Went on a Friday at 7pm! I love anime so I was excited to go here due to the theme. It's a cute little place that is short on... seating, but that's because of the little area they have. They did set up some seating outside in warmer weather. They seemed tobe extremely under staffed to the point we waited a long time for our food and my ichiraku iced coffee was forgotten until weasked at the end. They do have orders coming in from online so I get that it can be rough to clear tables and food out timely.Once we said we wanted to dine in , they did clear 3 tables so we could choose from 1. I ordered the grilled chicken ramen andlet me tell you the flavor is AMAZING! The chicken was so delicious and the broth had a nice flavor to it as well that soaked upnicely in the egg and the noodles. The noodles to me came out a little bit...tougher than normal/should be I guess I would say.The noodles had different texture in some and others they were just right, which not sure how that happened that they werent allconsistent texture (our bowls sat out made while they finished our buns since they came out together maybe?, but let the noodlessit in the broth for few min to get a better/uniform texture if this is the case in yours. I know, eat noodles first usually butthis case it was better to let them sit slightly in the broth. He got a spicy pork ramen which I tried his pork and it was alittle fatty. He even said my chicken was better. The banzai buns were very tasty and recommend to try! Bubbletea is a must.They have so many flavors...I actually got the ichiraku iced coffee, even though it came out way late and we had to remind herto make it for us, the taste of the coffee was robust (in a good way) Final say...flavor is on point! Seating is limited soordering to go ahead of time may be a decent option. If this place can get more staff and keep up with how busy they get toreduce wait times then I think it will become 1 of the best places in town! The price may seem e Read more
I've always gone downtown for a hot, quality bowl of Ramen. I'm so glad I don't have to anymore. The pork melts in my mouth,... Ramen had just enough bite, broth was incredibly rich and flavorful. Service was absolutely top notch. Wish there was a bathroomand a bit more space inside but it absolutely matches the theme. Can't wait to go back and take more people to lunch from work. Read more
Great little ramen restaurant with some nice Japanese comfort food options. One of the few places in the area where I can get... okonomiyaku and Japanese curry. They also have a nice selection of vegetarian choices. The anime running in the background isa nice choice. Read more
Yum Yum Yum! Loved the ambiance- very anime. The food was delicious and the staff was very kind and welcoming. Lots of vegan... option**. Pro tip: there can be wait time as this place is small, so plan in advance. Read more
My brother and I went here back in the fall. This is a small place, only four or five small tables inside and a few outside, so... keep that in mind if you are looking to eat at places with lots of space between customers. Many orders were picked up to-gowhile we were eating there, so that might be the better alternative. I got the tonkatsu fried chicken ramen while my brothergot one of the pork options. The food was nicely priced, all the main items being between $12 and $15 (online ordering prices).The lady who took our order made sure to tell me that the chicken would have a bit of heat to it. While I normally do not enjoyspiciness, I decided to get it anyways. Right glad that I did, the ramen was amazing! The dish was very flavorful. The spicefrom the chicken was not super strong, which was a good thing in my opinion. My brother got bubble tea with his meal and enjoyedit immensely. However, he did not think highly of his pork ramen. He did try my chicken ramen and said he would have enjoyed itmore than what he had got. Overall, would definitely order from here again! Read more
Ordered online for pickup, place came highly recommended and as a west coast gal looking for some good ramen I was excited to... try! Ordering online was super easy! Very decent prices and finally some boba tea! But that?s probably where it ended, it?ssmall restaurant. Which is fine, the manager? Tall older man was very rude upon entering. Fine whatever I got my food and left,but upon returning home and opening my order it was separated? So my noodles were super dry and congealed together.. And thenoodles? these are not ramen noodles. These are top ramen noodles. Skinny and thin. So docked a star there.. this ramen is verysweet and I guess maybe I used to very savory. ??????????? Another star being docked. I can say it does taste good, just notwhat I was expecting. I am glad I got extra hot because it?s barely hot enough.. (I put my noodles and everything together andinitially wanted to wait but the broth was lukewarm and the noodles were like warm as well. So docked my last star. Will tryagain soon. The boba tea is delicious ???? Read more
Small but supper good Naruto themed noodles house. The buns are a must have. The Broth is smooth and savory.
