Finally another ramen/sushi establishment in Pittsburgh/Shadyside!
For Pittsburgh, this place is great, but be warned, they serve udon or soba noodles with your ramen - not traditional alkaline noodles you find out in California/Japan. To be fair, I don't think there are any legit ramen restaurants in Pittsburgh.
We walked in and were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant was pretty empty since we came before the lunch rush. Super nice decor and they also have a full bar. Nice!
Food: We ordered an Eel Donburi and the Shoyu Ramen. Both were flavorful, hearty, and delicious. We also ordered a Spider Roll, which was like any other we've had before. My boyfriend loved the eel and said the donburi bowl is a good size. For dessert, we ordered the green tea mochi and some coconut gelatin dessert. The mochi was okay, but the coconut gelatin was awesome! Super refreshing and light. We paid about $40 and tip, which is average for Shadyside. They have other dishes on the menu, such as yakitori, sashimi, sushi rolls, etc. We'll definitely be back to try more.
Service: five stars. Attentive servers - our water cups were always full and they regularly checked on us. The owner even came by to say hi and asked how the food taste.
In a food wasteland like Pittsburgh, this establishment is a nice and necessary addition. Check it out.
