    Them noodles... Fabulous! Vito but a rivals the flavored in Manhattan and Vancouver. Really a wonderful little spot and they care about the food they create.

    There is no wrong choice, but the Tonkotsu ramen bowl makes my mouth so delirious every time I order it... oh yes, and the Low Country Smoked Pork Belly Buns.

    Pork Belly Bao Buns, Tonkatsu Ramen & the Buta Bowl- are all incredible! If you like spicy, but not super hot, get the Buta bowl with the chili sauce on the side. Great drinks to!

    I would definitely recommend their seasonal squash vegan ramen as well as the cider sake! By far the best ramen in Charlotte! (But skip on the vegan buns appetizer)

    Tonkotsu was great, the broth was flavorful and thick, the noodles were also well cooked. Pork belly buns are delicious as well! A great place for ramen!

    Great vegan friendly restaurant. Favorite Japanese food in Charlotte. I highly recommend the brussels sprouts without the fish!

    Fire and ice. Not too spicy. Add mushrooms! The salmon is just right. So much flavor from smoking and just a little sweet.

    The shishito peppers(seasonal), pork belly buns, fried miso tofu squares, and the buta ramen bowl are all delicious!

    Fire and ice ramen was delicious both times. Just wish it was a tad spicier.

    What food we received was pretty good. People who came in after my table received entrees before. When asked waitress about she was very unhelpful as was the owner

    Was really excited about trying this place. The service was horrible and disorganized. People arrived later than us were receiving their food. Just a poor experience. What a let down.
