The portions are generous without being overwhelming, which makes it even more enjoyable. We also love the almond chicken and the lo-main noodles -- both are always delicious and consistently good. Another thing I really appreciate is that when we order to go, the food is always packaged well and never spills out of the containers. and I prefer the box instead of the back so that comes really handy. The restaurant is always clean and well put together, which makes the whole experience even better. Great food, great portions, and a welcoming place we definitely recommend! Great job guys... :)

I ordered broccoli beef and a mango green tea with boba. I ordered take out. The ambiance was nice…read morein the restaurant, clean and spacious. The restaurant was busy on Thursday night. The broccoli beef was $18 before tax. The takeout order came with a light broth egg, pea soup and rice. The egg pea soup was good, light and fragrant. The rice was somehow bland and old. The broccoli beef was disappointing in every way! As the name implies, the dish should have beef and broccoli only. This dish came with everything, mushrooms, carrots, onions, beef and broccoli. The seasoning was bland and watered down, from the extra veggies. The portion for $18 and less broccoli and beef was depressing. The bowl was the same size as my small hand. The mango green tea was fair. I wasn't asked about my sugar preference. The tea was sweet, but still good. The boba was chewy and slightly sweet, super happy it wasn't tasteless and firm. I wouldn't come back for broccoli beef. I might come back to try something else. The prices were high for the quality and portions.

You walk through all the fresh ingredients and pick as you like to customize your favorite. I tried the rice and spring mix with spicy tuna and spicy salmon with various toppings. The only place to get a taste of Hawaii in Spokane. Highly recommend, good for lunch, dinner or quick grab. They take all payments and plenty of parking.

Will keep coming back.

There are lots of tables and chairs, free WiFi and music playing in the background. The service is good, younger college kids but friendly. There is a stamp card and phone number rewards program. The menu is huge and customizable. The drinks come in one size. I usually order a mango/lychee black tea, half sweet with boba. My husband likes the honey milk tea and strawberry black tea. The drinks are about $7-9. The boba is usually soft and chewy, which is a huge bonus. This place is a regular sweet treat spot for my husband and me.

You pick your ramen, grab a pot, choose your toppings, and there's someone there to guide you through every step. Your ramen boils right in front of you and is ready in minutes. The toppings were fresh, the complimentary vegetables were amazing, and the unlimited sauces were a huge plus. I personally got the Buldak ramen and loaded it up with all the veggies, spam, kaki seasoning, and a raw egg. Ten out of ten, highly recommend. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The boba is also really good. I tried the Dubai chocolate boba, and a few of my friends got different drinks. We all loved what we ordered, so definitely don't skip the boba. The atmosphere is really cute and welcoming. It's a great spot for a date night or just hanging out with friends. They even sell hoodies, sweatshirts, and tumblers with their logo, which is a fun touch. I also loved their slogan mentioning Jesus on TikTok. It felt wholesome and unique. If you're not super close, it is still worth the drive. This is easily one of the best hot pot ramen spots I've been to. Super delicious, great vibes, and an overall amazing experience.

What a fun place! Overall a good experience with a few frustrations that I think are totally…read morefixable. First off, the staff was so nice, there was one person their who knew her stuff and another staff member who was clearly new (perhaps some more training needed) and although she couldn't answer some basic questions and rang us up wrong was very nice. The experience was fun and I was surprised how many ramen options there were. I had a black garlic one that was super tasty and the kids got the basic ramen. When we walked in our kids went straight for the basic ramen and a staff member told us that the kids meals are significantly cheaper and a good deal so that was a bonus for us as the window out front said it would only be $2. However we were rung up for $4 each and then later found out that the kids meals included a drink but the soda machine was out. When we inquired (just out of curiosity why the price was different, weren't really complaining) she said we need to specify the kids meal but our kids are 7 so clearly under the 12 year old mark and they brought their trays to the register...... $2 is a steal, I would have paid $4 easily for the meal that came with a drink but we weren't really offered any substitutions for the missing drink, we only found out afterwards that it was suppose to include a drink. So we paid more and didn't get what was suppose to be included. The included toppings are nice, I found it a little confusing to figure out what wasn't included and how much the extras were. I also think some of the extras were over priced/underwhelming like the corn, I think it was a dollar or $1.50 and it was like 2 tablespoons worth. I also think the process could have been explained a bit more, one of the workers was very nice but she was making drinks so it was hard for her to guide us. On the machine itself there were several buttons and we had no idea what to choose, maybe a little card would help? All in all it was a fun experience and we'll be better versed next time we go. My daughter's birthday is Sunday and she changed her birthday lunch from McDonalds to the "Ramen place." So this place was definitely a hit for our family.

I have tried them before at the Perry Farmer's Market. Overall, great quality drinks but at a pricier cost. PARKING: You can park in the structure (not sure if they validate though). You can also do metered parking as well. I waited in the loading zone as my husband went to grab the drinks we ordered ahead of the time through their website. ONLINE ORDERING: Highly recommend doing this for quick pick-ups! Drinks were made within 10 min of ordering. Love how you can personalize what % of sweetness and level of ice you want when ordering. JASMINE MILK TEA: Comes with jasmine milk tea with half and half creamer. I ordered this at 75% sweetness and light ice, which was perfect for me. I had to add boba as a topping, which sucks for the added price as typically places include boba for the basic jasmine/black milk tea. With the boba and it being a large size, this cost $6.75. YIKES for inflation and the high pricing, but I enjoyed it. STRAWBERRY GREEN TEA: Comes with green tea and natural strawberry puree that is sweetened (making it so that the minimum sweetness level is 25%). I ordered this in regular size and with boba as well, which again was additional and on the pricier side than what I want to pay for a drink ($6.25). I also ordered this at 50% sweetness and light ice, which was a little too light for me (I'd get 75% sweetness next time personally). TOPPINGS: They have a great assortment of toppings or substitutions which I will list below. All toppings are an additional 75 cents to your drink. If you wanted double of a topping, it would be an additional $1.25. -Boba -Jelly: Strawberry, Lychee, Rainbow, Half/Half -Milk: Soy, Oat -Puree: Strawberry, Mango -Salted Cream
