Their kitchen is tiny and can't sustain the amount of patrons. The cuisine is delicious and the ingredients are super fresh. Their ramen is outstanding, with various types of noodles and broths to choose from. The wings are also fantastic, but unfortunately they don't have any sides I can eat so I can't get them as a main course. I wish they added more vegetable or salad or brown rice to their menu. It would deserve 5 stars if there were more sides, more non-spicy, and more non-fried options on the menu.

It has even earned the ultimate "Asian elder approved" stamp of admiration from my parents, making it a fantastic dining destination for families, small groups, and large parties alike. The food quality is consistently good, and the buffet area is kept exceptionally clean and well-stocked. They even post helpful sauce recipes so you can mix and match your own dipping blends. The menu can feel slightly limited in specific areas, for instance, the thin-sliced meat is only on the hot pot menu, meaning you have to opt for both the BBQ and hot pot combo to order it. It would also be great to see popular additions like steamed egg and cheese corn on the menu, but the current selection is still more than good enough to warrant regular return visits. The staff is a massive reason why this location stands out. The team goes above and beyond to make guests feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Water glasses are always full and dirty plates always get picked up before I can even put it down! During a birthday celebration for my dad, the shift lead was incredibly thoughtful down to the last detail--he proactively offered a candle, perfectly timed the tiramisu dessert delivery, requested my dad's ID for a comped meal, and made him feel remarkably special. On a separate visit, the team noticed my mom really enjoyed a specific after-dinner mint that they have in the candy bowl at the front. He handed her an entire handful on her way out. That level of personal, homey attention makes a lasting impression. The restaurant is notably cleaner than typical AYCE hot pot and BBQ joints (no greasy floors or sticky tables - yay!) , and the astronaut-themed decor gives the space a unique, cute aesthetic. Because dozens of individual table grills are running simultaneously, the dining room can get quite warm, so it is best to dress in easily removable layers before heading inside.

They separate the broth from noodles) Glad to see Takara expanding, such a great gem in the neighborhood! Don't forget sign for their loyalty program!

Finally made my way here to check this place out as I've heard many good things. I will say this:…read moreUp To Me lives up to the hype, and I was not disappointed!! The atmosphere of this ramen shop is a bit different than the others in the general area. You walk in and order from the counter, pay, then sit and wait for it to get to your table (or for it to be bagged up to go). Not a problem at all, I just noticed the difference - many ramen shops around are more of a "sit down" vibe with wait staff and such. I was promptly greeted when entering, and they were very good at recommending their favorite ramen to me. I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen (per recommendation between that and the spicy shoyu). First off, is the broth. Their broth is REALLY GOOD!! I found myself treating this more soup-like than most ramen visits, and went for the soup spoon a bit earlier than I usually do. The noodles were very "slurp-able", and the bamboo, scallion & sweet corn were great compliments! The second thing that will stick with me is the quail eggs. Another differentiator - these were tiny marinated eggs that come either 3 or 5. They were cooked & marinated perfectly... I kind of wish I opted in for the 5 as opposed to the 3!! The Chashu pork was really good, although it was different than what I was used to. It didn't really have that "Chashu" taste that I've grown accustomed to, and it tasted kind of like it was marinated in a soy sauce or something similar. Again, it was very very good. No complaints here, it just had a different vibe. A refreshing change!! Overall, I will definitely be coming back here. If you need a ramen fix and are in the Marlborough area - Up To Me is absolutely a viable option!!

A variety of dishes that need work, but overall made for a good experience…read more The agedashi tofu was decent, if sometimes the batter was a bit thick. The sashimi salad was a bit of a miss, as there were only four slices of fish, and then some iceberg lettuce (!) that was underwhelming for the price paid. The beef negima, beef rolls, were decent, though sometimes the beef was a bit tough. The mains were a hit and miss; the tofu soondubu was the better of the two, with tofu that retained its heat well, nicely diced vegetables in the interior, and a decent flavoring in the hot soup. The rice was a good texture. The Nabe Yaki Udon had a soup that I didn't find super compelling; it seemed a bit artificial, but not enough complexity at the same time).

The online ordering process was fairly straightforward- the site is used by other restaurants in our area so I had to double-check it was the right one! I pretty much always order the same vegetarian rolls - some may say boring, I say easy to please. This night, I ordered a sweet potato tempura roll, a peanut avocado roll, and an AAC with mango roll. I waited a few moments for the food once I arrived. The restaurant is open and bright- there are many succulents and plants near the entrance. There is a weird plastic screen mounted from the ceiling by the door- sort of a makeshift vestibule. I imagine during cold months, it helps regulate the temperature inside. I really only noticed it because I was standing there, staring at it while I waited for my order. It was a pretty clever contraption. The food was ready just a few moments after I arrived at the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and courteous- asked if I wanted chopsticks or soy sauce and happily accommodated my request for low sodium soy sauce. Took the rolls home and enjoyed them in pjs while a thunderstorm rolled through. I'd say the food was fine. There was no eel sauce on my rolls- which I wasn't sure if it's because I ordered all vegetarian. But, they needed something for flavor. I opted for hoisin sauce we had in our fridge. The sweet potato roll felt a bit like soggy tempura had been used- hence, needing a sauce. The peanut avocado tasted a lot like each of those ingredients and was very basic feeling without any added flavor. The AAC with mango roll was very tasty. Given the generic ordering I do for sushi rolls, I may likely opt for a different place next time but won't rule Sake Hana out forever.
