    The food here is good, but I really like how it's always open late! While this isn't the best place to get authentic Japanese ramen, it's definitely a go-to if you are craving it at 9pm on a weekday.

    I've tried a couple items on their menu, but my favorite things to get here are their Niku Ramen and Garlic Shoyu Chicken. Both come out pretty fast and are always hot & ready to be eaten. Their noodle and rice bowls are also good and come with a lot of toppings. No real complaints on the food, except that the fries can be a little soggy..otherwise I've always had a good experience here.

    Prices are pretty reasonable and the service is always quick and friendly!

    This is my first time here. It was not outstanding by any means, but it was good for a quick bowl of soup.

    I asked one of the employees what the most popular ramen was, so I went with her suggestion.

    Tonkotsu Niku Ramen - $12.99
    Spicy pork, Chashu 2piece, memma, mushroom, green onion, corn

    - you have a variety of options for the meat, but she said spicy pork was the most popular

    - you also pick your spicy level. I went with #3 which was a true medium. I'd probably go with #4 if I were to return. She said #5 had ghost peppers.

    I'd probably go with a different ramen next time like the miso one, but at the end of the day, I just wanted some warm soup since I have a cold and it did the trick.

    Gyoza - $3.00
    4piece

    - I wouldn't order the gyoza again, it was too crispy.

    TL;DR A-OK

    The good

    - Friendly staff.
    - Ramen is average; Cheap and portioned well.
    - Accepts credit cards.

    The bad

    - Parking can be tight; Shared with Kenzo.
    - Small space; Limited seating.
    - Food quality is "A-OK"

    Love this place with different choices and spacious seating and parking. One of the place you can get food late night and portion is great too. Get snack size or entree size of meal. Asian fusion style of food and reasonable price either with or without combos

    The prices are nice and the food is okay. My problem is that a few more items were in my dish that weren't on the menu and I'd asked if it we're possible to get it remade without the extra ingredients that I didn't want and was told " that's how it's made,...pick the things out if you don't want them". Well I'm glad the got the 20% tip prior to me getting my food because I'm not feeling a 5% tip service, hope it goes to the cook because the food is cool aside from the plate of stuff i had to pick out.
    P.s. Spicy level 3 is pretty solid think I'll do lvl2 if i come back so I'm not sweating lol.
