My order took a little longer than expected, but the food was fresh and worth the wait. I was a little disappointed that I stopped by in the evening hoping to order a bento box, only to find out they're only available earlier in the day. It would be helpful if that information was posted more clearly. The specialty roll was delicious, and the California roll tasted good as well. My only suggestion would be to make the rolls a little larger. Compared to other sushi restaurants I've visited, both the California roll and specialty roll were on the smaller side. The quality and flavor were there, I just would have liked a little more value in the portion size. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would recommend this restaurant. The food was fresh, the service was good, and I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

There's a rule us Asians use to quickly filter out Asian restaurants that may not be good: who are…read morethe majority of folks who are eating inside and who are the chef/cooks? This place didn't pass that test and it may be the only time in history where it proved me so wrong. When we were served the karage chicken with what appeared to be plain mayo I was seriously doubting my choice. It all changed when the ramen came out. This place is legit. They took the time to master their craft and they pay respect to what a proper bowl of ramen is. We both went for the spicy black garlic tonkatsu with differing spice levels; mild and reaper (+$1). Let's start with that -- typically all you pay for is a glob of chill oil that may or may not be spicy. This was not the case here, it added serious heat without altering the flavor. The black garlic was not burnt. The ramen had depth and umami, but could have been a but more seasoned. Eggs were cooked well and still jammy. If im ever in the area i'd be back.

I had the straight noodles instead of the curly/thicker noodles and honestly if I even come back to this restaurant I'll have to try the curly since I don't think Kintaro does their straight noodles well. Too soft and too "spaghetti" like. Hands down, the only place that does the straight noodles right is Jinya Ramen. But even so, I wasn't too fond of the broth or texture of the chashu here. Overall, the atmosphere is great. You have the option to self-order and the portions are large. Staff was friendly and nonetheless my friend and I had a great time. But unless I'm coming back here with someone who wants to eat here, I don't see myself actively choosing to be back at this spot over other ramen places anytime soon.

Then I ordered 3 sides of just the broth and egg later that week. Then I kept doing that over. and over. and over. Then I had to give myself a break Still my go to place! The containers are "door dash safe" so you can tell they don't skimp out on containers. No spilled ramen. That makes me very happy. Definitely my go to spot, even when it's triple digits outside

But it unfortunately didn't live up to that standard. It tasted more like the panang curry.

Everything was a bit on the sweeter side. Only good thing was the appetizer fried chicken!

The tonkatsu and marinated eggs were seasoned super well and really brought the ramen together. Service could be better.

After that, the meal was a smooth ride. They were very attentive with refills.

I avoided this restaurant for years due to the abandoned look and the poor reviews. Well, today, I…read morewanted ramen and didn't feel like traveling for it. I went in half afraid and came out full with left overs. It's all about expectations. Were the noodles are a bit different than usual? Yes but they were spring and chewy enough. The eggs are well pickled and hard boiled which is how I love it and difficult to get at other ramen places. I asked for vegetable broth and received a rich, dark broth with plenty of flavor (was it really veggie?). The beef was also good, maybe slightly overcooked by some loftier standards but no complaints from me. It seems most of their business is uber/to go orders. It's a great place for a reasonable bowl of ramen at doesnt pretend to be fancy. I will be back.

Service was good, but they looked mad for no reason. Not going back. I can put 1 of 6 different types of fish in my ramen, not counting Shrimp! Lame. Weak menu. Not everybody wants to eat sliced meat! Bone broth from pork, cow, or chicken has nothing to do with the protein in a soup. I used to work at a Pho shop; the menu was boring too- just red meats, and Americans mostly wanted fried chicken in their Pho soup! Noodles were fine, not bouncy and wavy like I enjoy most. Bland noodles that may not absorb the soup's flavors well. There's an easy way to do so, but they obviously don't pre-flavor the noodles. Also wayyyyyy OVERPRICED for Bland noodles and soup. Total joke, place needs to shut down already.

I skipped an appetizer since they did not have agedashi tofu on the menu, which was a bummer. For my entrée, I ordered the miso chicken ramen. A huge plus is the pricing because the ramen comes fully loaded with a seasoned egg and traditional toppings included, making it a great value compared to spots that charge for extras.The flavor itself was a bit underwhelming, though. The broth was very dark brown and lacked both the distinct miso richness and the expected spicy kick. That said, the service was straightforward, and the space is well designed with nice seating for small groups of 4 or 6. Overall, it is a decent, budget friendly option for ramen in town.

First night eating here. I was extremely excited to have a Korean eatery near us with a high…read morerating. On arrival I saw 4 posted signs on the door for hiring. Red flag. Basically, it tasted as if the owner is in the back running the line because his cooks left him hanging. Crappily marinated, improperly cooked meat is what we got. Who ever was on the sides and banchan were on it though. They need a raise. Also, clean your restaurant and pick a theme man. Sidenote, having the server come out to tell us without coming out yourself is lame. They apologized many times to say sorry, the owner is in the back and told me to tell you such and such: "You just don't like "our" food. It's supposed to be like that." No, pretty sure it isn't. Your marinade for your meat is not good. The star goes toward your pantry cook. The banchan was not bad, weird lineup but not bad. Why no japchaee, or radish kimchi? Also, that much mayo on steamed broccoli def wasn't my favorite. They really tried to convince us that this is how it's supposed to taste, "What do you mean it tastes sour?" I mean, your marinade has too much vinegar in it. It tastes bad. "What exactly is wrong with the galbi?" It sat in the marinade too long, the meat taste grainy- because of the pear in the marinade- or pineapple juice to each their own. It can basically cook the meat before the meat hits the pan if you leave it in there too long. You would notice this stuff during the plating process- presentations good. But if the foods bad, it's bad no matter how pretty you make it look. We paid the full bill, didn't touch the meat. Pancake was good. Gave 10% to the server, because it wasn't her fault but she didn't help the situation. Forgot to mention as well: a lady and her kids at the table next to us got her meal discounted because of the food. When I asked if it is usually better she said, yes so much better. I'm not sure who is back there but it isn't the normal cook. It's pretty bad tonight. Maybe it was a one off, like everyone has but... the idea that you can try to convince customers that maybe they're wrong and just don't know how Korean food should taste surely did leave a bad taste for us.

Pretty solid spot in Keller for casual Japanese dishes. The interior is brightly lit and welcoming…read more The staff is very friendly. There's plenty of tables and booths. We tried the chasu bun, chicken karaage, hoshi ramen & yakisoba. The ramen portion was general and the broth was pretty good. The soba stood out; it had a little much mayo but overall the flavor was really great. Would recommend!

Back from Japan and craving Ramen we started the hunt for a local spot today…read more The service was excellent and the restaurant itself had a nice ambiance. Gyoza to start that were nice and crispy, could have done with more than the teaspoonful of sauce we were given though. Maximum tea points, hot green tea that tasted delicious and was served in the cutest little pot I've seen in a while. It was a terrible pourer though, but the waiter warned me and put some napkins on the table to clean up. The ramen was quite disappointing, I know how spoiled I currently am with the memory of Ichibahn burned into my brain, but...these were quite pricey and not that good. The broth was lightly flavored with little depth, the beansprouts and corn (why are these in my ramen?) Moved the flavour profile even brighter and there was quite a lot of green onion. With a $5 add on for 2 small slices of extra pork that's a $20 bowl. So yes, 3 stars. They have bottled Kirin so I might be back, but I will be exploring the other menu items.
