"I appreciate the care in packaging; everything arrived separated, so it was tasty/not soggy by the time it got to me. The noodles are great, and the sauce was favorful. Next time, I'd skip the marinated egg-- it had zero color/taste and was overcooked. I appreciated the size of the tempura I got, but it was unfortunately stone cold. Still tasty though!"
"delicious! there was a bit of a wait but I think it's due to dinner hours. I got the Chicken Katsu Curry and the Kake . everything came nearly packaged & was very delicious. curry is mild, how I prefer :)"

"I don't even have words. First, the food is AMAZING. I ordered a rice bowl with modifications and my kids each ordered Ramen, and they're SO GOOD. Also, on our order, they missed the desserts but Doordash makes it really easy to reorder without any extra fees. When I say we were shocked when our desserts arrived... They included several various extra desserts, some the same and some different ones... Again, we are SHOCKED and it made our night!!!!! The also included a quick little handwritten note. We would've ordered from them again anyway because the food is so good, but they're definitely moved to the top just because of how thoughtful they are. DEFINITELY recommend, due to both the quality of the food and the people!"
"Not one to leave reviews, but this place was amazing! Great flavorful ramen, with large portions. We ordered the Chicken Ramen, an option hard to find at most restaurants, let alone ones that are good quality. This one was so flavorful, it's become our favorite so far. The store was also so nice, I ended up calling as I accidentally selected miso chicken base instead of shio, and they were very accommodating and made sure to check that we got exactly what we wanted at pickup. Very satisfied and highly reccomend!"

"Everything tasted great. The Shrimp Steamed Dumpling (4) was hot and fresh. The C35. Crispy Fried Shrimp Balls (3) and the C33. Fried Taro Dumpling with Pork (3) were fried to a crispy perfection. The Kid's Cha-Shu Pork Bowl Meal ( Grill Pork Belly) was way more than enough food for my child. The C34. Fried Sticky Pork Dumpling (3) was a ball of crispy and sticky goodness.

"Japanese Curry w/ Karaage Garlic Tonkotsu Large Pork Chashu Don were all excellent portions they came at peak freshness and was nice and warm it really revved my appetite for sure, Nice portions and I was worried about there being little broth but holy smokes! the Garlic Tonkotsu had plenty of broth and i dont know why i ordered extra broth when they didnt skimp out at all! Japanese Curry w/ Karaage had a delicious smell though I was mildly disappointed with the amount of curry I feel like it was the appropriate amount so kudos! Garlic Tonkotsu had a nice salty punch I was looking for and the noodles were soft and chewy, dont get me started on the Large Pork Chashu Don holy mackeral! either they go big or go home and the slices were biiig! i would order this again 10/10!"

"Combo Plate Their kalua pork and cabbage is always so decadently smoky and homey, the perfect compliment with rice for those down days when you just need something that tastes like a warm comforting hug from home. Tuna mac salad is a staple favorite from them for a good reason, truly the perfect balance of creamy umami without being over powering in every bite!"
"Ordered the Shrimp Tempura Musubi and a double Loco Moco (Hamburger). Both were delicious! The tempura is just okay. It's a frozen brand I have bought before and didn't love because the breading is very thick for how small the shrimp is. The musubi could also use like.. half the rice. That said, the combo of fried food, rice, and spicy mayo is still gonna be tasty! Everything in the loco moco was cooked perfectly! It needed just a dash of salt, to me, but overall it was great."

"the Curry Katsu Donburi Curry Katsu Donburiカレ-かつ丼 was crunchy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside and the skin/breading was not slipping off like most do, the Zaru Soba Zaru Soba / さるそば was refreshing, very fresh taste, noodles are amazing quality, although my only concern was that the wasabi was in the same container the green onions were so I, as a green onion enjoyer, dumped the entire thing of wasabi in my noodles unknowingly... I had to rinse my noodles. The green onions blended in with how green the wasabi is and so I ate a whole thing of it, but to be fair, I can say that their wasabi is fresh!"
"Curry Wagyu Sirloin With Omelet Rice has the thinnest almost transparent sheet I think was the eggs. It's so thin I couldn't taste to confirm if it was egg or not. The meat was soft. Only a few thin slices. The whole container is filled with plain white rice. Only a few bites of meat and the maybe egg on top. Curry Katsu With Omelet Rice is still mostly white rice, but the chicken is more substantial. Garlic Beef X2 Prime Strip Loin was tasty. Be prepared for extremely small portions. You can spend close to $100 in this restaurant, and it will only be a light snack. Unless you want to gorge yourself on white rice."
