She explained their matcha blend, the proper matcha-to-water ratio, and walked me through the preparation--from making the initial paste to the back-and-forth whisking technique. I learned so much just from ordering a drink! Definitely more than just grabbing a matcha--it felt like a mini matcha lesson with my order.

Service was solid, and our waiter gave thoughtful recommendations that helped us decide what to order. We ordered the sashimi sampler and the ninniku crudo to start. My husband got 6 handrolls and I had 4. We both had the otoro handroll for the premium temaki options. The handrolls came out at a really good pace, which we appreciated since it let us enjoy each one fresh. The fish itself was definitely fresh and everything was well prepared. My favorite handroll was the spicy hotate. The otoro temaki was good, but we have had better otoro elsewhere. My husband also got the sake temaki and mentioned that the salmon was a bit chewy. Overall, nothing really stood out as particularly memorable. Our bill ended up being close to $200, and while the food was good, it was not quite mind blowing for that price point. Overall, a solid spot with nice ambiance and fresh fish, just not necessarily a standout for us.

I definitely felt as though I got my money's worth after I finished eating at the restaurant it didn't look like I had touched it lol. It ended up turning into two more meals. So 3 meals for ~$17ish dollars totally worth it. They also have an EXTENSIVE menu of boba drinks and teas. I kid you not, that's what took the most time deciding they all sounded amazing! I ended up getting the Mango with passion fruit and strawberry boba and omg was it good! I appreciated the menu had some traditional tamer choices for me and still had some more adventurous choices (imo) for others. Next time I'm in Chinatown I'll definitely be going back! Oh they also sell cute zipper tote bags for like $4. They're a little on the smaller side but great canvas material and I loved they had a zipper. I'm a sucker for tote bags so naturally I had to get one, they come in a variety of colored accent straps. And it was the perfect size for my leftovers!

The watermelon freeze is basically like a watermelon smoothie - if you like watermelon definitely try this one! The cups are bigger sizes which is nice too. Definitely try them if you're in Chinatown and want a great bubble tea/smoothie etc.!

The staff was top-notch--attentive, welcoming, and made for a great dining experience. The ramen itself was flavorful, and the kimchi was easily the standout of the meal.

It's small but cute inside with a nice sushi bar to watch the chefs. Our service however took a long time throughout the night - we even had to say something because our food took so long. Other than that, the experience and food was stellar. We enjoyed a bottle of red wine that we brought with the meal as well. No corkage fee! We started with the sashimi appetizer, ginger salad, and some rolls. Everything was so fresh and tasty. We also tried the toro nigiri, which melted in our mouths. We also had to add on the spicy miso ramen - it's a huge portion. It was flavorful with delicious noodles, though I wish it wasn't ground meat. Prices were great overall too! Definitely recommend this spot for your sushi and ramen fix.

We ordered their wide noodles spicy crazy noodles and it's filled with so much flavors and so fresh. The volcano shrimp maki is good and you need to try it! The spicy salmon handroll was really fresh and just melts in your mouth and I definitely recommend getting it. They had a wide range of drink options and the mango looked really good. I liked how the presentation they did was so good. We also got their crab rangroon which was crunchy. The spicy tuna was favorite because it wasn't hard at all and you can literally eat the whole thing. Their dessert since 2014 the shibuya honey toast was something you need to try because it's so good. Crunchy and the right flavors with ice cream in the middle. I will definitely be back and already ordered takeout! The ambiance inside is so cute and plenty of seatings. There is also seating outside for the summertime.

My wife and I were out scootering around the city and it became that time to choose a lunch spot…read more My wife has a weakness for ramen and I knew exactly where I wanted to take her. We've done it all, Ramen-San, Hi-Five Ramen, Kyuramen x TBaar, and Akahoshi Ramen. Now Mammoth Poke and Ramen was on our target list. I've heard good things about Mammoth from friends and we're here now. This spot is a bit different from all the other ramen joints as it serves poke as well but I like it. It's different. We get up and order and tell them we want to get the spicy garlic edamame and spicy garlic ramen. If you are a garlic lover like we are, then this is the spot for you! We place our order and sit outside as it was such a beautiful summer day. Service was quick and fast. +1 star for that. We first start out with the spicy garlic edamame and it's got a great chili kick and crunchy garlic flavor. Very good app. Highly recommended. I consider us ramen sluts. We love ramen and will travel near and far for it. Just get it into our bodies. I break my ramen review into four separate parts, first, I start with the broth. If you don't have good broth then you don't have good ramen. It's one of the most important parts to a bowl of yummy ramen. And Mommoth Ramen does not disappoint. The flavor profile is full of deep rich flavor with that spicy garlic. *Ooooffff* It's so good. Bravo! Next up are the noodles and they are good. Bouncy texture with a bit of chewiness. Yummmy. Then comes the protein, the chasu and my wife said it was too tender for her liking. It was basically falling apart picking it up with chopsticks. To her it was like eating fat which she doesn't like but for me, I could drink my chasu. Make it tender and delicious. I loved it and enjoyed it. Last were the toppings like the eggs, green onions, sea-weed and bamboo pieces. All were good. It was a damn good bowl of ramen and like I previously stated if you love garlic then this is the bowl and app for you. I'm glad we tried it and every ramen joint has their own unique spin. Congrats Mammoth Poke and Ramen, you guys deliver a damn good bowl of noodle soup and earned your 5 star Yelp review. Keep up the great job and we'll be back!
