns were incredible. Duck was the best I'd had in 20 years! Ramen was good but beware. Do not order ramen if you don't like spicy! Even the mild got my sons nose running! We all really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and staff!

Went here for dinner with a friend. We shared the Tuna Tartare, Duck Baos, Spicy Cumcumbers and Tonkatsu Ramen.
All of the food missed the mark, feeling uninspired and unauthentic. The tartare was non-traditional (served in a bowl), and cucumbers were served as large chunks in a watery sauce. The noodles were prepared poorly, with a consistency worse than instant noodles at home.
The atmosphere was too loud both inside and out. We would've been fine indoors, but the music was too loud, so ended up sitting outside.
Service was undesirable, with our server being both unattentative and forgetful.
I rarely encounter a restaurant I won't return to, but unfortunately this was one of them.

My husband and I found this place online and are extremely pleased with it. Now it’s our regular Ramen spot. Great experience, great service and amazing food. What makes it even better is that the prices are very reasonable. There is also a great Sake and Japanese whisky selection.

Very nice place. Upscale drink menu. Lite cuisine, and a relatively small menu. A handful of Japanese/Korean dishes. Ramen is the main course. The food menu is small, and a little pricey for the area, but they do offer something different and it is very high quality. The pork bellies in the ramen are excellent.

This is the second time in about 3 weeks I’ve gone and they were only serving ramen, no appetizers. Not sure what’s going on but it’s disappointing. Also the ramen today was extremely lacking in flavor. I hope these issues are addressed.
