I had a wonderful experience at this ramen restaurant. The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The noodles were fresh, cooked just right, and had a great texture. The pork was tender, juicy, and full of flavour. The egg was soft and delicious, adding even more richness to the bowl. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service throughout my visit. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a warm atmosphere that made me feel relaxed. Everything tasted fresh and carefully prepared. I will definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic ramen.

The food was mediocre. The ramen broth lacked flavor. Sauces were bland. A chocolate desert was served frozen when it clearly was supposed to be served at room temperature (why was it frozen to begin with?). Service was as spotty.

An excellent experience throughout. Our server was attentive and answered all our questions. At his recommendation, we tried the crispy ahi tuna appetizer, which was out of this world. What a nice meal.

We were a group of 4 adults and 4 kids celebrating Mother’s Day, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The service was very slow even though the restaurant was not busy. The edamame arrived after the entrees were already served, one of our entree orders was incorrect, and it took additional time to receive the correct dish. The food quality was also not up to the standard we remembered. The Katsu curry sauce was tasteless, and both the aubergine and chicken in the Yasai Katsu Curry and Chicken Katsu Curry tasted like they had been frozen and reheated rather than freshly prepared. The kids’ chicken was also very hard to eat. We were told the menu had changed and the salad was removed from the katsu curry dishes, so we ordered a side salad separately, but even that did not taste fresh. We used to love this restaurant and it was one of our go-to places in the city, which made this visit even more disappointing. We came to celebrate Mother’s Day and left feeling let down by both the food and service.

It was a nice place to catch up with someone I hadn’t seen in a very long time. The staff was friendly and never rushed us.

The service was incredibly poor. Didn’t get all our appetisers, boiling hot glass for my beer and all the main meals came 5 minutes apart, meaning my daughter had finished before my wife’s even arrived. The waiting staff were all very young and that’s what I attribute these errors to. The food was very good, but I would not return because of the service.
