"The Bold Ramen was spicy, thick and flavorful. The chicken NEW: Hard Crunch Karaage is the best I've had in a long time. Probably the best you can get in these parts."
"The quality of the tatsu has noticeably gone downhill. The biggest disappointment was the broth, which was served in such a small quantity that there was barely enough to properly enjoy the ramen. The overall consistency of the dish was also really bad, and the quality was not what I expected. For a restaurant that specializes in ramen, having so little broth and such poor consistency is especially disappointing. Considering the price, I expected a much better portion and overall quality."

"Tonkotsu Ramen should have more broth"
"Item was missing at pickup, the lady confirmed the name, pointed at the bag and said that's it while she keep in serving food. Never mentioned no Karaage because they were out. The ramen broth was not even half full in the container and the bottom is more narrow. Noodles weren't covered and soaked up everything. I liked their food on prior delivery. Picked up today and the location looked nice. But the smell of cleaners was overpowering. The bad service is I called once home to say item was missing and she claimed to refund me. I think they really didn't want to honor their discounts/promotions."

"Delicious taste & the fish was extremely fresh! It didn't have that fishy odor like when it starts to go bad. The spicy Spicy Salmon, Black Tobiko (Wrap) was actually spicy which I loved. I'm a bit spicy food lover and this one wasn't a nice little kick but not overwhelmingly spicy. I will definitely be ordering again! The size of the Poki Bowl was a really good portion which filled me up & didn't make me feel so full which was great."
