The food was great. The service not so much. At our table, we had a mix of sushi and Ramen ordered. The sushi was out 20 minutes while we waited over an hour for Ramen. It was disappointing having to have half the table waiting to eat. … More

Everything looks great except I didn't understand why our appetizer and our soup was served with our Sushi dinner? I would have liked to receive all those items a little bit more staggered so that I didn't have to stuff my face really fast … More

The RAMEN here is absolute MAGIC. 5 stars is an understatement. Everyone needs to experience this. A GREAT QUANTITY of time & passion is engraved into every bowl of ramen that is pushed out of this kitchen. I am blessed to have been able to experience this first-hand during a very unique apprenticeship. Bravo! CS

Dinner was great… Especially considering it was a party of 13! Somehow our server managed to keep everything straight and we had a wonderful experience while taking up two tables. We’ve been there on different visits and tried quite a bit of their delicious sushi but this evening we went for more traditional hibachi and Raman. The servings of Raman were so large that it could’ve easily served two kids, and that is probably what we would do in the future. And the drinks were definitely spot on!
It’s definitely an older building, and that is evident in the decor and layout, but it also offers plenty of parking as well.

The food was really good, but the organization for getting people in and out for seating was chaos. Granted, it was a Saturday night. Will try again sometime during the week when it’s less busy. More

I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen over the phone and was pretty disappointed with the experience from start to finish. First off, the pricing online is completely inaccurate—I was charged nearly double what was listed. That alone was frustrating, but I decided to give it a shot anyway.
When I got back to my hotel, I discovered the ramen was packed in a flimsy to-go container with no bowl provided, making it a messy hassle to eat. The broth tasted like it had been watered down to stretch it out—completely lacking the richness Tonkotsu is known for. On top of that, the egg wasn’t even the traditional marinated ramen egg—it was just a plain boiled egg thrown in, which really added to the underwhelming presentation.
Easily one of the most disappointing ramen experiences I’ve had.

Best in town! Food is amazing. The salad is 1000X fresh! Sushi even better. Lolita was our server today, make sure you ask for her. She was attentive and even catered to our special needs of getting steak from Fillet Mignon from next door! It was a perfect night indeed. Jolen was the sushi master thanks man!

The food here was definitely good and worth coming back for. Their nigiri was very good, the ramen was good. Felt skimped on the portion a bit, especially in comparison to some other ramen places around here. The store was extremely low … More
