Had some buddies visiting from out of town so I brought them here and the food and service was fantastic as usual. The coconut curry ramen has a bit of a kick but is fantastic. Other buddies had classic ramen and were big fans
Amazing cozy and cool vibes. Even better food!! Had the buns, ramen & bibimbap FIRE!!!!!! Chris was bartender and server, killed it. Has amazing recommendations and very attentive and kind.
They are very good about allergies! We had a fish and nut allergy on our ticket and they were proactive in asking about allergies. We felt comfortable eating our food and everything we ordered was delicious. I recommend getting buns to split and then your own individual ramens.
Great food. Awesome drink menu including an extensive NA menu. Enjoyed everything! Loved the edamame, wasn’t overly salted like most places.
Update 7/17/25: Management did the right thing and reached out and gave us a gift card, which was greatly appreciated. Will try again. Fast, friendly service. Food was good, for the most part and not cheap. Didn’t care for the burnt fried chicken, which shouldn’t have been served to us.
