Huge bowls with rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and fresh toppings like seafood or chicken.
Sweet, refreshing boba teas in flavors like taro, perfectly balanced for a delightful drink.
Light tempura, crab rangoons, and umami pork buns for tasty starters.
Flavorful curry options, including curry chicken ramen, as a surprising standout.
Perfectly seasoned chicken fried rice, reminiscent of hibachi steakhouse quality.
Wonderful flavors with a great selection. The curry was a surprrise standout. Wife loved the boba teas. Tempura was light and tasty. The ramen bowls are huge!
The service was from the woman who waited on me (forgot to ask and didn't see her name) was very excellent. The crab rangoons were very good (forgot to take a picture) and the Kaiseren (99% sure I spelled that wrong) Ramen Bowl was the not just the best Seafood Ramen Bowl I've but the best overall Ramen Bowl I've ever had. It's one of their premium bowls so it's a little more expensive than the others but definitely worth it if you like seafood. Definitely going to try coming back here before I leave the area
Absolutely loved this place! The ramen broth was rich and flavorful noodles cooked perfectly and the toppings were fresh. Their boba tea was just as amazing sweet refreshing and perfectly balanced. The staff was so friendly and made us feel welcome. Definitely my new go-to ramen spot
My husband & I stumbled upon this restaurant as a last-minute google search for dinner, we're out-of-towners only staying for the night. But my goodness, this place was AMAZING!! The staff was so friendly, our server checked on us frequently & was super kind to chit-chat with. The food was A+++. My husband ordered the Curry Chicken Ramen & loved it. I order the Chicken Fried Rice & oof it tasted like that perfect fried rice you'd order from a hibachi steakhouse. We shared the Umami Pork Buns & they were wonderful. I also had Taro Boba Tea & was fabulous. My husband & I cannot recommend this new restaurant enough, we just loved it. They said they've only been open for about 2 months, & I'd say they're off to a strong & promising start.
While the food was very good, our server Megan was the standout point of our visit. She is very personable, kind, offered delicious suggestions and gave exemplary service. She truly made it a great first experience.
