Garlic miso ramen
Olivia M.

Amazing service and ambiance!! Went here for lunch and the ramen was absolutely incredible. Will return!

Chicken Katsu Curry
Kelly N.

Walked in right at opening at 5pm and was seated right away. Service was good and the waitress was knowledgeable about the menu. Appetizer was quick and hot. The portions were good- the ramen didn't require an extra side of noodles, but they were good to have to make the dish go a bit further. Chicken katsu had good flavor and presentation was good. The cutlet was rather fatty though and not exactly a great texture. Overall would definitely go back and try other menu items. Certainly a bright spot for downtown Springdale and NWA in general!

Tonkotsu keto

I haven't posted in a while and Menya Kitakara brought me back to Yelp - this was a phenomenal place and the ramen was off the charts. The Tonkotsu and Sapporo Miso broths were rich, full of flavor. I was caught off guard and spoke with the owner/chef - Tonkotsu broth was cooked at least 16 hours!! If you are a ramen head or want authentic Japanese food, this is the spot. We also learned that this was the same owner as Ramen Nara, this is their take on Hokkaido style on the usual ramens (Ramen Nara had been our favorite spot until now - it's a tie). The chef/owner is passionately dedicated to the art of making ramen and has so much knowledge about the ingredients. He sources his ingredients from Japan, makes his broth and tare from scratch, and produces consistent while exceptional flavors. We are so lucky to have such these two amazing ramen shops here in the Midwest. I'd put these places up against shops in Japan and in CA. Definitely our cup of tea. Sorry for the pic - was too busy eating but needed something for the post.

#4 Tonkotsu (Shoyu) Ramen   Absolutely rich and delicious broth!

I went back for the second time and tried the Tonkotsu (Shoyu) Ramen. Wow! The broth is rich, and I added a small spoon of chili oil. So dang good! I wish I lived closer, so I could eat here often.

Soju

Great service from start to finish on a cold and wet Friday night. The spicy chicken app was just enough heat and dip was delicious. The broth and meat was the star for my ramen bowl. Hubby had one of the weekend rice bowl specials. He loved it. I tried Soju. The Korean malt rice alcohol beverage went well with the dinner. The vibe was mellow and laid back.

Amazing as expected. Great service and great food. Our table had a variety of dishes including ramen, gyoza, curry, etc. everything delicious.

#9 special
Ellen W.

Such a cool interior. The music in the background was nice too! The food was exceptionally delicious. It arrived quickly and the flavor profiles were just amazing. The chef clearly pays attention to detail, and he is so kind. We got a chance to meet him after. We are going to be back again and again. The prices are quite reasonable. Additionally, I love that they have a gluten free menu! And are very good about accommodating those with celiac disease. Even more reason to love this place. Thanks for the great experience and great food!

Tonkotsu Ramen
Mark R.

We went here for a little ramen fix before my brother-in-laws wedding this weekend. Honestly one of the best ramen places I've ever had. So much flavor in every dish. The gyoza, ika geso karaage, and croquettes were so good. The architecture inside is cool too. The wooden panels make it feel open but also provide plenty of privacy. The service was top notch too. Very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place.

Great food and atmosphere. If they miss anything in your ramen the wait staff gets it to you…read morequickly. Good service. I miss the black gluten free noodles

I had reallyyy high hopes for this business. I have seen it so many times on tik tok and being…read morelocal was very excited to give it a try. With the pictures I've seen it looked like a higher end ramen place..however I was not met with that. As soon as we walked in the business was congested in the awkward area when you first arrive of people trying to figure out what they want and also having to order on kiosk. There also was NO greeting whatsoever and no instructions on how the process went. Anywho.. we order and then go to sit down in one of the booths however those were not available. Understandable but without the booths being available you then are left with three awkward seating arrangements. 1) next to the booth area is a bar that was then congested with boxes and employees personal items 2) a very long table where anyone can sit so if you are looking for a private dinner that does not allow in that space 3) next to the window there is a bar area still a long table but more private than the other areas. We ended up finally sitting in the 3rd option but the table was both sticky and dirty (the floors were also sticky.) The person who brought our food was friendly but we only had one interaction the entire time we were there. At the end my husband and I also did not enjoy the dishes that we received and ended up leaving. We might give it a try on another day but it is highly doubtful with the experience we had. The looks of the place are great but that's about it.
