The restaurant has a really nice aesthetic and gives off a quality vibe as soon as you walk in. I know they're known for their ramen, but we all ended up going for rice bowls instead. Everything we ordered tasted really good, and we also enjoyed the appetizers. The agedashi tofu stood out to me--it had a unique shape and was super enjoyable. Definitely glad I got to try this spot with my family. That said, I probably wouldn't come back specifically for the rice bowls since it's something I feel like I could recreate at home with ingredients from an Asian market. However, I would be interested in coming back to try their ramen next time. Overall, a solid spot worth trying!

The texture is so light and creamy so it feels like eating healthy ice cream. You can order at the counter but there's also a convenient kiosk if you already know what you want. Only downside is that when I initially looked at the nutrition facts I was like "oh, it's 165 calories for this dessert! Nice" but if you look at it more closely it says the there's 3 servings in a container. Okay, no way there's 3 servings in that jar

I love that they have so many flavors to choose from--you can go all the way fruity with mango, strawberry or even avocado, or choose one with coffee, matcha, or even banana nutella! Every coconut dessert comes in the cutest jar too. I think I'll actually be reusing mine instead of disposing them. What we tried: Jasmine Coconut - 3.5/5 Sunset Mango Coconut - 4/5 Banana Nutella Coconut - 4/5 Triple Latte - 5/5 My favorite out of the ones we had was definitely the Triple Latte. The coffee jelly added a bit of different texture to the dessert and the coffee flavor wasn't too strong, which surprisingly I preferred for this. I couldn't help but finish the whole thing on my own, and super quick at that too! Another one I was really excited to try was the Jasmine Coconut, which comes in a smaller jar, but it turned out to be a little underwhelming for me. You can barely taste the jasmine tea jelly. Don't get me wrong, it was still good--I just hoped you could taste the jasmine more. The shop was charming with a few tables and chairs, but it was a little hot inside. There was also just one person at the counter, but she was quick, friendly and very helpful--I don't think the speed of service suffered at all.

We also tried a pork bun, spicy tuna roll, and California roll. The sushi tasted very fresh, the pork buns were some of the best we ever had. We also really enjoyed the ramen. We had just returned from Japan and found the flavors very authentic. Service was excellent and no wait for a table around 1:30pm. There is indoor and outdoor seating but we sat indoors and really enjoyed our experience. We stumbled across it by accident as it's located in a corner of the food court to the left as you walk in and we were so happy with our choice given all the many food options at UTC. We would definitely come back to eat here again next time we are at the mall.

The interior is a little small but the staff are sweet and pretty attentive. As for the food, we really like their noodles! Not too soggy or firm and we loved how it wasn't too thick. The chashu wasn't my favorite but the pieces are big. I got the standard tonkotsu ramen with chef recommendations and we also got the bonito fish king special which we liked but it was a bit salty. The portions are on the smaller side but it was enough for us to feel content. Karaage was also great. Would come again!

My recent favorite has been their Black King (black garlic and calamari ink in a silky broth with chashu, black minced pork ball, black sesame, and Nagi spices).

Even though I was full from the ramen, I still ended up having stuffing myself with the chicken karagee.

Tantanmen: As a person who isn't a big tantanmen fan, I was shocked that I enjoyed this. The spice level was tolerable, and the saltiness level was okay, until you get to the bottom 3rd of the bowl. You get good portions and meat to noodle ratio, so it's worth it. Tonkotsu Ajitama: Creamy with a touch of saltiness. I love a good tonkotsu ramen, and I think this is a good introduction to tonkotsu. I'm glad that they have a bunch of options so people can customize how they want their tonkotsu ramen. Pork Paiko: It's not a katsu, but it gives that vibe. I think this is a good thing to pair with the ramen. I think the vibe is different enough from the chashu, where it's worth ordering. Chicken Paiko: it's chicken katsu with a different vibe. The batter has more body and is a different vibe compared to their fried chicken (karaage). Although I think the pork paiko is better, people who prefer chicken can rest easy knowing this is good as well. Fried Gyoza: I don't know what to say. It's a fried dumpling. It's not remarkable enough to be considered amazing, but it wasn't bad either. The good kind of average in general. Fried Chicken: It's a decent fried chicken at a good size. I just hope they can maintain the size, since many establishments have a hard time maintaining chicken quality after a while. Service: You pay first before being seated, and most of the stuff is self-service, so the interaction is really just when ordering and when they drop off the food. Ambiance: Classic ramen shop. Well lit, smells good, and located in an upscale mall.

Our group tired the Tonkotsu Ramen, Miso Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen, and the Nagoya Fried Chicken. Out of everything we tried, the fried chicken tasted the best - we could've ordered a few more servings! It is so flavorful and juicy. The ramen were overall just ok - I had the Tonkotsu Ramen and the flavor of the broth was too bland for me - I added quite a bit of side sauces to add some more flavor. The meat was also very minimal. Overall it was a decent experience, but I probably would go to other restaurants at this mall first before coming back here.
