    First time coming here and so glad we did. Service was excellent. Food was fresh, hot and delicious. We ordered the chicken tempura roll, shrimp tempura, rock shrimp, chicken hibachi, clear soup, teriyaki chicken, snow mountain roll, house salad, harumaki rolls, chicken gyoza and udon noodles with chicken, shrimp and steak. Everything was so good and cooked perfectly. It was busy but plenty of clean seating inside. Nothing was greasy. Parking can be hard due to small lot. Owners were super nice and very helpful. Dipping sauces some dishes came with were very tasty. They are closed the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month. Definitely recommended!

    Spicy tuna and jax roll I think?

    Food was delicious. The hibachi was seasoned especially well. The sushi was also very good. Everything pictured for $55 for a birthday dinner with a friend but probably will stick to Only one or two items for lunch.

    My boss treated us for my birthday. I also ordered clear soup, crab ragoons and dumplings. I was very impressed by the steak. It was so juicy and tender. I'm currently on the office couch letting it settle. I decided I was going to stuff my face too much. It was worth it though. The only thing I could ask for improvement on is more mushrooms v and onions in the soup.

    Bendoya is a nice little restaurant located off of University near Memorial Hospital. They serve reasonably priced Japanese / Chinese food along with specialty items such as boba, a rare find for this restaurant as I've mentally categorized it as a takee outee. However they do have plenty of chairs and tables as well as booths if you prefer to dine in. The restaurant itself is very clean. I love all of the labeled food picture decor on the windows and walls because it makes decision making so much easier when you have no idea what you're in the mood for. I was greeted by friendly faces. I always appreciate friendliness (who doesn't). I'm very big on customer service and they definitely get 5 stars for that. I ordered a Bento box hibachi steak but instead got the lunch special hibachi steak. Luckily, I wasn't very hungry so I'm a little grateful they got my order wrong, otherwise it may have been too much food for me. The steak is pretty good. It doesn't have that wow factor but the texture was great and it was quite juicy. Everything is made in front of you! I had carrots and broccoli on the side, seemed like they were just steamed fresh. I'm a huge carrot snoot because I feel like everyone should have Wasabi's sweet carrots. The carrots I had were quite boring and healthy lol. Which means no salt or seasoning whatsoever. No complaints though, I always have shrimp sauce on the side to drench my food in. I do love my shrimp sauce. I think this place has a lot of potential. I love the layout and their food is good. I highly recommend if you are craving take out and want something substantially better than reheated fried rice and MSG-filled lo mein. This place definitely doesn't compare to Japanese steak houses but I find that they do a nice job of providing quick, high quality food.

    Located at the old Baldinos subs spot - I really miss those subs. I think the quality was just too much to keep up with and they just couldn't reach that level of traffic needed to turn a profit. If you never ate there, trust me when I say you missed out. Something else moved in after Baldinos but I never had a chance to try those subs. Next thing you know, it's now Bendoya. I read good things about the ramen so that's what I came to try. I opted for the roast pork soy ramen and it was very good. One of the standard items included bok choy which sometimes costs extra at other joints so that's definitely cool. Flavor profile was good, protein size was ample, and egg was cooked perfectly. It's counter service with an open kitchen so you can pretty much see what's going on behind the scenes. I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

    I had a couple people recommend this place and I finally tried it for lunch last week and was hooked went back this past weekend and ordered takeout for the family. Very tasty and food was very fresh.

    This place is awesome. They have great food every time I go. Their hibachi steak is super yummy and their chicken is almost as good but awesome none the less. They don't have much seating or parking but it's ok. I just get mine to go. Oh they even have bento boxes with sushi in it and hibachi steak! I recommend this as a must try!

    Wish this place was closer to me!!! Great place to grab very good, quick, to go hibachi. Price is great especially for the portion. Bought food several times from here otw to a friends house and have never been disappointed. If you call in an order it's made quick and correct. If I had any complaint, it would be I tried the tuna roll and was unimpressed.I'm so sorry this photo is terrible and doesn't do it any justice but I will update next time with a better one.

    Hole in the wall with great hibachi. I highly recommend when you are craving some teriyaki chicken and fried rice with mixed vegetables. Quick service. Wonderful lunch special everyday!

    Good food and great value (especially the lunch special). I'd recommend the shrimp and chicken hibachi lunch special or bento box.

