Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Beef Sukiyaki. Delicious, absolutely belly-filling."
  • "The meal was delectable as always."
  • "Best Ramen I have ever had. The pork is cooked to perfection where it just melts in your mouth."
  • "The broth was excellent and creamy."
  • "The broth had the perfect balance of heat and flavor, making each slurp a journey for the taste buds."
  • "The food was delicious probably the best ramen I’d ever had before!"
  • "The miso ramen had a rich and flavorful broth that perfectly complemented the tender noodles and generous toppings."

Cons:

  • "The sushi, the quality is below average, tastes funny and the color of tuna was off (likely bleached)."
  • "The veggie ramen barely met the definition of ramen with undercooked noodles, bland broth, and a house salad dumped inside."
  • "The food itself was just VERY AVERAGE overall. The fried chicken pieces were good though, not like KFC or popcorn chicken."
  • "The noodles are mushy and the broth taste like they use the same noodle water to make it."
  • "The ramen noodle broth comes with MSG, which is not a good thing. The broth was also pretty bland with no distinguishable profile."
  • "The seafood Ramen was not fully cooked."
  • "The pork buns were some of the fattiest ones I’ve ever had."

Cons:

  • "Little aggressive checking to see if you're ready to order."

  • "The beautiful cultural decoration wasn't there which was sad."
  • "The atmosphere is decent. The interior decorations are nice and the restaurant is well designed, but the tables are falling apart and are kinda randomly assorted."
  • "Little bit close to the toilets and the table and chairs seemed kinda cheap."
  • "They need more people working and also the music was very loud."
  • "I was going to give this place a 4 because the a/c wasn't working and it was hot."

Pricing

Pros:

  • "The meal was not pricey at all and was very standard for ramen!"

  • "Fair pricing, good portions."
  • "Lot of food for a low price."
  • "Very affordable. Like 12-14 bucks a plate."
  • "Affordable, clean, and everything is delicious!"

Cons:

  • "Love their ramen and rice dishes... I give it 3 stars because they charge a service fee and tip which is equivalent to another order of rice or ramen bowl."
  • "Food was good but mandatory tip 18% surprised us."
  • "They added a tip in advance regardless as per the information on the menu tip is added for service of 4 and more people."
  • "The ramen was kinda good but tbh it's way too expensive."
  • "They added 26%~ tip to the bill, without asking, warning or even saying they did it."
  • "It's not 10-20$ level, I ordered 1 sushi roll, 2 ramens, and tea = 78$."
  • "Also, they do not give free hot tea like other places do 😔"
