    veggie ramen with extra egg
    Shristy A.

    Vegetarian reviewer: Tried this Ramen place while on a vacation. It was a quick sit and dine for us, we liked the ambience, right in downtown beside a funky club. It was quiet and cozy - service was okay, we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The veggie broth was creamy - I guess it had a lot of cashew in it, it tasted okay, didn't taste too sweet. I had to ask and add a tonne of garlic chilli (tip: skip the oil, it isn't needed). They did not give us any chilli powder or ask for spice levels. Also, we added an extra egg in it. I pretty much think it was vegan, not sure. I think it was a decent Ramen for about $24 including tips.

    Top tier ramen! I've tried ramen in the Bay Area and in Boston and this is some of the best. So flavorful and in a cozy environment. Food came out fast and was such a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be returning. The waitress was also super nice.

    Great fast delicious service. Quality ramen. Great eggs and pork broth. Great portion as well.

    Ube cheesecake

    I came with my partner on a weekend afternoon for lunch. We were seated immediately. The interior is quite small, but well decorated. The server was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Takoyaki to share, tonkatsu ramen (I got mine without green onion since I noticed how large the pieces were), and then Ube cheesecake for dessert. The Takoyaki was very good - there were large pieces of octopus inside. The tonkatsu ramen was also quite good - I wish the broth had been a little more flavorful, and that the pork belly slices were a little less overcooked, but I appreciated the large serving of noodles we got and the egg was well cooked. The Ube cheesecake was my favorite dish - it was perfectly sweet especially when eaten with the cream! Overall, we had a great experience. I'll definitely be back for the Ube cheesecake!

    Chicken ramen

    I came back on a Saturday around 830 pm. I got seated right away. I ordered the chicken ramen and some gyoza. There was plenty of staff this time. We got our food quickly and everything came out great. I'm so glad I came back and gave them a second chance. The atmosphere is cozy and nice. If you're looking for ramen, come check them out.

    Chukaramen
    Cassey L.

    Been here a few times alone. The Chukaramen is really good especially considering the weather lately. Very fresh and the vegetables are crisp. So good. The tonkontsu ramen is really good and salty, the eggs were soft and jammy, I only wish we got more pork. The waitstaff are quick and caring even during the busy time. I appreciate their attention and never feel forgotten, tho it is a small space, hard to lose someone in there!

    Yuzu cheesecake
    Meagan M.

    Service was fast and polite. Food was delicious. I ordered chicken karaage, tonkotsu (minus the pickled ginger), and shared the yuzu cheesecake with my friend. My friend ordered the shoyu ramen, which she finished and said is very tasty! The eggs are nicely marinated and flavorful. The tonkotsu is rich in flavor, so I knew I wouldn't finish it, but I took the rest to go. The portions feel pretty good for the quality and price. They were pretty busy, but my friend and I got in just in time before a wait list started. Staff were polite, friendly, and attentive. I've had plenty of ramen from the bay area and this is worth the visit if you're in the area. The yuzu cheesecake was delightful with well-balanced flavors. Parking wise I would say just find a place to park within a block or so rather than trying for the parking spaces in front of the restaurant.

    Paitan chicken Ramon
    Bhaskar H.

    Lovely food , amazing customer service. They customized food as per our need. Great location. We have ate twice and both the times they were amazing

    Chicken Paitan (back) Tonkotsu ramen (front) both ordered to be spicy!
    Max C.

    Amazing ramen for anywhere! All the workers were really kind and attentive! Vibes were cute and cozy. It can be hard to find actually spicy food in Humboldt but they did not disappoint when we ordered our ramen spicy! They even gave us some extra cayenne pepper in case we wanted to add more (and we did but it was already pretty hot). Will definitely be back!

    Spicy Tan Tan Ramen
    Melissa B.

    Really good! I got the spicy tan tan ramen!! And I'll get it again next time I go!! Really good service. Happy to have a ramen spot in eureka! (And to finally have a place open past 10!)

    Shoyu ramen
    Tram D.

    I had Shoyu ramen while my partner had Tonkotsu ramen. They were too salty for us. The ramen noodle of Shoyu is thicker and better than Tonkotsu! It's pricey with small bowl!

    Tonkatsu ramen and karrage.
    Wade C.

    Loved this place! The broth an tonkatsu ramen were excellent as was the karrage. The staff were friendly and the place was quiet despite have a fair number of customers.

    Tonkotsu Ramen with extra egg and extra spicy
    Kimberly M.

