Been coming here for a while with the wife, definitely will keep on coming back.
Service: Excellent - In contrast to earlier reviews from others around the summer (2013), we have nothing but good and friendly service. There was one exception, but they were just slammed that night by two large parties, but to the wait staff's credit they didn't lose their smile.
Food: My first meal there was tonkotsu ramen. I just don't have the tongue for it. My wife, who's Japanese, loves it. However their tori (chicken) ramen is just perfect for me. My tip is to order it with extra chicken.
Their appetizers are fantastic and presented well. Their new agedashi tofu dish is probably my favorite in the valley and the gyoza is exactly how you expected it. However their karaage can be a bit on the greasy side.
Atmosphere: I really like sitting in this place, it's let well, but not too bright, the chef is stationed so he can see most of the customers faces, and every always seems in a good mood once that bowl of ramen is planted in front of them.
