“ Very good quality food, modern ambience, good for a date night. They have a nice outdoor patio and also inside seating and a bar. Also they are open 24/7. We need more 24/7 food access that's not just del taco, jack in the box, and Castaneda's. I'm glad I found this place. It was very clean when I was there and even though it was late and the staff must have been tired they were very kind, friendly, and professional. I recommend trying here for lunch or dinner if you haven't before. ”
“ Overall I’d rate this place 5 stars- I definitely should have taken a picture before digging in! Such a cool place for a late night bite and drinks whether you’re by yourself or with your friends. Extremely fast service, friendly staff, and it’s nice to see they have fun together. Laid back ramen bar with a cool Tokyo nights vibe. Delicious and very filling. ”
“ Great food! Great service! Love that they are open 24 hrs. The ramen is delicious as always and their new sweet n spicy wings are amazing! Oh and the fried rice! Basically every time I go the food is really good! It makes what I listed below a little more tolerable. 2 bad things when dining in... 1. It smells like cleaning chemicals. That's great to know that they take cleanliness serious but it should smell so strong. Certain area in the dining area we're stronger and gave us a baby headache. 2. No AC. Which I'm sure they know it's a problem, especially if your serving hot ramen haha I hope they can get it fixed soon. The poor workers were fanning themselves with menus. ”
