This is the closest Ive come to getting authentic Japanese ramen like I used to get in Japan. Ive had numerous things on the menu here and Ive loved them all. The food is outstanding. The service, on the other hand, could use some work. The waitresses are not always very friendly, especially if you dont tell them when youre ordering that you are planning to split your order [i.e. you and your coworker get lunch together but you plan on paying separately]. The owner/manager lady and some of the waitresses have been downright rude about it. When they first opened, they were the same way if your didnt tell them you were planning to put your tip on your credit card. That sends to have been remedied now though. All in all, I will continue to patronize this place because the only other place for Japanese ramen [on Military Hwy. behind Boston Market] just isnt very good.

Loved this place. Is a hidden gem. If you are looking for a unique dining experience with good food this place is worth the visit. The menu offers a variety of ramen options and service was good. Would have gave it 5 but the chef refused to substitute pork based ramen broth as request due to dietary needs. Otherwise worth the visit

The service is TERRIBLE. The waitress told us no rush but even though the restaurant closes in an hour she wouldnt take our order or serve us if we didnt order in the next 5 minutes. What a totally unprofessional place. They brought me a glass of water and it had a fingernail in it. Gross as heck. Never eat here.EVER

We were given so much ramen we couldnt even finish half! I got the house special for $12 which had about half a bowls worth of seafood. It was amazing. Really great staff who didnt mins my husband having to run off in the middle of lunch and stay a little past lunchtime closing. The octopus balls were delicious.

Delicious!!! The place was clean; there was only one server working, but he was doing a great job all by himself, and the food was definitely exceptional quality! Its not super cheap, but the prices arent unreasonable either.

Love this place. Its become one of our favorite local spots when we are craving ramen. Staff is always very nice and attentive. Everything weve tried on the menu is great. If you are a fan of ramen, this is a must check out.

Great waitress the night we were there. Good food and portion for what you pay. Chashu pork wasnt bad but not top notch. The soft boiled eggs could have been softer and fresher too. Well definitely go back

I lived in Japan for a very long time and this is the closest I have gotten. The food is amazing and the service was very friendly and fast. I will be coming at least three times a week or more.

Awesome food and excellent wait staff. Only complaint is the majority of the Ramen Dishes were pork based. There were non pork options though. I will definitely come back if Im on this side.

The service was terrible but the trade off is that the ramen was fantastic. Hope they can get a grip on service and understand how to apply it and treat people like people.

Food was great! Tried the Kappo Nara and it was really good; loved all the seafood that came with the noodles. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu.

Awful service, they dont care about you if you have a party of 4 or more because they charge you a tip automatically. On top of that the food is bland.

Awful service! Raman was OK. Very little noodles. Being Japanese its about the broth and noodles not all the toppings. Wheres the noodles?

Closest to the real thing that youll find overseas! The owners are very social and willing to talk to customers to make them feel welcome.

Food was bland. Gratuity added onto check and service was mediocre and not worth 18%. Dont recommend this but its good for a pinch.

Staff talks kinda louder than they should. Food was yummy. Would like to see shrimp tempura added to the menu.

For the area, this is good ramen. Spicy Miso is spicy and will have your nose running but so delicious.
