Agedashi Tofu (5/5) - one of the best I've had! They gice you big pieces of tofu and plenty of sauce for the tofu! It's a nice healthy appetizer to have against the rich ramen!
Kai White Ramen (5/5) - their famous award-winning ramen is delicious! The crispy onions with the garlic butter add a nice richness to the bowl and the chashu here is nice and fatty! The broth is flavorful while being light and not too heavy!
Buttercorn Ramen (5/5) - one of the few places I know of to serve corn butter ramen and it is definitely one of my favorites here! The corn and butter add so much depth to the broth and they work so well with the chashu and thick noodles they give you! Its a very filling bowl for sure!

Read moreWe went there for my daughter's birthday today. There was 12 of us all together. We had spoken to the waitress at the beginning about the buy one get one coupon from Facebook. This was what led us to trying this restaurant tonight. The food was very delicious with lots of flavor. The service was horrible. Our order was messed up and 2 of the ramens we ordered weren't made. So 2 people in my party had to wait even longer for their food. The water was never refilled. Then when it came to the end, the waitress didn't bother to ask us if we wanted to order anything else and just brought us the bill. I then once again brought up that we wanted to split the bill and also we had the coupons. She was very rude and at first didnt even want to redo the bill and at least use one of the coupons. Once you redeem them you have to use it that day so we wasted 3 coupons. When I asked to speak to a manager she then agreed to split it into 2 bills and she used 2 coupons. Then she added an automatic 18% gratuity which she didn't even deserve due to the lack of service we received. Needless to say due to the customer service we will not be returning as we have other ramen places closer to us with same great flavors. It was really disappointing because we had been looking forward to trying this...
Read moreThis place's got some high-quality ramen, which is different than many I have tried. It was featured in various places food blogs. Unfortunately due to the 2nd surge of COVID, the outdoor seating is closed until further notice
They have black, white, and red kai ramen, which all are pretty amazing. I had their black kai ramen combo twice now, with chashew rice bowl and also the chicken fried rice. I got to say their salad isn't the greatest, but their fried rice and chashew are to die for in addition to the ramen.
The only sad thing is, generally by the time I get home with the to-go ramen, the noodles are already cold and dry. It becomes clumpy and hard to eat even after putting it in the hot ramen. Their food, if you do choose ramen, is meant to be eaten fresh -- especially since they do put the noodles separately from the soup to prevent absorption. But definitely a spot worth checking out.
There is generally always a set of the audience waiting for their food when I go there.
The place is shared with plaza parking, which is very spacious and I have not seen it packed (but also covid, so it might not be true to real-time).
Their service is great, just a bit slow but probably its because they do make the food fresh generally depending on...
