The ramen I got was amazing. The broth was flavorful and it had a good amount of meat. The vibe was good, but I'm not much of an anime person. It has lots of posters and signs from Japanese culture. But it was clean and nice! I'd for sure go here again.

Attached are pictures of how the place is decorated SERVICE: I wonder if who was serving me was the owner. She was amazing! Quick and simple. There is a slight language barrier but I just wanted the food so it was nice. FOOD: Tbh some of the BEST ramen in nova. I pretty much like Jinya for their creamy broth but it IS a bit pricy. I got their "Kimen Ramen" rated number 1 and added spicy chili oil to my liking as well as soy sauce. The broth had depth to it and it was just honestly so good. I'm trying to eat healthy so I don't think I'll have carbs for a long time but I am SOOOO happy to say this was my last hoorah and it was worth it!

The service here is amazing. Their sodas come in giant beer glasses but I still needed a refill which they brought promptly. I love that. The pork tenderloin appetizer was so good I forgot to take a pic. I had their tom yum soup with shrimp and the pad Thai white chicken. Both tasted very authentic. I thought the noodles for pad Thai were strange (very thin, not the usual flat noodles) but the flavor was on point. My friends got the cashew chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and crispy basil fried rice with chicken and both cleaned their plates. Overall wonderful experience. This is only my second time here and I plan to go again soon. Highly recommend!!

I ordered the chicken parang curry and it was delicious. Chicken wasn't dry and the panang curry had a hint of spicy and sweet. All the hallmarks I was looking for. I was worried because they offered a lot in the menu but it didn't take long to receive my food. I was able to order my spicy salmon roll, which was a nice plus. Pleasant experience. Will come again

The atmosphere was great--you could easily have a conversation with the person sitting across from you, which I always appreciate. And the food was amazing! We tried the Katsu Curry Udon, which had a little more spice than I expected, but was still really good. The Karaage was delicious, but the fried squid legs are a MUST! The spicy mayo was absolutely amazing. The 007 is also a must-try! Highly recommend this place--we loved everything!

I would say this place is a mix between Japanese and Korean, as the spicy ramen was pretty much a mix with Kim chi which I don't mind. The karaage was pretty good, and the sushi was alright. I ordered the braised short rib ramen, and it wasn't quite perfect for me or was a hit, but it was good. I mean, there wasn't anything here I think that stood out and was spectacular. I wouldn't say it's the best ramen I've had since I've been up here, but I have had far worse. If you're looking for an affordable sit down restaurant for ramen, and a certain type of fusion between Japanese and Korean, this place is definitely a place to check out.
