I tried the cold soba noodles, and they were perfect for a hot summer day. They really hit the spot when you’re craving noodles but don’t want anything heavy or hot. I love this place—the food is always great, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. Definitely a spot I would recommend!

Four of us had lunch a few weeks ago. It was our first time there. It was a very cold day, so I though Ramen would be perfect for lunch.
My husband had an udon soup (with extra ear mushrooms) with a side of battered fried shrimp. I had the Tonkatsu ramen. Our friends ordered similar dishes, to include fried gyoza.
The soup was good, but I've had better ramen with a richer flavor. I love soft boiled eggs and I always order an extra half. Yum.
Everything else was delicious.
Friendly service and a cool atmosphere. Lots of seats at the bar.

The food has been absolutely delicious. However, if you’re a fan of chicken or lamb, your options may be a bit limited.
The soups were flavorful, and the sushi was exceptional.
Be sure to ask the waiter for chicken options with your main course—they’ll be happy to assist you.
The service is also fantastic.

Been here a couple times and if you’re feeling soup this place doesn’t disappoint. The service is nice. There’s usually a good amount of people in the restaurant. Atmosphere is welcoming, with an open kitchen so you can see the cooks working. The broth is always on point, and the soup is fresh. It made my wife happy so everything was perfect.

If I could give them more than five stars in every category, I would! The food, atmosphere, and service was incredible. Everything was fast, fresh, and beyond delicious. Our server gave us incredible recommendations. I was really amused when he swished my bottle of soju around to create a little tornado inside! There were just so many little touches like that which made the whole experience so much fun. I can't wait to come back.
