The food was excellent! Everything was packed with flavor, and what really surprised me was how much they were able to do with such an unassuming and casual environment. I tried a slider and a mini chicken sandwich, but there was nothing "mini" about the portions! Both were delicious, flavorful, and very satisfying. If you happen to be in the area and are looking for a quick, casual bite that's a little different from your typical burger or sandwich spot, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. I know I'll be going back to explore more of the menu because there were several other things that caught my eye. Highly recommend checking this place out--you might be surprised by what you find!

I asked if the gyoza were made in house. They are not, and I suspect many of the other side dishes are not either. Sad. In addition to having an odd taste for ramen (it was okay, not bad but certainly not a great broth), the chashu was dry, overcooked, and tough. Not at all pleasant to eat. Hey, the jammy egg was good. And the space is inviting, comfortable, and clean. But this place overall falls far short. We will not be returning.

This was our first dining experience at this restaurant, but their menu lacked detailed descriptions. For instance, their Korean soup did not specify whether it was spicy or not; no clarification was provided. The waiter's sole explanation was that Korean cuisine typically renders soup spicy. This assumption is perplexing for customers like us who are unfamiliar with Korean cuisine. Not all patrons possess knowledge of Korean food or its intricacies, especially for individuals like myself who are older and suffer from acid reflux, and thus cannot tolerate spicy foods. However, the situation was resolved when the waiter modified my order to a different, non-spicy soup. Additionally, the menu prices are listed without dollar signs, only the numerical amount; this formatting is confusing. Ultimately, we were not satisfied with the taste of the ramen soup and my order, as well as their takoyaki. Sorry! The ambiance of their restaurant's interior is somewhat dark and not cozy. read more

My rice was somewhat too moist as well, like how you teach your kids to make rice but they put a lil too much water? Almost congee like. Won't be back to the everett mall for teriyaki unless that other spot opens. I'm only giving it 3 stars because the teriyaki chicken still tasted as it should. I just prefer fresh and made to order.
