    Wow is all I can say. We came for the Ramen (Midwest Shoyu and Akahoshi Miso), stayed for the Chashu rice - 2 orders it was amazing. It was absolutely phenomenal food, quick service. Watched the Ramen Lord in action and he even presented our Ramen at the counter! 10/10, eagerly looking forward to our next experience there.

    I brought two friends with me to dinner tonight. One of them did not like Asian food, and we were celebrating the birthday of the other person. They both loved the meal and we decided it will be the perfect place to celebrate more birthdays and dinners together. Thank you so much Roka Akor. Food and service were excellent!

    We had a wonderful time, but at the end of the meal we had difficulty signing into our QR code Lettuce Eats account to get our points. I don't think we ever were able to figure it out (my husband had to try even though it was his birthday and I didn't want him to have to deal with the bill.) Please streamline this and/or just give paper bills. Thank you.
