All you hear is slurps for the food. The service is perfect for those who are socially anxious. The place itself looks clean and cute.

Love this place! So much we came back twice in a week! Their black garlic ramen is fire!! The kids ramen is pretty decent sized and my 2 kids can share it. The appetizers were all good too! The service is attentive and friendly, and they are accommodating with our large party (both times we're a party of 7 or more). It is a small cozy place and it's mainly small party seating but they will put a bunch of tables together to make it work. My kids like the food so that is always a win. They make really good chicken katsu too, which my youngest is all about. They do get busy so I recommend going early, especially if you have a large group.

There are plenty of parking, right next to Safeway. We got our seats right away during lunch hour on a Tuesday. There is a tablet on the table and you order food, snacks and drinks on there. Very easy to order and fast service. The food did not take long to arrive and the service was great. I love my black garlic ramen. It's perfect portion for one person or more. I could not finish my bowl. I would love to return and try other items on the menu, if I come back in this part of town again.

Walked in and got an open table. The menu is on an iPad affixed to each table and you order from that. I ordered the curry ramen bowl and a side order of seaweed salad. The seaweed salad was $5 and the portion was small. I wouldn't order that again, at that price point. The curry ramen was about $18 and the portion size was good for that price point. The curry chicken was very good and I'd highly recommend it. I will definitely be stopping by again when in the area and I'd recommend it to others.

Got to the restaurant right when they opened on a Saturday and it got packed in less than 10 minutes. The store itself has a nice ambiance and is suitable for all ages. The chicken katsu was very thin so would not recommend, the curry croquette was very yum! We also ordered the black garlic ramen but I didn't think it was garlicky enough. Overall, the food was good but would've been better if the food came out hot instead of just warm, especially the chicken katsu.

Food was pretty good, service was awesome, interior had a ton of totoro plushies which my toddler loved. You order from a tablet and the food comes out pretty quickly. I would say this place is pretty good. I ordered the black garlic ramen & I love the broth they used for the soup. Would come back.
