    Wish tree
    Helen N.

    I came on a weekday night about an hour before closing and got seated right away. Sat in one of the enclosed booths which was nice for privacy but really echoey, so not great for conversation. The decor was cute, especially the big lantern and wish tree. The place was still pretty busy and had an open kitchen with counter seating. Prices were on the higher side, so I went with the combo meal for two, which came with two ramens (Sapporo Miso and Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu), two drinks (Amazing Lemonade and Thai Iced Tea), and two desserts (Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly and Matcha Pudding with Red Bean) and popcorn chicken. The Amazing Lemonade had cucumber juice in it. Refreshing and not too strong of a cucumber flavor. The Thai Tea was sweet, creamy, and had a nice tea aroma. The popcorn chicken was juicy and flavorful, though not super crunchy. Good portion size. The tonkotsu ramen was bland and watery. It was missing that rich, creamy broth you'd expect, even adding the chili didn't make it better. The miso ramen was much better: spicy, flavorful, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. The chashu pork was fatty but had good flavor, and the sweet corn was a nice touch. Portions were huge. The matcha pudding was light and not too sweet, though the milk on top didn't add much. The cherry blossom jelly looked pretty but tasted a little artificial. Also noticed a few flies around, which was annoying. I tried to go on opening night last week around dinner time but no one answered the phone and it looked closed from outside.

    Vegetable Ramen

    This is a fairly new Ramen restaurant in downtown Gainesville. I visited on a Monday night so not crowded, was seated quickly. The inside decor is very nice with these cute cubicles for seating along with tables in general area. The waiter was very nice and patient as we reviewed the menu, I had the vegetable ramen which came out piping hot. Very filling and tasty, next time I will try some appetizers and I am sure some of my ramen will end up as a take out. Give them a try if you are downtown next to the Hyatt Place hotel.

    The restaurant was really really cute. I love the booths that are shaped like honeycombs especially. The servers were also really great and attentive, making it a pleasant experience. They provided recommendations on our appetizer. The gyoza were nothing special. They tasted good, but were underwhelming. The ramen was also tasty and it was a big bowl which is great. I definitely was full at the end. I don't think the ramen was worth the price as it was a little expensive, but every once in a while it'd be good. Adding the sauerkraut seasoning to it helped with the flavoring and making it a little more special.

    This new addition to downtown Gainesville has been all over social media for its cute decor and cubby seating. We arrived around 5:30 so it wasn't too busy to get in one of the cute seating options. When we, a party of three, arrived all the four people spots (3) were taken. However there were 2 empty 5 spot tables and several cute table booths behind them. We asked if we could sit in one of them and were told no, only for 5 people. There was no one else waiting or even coming in. We were sat at a plain table and ate in under 30-45 minutes. How many people came in during that time, one group of four that was seated in a four spot that opened up. Restaurants in Gainesville are a dime a dozen. Restaurants are about hospitality and unfortunately, they failed on this aspect. We could have eaten and had the experience we wanted with no extra cost to them. The host is the first experience of the restaurant and unfortunately this one soured the visit. The rest of the staff was friendly and attentive. Our ramen was standard.

    Heard this nationwide ramen chain is open in GNV and decided to check it out. I actually tried this franchise restaurant back in Brooklyn and was excited to give it another try elsewhere to see if they have the same consistency. Inside was very nice and clean and tables were spaciously apart. Tried their Tokyo shoyu ramen and calamari (called something different on the menu, essentially friend squid). I say this restaurant is a good edition to GNV food scene and recommend checking it out!

    Glad I waited to try this spot out because wow! My mom and I went to see a play on Monday night at the Hipp wanted to get dinner before. We were craving ramen and got straight to the point with our order. I ordered the #9 chicken ramen. Inside the restaurant is very pretty and has very nice seating. Aesthetically this place stands out in Gainesville. Since they was no one there, our food came out pretty quick. The ramen was super fresh and the broth was so flavorful. I could not get enough of it. There's plentiful veggies in the ramen that were fresh and good. I loved the corn alot. The chicken was good but I was there was more of it in the chicken ramen. I asked for chili oil which was an additional $1.50. Other than that, I would come back earlier in the week when it's pretty dead so I can get one of those cubicle booths. Also, I would like to try the boba tea as well based on the other reviews.

    Ying Yang Bowl ; Matcha Latte
    Raegina S.

