Fried chicken
C. H.

We were in the mall and decided to stop by for lunch. We were seated right away. Tea and water were dropped off after a short wait. Service was friendly and fast. Food itself was decent. I ordered the original ramen and it was good. It definitely was not the best ramen I have ever eaten, but it was satisfying when I was craving a bowl of noodles. The soft boiled marinated was perfect. The chashu could be more flavourful if it was torched. I also ordered the salmon oshi. The oshi was tasty and made well. Ambiance is modern and trendy. This is a much nicer restaurant to enjoy a meal when I do not feel like eating at the food court. Restaurant was kid friendly with kids cutlery available. Prices were average.

Service was super quick and the ramen was tasty. My other qualm was that it could have been slightly larger as I was still a bit hungry after. They appear to only have the one size though so next time I may just have to order more toppings/broth. I also ordered the edamame beans which are pretty basic but a decent protein snack and they didn't disappoint. They've got a lot to try so I will definitely be back!

Beautiful establishment. It's great that the Langley area is getting a variety of restaurants. Service is friendly. Ramen was delicious. Love how you can get tan tan ramen, chicken, or pork chashu as options. The roast pork add on is tasty. Will be back.

Stepping into this restaurant, my expectations were sky high. The ambience was screaming high class establishments...until I got greeted. Walking in we were greeted poorly, and was pointed to our table instead of being properly seated. When receiving service, the server obliged to our orders however, got our drink orders wrong. I had high hopes for a Japanese Ramen establishment, to make good ramen, and to have strong tea. Unfortunately their ramen noodles tasted like store bought noodles and their tea was so watery that I had to ask the waitress for a fresh one. Compared to other ramen places with similar prices, the quality of their noodles was not freshly made, no taste, no firmness, it was just bland. The broth was ok, it was not good and it was not bad but it wasn't worth the pricing. However the meats and the toppings were good, the portions were small when it came to the toppings and there was nothing special about them but the meat overall made it taste unique. My over feelings towards this place was disappointment. I understand every place is doing what it can to service in the economy but I hope they don't expect people to tip well for this kind of service and mediocre food.

Tried out this restaurant with my family after a visit to Driedger Farms for some blueberry picking…read moreand really enjoyed the well priced lunch specials and sushi rolls! First we ordered a sushi and sashimi box which came with a large portion of fresh sashimi, 4 pieces of nigiri, prawn tempura, gyoza and chicken teriyaki. We changed it to beef teriyaki for $1 and even though the box came to around $18, I think it was worth it for the quality of food! The sashimi was all very nicely cut, smooth and flavourful. The beef was not fatty or overly sauced and the tempura was a generous portion of prawn rather than just veggies. We were also presented with complimentary edamame for the entire table! Next, we got their Baked Salmon Roll and Agedashi Tofu Lunch special. This was again, a great deal because the roll itself cost $11.95 so we got an agedashi tofu for only 2 dollars! The tofu was really hot when it came to the table but so soft in a delicious sweet sauce. The roll was a surprise as it was topped with baked salmon AND cheese. I am not a fan of cheese so this ate a little heavy for me BUT my parents really liked the interesting combination and honestly, it kind of worked! The roll was filled with imitation crab meat and the rice layer was nice and thin. Last, we got a chopped scallop roll and it was simple but wonderfully done! With large scallop pieces, well flavoured rice and a good rice to filling portion, I really enjoyed this roll! Overall, we really enjoyed this meal and the service was also extremely sweet!

Lunch visit. We each ordered chicken Lunch Box B. Seemed like an unadventurous order, but safe. We…read moreneedn't have worried. Each bite was delicious! A small bowl of edamame along with tea was delivered as we were reading the menu. Chicken Teriyaki was tender, flavourful settled a bed of very thinly sliced vegetables - so tasty. Tempura consisted of a bean and 3 shrimp! Noodle salad with a large prawn atop was served in the Lunchbox - Miso soup before the box arrived. Everything flavoured well. A fine meal very well priced. We'll be back!

We were lured in by a Japanese street sign calling our name on an otherwise dim evening. The…read moresignage reminded us of our time in Japan, true authenticity. A very nice meal for the wife and myself on a chilly October evening. For the Mrs, the spicy beef donburi, and for myself the garlic tonkatsu ramen. Upon entry we were greeted by an automated, robotic Japanese greeting which was truly authentic. It really brought us back to our days in Nippon, where each restaurant greeted us with a smile and a call. First confusing experience of the night... do the donburi come with rice? On the menu, the portions are magnified in such a way that makes the rice invisible underneath to mountains of proteins. We foolishly asked the waiter who kindly informed us that the restaurant assumes the customer knows that the average bellinghamster knows that donburi means rice bowl. Consider us a part of the club only after this meal. Food was very excellent and served in large portions, so the wife has some for her lunch tomorrow. There are so many positives about our experience I will only mention the deductions. -3pts music needs improvement... (sounded like imagine dragons??.... AJR??) -5 points for what looked to be an AI font flyer on the wall -1pt for disposable water cup too small. Otherwise, +100pts for great food and kind service. Perhaps another date night will see us here in the future... once I am feeling nostalgic for my days in Japan again. Price reasonable. Not bad to get a dinner date under $50 in this economy ha.

Idk about the other reviews but I love this place. There is no rush to place your order. You order…read moreyourself. I mean I guess being the introvert that I am, it's awesome. For those who got ones that lacked flavor...Probably got tofu flavored. Black garlic tonkotsu here is rich. They might serve a bigger menu if you go earlier. Later at night seems to be smaller. I've been going here every-time I drop into Bellingham. The night owl's ramen shop. -being a bigger guy though comfier chairs would be nice, but probably keeps people from staying too long lol. Anyways my go to place for some hearty ramen.
