| - As this is a popular chain in the States, I was excited to check this place out! It was busy during dinner time, so we had to wait approx. half hr for a table for 3 and there wasn't a lot of waiting space. I Once we were finally seated, the entire place cleared out, so I would say a good time to go without any waiting is like 7:30ish. I noticed right away that each table had a little 'sauce' station which included hot sauce, gyoza sauce and soy sauce, which I thought was pretty neat!
My girlfriends and I got a couple of appies as well as their one and only cocktail, the lychee drink. It was a simple, yet very tasty drink! We got the salmon poke tacos, crispy chicken (karraage) and salmon cilantro sashimi. The salmon poke tacos were unreal! While it was a little messy, I loved the crispy wonton shell! I could definitely eat like a whole plate of those. For the crispy chicken, you can choose between 5/10/15 pieces and they are pretty generous on the portion sizes. For 5 pieces, the plate was pretty big and full, so I would recommend you share with someone.
As for the ramen, not only were SO many options to choose from (chicken, pork AND veggie broth) but you can customize the ramen in any way you like! There was huge list of extra toppings you can add and you can also customize the noodle thickness (they even have spinach noodles!), which was cool! Also I would like to add that this is the first place I've ever see VEGAN ramen! I really like how inclusive this place is trying to be.
As for us, we all ended up getting the cha cha cha ramen just because we've been hearing a lot of good reviews (and it also sounds amazing). You can also make your ramen a combo and choose a side and salad. I choose gyoza and was very happy with them, they cooked perfectly and were full of flavour! The ramen itself was delicious, especially the broth!! Super garlicky and I love spice so I added the hot sauce and it made it even better. Every table also gets fresh garlic as well as their own garlic press so you can add garlic to your ramen if you want! I wish they served the ramen in a bigger bowl because it was pretty overcrowded and it was hard to mix everything without it getting everywhere. I don't know if it was just me, but I found their noodles to be a TAD too soft and it was easy for it to become a little mushy pretty quickly. We finished everything off with some mochi ice-cream (green tea & chocolate, you can get one of each if you like) and they were great!! They're cut up if you would like to share, but I don't know why you would, they're just too good.
From the first couple of reviews I read complaining about the service, it looks like they noticed and upped their game because we had multiple people come in and check in on us. Overall, it was a lively vibe and great little joint. I'd check it out if you're around.