    My group went there midweek, around the afternoon for a late lunch so parking was easy and there was no wait time. The ambiance at that time was very quiet as there was no background music playing at the restaurant. Upon coming here, the decor was unique. If you want privacy, you can get seated at one of the many booths around the restaurant. They also have seats in the middle designed like Matcha Whisks, and in other parts, there are seats designed like Honeycombs, which I thought was adorable. You can take very picturesque shots at this restaurant and they even have a shrine by the bathroom that you can pose in front of. The bathroom wasn't the best, which is very on-brand with downtown Gainesville. The service was great, and the waiter we had was prompt, quick, and detail-oriented. Since they recently opened, there were a couple of items on the menu that were not yet available. They have a boba branch attached to the restaurant in which you can order additional drinks from the comfort of your own seat. We ordered the ika-geso and the takoyaki for the appetizers and the proportions were great for the price -- Same goes with their entrées. They offer a mix of different combo meals, which is definitely worth checking out. I got the ying yang bowl, which allowed me to taste both a milder ramen alongside a spicier mix. I was able to taste the omurice with the demi glace as well. They cut open the egg in front of you and pour the sauce on top! For dessert, I got to try all three desserts (did not get a picture of the tiramisu!). I like how the pudding wasn't too sweet! The matcha tiramisu tastes like any other matcha tiramisus I've had in other restaurants. The sakura jelly might not be for everyone (as it has flower petals in the jelly), but I like being able to control the sweetness level. All in all, the experience was just good. Glad to have a new ramen place downtown.

    Pork bao buns
    Melissa F.

    This place is very cool. We sat in a honeycomb booth area. They do not have the full menu yet, so it was a bummer that the options were limited but they did just open. We shared the firecracker chicken appetizer and pork bao buns. I wouldn't order the chicken appetizer again--it was just ok. The ramen was delicious, served hot and the service was very attentive and friendly. I am assuming they don't have their liquor license yet because when I asked for a drink menu the server said they don't have one yet. All in all I think this place has potential and I will return in a few months when hopefully their menu is fully available and a drink menu is established!

    Katsuoboshi Pork Ramen
    Caroline H.

    The atmosphere is really trendy and very busy. Multiple staff helping out and checking on the table, refilling water, etc. The bathroom needs to be labeled-- there was a big shrine thing next to it with a bell, but I didn't see a sign for the restroom. The food was pretty good! I got the white garlic Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu and my brother got the Katsuoboshi Pork Ramen. The Tonkatsu Shoyu was slightly creamy, very comforting without spice. I wish the entire egg was given instead of just one half, but it was perfectly jammy. The corn is also canned, if you care about that sort of thing. The pork ramen had a slight heat to it but was still good. My mother got the popcorn chicken, which was almost like a breaded/fried and not sauced bourbon chicken. The flavor of that was nice, the sauce that came with it was pleasantly zesty, but the chicken was a little dry. Not crunchy. I definitely will come back here in the future as I would be excited to try the omurice and black garlic tonkotsu. I wish they had Gyudon at this location, but it just means I have to visit another!

    Everyone's Food
    Mason E.

    Wow, the food here is actually amazing. This is one of the best ramen I have had, along with their popcorn chicken being delicious as well. I was having such a good time drinking the broth too, truly a delicious experience. I also really enjoyed the decorations around the room. I was sat in some sort of fence with my friends which felt open but still private. I just thought the interior was generally creative and really brings out the idea of you being in a Japanese establishment. I loved the ambiance almost as much as the food. The service was also quick, except at the end when our server seemed to have disappeared. I think he may have clocked out for the night, but someone else quickly took over his role.

    My review is for TBAAR which is part of Kyuramen. Ordered the Fresh Passion Fruit tea and added Mango Popping Boba Tea really delicious. Tip: Order online or place your order on the tablet since no one came out.

Consider your drinks refilled! When it comes to food, understand that the sushi chef takes his time to craft art on your plate. Like seriously, look at the images I share, it's a masterpiece isn't it? So do expect a bit of a wait time but don't you worry, the fish are fresh! So order an appetizer why don't you, to keep ya tummy occupied whilst you wait. My partner and I started off with the seaweed salad and edamame. The edmame is heavy with the garlic, so do keep in mind that your breath will smell like jarlic ok? You have been warned. You could also make the edmame spicy, but that's an extra charge! The seaweed salad? It has a bit of twang to it, so it's lightly sour. No overpowering though like the ones you'd have at a grocery store. Now the star of the dinner my bae and I had... The spicy yellowtail was not that spicy for me, by partner though? He had to take his break hahaha. He got baby taste buds. It is fresh, and for you texture girlies, it is mushy. So, yeah, you may want to opt out on that if you are not a fan of cold mushy food. The big Mac roll? It was so good. All the flavors combined and dances on your tongue. In a good way though loves. In a good way. This one is not so mushy as the spicy yellowtail, you can tast the blend of different textures of the sushi. And they complete one another. The king lobster roll!

My hibachi came out hot and smelled amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce mixed into the rice was really good. I do wish they gave just a little extra sauce for the rice. The rice itself was a bit stiff, but the sauce helped a lot. We also came about an hour before closing, so we were not too bothered by that. Our waitress was good, and her coworker stepped in to help when she was busy, which we appreciated. I also liked that you can see the sushi chefs working right there, and my husband really enjoyed his roll. The restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms, which always matters.
