    SPICY TUNA ROLL
    Chris H.

    Stopped by today to get some sushi and they didn't have any wasabi. No worries, I guess. But what made it sad was the quality of my spicy tuna. It was a day away from being spoiled (pictures included). Service was alright but we had to ask for basics such as chop sticks, plates for our edamame, and we didn't get offered refills on our waters. This place was once a go to spot but now I feel as if it's been slowly but surely declining.

    Chicken Ramen: Vegetable Broth with Chicken Base.
    Michele L.

    Yoshiharu Ramen serves Hokkaido Japanese ramen and other Japanese dishes. We decided to give Yoshiharu Ramen a try and was a little disappointed. It wasn't busy when we came in for dinner. The restaurant's decor is very cute and fits well with their theme. Our server was nice, but not the best in execution. I requested Wakame (wet seaweed) to be added to the Ramen. We received Nori (dried seaweed) instead. We made the best of it. We also asked for a couple spoons to make it easier to get broth, since we were sharing it. He brought over a couple of plastic spoons??!! He asked if we wanted an egg, which we said yes. But, NO egg in Ramen?! Chicken Ramen: Vegetable Broth with Chicken Base. Broth a little bland- expecting more of a chicken flavoring. More flavor towards the bottom of the bowl. More of a umami flavor. Nice bite on noodles so it was cooked well. The Chicken was a little dry. I liked the Kikurage, wood ear mushroom. Since we were splitting the ramen, we asked for 2 extra bowls. Found the main ramen bowl kept the broth warmer. Potato shrimp- deep fried shrimp wrapped with potato strings. It made for a pretty presentation. Clever idea. However, it did not taste as good as it looked. The potato strips could have used some salt after being fried. It was crunchy. The sweet & sour sauce was good, which helped with the flavor. Crunch Roll Sushi - the shrimp tempura was not as crunchy. The spicy Mayo and Eel sauce very good. Texture inside a little softer than I like. I liked the crunchy bits on top - gives it texture. I really did want to like the food but found it to be just okay.

    Pros: Close to home. Easy parking. No waiting. Portions are big! Seating area was clean and inviting. Gyoza was super tasty! Cons: Karaage was like rubber. Tonkotsu Ramen was mid. The employees seemed really nervous and anxious.

    If you are hungry and want anything other than ramen don't come here. We came here for dinner on a Friday night it was not packed and we still waited 45 minutes for one roll of sushi, edamame, and bento box. They claimed to only have one chef making all the appetizers and sushi however the restaurant appeared to be full of people eating only ramen. Expect long waits! We had to ask for the edamame as they had forgot about it. They didn't serve wasabi or ginger with the sushi, I had to ask for it. Overall, I would probably try a different location next time.

    Delicious noodles i recommend the spicy Tonkotsu Black it's absolutely great and the service was perfect will be back here again

    Lobster Ramen
    Erik A.

    Decided to try this spot because it was close to where I was staying. Seriously one of the best Ramens Ive ever had. It was there Lobster Ramen, which isn't the reason. The broth was so many depths of flavor. It had a good amount of seafood, the veggies and fries garlic all complemented each other. This place has become one of my regular stops when I'm in town. Great staff and customer service.

    Place is very tasty, I always go for the spicy ramen. This is mine and my sons best ramen spot I definitely recommend this place

    Tonkatsu Shoyu Ramen  Ramen cooked to perfect firmness.  Full bodied broth.
    Andrew L.

    I liked this place. The ramen noodles were cooked perfectly, firm but not undercooked. The broth was full bodied, but not overly salty, which I feel most ramen places are guilty of. My favorite dish was the bento box. Most bento boxes come out in those painted chipped sectional boxes, but this one was artfully arranged on a black tray, with 4 bowls: neat, clean, and yet artful, in the Japanese aesthetic of detail, refinement, and clean design. The Tempura was exceptional: batter was crunchy and firm with enough flavor, that I found I didn't need the dipping sauce. Overall, the food was excellent, nothing was over salted, I could taste all the flavors, which were clean and refreshing. Decor was also nicely done. Place was clean, furniture in great shape, and the music was at a volume to provide a relaxing atmosphere without intruding on the dining experience. In summary, this place hit all the right check boxes: great food, nothing overdone, excellent presentation, and professional, courteous, attentive wait staff that you would expect from an authentic Japanese establishment. Definitely will be back.

    Tonkotsu Spicy Black and Baked Salmon & Shrimp Tempura Roll. They were both okay. Ramen was overpriced for the overall quality and taste.
    Sally F.

