The ramen I got was amazing. The broth was flavorful and it had a good amount of meat. The vibe was good, but I'm not much of an anime person. It has lots of posters and signs from Japanese culture. But it was clean and nice! I'd for sure go here again.

Attached are pictures of how the place is decorated SERVICE: I wonder if who was serving me was the owner. She was amazing! Quick and simple. There is a slight language barrier but I just wanted the food so it was nice. FOOD: Tbh some of the BEST ramen in nova. I pretty much like Jinya for their creamy broth but it IS a bit pricy. I got their "Kimen Ramen" rated number 1 and added spicy chili oil to my liking as well as soy sauce. The broth had depth to it and it was just honestly so good. I'm trying to eat healthy so I don't think I'll have carbs for a long time but I am SOOOO happy to say this was my last hoorah and it was worth it!

I ordered the tornado omurice, and it was alright. It's just a bit too bland for my taste. It honestly feels like it's on the menu more for how pretty it looks in photos than for the actual flavor. The tteokbokki, on the other hand, was pretty spicy, but I couldn't stop eating it. So the food overall is kind of hit or miss. What I really don't like about this place is the service. It's been slow every time I've gone. It takes a long time to even get a waiter's attention and then the food comes out like 20+ minutes later. They only came to get my order and after getting my food, it takes forever to find someone to get the check. Honestly, I feel like I would have to clear my whole evening if everytime I try to eat here.

Cheese donkatsu - nice thin batter, light and crispy not oily at all. The cheese could've been warmer when brought out. Tteok bukki - on the sweeter side but gimmari was so crispy and good really well seasoned on the inside. Can't complain about the mandu and tteok either. Service was exceptional and server was extremely attentive, never had to ask for a refill or take a long time to get their attention for something. Overall great food and experience even tho we went in 10 minutes before kitchen closes. (Kitchen closes around 8:30ish 8:40ish while the store closes at 9)

I highly recommend this place.

To make matters worse, staff members were gossiping about us in front of other customers, which was very disrespectful and uncomfortable. Although tipping is optional, we still left a generous tip.

Really only 2 people were in charge for busing ,serving and managing all floor space. But everyone was happy and everything went smooth! I had Yum Woon Sen salad with glass noodles,seafood and vegetables. Addictive sauce!!! I asked for milder spiciness and this was perfect. We also got All for 4 special rolls plate for 60 dollars ,which was nice. My only complaint was that in all rolls was minimal amount of raw fish. I think if you offer like tasting plate with your special rolls it would be better to showcase variety,instead they were kind of similar with shrimp tempura and some toppings. They all were good though. This place is really far away from me,but I recommend it to everyone in the area. Support this beautiful people!!

The sushi was actually pretty affordable and decent in size--so refreshing to see since most places charge $18 & up for specialty roles. If that wasn't the icing on the cake, the service was just above & beyond... waitress constantly checked up on us and even struck a lil convo. Witnessing her water the plants from the distance we could really tell she cared about the restaurant (could be the owner tbh).

Service, young women with amazing smiles make my dinner so enjoyable. Finally food, The first impression was pretty good, but food wasn't their strong point. I've been visiting the Nova area to find a good Japanese restaurant, but this one is lower than average to be honest. Sushi rice was undercooked and hard, which kills good quality sushi. In my opinion, this is the most crucial aspect for Japanese restaurants. The arrangement was okay, but they knew how to prepare the fish, but the quality was not good. We all experience inflation and shrinkage, but you should choose quality seafood. For about $30 per dish and fish, I'd rather go to a sushi buffet near me that costs $27 per person. I might give it another shot and see how it goes.
