" The ambiance of this restaurant is wonderful. They manage to create a cozy vibe while keeping it bustling. The yakitori is definitely worth trying, as is the miso ramen. A bit on the pricier side, but the quality makes it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by for lunch and had the pork belly over rice. It was good but nothing to write home about. The atmosphere is cozy, but the noise can get overwhelming, especially during busy hours. Service was on point, though, and that made a difference. " (*Curated Review*)

" This has become my go-to for ramen! The variety of the menu is impressive, and the level of customization really makes it unique. I enjoy their cold noodles during the hotter months — refreshing! " (*Curated Review*)
