We came here during restaurant week and definitely felt it was a great deal for 3 courses! We made a reservation online a few days before and were seated immediately. We started with 2 different types of dumplings, kimchi & pork and veggie dumplings. They came out hot, fresh and crispy! And absolutely delicious and both had great flavor. they both came with chili sauce to dip with but it was not spicy. This was my favorite course of the meal. For the second course, we ordered the tonkatsu ramen, which in my opinion, was only alright. It was pretty salty and didn't have much flavor. The pork was big and the best part of the ramen for me! The portion was pretty big and we took the remainder to go. Lastly, we ordered the yuzu cake, which was sadly a huge disappointment. It tasted just like a dry, plain pound cake and had no yuzu flavor whatsoever. Our waitress was nice and attentive and kindly packaged our food to go.

We had the to the tonkotsu and the siho. Delicious broth with the tonkotsu and extra pork belle. Service was exceptional. Paid attention to our request. And great suggestion. Finish with matcha ice cream and other dessert was a ice cream cookies with a but crunch.

Cute spot to eat, every time we passed by it was always super busy so we wanted to try it out. Only reason for 4 stars was because we asked for our appetizer 3 times before having it taken off the bill.
We got tonkotsu ramen & Shoyu ramen. -
My friend and I went here, I am vegan and got the vegan ramen and she got a non-vegan ramen (the milky one). They were both delicious, but my noodles were better (they were the chewy wavy ramen kind; hers were like spaghetti). We also got the seaweed popcorn snack and it was SO DELICIOUS, and the wasabi peas were so-so. Good deals during happy hour and $10 cocktails!! As a vegan I also really appreciated the fee foam in cocktails instead of egg white!!👏🏻

Food was terrible, it had no flavor, it was like drinking water. As an asian, I can’t recommend it. Service was slow and we had to ask for pepper and salt for the ramen to at least taste like something.
