We finally stopped to try their food! This is a small but homie place, owners are friendly, have it nicely organized. I loved the Pork Gyoza, the shrimp Shumai, my grilled chicken bowl was nice and filling. My husband had a Ramen soup, which he loved and I was not crazy about bubba tea, but my daughter gave me a sip of her coconut tea and it was really good! It is a quick service place, I saw people coming in and out with their teas and young kids sitting down and talking over ramen. We had a nice experience.
This place is an absolute hidden gem. So fresh, huge bowl, amazing toppings. Its one of the best poke bowls I have ever eaten. Had a chat with the owner who is so dedicated ans friendly!
Best place to eat. Everything's well made and you won't be disappointed. You get your money's worth and a lasting meal. The bubble tea is also very cheap and great for its price
Best poke bowl ever! The ingredients they use are so fresh. Sauce is delicious too. Very tasty and healthy. Super nice service! I would rather have poke bowl there every day!
Simple little place with some tables to sit should you choose to. Overall wasn't bad but, in my experience, the price isn't justified.
Traditional Noodles, Tonkatsu Style:
Noodles were OK. Weren't the best tasting
Broth was thick and not oily. Overall flavorful
Toppings was lacking for its price point: Bean Sprouts, 3 slices of chasu, corn, 2 pieces of bok choy
The chasu was cooked to a good consistency (had a good firmness) but lacking in flavor
Chili oil offered for spice but not the traditional spicy paste
Portion itself wasn't a bad size
Cost of bowl $14 pre-tax
Tapioca Milk Tea:
Good sweetness
Tall serving
Tapioca was well made
Overall worth the price
$5.50 pre-tax
Combined total: $22 including tax
Conclusion:
Good place for a lunch but not worth the price. I've had similar ramen for $9 - $10 and for its current price point, Ni Ramen (just 3 blocks away) has more to offer.
*Chopsticks are very cheap. Splintered and leaves small shreds thst get into the soup.
