What our guests are saying

Very flavorful and delicious ramen. We enjoyed our lunch here. My son chose the gyoza ramen, my wife the classic and I had the spicy with an extra egg. Get their eggs! I am not sure how a boiled egg could taste so good? The service was great too. Everyone was kind thoughtful and fun. We will be back

Great food and service! Jesus was a great server - gave great recommendations and had us laughing the whole time. Would come back for lunch or dinner with friend. The special celebrity Pikachu appearance was a highlight 😂

Our first time here and our server, Jesus was great! attentive and very nice 😊 Food is excellent. We got the Ikari steak ramen, which they blow-torched at the table. We also got the Mazesoba short rib, kids ramen, and a mint lime sparkler. Everything’s great. Thank you Noka!