    I just had a late lunch in MODU Ramen yesterday and I was thoroughly impressed…read more The first thing was the Service... the waitress was welcoming and attentive throughout the meal. She was patient as my wife and I and a few friends reviewed the large menu with her, and followed up throughout our meal. The second was the food We started with sharing an appetizer of garlic soy fried chicken wings and dumplings...very tasty Then I had Tonkotsu Ramen and my wife had tempura udon... both were large servings, with home made noodles and a favorable pork broth with fresh vegetables. Mine had a 3 pieces of a thick cut pork and egg in the broth what was really surprising was when the dessert came... I think it was called mango Bing Soo... What it is, is a huge bowl of shaved ice with Mango and cream. It was delicious... and perfect for after the main dish we ordered... and I would go there just to get that dessert alone.... I don't normally take my time to recommend a place but I recommend this one as a find .. highly

    Honestly the food was really good. And I feel like this has been the best ramen I've had in…read moreJacksonville. The chicken karaage was probably my favorite of the night. It was super crispy, but the meat was still so juicy. And the sweet and creamy sauces just finished the perfect bite. The ramens were pretty solid too. The matcha broth was super creamy and light. And the tonkotsu was so flavorful, with really tender chashu and a perfectly soft boiled egg. Plus the noodles were a really good texture. The restaurant itself is really cute too. They also have a convenience store type of ramen station in the front, which I really want to try. As well as a little arcade game that you can play in the front while you wait to be seated. However, I was really not a fan of the service. It's nothing really against the servers because they were super nice, but they just seemed so frazzled. We arrived around an hour before closing, but it took forever for us to be seated, despite seeing a few empty tables around. By the time we were seated, we were told kitchen would be closing in two minutes, so we had to hurry and put in our orders. All of that was fine and I didn't mind. But what I did mind was that our waitress checked our order twice when we first have it. And she came back to our table within the next five minutes to check our orders again for a third time to make sure she had down what we wanted. I wanted the matcha ramen and was most looking forward to having some chashu and egg. So she confirmed my order three times that I wanted matcha ramen. But when it came out, she gave me the vegetable bowl. I knew the kitchen had closed at that point, so I just ate it, but I was really disappointed. (I did get to try a bite of my friends egg and chashu, which also didn't really help because it was so good and made me wish mine came with those even more.) When we were finished eating, it took forever for the checks to come out. This I also didn't mind that much, because the servers, again, looked really frazzled trying to close up. But at this point we had waited until well after their closing time, so part of me was hoping they could just close us out first and then finish closing down the place. I think we waited at least half an hour from when we first asked for the check (at which point we had already been waiting a while) to when we finally got our cards back. I did see they charged me for the vegetable version of the matcha ramen so it was whatever, but then also I was confused - so it wasn't a mix up in the kitchen, she rang it up as the vegetable one from the beginning! Even though I never mentioned it and she never said vegetable when confirming my order. It was a dollar less to get tofu instead of an egg and chashu which doesn't seem worth it. Writing this all out, I'm sorry to rant, because the food really was good. And looking at other reviews, it looks like the service is usually pretty good. But again, it was just disappointing. That being said, I am really hoping it was a one off thing because I would go again and try some other menu items too.

    Karai Ramen Bistro is a full on experience and one of the best restaurants!…read more The restaurant is dark, intimate, and tucked away in a way that makes you feel like you've discovered a hidden gem. The vibe is fantastic and the staff matches it perfectly, friendly, warm, and attentive. We went twice in the late afternoon and never waited for a table, which is a huge bonus for a spot this good. The small plates alone are worth the visit. The Katsu Sando Sliders feature crispy chicken katsu on soft potato bread with fresh cabbage, katsu sauce, Japanese mayo, red onion, and sweet pickle peppers, every element working in perfect harmony. The Potato Korokke was equally incredible, perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with katsu fried potato and vegetables paired with katsu sauce and Japanese mayo. The Gyoza were perfectly crispy Japanese fried chicken dumplings, and the Harumaki was a great addition too. Everything fried here is done with real skill, the crunch is always there and never overdone. If you love spice, the KakuKara Ramen is an absolute must. A rich, creamy sesame broth made from chicken and pork stock with Japanese hot sauce and red miso, it is spicy, deeply flavorful, and completely addictive. Loaded with pork belly kakuni, homemade pickled peppers, cabbage, cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds on those perfect curly noodles, it is everything you hope ramen will be. If you prefer something milder, the Katsu Shio Ramen is a beautiful classic, a delicate Japanese sea salt and dashi seasoned chicken broth with shiitake mushrooms, katsu chicken, red and green onions, and the most wonderful onsen tamago custard egg that takes the whole bowl to another level!

    This restaurant haunts my dreams, in the best possible way. My only wish is that I could give them…read more10 gold stars up in big lights!!! This is by far the best ramen I've ever eaten! The ramen is masterfully concocted by a genius, it's absolutely perfect! Everything we've tried is delicious from the katsu curry to fried octopus, it's all fantastic. I ordered the Akai katsu ramen and modified it by adding the suggested pork belly and spicy beef and was blown away at the balance of spice and flavor and I honestly have no idea what they do to the jammy egg in the ramen but it's crazy creamy and flavorful, like no egg I've ever eaten, the dish is magical. I ordered online and it was all packaged so nice and secure, fyi togo is 2 doors down. It's seriously the only restaurant I want to go anymore it's so amazing! And they're so nice and happy when I go and it's a neat little vibe. I highly recommend this amazing restaurant
