Fantastic Japanese restaurant with excellent food and service! πŸœπŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ We ordered two different ramen dishes, and both were absolutely fantastic. I got the Short Rib Ramen, and I have to admit, the price initially made me a little nervous. But when they brought it out and I saw two enormous pieces of short rib sitting in the bowl, all questions immediately disappeared. πŸ˜‚ The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the ramen itself was delicious. The restaurant is also exceptionally clean and well maintained. The tables were actually clean and didn’t feel sticky β€” which, unfortunately, is something worth mentioning after visiting some other American restaurants. πŸ˜… The interior is small but very cozy, with lovely artwork and a beautiful cherry blossom tree welcoming you at the entrance. The staff was also top-notch: friendly, attentive, and professional. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Definitely a place worth visiting, and we’ll be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tried this place for the first time. Service was great, and the food was delicious! The Gyoza was delightfully crispy, and that Mango Roll is top tier!

Delicious Japanese food! We went here on a whim and it happened to be during the soft opening (10 percent discount!). We were seated right away in the dining room off to the left side of the restaurant. Very nice decor all over! The menu is huge and it was very difficult to decide between all the options. I settled on the Hibachi Chicken and my boyfriend ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen (Spicy!). Mine came with miso soup, which isn’t my favorite soup but it was good. I LOVED the flavor of the chicken and the yum-yum sauce was great! The fried rice was good too as were the mixed vegetables (however I do not personally like broccoli and there was a lot of it). My boyfriend loved his ramen; he said the pork was extremely tender with amazing flavor, and the broth was spicy and delicious. I kinda wish my food was a little hotter but it was warm enough. The waitress was great and always kept our water glasses filled. The prices are quite reasonable and we’re excited to come back again after it fully opens!
