Best Ramen and fried chicken options. I only wish they would have a separate fryer for veggie options and Seafood and not fry all in the same fryer. Since I got shellfish allergy my option is limited to one ramen and steamed dumplings which were delish.

Now this is a great place to go to. Food was fantastic, service was excellent, ambience and value were great. I have nothing negative to say about this place—I totally recommend it (though it’s pretty busy—so would recommend making a reservation if you can).

Tantan-san veggie ramen was delicious and creamy, and not over complicated - mushrooms, tofu, leafy greens, and an optional egg complemented the noodles well. Wish I had time to stay for drinks, too

Everything was great, the only thing is that it is not a quick meal. Took about 45 mins to get our Ramen…apps came out rather quickly though and they kept our drinks full.

We’ve been going here for 5 years . Pre-pandemic & pre-kids , we would come for the happy hour . We loved the food and music. Now with kids we love it even more. We like clip on high chairs, mini chop stick helpers and ramen noodle and broth dishes . They make the meal fun for the kids and less stressful on the parents .

Casual atmosphere with 90s hip hop in the background. Great selection of Japanese whisky. Monthly limited edition ramen which is always unique. Late night fried rice a great night cap.

The service was unacceptable. The drinks were slow, server barely acknowledged us for 5 mins once we were seated. Food was good and came at a good pace. Going to try the ramen spot around the corner next time…
