The ladies/owners of this establishment were very kind and welcoming! The food was good.
The location was inside of a larger building with other restaurants-a little odd and not that easy to find until you're up on the turn.

The inside gives diner or daytime lunch spot, but the food but the service made up for the lack of "atmosphere". But I was glad it wasn't too fancy since I had kiddos with me. They had the chicken "nuggets" which were so good. Not your average nugget #realmeat. The purple sweet potato tempura was something unique to have again. The adults had different things and we all liked our meals.

The prices overall were a little higher than I expected but still affordable (Ramen was $14.99/non-ramen dinner was between $14.99 and 24.99). I have eaten at several other ramen and sushi places that I liked just as much but the service here was far kinder. They took care of us and I appreciate that.

The variety and taste of the sushi was good (please note I mainly only eat veggie sushi or cooked meat in my sushi (shrimp tempura, fried salmon/tuna/eel) so I didn't try the sashimi or other raw sushi choices.

This is a slightly out of the way place with free parking. The place has a comfortable atmosphere and the servers are friendly. The food is not bad but I just don’t think it’s enough to bring me back. I had the okonomiyaki (bacon vegetable pancake), my wife had shrimp tempura and sushi, and my son had ramen. For appetizers we had gyoza. The best thing was the gyoza but everything else was average. The pancake had very little bacon. The shrimp was overcooked and rubbery. And the ramen had no flavor.

True to its name, it has been hands down some of the best ramen I've had.

The place is a rather small, quiet Japanese joint inside a commercial building, and unfortunately has no sushi at the moment, but the ramen and buns are extraordinary. Hearty and filling.

The experience and food was ok. Spicy Ramen is just spicy from the chili oil and no flavor. The pork chasu is just chewy meat that get stuck in your teeth. The yaki soba is ok, no flavor at all, and oily. The Takoyaki is good though.

Its Somewhat of a Hidden Gem...

Fresh, in front of you, made lovely Sushi.

The Beef Curry Ramen Noodles, was tasty but a bit over board on salt. HYPERTENSION ALERT!

WHY NOT a full blown hidden GEM: the place needs a bit of sprucing up.

But besides that:
SERVER was Awesome, attentive and very polite.

No inside bathrooms.

This place seems pretty lowkey. It's hidden away in a small building with other shops. The interior is very cute and cozy. The food is fairly priced with good portions.

I had the beef curry ramen, it tasted pretty good. I finished the whole bowl. The fried chicken appetizer was also tasty.

The server was very friendly and the food didn't take too long to come out.

I was very pleased with my visit :)

Found this gem by accident. A&J’s line got too long. So we came here. I’m glad we did, everything was well prepared and yummy. 4 stars.

Update 09/24/2022: seems like they changed ownership or something. But the food seems to be off. Just not as good as before. 3 stars.

Decent family run ramen joint. Service is decent; flavor is certainly homemade. Very cozy seating area and setup. The price is okay. The best they offer is their sushi 🍣 for sure. The soups were okay. Would certainly comeback for sushi and maybe not the soup. I still recommend for sure.
