The vegan ramen is so good, especially they have the option of smaller size. The Chilean sea bass is very fresh.

Best dishes: Yellowtail sashimi w jalapeño citrus soy, the karaage is fantastic, Chashu Pork, Angeleno roll, and any of the Ramen; best Ramen I've ever had! Call ahead to make a reservation!

They have this tofu thing that they make in front of you. It looks cooler than it tastes but it also tastes pretty good. The omakase is a great deal too - lots of food.

Melt in yo mouth. Chicken and oysters, tsukune, pork chashu, shrimp toast were all delish. Order the ramen half-size! Black ramen ftw

Great places for skewers and the ramen bowls are perfect for a rainy day.

It's a little cramp during the lunch crowd. It's a small space and lots of patrons. Be sure to come early to get seats.

The spicy chicken ramen (karamen) is one of the best i ever had. Delicious menu, affordable!
AlexMay 3, 2015
Ramen here is fabulous! Also, try the unfiltered sake and the albacore truffle roll: you'll be blown away😉

Such an amazing place! Try their "Special" ramen (Only a few orders made daily), the salmon skewers, the shrimp toast and the Japanese pumpkin!

Order the Homemade Organic Tofu (highly tasty) but don't serve it until you wait at least 5 mins 'til it solidifies! Better yet just ask your server or let him or her handle it.
Benjamin PalmerMay 18, 2018
the robata! lotus root, enoki mushrooms, salmon belly. and the fresh tofu.

If you want a ridiculously amazing dinner, take the chef's suggestions and order all the signature dishes - it will succeed in blowing your mind!! Best Ramen I've had to date!

I love love this restaurant. Omakase is the best deal, $35 one is enough for two people to share.
Dani LeNoirSeptember 28, 2015
Love the crispy shrimp balls, asparagus skewers, lollipop kale and hand rolls!

"When you're in the mood for miso-marinated beef tongue, or the delicate chicken meatballs called tsukune, or delicate grilled shiitakes, you're probably in the right restaurant." - Jonathan Gold Read more

The ramen is excellent, and for dessert try the green tea mochi!

I had some Robata during happy hour. Yum!!! Like this place
Salim MithaNovember 27, 2016
Came for lunch and left unimpressed. Sushi rice was heavy with starchy feel & taste. Tempura average. Kids meal OK, with highlight being the chicken meatballs. I would give this a miss
Christina ChinOctober 31, 2015
Got random tapas and the ramen. Tempura kale is awesome
Charles T SebestaSeptember 1, 2015

Allen KuOctober 4, 2014
Decent omakase that gets you super full. Good karaage too.
Dominique CherelleJanuary 29, 2012
Sushi: go for the albacore with crispy onions and ALWAYS get some ramen. Delicious!
Olga SheremetyevaJanuary 5, 2014
Kill samurai rolls are delicious! Take them if you like crab meat.

a little overhyped but some dishes really are incredible
Jeremy KanterMay 7, 2018
The assorted sashimi was the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life.
Christal CodyJanuary 20, 2013
Amazing. Get the truffled brussels sprouts.

The ramen, pork belly, and bagnacauda are A+++. Can't wait to go back!

A half-portion of ramen and a couple of robata skewers = great comfort food

Bang for your buck! Order Bento box
wesoneDecember 9, 2011
If you dont like something they tell you to suck it. Spicy ramen had a sliver of pork and the broth tastes like burnt ball sack. Had ramen 200x better at Chabuya. Creamy shrimp were good though!
James LeeSeptember 8, 2012
the homemade tofu pudding is amazing
Michael UdemDecember 29, 2012
Mediocrity and undeserving price are what you should expect. However the if you grow starving, the food would be divine… just like any other dish by any crap cook.

Try the ramen, beef and garlic skewers abs the Mochi plate!
