The coy fish tank and sit up bar with all the little details make you feel like you're in a ramen bar in Japan. I ordered the mocha boba tea and really enjoyed it along side my pork bahn mi, the grilled pork did really well with the crisp pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and toasty French bread. Wasn't a huge fan of the spring roll, they were served Luke warm, I like the vermincili noodles cold.

Well, life in Marion just got a whole lot better! We had dinner at Sakura a couple of weeks ago and have since returned two more times. I had the pho which is a traditional Vietnamese soup. The broth was excellent and the version I got had brisket and eye of round, it was delicious! My wife got the vermicelli and said it was authentic. We also had egg rolls which were also delicious! We haven't tried the Ramen but will eventually get around to it I'm sure. I highly recommend Sakura as the staff is friendly and the food is delicious!

Extremely well done. I showed up at the end of the day looking for some food and a beer, and I was…read morevery happy with the overall experience. The space was nicely decorated. The staff were extremely helpful. I mentioned I was looking for vegetarian options, and the bar tender thoughtfully guided me through the various options on both the tapas and ramen menus. That made for a great experience. In terms of the food, I opted for the miso eggplant and the garlic butter broccoli. Both were excellent. The miso eggplant is served as well cooked Japanese eggplant with a light tempura treatment and somewhat sweet miso glaze. Not too heavy, but still delicious and nicely textured. The broccoli was perfectly cooked with lots of flavor. It made for a nice pairing. In terms of beer, they had a few different local beers on tap. I went for a local pale ale. Great. In any case, this place is highly recommended. I suspect their vegetarian ramen would probably be pretty good, but that was a little heavier than what I was looking for. It was nice to have a few other vegetable forward options available as a backup.

The entire bowl was phenomenal & I wished we had gone back there, the boiled egg they gave was also roasted and the bamboo shoots were fresh, the meat so tender and juicy, and the broth is very tasty!!

The shumai and dumplings are alright, too. Be sure to get additions for the ramen, cause those eggs are so good, so's the rest.

We saw that they were booked for the entire weekend, so we figured we'd try our luck the next night around 5 PM. Luckily, we were able to get seated right away outside! We opted for the chef's menu, which includes several pre-planned courses and is a great way to try a variety of things. There was definitely A LOT of mushroom throughout the tasting, which was a little tough for me since I don't love mushrooms. I'll eat a little, but it was surprising how frequently they were incorporated into the courses. That said, there were some definite standouts. My favorites were the wagyu appetizer, which they said is exclusive to the tasting menu, all of the raw dishes, and the pastrami brisket. And honorable mention to the desserts -- they were seriously to die for! I just wish I had more room to eat more. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, and it was such a lovely evening sitting outside in the warm weather next to the aesthetic fireplace. The pacing of the tasting menu was a little odd at times, but it ultimately worked. Best bite of the night though was the pastrami brisket with the pickled kimchi, sesame bbq sauce, pickle, a little salt, and a little wasabi...will be dreaming of this!! I definitely want to come back and try more from the regular menu. There were a lot of things that sounded amazing, and I think I'd enjoy being able to pick and choose the dishes myself!

Both the drinks and food were beyond exceptional. I couldn't tell you my favorite dish because everything was just so good. Even though the portions were small, by the time we left, we were absolutely stuffed. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to celebrate something special, or want a great experience. I'm definitely going to tell friends and family they should visit as well.

Tons of appetizers too. LOVED their menu! I ordered the Spicy Tantanmen Ramen, and a Pork Bao Bun. My husband ordered Chicken Katsu (appetizer only), Shrimp Tempura, and a bowl of white rice. We also shared Edamame. Well, all I can say is WOW. Everything....I mean EVERYTHING was absolutely delish!! Actually, I think I got the wrong ramen... Instead of Tantanmen, I got the other Spicy Ramen (I think?)...and normally, I'd be upset about this, but my ramen was still SO good, I decided to let it go. The Bao Bun was good too! I also sampled my husband's dishes...and both Katsu and Shrimp Tempura batters were perfect...So incredibly crispy and fresh!! So glad we chose to check out this place. A-Plus all the way!

I came from out of town (California) so I already had some low expectations but man I was still…read moredisappointed. First I asked what kind of tuna they used for the sashimi but none of them knew?? So I ordered the tuna tartar and Kobe beef as appetizers and I did not expect the chips be so thick! Like you can barely fit the tuna on there. It's supposed to be light and complementary to the tuna and for the tuna, they basically prepared it like poke? Kobe beef is supposed to taste light but they overcooked it. For the ramen I got the garlic tonkotsu and it barely has any flavor. I had low expectations because usually tonkotsu ramen uses braised pork but for this they used a slice of grilled pork instead. If you ever had any decent ramen from other ramen restaurants then you will definitely be disappointed eating here. Will give it two stars because the staff is nice.
