Ramen was good, the broth was thick and flavorful. Most of the appetizers are on point. Drinks are refreshing and esthetically pleasing to the eyes. In my opinion, I would skip the yakatoris as it's pricey and small in portion and not grilled to...Read More

This is a gem in Little Saigon. The food tastes great. It's a type of traditional ramen with some surprising touches. Great drinks menu, too.
