First time trying this place. The staff was friendly and quick with the food. The gyoza were delicious but the ramen itself was not flavorful at all. It genuinely felt like a fast food ramen spot that you would find at a mall. First time I actually didnt even finish my ramen. Also the prices were a little extreme compared to other places. I don't think I would go back.

I love this place, one of my favorite restaurants. The poke bowls are incredibly good value and so delicious. There’s so many options for the toppings and the bowls are big! I like their takoyaki as well. The interior is pretty small but it’s a great spot nonetheless.

Really good! We ate here on the night of Christmas when most places were closed. First, thanks for being open! I had the salmon teriyaki bowl. A bit too much teriyaki sauce but damn it hit the spot. Salmon was cooked well My wife had the spicy tonkotsu ramen. Chashu pork was super good, noodles were perfect, broth was rich with the perfect heat level. Quick, tasty. Would come back!
