fantastic!! was checking this spot out with a friend and the person handing out samples in front of the counter immediately caught our attention and was extremely nice and very personable. he gave us samples of some of their fried chicken (which was delicious), then after talking with us for a bit, he recommended we try the bento boxes, as well as a couple imported beverages from their fridge (which were absolutely excellent). my friend and i got the chicken and the shrimp boxes and shared them; they were absolutely delicious and perfectly portioned (especially for the price of roughly $13 each) so we were left satisfied and full and even had a little bit to spare! they came with a salad, miso soup, white or fried rice, shumai dumplings, and either the chicken or shrimp, all of which was top-notch. everything was made to order and you could definitely taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients. the person who was working the register and preparing the food was incredibly kind to us as well; when we went back to get a dango stick for dessert, he gave us an extra one for free, which was very generous and absolutely delicious. food aside, for a small storefront in a mall food court this place was visibly very clean and well-kept, and the general aesthetic and layout of everything gave off a great vibe as well. we will definitely be back the next time we’re at the smith haven mall; i highly recommend you support this place and check out their...
Read moreThe gentleman at the counter is extremely polite and friendly and took my order this morning at the check in kiosk, which is honestly pretty convenient. I ordered the Tantan Ramen bowl and as my first experience with a fresh bowl of Ramen, it was outstanding. The egg is cooked just right that it's neither raw nor too hard,the freshly mixed vegetables gave a nice fresh and cool bite among the warmer flavors. The spice is enough to make you want more but not an overload. The noodles are extremely tasty and the dish was very filling. I'm general skeptical and mixed on food at the food court but their Ramen is definitely worth the price in flavor, quality and filling. Overall this is how you run a restaurant and I will definitely be coming here...
Read moreI had high hopes for this place. As a person who enjoys quality ramen, I was quite disappointed. We started off with the matcha cheesecake. It was frozen, which was fine - I was on the insinuation that it was fresh. Either way, we got the tokatsu ramen and the chefs special, chicken curry, and rice.
The ramen broth was a bit bland, the pork was good, but there was no bean sprout and there was pickled cabbage then ginger. Over all, the ramen was just "ok", for the price and the fast food, I mean, nothing to lose if you want ramen at the mall.
The takoyaki was alright too, the octopus was chewy, but the taste overall was good. It's a food I missed eating in Japan.
This is a good place to introduce youth to ramen and...