    Absolutely Delicious! Tonkotsu ramen with an extra egg and extra spicy. Service was fast and friendly. Will be back! The atmosphere matched with the food and was set up well. Didn't feel super crammed in the restaurant. Highly recommend!

    Everything was delicious, especially the Miso Ramen. The space has been nicely redecorated with a fresh look. Look forward to returning.

    Driving through Northern CA and did not expect such a filling and fun meal…read more This spot is definitely a Chinese, Korean, Japanese fusiony spot that I did not expect to find here. We ordered the Chinese Style Lamb Stew, Cheese Corn, Kung Pao Vegetables, and it came with a side of banchan. Every single dish here was absolutely delicious and piping hot! We ended up ordering a second plate of banchan because it was so good. The daikon radish had the most satisfying crunch and the others- cabbage and bean sprouts were very well pickled too! Cheese corn was sweet and honestly a good pairing with the very soury/ pickled soup. The kung pao vegetables would have definitely fooled me if I wasn't told it was mushroom. The batter holds on the oyster mushrooms just like chicken does. Well seasoned. Service was very impressive - there was a single waitress serving lots of tables. She had amazing recommendations and really seemed like she knew what she was doing. Very kind and attentive the entire time. Would love to return.

    Friends had mentioned this restaurant a few weeks ago…read more We visited this restaurant a few days ago. We ordered several plates. Everything was delicious. This is the best Asian style restaurant in Humboldt county. Great dishes well prepared. They were busy, only two servers but they did a very good job. We even ordered plates to take home, food was that good.

    We went on a Saturday with no reservations (very risky!) and had about a 15 minute wait time, not…read moretoo bad, BUT we did have to sit outside and the wind was crazy! So beware and check the weather before going and dress accordingly. It's nice on sunny days but then you have to be mindful of the UV. I appreciate our waitress getting our drinks and food out to us through the chaos of people being seated outside, then being reseated inside when room opened up, or like one table, just leaving! Their plum sake is very good, smooth and light. I also got a hot tea but that was only hot for a moment out there, the sake definitely did more to keep us warm. Their ramen bowls are now my favorite in downtown, the pork is DELICIOUS, the broth could be a drink on its own and the marinated egg has a perfectly soft yolk; it's a very pretty dish. My favorite sushi is split between the Russian roulette and the ocean queen (I think that's its name).

    I don't normally write reviews but this restaurant failed me in several ways…read more Food: tough, almost inedible calamari. I left with the worst heartburn and likely due to whatever they fried it in. Golden salmon "specialty" roll. Meh. I've had a lot better at the other locally sushi places. Service: horrible. The place was 30 per cent full. It's Humboldt so I don't expect service to be quick. But the attitude of the wait person was abominable. I felt like we were wasting their time. Like they had somewhere else to be. Mind you this was 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. We saw them once again when they slapped down the check. Then they came to get it a few minutes later and we felt hurried out the door. The bus person was seen whisking food and debris off the tables instead of wiping them down. Several tables. The waiter's attitude was hurried, impatient, and not even a "how is your meal". Ambience: it was nice to be out on the deck. Otherwise nothing special. The host podium is crowded with stuff around it. It looks like they are storing things in the entrance. After hearing so much about how nice and it was, I was disappointed. I'd eat somewhere else and ride the elevator up to walk around the non-restaurant part of the rooftop to see the view. Honestly.

    Nice well stocked Asian Market in Eureka,Ca. I needed some…read morespecific Asian ingredients and found this location on line. It's hidden back behind the Sacred Heart church off of Myrtle Ave. The employee was very helpful. I need some ginger and it's the best natural ginger I've ever purchased. It had all the ingredients I needed to make Szechuan Shrimp. I also needed Szechuan peppercorns... which by the way aren't peppery at all. They have a minty/spicy citrus taste. Really brings out the flavor in the dish I made. I highly recommend this place

I asked if she would offer at a discount, the worker there said she would need to ask the boss, I waited while she called the boss lady on the phone (on speaker) where I heard her say "20%"... When she rang me up- she NOT only gave me only 15% off--- but she raised the price to more than what the regular priced peppers were. She over charged me thinking I wouldn't noticed. When I called her out on it- she was like "what do you want me to do" like seriously??? The audacity of this store-- RIP OFF and terrible customer service! Always on the phone, soo fake with their customers. Never again will I support this business. I'd rather go elsewhere than here...
