  • "The ramen looked amazing but was not as flavorful as expected."

Ambiance

Pros:

  • "The atmosphere was cool, it looks like a traditional Japanese restaurant."
  • "It’s a really great date spot since the food is super good and the atmosphere is very cozy and it feels very secluded."

Cons:

  • "Aesthetic wise, this place is nice. The actual taste of the food is debatable."
  • "Only complaint is that somehow every time we visit one of these restaurants we get sat in the back beside the kitchen/bathrooms even tho there were MANY available seats in the front dining area."
  • "Atmosphere is nice but a little cramped."
  • "The only potential downside is they don’t have outdoor seating for those who prefer more airy settings."

  • "Also, the food seems reasonably priced."

Cons:

  • "Unbelievable that they couldn’t wait a few more minutes. I was only gone for 4 minutes at most and didn’t even pay yet, what was their reasoning for throwing away my food???"
  • "If you’re looking for really good ramen, look somewhere else."
  • "Not sure if I would come back."
  • "The only negative thing I have to say is that the staff really rush you."
