There's normally a line on weekends, but it's worth the wait to try at least once! The menu is pretty limited to ramen. Their stock is different from some other ramen joints in that it can be on the spicier side and has a lot more texture than traditional ramen. The noodles tend to be firmer, too. Since it is usually packed, service can be a bit slow. However, the floor staff do their best and you can find them bouncing around nonstop. I personally enjoy their soft shell crab ramen, although their grilled pork ramen is just as good!

Always saw this place when walking around, but only thought to go in recently. Great food that was surprisingly low calorie and full of flavor. Service was top notch, especially our waitress, Natalie. Attentive and fun to talk to. It's got a bit of a sleepy ambiance, so it was perfect for a date. Definitely recommend coming in if you have a small party or want something nice but not too nice 😉

This is one of those places where you either want to go with kids or buy the full package for. Doing any of the attractions by themselves is not worth the price of admission.

This location had tons more anime and manga than other locations. Clean and well organized, it's a great part of shopping at Uwajimaya

I was genuinely surprised how engaging the exhibits are. Some of them could use some TLC (like the surfing exhibit), but we easily spent two hours here and learned a lot about the Bay Area peninsula. Definitely recommend paying a visit if you live in the Bay or want to kill time while downtown.
