Great little japanese restaurant tucked away in Matthews. Besides ramen the menu is filled with plenty of authentic japanese dishes. The chicken karaage was good, marinated well. Fried white meat instead of the traditional dark meat but was very good regardless. The japanese mayo could use a bit of enhancement. The octopus balls were very good. Spicy seafood ramen was well done. The broth was nice. My friend ordered the shoyu ramen it was a but different from the shoyu ramen we've had in the past. I wonder if it was just the tonkotsu base with additional soy sauce added to make it shoyu. It was a good broth though. Service was good. The restaurant has about 8 tables so it can get crowded in there. Recommend getting there early or you'll be waiting.
