    Worth my 30 minute drive! You can't find many great Ramen restaurants in this area. However, not only do they provide great Ramen, but their customer service was wonderful. The food was delicious. The staff was amazing asking how our food was and making sure we were happy. On top of that the restaurant is well kept and clean. This will be the only place I go out for Ramen. Definitely advice to try it!

    We got off of the Appalachian Trail and this was such a joyous surprise! Some of the best Ramen and fried rice we've ever had. The fresh Kimchi was THE BEST! Such nice people. Loved it!

    All things delicious. Will absolutely be back. I ordered a…read morewagyu skewer, empress roll, and one other thing I'm blanking on right now. Got to try several friends' ramen broths. They mentioned the kaarage was some of the best they'd had stateside; the salmon tartare was also lovely. It's decorated nicely and servers were accommodating for my friend with dietary restrictions. Hope to visit again soon!

    This is a chain restaurant throughout the DMV, but I'd say that this location has the best…read moredecorations and ambiance than most of the others. The service is a hit or a miss depending on who you get, sometimes great and sometimes a bit slow. But not horrible. The food. So this is known for their ramen. I think that their ramen is solid, not amazing but good. Decent broth flavor and good chew in the noodles, I personally prefer a hotter broth, but it comes out slighter warmer than room temp (not my fav, but still good). The Chashu is usually good most of the time, tender and not too chewy, there was a few times that it was meh, but most of the time it's good! The ramen, 3.5/5 The Izakaya part. The yakitori is lacking. The chicken thigh should be the most tender and flavorful but it was so dry (how can you mess up dark meat?) and lacked depth in flavor. Chicken 1.5/5 The US Wagyu is mediocre. You can tell that it's US cause it's tough. Sometimes it's tender and great and other times it's a bit tough. Steak 3/5 The sushi. Mhm, the sushi is so expensive a bit overpriced doe what you get, and I'm not sure if it's worth it. Their special rolls are ~ $20 range, but the size of the roll is about the same as their "standard rolls" seems not worth that premium price. Usually at most sushi places their special rolls are larger in size and makes it worth paying more for. Even their standard nirgri prices are double than most places. I have gotten a variety of rolls over the years and it's honestly just okay. Good sushi, but small and super overpriced. 3/5

The service is always excellent, this is easily some of the best sushi in Frederick, and they have a couple unique whiskeys for those who enjoy it.

Today we tried Lazy Fish because it was recommended by David's colleague. We got the Pork Belly appetizer, Lazy Rainbow, Lazy Shack, and the Lazy Spaghetti which was on the Specials menu when we went. Pork Belly: Although the pork itself was fatty and tender, and a bigger piece than we expected, although waaaaay too much cabbage and a little too sweet from the pineapple for my taste. Lazy Shack and Lazy Rainbow: LOVED these rolls! We were actually impressed by how fresh the fish was?? And the amount and texture of the rice was on point. Multiple tables next to us got the Lazy Rainbow so it seems like a popular one to get. We also appreciated the real crab that they used (although I may have gotten the smallest piece of shell in my Lazy Shack, but it was so good I didn't even care). Lazy Spaghetti: Basically like a massamun beef curry and spaghetti fusion. On the tad spicy side for me. Was really creamy and the sauce to spaghetti ratio was a little heavy (on the sauce side) that I wish there was more spaghetti to soak it up. Definitely would stick to the sushi here (although I'm a sucker for a sushi + hot dish combo). Would consider coming back to try some of their nigiris next time!

    I know that this review might not seem very fair because I am not talking about the food or…read moreanything about the restaurant directly. But why show up for the food if you can't even get a table!! But I was extremely disappointed with their reservation system. I had put in a request for a reservation more than 24 hrs before the intended time and while yes I never received a "confirmation" and on the email it does say "this is not a confirmation", however, I have never had such a poor reservation system experience with any other restaurant. I had shown up in to the restaurant in the bitter cold and paid for parking only to find that they never confirmed the reservation on their end. SMH. And was an hour wait....EXACTLY why I wanted to make a reservation to avoid all of this. Moral of the story, don't trust their reservation system, if you want a table.

    Overall this restaurant was good! We came for lunch. Service was okay and food was good…read more Appetizers: Tuna Tartare (probably wouldn't order again as the flavor wasn't my favorite and wasn't a fan of the bread it came with) Takoyaki (really good! I wish there were more than 4 pieces) Ramen: Tonkotsu and Spicy Miso Sapporo were both really well done and the flavor was fantastic. The eggs were poached, different from traditional ramen, but really enjoyed it!
