First off, the taste levels this place cranks out are quite impressive in seemingly everything they…read moredo from the egg rolls, to the rice and poke bowls, to the gourmet sammiches that they tackle - like fried/buffalo/Nashville chicken, takes on bahn mi and even Cajun and catfish! That said I've now tried three different and creative takes on ramen here and have liked each one more than the last - making it the real star of the show here. First it was the Chicago-style Italian beef with giardineira, then the spicy beef birria style, then my surprise fave, the Mega City bowl with chicken curry, peanuts and 3 potsticker dumplings on top! The service is fast and efficient in a venue (the back half of the VFW) that clearly lacks ambiance. The prices are admittedly a bit steep (except for domestics at the back bar) but you will be blown away by the flavors and you certainly won't walk away hungry. My only other advice....try not to ruin the shirt you have on when you go, in fact you might care to bring or fashion a bib, cuz most of these flavors will leave permanent stains!

The food came out fast and hot, there was ample seating and parking, and really it's all about the food! The ambiance is a little... stale, but the food more than makes up for it! I also didn't love the music they had going, but I still won't lower my five-star rating! Ha!

I had been craving ramen. Okinawa is my go to place. I love their ramen…read more I live in the country out by Springbay, so its a bit of distance to go there. About 40 miles round trip. I ordered 2 ramen bowls to go. They put the wrong broth in the order. One was correct, the other not .By the time I found this out, I was home, they were closed. And didn't answer the phone at 810. Since I had never had a problem with them before, I assumed that I would call them this morning to straighten it out.. Big mistake. I was told that since I couldn't prove this there would be no refund nor any redo. I am terribly disappointed in their customer service. The food is good, but I don't always go by this. If I am going to spend $20 on a bowl of soup, I expect it to be what I ordered. If it isn't. I expect it to be made correctly. Please enjoy the $40 dollars you got from me yesterday. It's the last money you will see from me.
