“Was super hungry I always pass by here but never went in so today was the day I started with edamame, and then the BEST dumplings I got them steamed with pork and scallions and got the Tonkotsu super good the pork chashu & seafood I recommend and I’m definitely coming back 🤤 and the dumplings were gyoza with shrimp and pork and I got another to go cause that’s how much I liked it.”

“We loved everything! The menus are like manga comic books. Our waiter was really courteous, full of information that helped us decide. And the FOOD! Absolutely delicious! Ramen broth was light but full of flavor, and each individual addition was cooked perfectly. There was plenty to take home, too. Will definitely eat here again!”

“Shrimp crab wontons. Housemade, amazing. Melt in your mouth. Just the right amount of spice. Ramen….the egg omg the flavor”

“The food was delicious and service outstanding! Food came put quickly. We had ramen and will definitely come back to try the pizza.”

“What a cool funky place. BYOB, so be sure to bring your sake or beer of choice with you. Great mocktail menu as well. Menu is structured a bit differently… decided to try their feature Chicken based soup, and it was delicious. Not my typical, but it was fun to go outside of my porky norm. They do offer a Tonkatsu, so I will be back. Service was super great. Very welcoming and professional, felt attended to and have no complaints. Do yourself a favor and ask for the dessert menu. So many great options, and the cheesecake did not disappoint.”

“such a cute place with INCREDIBLE service and great vibes, could be really cute for a date!!!”

“Food was amazing along with the aesthetic when you came in. Leo served us today and not only serving the food but serving us the service! He was amazing. Made the experience even more welcoming for the next time.”

“Great food, alot of flavor. Gyoza was very good and the spicy garlic edamame was a great starter. Service was quick and attentive. Came on. Saturday night around 7 and only waited 5-10 min. Cool atmosphere and fair pricing. Would totally come back. It was a great choice for date night.”
