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. I would like to come back and try the extensive ramen menu, we just weren't in a hot broth mood this time.

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!! I craving it while typing and a watery mouth! My partner and I shared a Miso Ramen and I wish we had something similar where I live!!!

The shishito peppers were wonderful and nicely charred with a great dipping sauce. The seabass may have been the tastiest item, the butter sauce and roasted lemon sauce was exceptional. We finished up with the carrots and bbq ribs, which were crispy on the outside but tender as you bit into the rib meat. Service was stellar as expected for any Michelin rated restaurant.
