I saw they had boils, which I love, but with a long drive home I decided to stick with the wings appetizer and combo rice. Just the right amount of spice on both. The combo rice had a good amount of meat and large shrimp. I ordered sweet tea to drink and it tasted, thick, best way I can describe it. Almost like a milk tea lol not bad but not what i was expecting. Still good. My server was very attentive and talked me through the whole menu. She checked on me often. Very friendly. I think there's a couple more of these around town and I am sure I'll be back.

Firstly, we had trouble getting an uber at first and when I called the staff was very friendly and were able to hold the table a little longer which I appreciated. The menu is a mix of Asian Fusion small plates and I would have loved to have had more of a sampling of the menu but it wasn't that large of a party. The cocktails were not too sweet and perfectly balanced. The Fist of Fury was so refreshing and the Yuzu margarita was delightful! The plates come when they are ready and I have to say the food came really quick! All of it was fantastic! Surprisingly the shredded vegetable salad was amazing and one of my favorite dishes! The tamarind glaze on the Chicken Karaage was not overpowering and so tasty. The service was amazing and the vibes of the restaurant were a lot of fun. The bathrooms were down the stairs and there was a little bar off to the side. Would definitely go back! I couldn't stop talking about it the next day to anyone that would listen.

I got ginger noodles and added chicken and I wasn't crazy about them...they were ok. Someone got the spam fried rice and I tried that and it was fantastic. Many of their plates are shareable.

Everyone there was kind and amazing! I'm not sure what Japanese restaurants look like in Japan, but I imagined they look like this. They had Pokemon playing on tv. The menu was ample and very descriptive. On to the food! We started off with the Spam Masubi, appetizer for two, spicy tuna onigiri. The spicy tuna Onigiri was sooooo good! Wish we had more of it. We all shared communal style at the table, and everyone agreed it was by far the fav! The app for two wasn't too shabby either. It had shrimp tempura, crab Rangoon, gyoza, mozzarella sticks, and eggrolls. They were all either great to good. The tempura could have used a bit more time in the fryer, and it lacks some flavor. Also, mozzarella sticks make no sense, but they were ok. The consensus least fav was the spam musubi. Where the musubi at L&L Hawaiian was so delicious, this fell flat. We couldn't quite put our finger on it, but here it didn't make sense. None of us liked it. Even the spam felt off. We had the fiery roll, hoki shrimp bowl, and yakitori chicken bento. The sushi was ok. A bit too much cream cheese. The yakitori chicken was great. I will get to our one problem. The food was good to great, except the musubi. The portions are a bit on the smaller side for price. Not to terrible, we were still left wanting more. We also had dessert. We like matcha. We are weird, since most people we know aren't fans. We had the tiramisu matcha, matcha cheesecake soufflé, and strawberry mochi. They were all great. The fav was the mochi followed by the tiramisu. The soufflé was good, just some parts were a little dry. Oh and I almost forgot, they bring you fried wonton strips with sauce, like restaurants bring you chips and salsa. What a great touch, and they are addictive! The sauces didn't much. We ended up asking for chili oil instead. The miso soup was a surprisingly great soup!!!

We sat at the bar this time so we could see the chefs in action. It was cool hearing them coordinate orders and cooking. The music was light but nice. We ordered a tonkotsu ramen with grilled bokchoy add on and a tantanmen ramen with pork belly add on. For drinks, a butterfly bramble and shishito margarita (with accompanying waters, of course). Order number 10 was yonko luffy! The drinks came out first. I love butterfly pea drinks in general and this was no exception. The lime kept it refreshing with a mellow bite of alcohol. The shishito margarita had just enough spice to complement the tequila without being overpowering. Finally, the ramen! My wife enjoyed her tonkotsu ramen, but had a touch too much green onion. For the tantanmen, I had that first sip of broth (segregated from the pork by the toppings) and instantly thought "umami." That's always a bit hard to classify for me, but that broth really did it for me. I was hesitant to get the spicy ground pork because it's harder to scoop up, but that first sip made it worth it. And as the meal progressed, the spiciness of the pork seeped into the broth deliciously. The crunch of the bok choy was one of the reasons I got this dish; so good! The added pork belly was nicely charred and the fat melted in your mouth. I demoooolished that ramen. Perfectly full, not too much. Cheers!

The space is clean, nicely decorated, and has a calm, welcoming atmosphere. We held the door open for a girl right behind us, who came across as a bit rude. I didn't think much of it until she ended up being the one taking our order. Her tone and demeanor felt off-putting, almost as if we were inconveniencing her. While ordering, she also corrected me while I was explaining menu items to my daughter, which felt unnecessary. Food-wise: * I ordered the Katsu Sando. They don't offer regular mayo... only spicy... so keep that in mind. It wasn't overly spicy and was actually really delicious. * My daughter ordered the Shoyu Ramen. It was good, but not something we'd order again. * We also ordered steamed edamame, which I always enjoy. I wouldn't give this place five stars due to the service, but I would come back, because they weren't all rude; likely with my other daughter, to try some of the other dishes that caught our eye. Hopefully next time we're made to feel a bit more welcome... unless kids aren't welcome and I missed that memo
