    Izakaya w/ Japanese tapas & non-traditional ramen & great HH drinks. Stay away from the skimpy yakitori sticks. Order the Uni ramen w/ tomato, scallion, & Parmesan, grilled edamame, & fried squid legs

    Izakaya w/ tapas & non-traditional ramen. Wish broth less salty & thick in Uni ramen w/ tomato, scallion, & Parmesan.Fried squid legs had light & tasty seasoning. Char shu buns were not too fatty&good

    Pineapple & lychee mojitos are good @ $6 during M-F 4-8pm HH. Deep fried squid legs is decent & Grilled Edamame is 1 of best edamame apps V & I have ever had! LC, pls make this a regular menu item. 😋

    Nice vibes inside like a dimly lit izakaya, with reasonable prices. Chikuwa is my go-to app! Small warm house sake is a small carafe for $10. The sukiyaki could be better. Will still be back!

    Get the volcano. Best Japanese hotpot I've had here and in Japan. Add some udon at the end to fully utilize the soup. Karaage and brussels sprouts are solid starters.

    Under rated for sure! Have been to dozens of ramen places in the city and this is better than most. Prices are super reasonable and no wait. Pork buns were great too.

    Get the "lucky cat" ramen, well balanced portion of toppings, ramen, and noodles. On the same level of totto ramen! You can choose thick or thin noodles for your ramen.

    Lucky cat ramen is excellent, pork bun is awesome, spicy tuna and pork rice bowls are delish. Cant wait to try the hot pot volcano. Open til 4am weekends, prices are really great.

    It's not a classy but a great place to have comfort food.The spicy tuna tacos are good and the ramen is not bad. Quite place to have drinks with friends. Check it out if you are in midtown east.

    The lucky cat ramen is a great start. Broth is very flavorful and the pork is nice and tender. The pork bun was disappointing, drown in mayo. Try the Japanese wheat beer Kawaba.

    Get the crispy kale appetizer, it's the best thing you will ever taste! Smothered in an umami sauce with Parmesan cheese and deep fried

    Sukitama Don is the most delish gyudon (thinly-sliced beef rice bowl) in my hood. 😋 Too bad they didn't give as much sauce when you take it to go.

    Pork buns here are mind blowing! Wasn't impressed by the spicy tuna tacos. Did try the ramen and can't wait to get back for another bowl!

    Being a vegetarian I have to say this place has the best vegetarian ramen noodle in the city so far.
