Had such a lovely lunch today 🍜 Our server was incredibly nice, friendly, and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. The restaurant was clean with a really pleasant, peaceful ambiance — especially since it wasn’t too busy this Sunday. The food was rich and full of flavor! I ordered the Yakisoba along with the seafood and chicken ramen, and both were absolutely satisfying. The only small downside was that the restroom bin hadn’t been emptied, but overall it was still a very good dining experience. Definitely a relaxing and enjoyable Sunday lunch 💕

Great experience at this restaurant. The waiters were friendly and were polite to enlighten our experience. Get their Chicken Karaage and their Furikake fires since those were delicious and fulfilling. The spicy mala and Tonkotsu soups were great as well as the appetizer we got. The drinks were refreshing like usual, and we liked the decor they had for Halloween. Highly recommend this place!

Came in for happy hour and I can definitely say this is a great happy hour spot! There is a ton to order on the hh menu. I sample the spicy tuna roll, pork bao buns, chilli wontons and gyoza. Out of everything I’d say the chili wontons were my favorite. The hh lychee martini was great and for 9$ I think it’s a great deal. Overall I think the regular prices are a little high for what you get, but for happy hour it’s well worth it. I also really like the overall aesthetic of the restaurant.

All of the food is great! The duck ramen and oysters are the best though! The decor and vibes are phenomenal. The service is a bit choppy in their communication, but they are very friendly so just be patient! Overall, well worth it
