Ordered for Lunch delivery. Customer Service did a good job of presentation. 2 pieces of crab, 2 shrimp, 1 mussel, 1 squid, 2 crab meat, 1 fish cake, bean sprouts, carrots, green peppers, with rice seasonings. Great smoky, little spicy oriental flavor, and for the price point with current cost of food, good amount of quality seafood rather than just fill it with popcorn shrimp or tiny scallops. Made my day with a great meal! Follow me for more reviews.

The food here was ok, not great. I was really hoping for something super tasty this day, but I found that the sweet beef in my meal wasn't super flavorful. It was midday when we went (around 12:30 pm) and it was freezing in the restaurant in mid-October. There wasn't really anyone else in there on a Monday afternoon. My friend got ramen and she said it was also just okay. Service was quick enough though.

We got this order to go and we loved most of the food, but I struggled with the kimchi ramen. The pork buns and teriyaki pork donburi were so good. I will definitely get those again. However the kimchi ramen was so spicy. I love spicy food, but this was way too much for me and I could hardly stand it. The oil burned so bad I couldn't really taste and enjoy the meal.

Friendly service, seat right away. Fun space with wooden tables and booths. Calamari came out fast and was hot. Great breading with standard rings.

I grew up in the NE suburbs around North St. Paul and have appreciated the change to more diverse cuisines offered to patron/esses. Recently just moved back to northeastern suburb from the western suburbs, and of course with any move, my biggest worry is where will I get my staple foods of sushi, great Ramen, and other fixings? I decided to try this place since the menu looked promising in terms of a good and flavorful bone-based broth. For whenever I have a Ramen craving, this will be my go to since it is just a few miles away. Um...what can I say? Service is knowledgable, attentive and kind. What more do you want from service? The ambiance is nifty. Contemporary decor in the style of Japanese tapestries and prints. There are two menus: 1.) For the Ramen, other entrees and of course appetizers, drinks and desserts and 2.) A menu for specifically for poké bowls that have been so popular in recent trends as well as many options for the most experienced Boba tea lover. I have been here a handful of times and have tried the seaweed salad, Agedashi tofu as appetizers, and ramen (char-siu) tonkatsu, and buta-niku soba. For the Niku soba, I always add kikurage (black mushrooms). Review:1.) Niku soba- the broth is my favorite. Depth, body, well rounded, and with the umami everyone wants to taste. The pork belly is...I do not know what the flavoring is! Maybe teriyaki? It is a sweet, tangy and umami flavored char siu cut thin (pork belly) dressed with sesame seeds that makes the dish along with the broth. Noodles are chewy and not gummy or unpleasant, the ingredients fresh and everything well balanced.2.) Tonkatsu Char-Siu Ramen- I am writing about both the tonkatsu broth and the dish "char-siu" ramen. Okay, for the less than knowledgable- char siu means taking the bacon and fat back of a pig and slicing it crosswise (transverse/sectional) rather than longitudinal to make bacon. The broth is less bold and full than the Niku soba broth and yet no less tasty nor balanced. It was more pork and umami forward. The accompaniments were a full amount of additions, which would be good for a newbie "ramen" customer: Half a soft boiled egg, kikurage (black mushrooms), bamboo slices, scallions, and fish cake. A traditional broth matched with all of the additional toppings!I know this sounds silly, but I also am extremely glad to see good, well steeped tea (at least, there was no tea bag, and the saturation of flavor was great). The presence of REAL chopsticks, complete with chopstick holder, and clay (I think?) dish wear was a treat. Okay so why not 5 stars? Admittedly, I am blessed to be fortunate to have tried ramen in a myriad of places around the globe and give out five stars sparingly. BOTTOM LINE: Craving Ramen? Good Japanese appetizers, a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic Japanese beverages, poke bowls and boba tea? Stop by here. It is beyond worth while!

Slow. Soggy. No.We sat down to an interior that was surprisingly bright for a restaurant outside of the fast-food industry. There were four occupied tables besides ours. Placed our orders, and chatted and waited. And waited. And waited. We waited so long that my dining partner started saying, "This tray must be ours," every time a new one appeared. After the third groan of disappointment, he stopped. Eventually, our orders of ramen and fried rice came - before the takoyaki appetizer we'd also ordered. I had to ask the server to please refill the hot water for our teapot that'd been emptied during the unusually long wait, despite leaving the lid off of the pot as the standard indicator of a refill request. Let's hope the food is worth that wait, at least! Nope. Never mind. My ramen was soggy, and my soup was not balanced. My dining partner had never had takoyaki before. He tried it first and could not understand the appeal. Then I tried it and understood why he could not understand the appeal. The whole point of takoyaki is a delicate balance between all the flavors and playful assortment of textures, and this takoyaki was just mushy and bland. We won't be back.

Portions are small and the noodles were uncooked, decent price for beer though. Service was quick as well

First time we tried this restaurant. Had the pork donburi, seafood stir fry ramen and the spicy cucumber appetizer. Could not believe that that the donburi looked exactly as the menu picture and absolutely delicious!The seafood ramen stir fry was okay, a bit too much sesame oil.Loved the spicy cucumbers wish I would have gotten 2 orders.Will definitely go back and highly recommend!!

Chicken curry ramen was tasty with a little spice. Spicy cucumber appetizer had excellent flavor. Super fast service and food came out quickly. Not a bad value either.
