UPDATE: I received a response from someone who identified themselves as the owner/manager. This person took no accountability for the poor behavior of their staff. I was told (among other dissatisfied responses) that they spoke with the server. Not once did they ask where we were seated, so how could you know where we were seated, to know whom exactly of your staff to have that talk with? Very poor encounter from management, and I see why their employees are no different!!

I love Ramen, so I did some research on TikTok and on Yelp and I came across this place. We went on…read morea Saturday night about 5:30 PM. We ordered the Tonkotsu Miso Ramen, Spicy Negi Ramen (level 4 hot), an order of Gyoza, and an appetizer order of Karaage Chicken. Both of our Ramen bowls were absolutely delicious!! I'm used to eating very authentic Ramen when I lived in San Diego so this was a first for being in this area. It was a great portion size, beautiful presentation and everything tasted so good. I think the egg could've been cooked a little bit less so it would be not so well done so to speak, but it was delicious still. Also, the chicken appetizer was a good, but not as flavorful as some Karaage Chicken I have had. I probably wouldn't order that one again even though it was good, just lacked flavor and was a bit grisly. The service was outstanding. They are very kind and very attentive. The place is very clean. The bathrooms are nicely stocked and very clean as well. The lobby is beautiful and we will definitely be back!

I visited here a few months ago in April and the best part about this restaurant is probably the…read morecustomer service? The ramen tasted great but not impressive or memorable enough for me to drive all the way back to Federal Way. I dined in solo and actually didn't finish the ramen or even remember exactly what I ordered. I'm guessing it's the spicy negi. The broth was spicy and enjoyable but definitely didn't taste any different compared to other ramen places I've been to. I tend to eat slow to savor my food, but I felt like the staff was overattentive and frequently stopped by my table to ask if everything was okay. Gave me the vibe that they needed to keep themselves busy or I was taking up a table. Might be great for other customers but it affected my experience with dining in; I usually finish my meals at restaurants but I felt rushed so I just ended up bringing the ramen home for my son, after the second or third time of them asking me if I wanted a takeout box. I'm still giving 4 stars just because the ramen tasted better than mediocre, less than spectacular. I just have high expectations for ramen and prefer more broth/topping variety (I was raised in Cali with options i dearly miss). Plus, I do like that they added a full egg for the ramen (instead of half an egg, like other restaurants I've been to) and the chasu portions were fair. I haven't tried any other ramen places in Federal Way (if there are any), but I guess if this is one of the better options (according to Yelp), it might be worth a shot to try out?

Extremely Concerning Experience -- Poor Working Conditions and Serious Sanitation Concerns…read more My experience at this establishment was extremely concerning, and I feel that other customers should be aware of what I witnessed. I personally saw a rat on the premises, which immediately raised serious concerns about the restaurant's cleanliness and food safety. I had ordered the fried rice, but after noticing something that looked like rat droppings in my food, I was genuinely scared to eat it. I also overheard employees referring to something as "broccoli" in a way that made me concerned they might have been speaking indirectly about a rodent problem. I heard what I understood to be a comment about a dead rat in the sake, although I cannot independently confirm the details of that conversation. Beyond the sanitation concerns, I was very uncomfortable with how some employees were being treated. I witnessed servers being yelled at in a manner that, in my opinion, was disrespectful and completely uncalled for. One server in particular, Becky, seemed incredibly sweet, but she also appeared overwhelmed and overworked. The restaurant seemed understaffed, and it was upsetting to watch someone who appeared to be trying her best struggle under those conditions. Employees deserve to be treated with respect and given the support they need to do their jobs. I also had concerns about the apparent condition of some employees, as several seemed possibly intoxicated to me. Additionally, I questioned whether one worker serving alcohol was underage, although I could not confirm their age. Overall, this experience left me deeply uncomfortable. Between seeing a rat, being concerned about what appeared to be droppings in my food, witnessing what I felt was disrespectful treatment of staff, and observing other potentially serious issues, I cannot recommend this establishment based on my experience. I hope management takes these concerns seriously, investigates the sanitation issues, ensures employees are treated fairly, and verifies that all alcohol-service requirements are being followed. Customers deserve to feel safe eating their food, and employees deserve a respectful and properly staffed workplace.

The chef didn't have much personality and there wasn't much of a show or interaction, which has always been part of the experience we enjoyed here. The biggest issue was the lobster, which was completely charred and burnt. When I brought it to the manager's attention, I felt like my concern was dismissed. She told me that we had consumed it. I explained that we didn't want to make a complaint in front of a full table and disrupt everyone's evening, which is why I chose to mention it afterward. When I said I planned to write a review, I was told that no money would be taken off--and it wasn't. We have been coming to this restaurant for years, which makes this experience especially disappointing. Unfortunately, it feels like the restaurant has really gone downhill. I hope management takes feedback like this seriously because we used to really enjoy coming here.

She never asked if we needed more water, didn't clear our plates, and never checked to see how our food was. The food also took forever to come out. I do want to mention that a younger male employee came over at one point and asked if everything was okay. My husband said yes because that was genuinely his experience, but I personally did not feel the same way and wasn't happy with the service or overall experience. To make matters worse, within about 15 minutes of leaving the restaurant, I became extremely sick with symptoms that felt like food poisoning. I obviously can't say with certainty what caused it, but the timing was very concerning and made an already disappointing experience much worse. For the amount of money we spent, I expected much better service, attentiveness, and overall quality. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not return.
