Great ramen place to go! There are a good variety of ramen and also rice you can choose. The takoyaki is really good, and the sesame chicken is very tasty as well. The desert, their almond pudding is really good!! I went there when it first open, at first it was very empty little restaurant with very few costumes, but the waitress is very friendly, she treated us the dessert (for free!) And even now every time me and my family go there, the waitresses recognized us and ALWAYS treat us dessert ((sometimes ice cream, sometimes the almond pudding)) *New costumer now might not get free desserts idk if its just us* And now whenever I go with my family, the restaurant is full. I am happy for them that a lot more people started to go there, its truly a good restaurant!

Came here for lunch. Its hard to find a ramen place thats open until 3 in the afternoon, and if they are, its usually packed. I ordered the Red Dragon Ramen here and it exceeded my expectation. The broth was spicy like the way I wanted. First time Yelpers can check in and get a free vegetable topping. Apparently, the egg was considered a vegetable topping so I got that on the side. Service was quick, and it wasnt packed when I went at 2pm. The parking lot is kind of small though since it is shared with other businesses and a supermarket. But I was still able to park. $15 min required on credit card.

Decent ramen place. They play anime on the television which is cool. Staff was nice and brought extra bowls and plastic utensils for the baby. The menu did not describe what was in the ramen but yelp provided the descriptions. They had an option for large noodles that I ordered and was pretty tasty. The pork belly was tender and melts in your mouth. The soy sauce egg was over medium and perfect. We all ordered different ramens. Black, white, red, spicy chicken, and veggie. Everyone was happy with their choices.

This is tucked in a pretty big plaza with a grocery store. Their ramen is pretty typical of most ramen places popping up and theyve tried to set themselves apart by offering these really thick noodles, which I honestly like. The noodles were awesome but the ramen as a whole seemed lacking. Its definitely a place you should check out if you like thick yellow noodles for your ramen, though it will cost you a little extra.

Went here based off the reviews and was not disappointed. I love this place! The broth is pretty thick and flavor full. Ive tried the yellow Kai ramen, the spicy chicken and volcano ramen. All three didnt disappoint! The service is pretty good here for it being such a small spot. You cant go wrong with making your ramen into a combo for $5. You get your choice of sprite or coke and pot stickers or fried rice.

I like that they offer Ramen with your choice of pork chicken or beef broth. I had the Red Dragon which is supposed to be medium level of heat, it was more hot than medium. I couldnt finish it because of the heat. If a little less heat it would have been perfect for me. They also give you a water pitcher to dispense your own water. Really nice touch.

Awesome Ramen but it can be a little hit or miss sometimes. My favorite is the spicy beef. Not many ramen places have beef, this place has beef and chicken. Choices!!! The tsukemen is also pretty good. There arent many places that serve this ramen dipping variety so be sure to try it. Great ramen when its good!

1st time here. The Ramen is good,l. One if my nephew is not very much into ramen and he said it was good. however service is another story. Its slow and they dont seem to pay attention. 2 Waiter / waitress seems to be rushing all the time and the place is not full. I ask 3 times before we got our water.

The food was delicious and not too pricey. I took my parents to many ramen places but they always found it too salty. However, this place has great tasting food and they give you quite a large portion. The service was great too. They were very polite and they dont rush you to leave. Highly recommended!

Food didnt taste very authentic (Ive had ramen from all over in Japan). You cant compare many Japanese restaurants to Japan because I feel thats unfair, but the food really wasnt that good. The service, on the other hand, was excellent.

My first time here, I had the red dragon ramen. It was extremely flavorful. They dont skim on the meat or other toppings. Waitresses are very friendly and best of all, no line! Bye Daikokuya, this is my new spot.

They sell ramen to use only chicken! If someone cant eat something pork, you can go there! And its not too expensive and taste good I think! Also Tonkotsu ramen is yam!!

Really delicious pork in their Ramen here. The white Ramen is also pretty tasty! Lots of garlic here. Hopefully you enjoy garlic! Pretty good prices as well.

Average ramen, portion sizes seem small, broth was good and they were generous on the pork. I wasnt a fan of the noodles. The gyoza was not that good.

Stephanie Ha

The selection is pretty large. The broth is further enhanced by the crushed garlic. Theres usually no wait. Get the Takoyaki (fried octopus balls).

Andrew Tee

Awesome new ramen place with plenty of different soup bases and choices. Make sure you come if you like dipping ramen-tsukemen

Stanley Paez

Their "regular" level of spicy is more spicy than average. I really like the mushroom broth option, very unique and tasty.

Prices tend to lean to the expensive side but food tastes great. I would recommend number 1 on the dinner menu.

Ramen is good. The Curry is a little different from your usual Japanese curry places and its very good.

Food is always great, the servers are very nice and attentive and never a long wait to get seated.