    Husband and I decided to try this place instead of our favorite pho restaurant next door. They had a BOGO 50% second order of equal or lesser value for appetizers, alcohol and rolls. We ordered their Tonkatsu Spicy Black ramen and Baked Salmon and Shrimp Tempura rolls. Here are our thoughts: * Tonkatsu Spicy Black - Visually, it looked great. The first few bites were great, but then it sort of went downhill from there. We both found the broth to be too cooled down from the ingredients just a few bites in. Their broth either needed to be higher up in temperature or they needed to let their ingredients warm up more before putting it in. Taste-wise, the broth was really salty and oily. I'm a soup girl and definitely drink up as much ramen broth as I can--but I could not with this bowl. I think there was still more than half of the broth left when I was done. * Baked Salmon and Shrimp Tempura Roll - It was a standard baked roll, nothing spectacular. Definitely on the sweeter side, but the imitation crab and shrimp filling helped round it out a bit. It had a special mayo sauce and eel sauce on top. Overall, we weren't that satisfied with our meal. They took a long time to make our food despite being the only ones there initially, but it looked like they were pretty busy with takeout orders. The two server girls weren't very attentive and kind of hung out in the back, where one of them seemed to be training the other. We may come back to try some of their other items like their bentos or rice dishes, but probably won't do their ramen or rolls again.

    St St. Louis Pork Rib Spicy Miso ramen so delicious
    Stephanie K.

    Decided to come here for a late night dinner! So glad we came because food was so good everything has so much flavor! I tried the scallops on the yakitori menu and ordered the karate chicken was soo soft and got the st. louis pork ramen super delicious I can't emphasize enough how delicious this place is! You gotta try! Service is a 10/10 they're super kind and helpful making sure you have the best dine in experience! Love it here this will be my new go to spot! Ambiance is super cute and clean! Definitely will be back!

    Cajun Seafoodyaki: pic is from yelp but this is how I remember from 1st visit 2 mths ago. Next pic is from today. Quality has gone downhill.
    Kevin K.

    I am not a frequent yelp reviewer. I try not to leave underwhelming reviews, unless it is severe. I try to be as understanding as possible because I want to support businesses. However, my family and I were very disappointed today. This was my second visit. I came here for my first visit a couple of months ago. During my first visit, the food was spectacular. It was freshly made with high-quality ingredients. The tempura was fabulous with large shrimp and pieces of veggies. The fried oyster and the Cajun Seafoodyaki had the perfect flavor with fresh seafood. My family agreed we should come back for another visit soon. Fast forward a couple of months, we visited for the second time today. And it was truly disappointing. The Takoyaki came out undercooked. It was icy inside when I bit into it. The tempura was small, undercooked, bland, and soggy. The Tako Wasabi was not fresh. The Cajun Seafoodyaki was so tiny compared to what I got during the first visit. The yakitori was subpar, the veggies were tiny, meat was underseasoned. The waiter also said no Sashimi was available since the main chef wasn't there. The hot sake we ordered was bland too. It was overheated to the point that it lost flavor. There was an elder man in the kitchen who kept staring at our table after an item was served. We asked the waiter if the owner or chef had changed. He said the 2 main chefs were out to train other locations. This place must be either cost cutting or lost the chef that was making some fabulous dishes. I understand businesses must make a profit, but seriously, my experience here today was maybe the worst I ever had. And it's so shockingly disappointing since our first visit was so good. I will be exploring the other few Izakaya options in the area instead.

Under their Light Dinner section, they offer a Zarusoba for $12.00 and a Tempura Udon/Soba with Shrimp Tempura for $13.00. However, if you want Zarusoba with Tempura, they charge an extra dollar. The Zarusoba was good, but it would be nice if they gave a bit more sauce for dipping. I also got a Sashimi Salad, which had a lot of sashimi! It had salmon, tuna, and a white fish. Pretty good, but it could have used a little more dressing as well. The Combination Plate with Salmon and Tempura was enjoyable. It comes with a piece of salmon, a variety of tempura (shrimp, broccoli, sweet potato, onion), side salad, miso soup, rice, tempura sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Salmon was cooked well, and I liked all of the tempura! Their Lunch Specials are originally what caught my eye, but it seems like they don't have anything similar for dinner. Instead, everything is a la carte with the exception of a few combination plates. I wish they would do dinner specials similar to their lunch specials! Parking here is pretty difficult. The lot gets packed with several cars circling around hunting for a spot. They're also going some construction right now which doesn't help. There is a large parking lot where the Home Depot is next door, but they specifically have signs posted to say you can't park there.
