"Can I give 20/5 stars? The Creamy Ramen (Vegan) is UNMATCHED, absolutely bomb (I recommend adding menma). And the Zen Ramen (Vegan) is just that wonderful, flavorful, almost sweet, classic ramen youre probably craving. Top notch vegetarian/vegan ramen. "
"Appreciated that everythingwas labeled perfectly by name for a shared order. Even the 4 spicy oil was super spicy, glad it arrives on side. The creamy vegan ramen was outstanding and huge portions we enjoyed half the next day and it was even tastier! would recommend an extra side of the kabocha - that was delicious. "

"Great classic Thai Milk Tea. Tonkotsu Ramen Combo includes a bowl full of noodles with handful of topings, including fish cake and two slices of pork, corns and bunch of other greens. Generous amount of broth, would be enought for 1.5 bowls that they serve. The side includes 2 dumplings and 3 rolls (with wasabi and packet of soy sauce). "

The Thai Milk Tea is so good i am yet to try the gyoza but i bet their gonna be good too they even come with a little sauce se me hace agua a la boca i would order again its joining my favs also its a hefty amount of food. all i hadwas great 100% recommend"

"I got the BEEF DONBURI combo and was so satisfied. Not only are the rice bowl and udon extremely tasty, but they also come in very generous portions. I was able to eat the combo over two full meals! "
"The food arrived spill-free. The portion of the food was just right for one person. The pork was a little tough and was missing the krispy aspect because it was packaged with the egg and rice. Other than that, I would recommend eating in-house versus delivery."

"The Spicy Vegetarian Ramen was a good amount of spicy. The portion was big. I got the soy base and it was creamy but not super creamy. It was good but idk if it's good enough for the price. "
"Soooo delicious! We ordered extra noodles, but it was way tooo much unless you are starving! The portions are very large. The soup was hot, the karaage was fresh, juicy and crunchy, despite the delivery! We got the deluxe spicy. It wasn't very spicy at all, but that allowed for the flavor of the broth to shine too. The gyoza were absolutely amazing. Oh my goodness. Great, flavorful, cozy meal! I will definitely be ordering this next time I'm having a lazy Saturday afternoon! Yummm!"

"Steak Teriyaki and the Lamb Chop was delicious, well seasoned. We split the 2 Items Bento between us. The Geos Karaage was perfectly fried. Loves the tentacle, It was not enough for 2 . Wished we ordered one for each of us. Gyoza skin was so light and thin. The pork and vegetable filling was tasty. Everything as awesome, packing was good, no spilling and nice and hot. Will order these again soon."
"This is a superb 3 Items Bento! It's fresh and there was not one element that wasn't delicious. The portion was amazing the shrimp was bigger than I imagined so very worth the price. I'll definitely order this again! I got the teriyaki salmon, california roll, and shrimp tempura. Comes with rice, salad, miso, and pickled radish. The california roll was so creamy with the crab and avocado basically melting in your mouth! the wasabi was so much better than any imitation wasabi with a hint of sweetness behind the heat. The shrimp was crispy and filling and if i'm being honest i didn't even really need the sauce it was so good even without added flavor and tasted so fresh! Absolutely mouth watering and addictive. The salmon had a crispy skin that was so delicious with the fresh sticky rice. The sauce is also very good it tastes homemade which made it that much better. The miso is also really good while i'd have loved a bit more tofu and seaweed it was very filling. The seaweed isn't rubbery and the tofu melted like nothing i've had before! Lastly the salad was so fresh and crisp and the pickled radish was sooooo gooooooood! It's got a hint of sesame oil on both and it's so mouth watering. 100/10 meal"

"I haven't been to tasty pot in forever but even getting it delivered tasted just the same AND the takeout container is super cute. 9. Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Soup was perfect and way too much for me to finish, which was perfect because i can just put it away for leftovers since they're so generous with toppings. I usually devour my meat first immediately but oof i think i only got through half before tapping out. This is the best value meal I've had in this area on doordash"

"Ordered the Tenderloin Prawns Katsu with Pork Tenderloin Katsu, it did not come with any sauce or salad dressing for the shredded cabbage. The photo showed miso soup but it doesn't come with that either. The food tasted fine and surprisingly crispy for delivery but portions were small and underwhelming for the price.

"Food was delicious, but I wish the menu mentioned how many each serving came with because I definitely over ordered for little ol me. But I like yakitori skewers and I appreciated that they did not put bonito flakes on my Blistered Shishito due to my allergy! The Tsukune also comes with egg yolk (not pictured but was provided). I also normally don't care for pineapple but decided to try the A-5 Miyazaki Wagyu with Pineapple and it was wonderful!"
"Spend $30 on the tiniest portion of Sashimi Sampler. Also the Millionaire Tonkotsu has no flavor whatsoever (the egg was the only redeeming part of this ramen). The Takowasa was pretty good which was the only decent thing that I was given."

"Excellent. Food is very flavorful and freshly made.. Cooked with love and to perfection. Arrived hot and neatly packed, good-sized portions. It's worth the affordable price. My 1st time ordering from this place will definitely be ordering again. Curry Chicken Rice Plate咖喱鸡飯 It was so yummy! Cooked to perfection. Loved it. Lots of flavor. The only issue I had was it only had 3 small size pieces of chicken. It was more of a potatoe and onion curry than a chicken curry. Other than that, everything was perfect. Sweet and Sour Cod Fillet Rice 甜酸鱼飯 Yummy. "Cooked to perfection. Made with love. Shrimp Dumplings (4)虾餃 Yummy. Cooked to perfection. Made with love."
"The Stir-fried Chicken with Lotus Root鸡肉炒莲藕 has really good flavor. The lotus was nice and crispy (in a tender vegetable way) and the chicken was silky, not dry or stringy. The menu photo showed Chinese sausage but I didn't get any in my order. Maybe they forgot to add it? The Green Onion Pancake (2)葱油餅 was not the flaky, oily, crispy, roti type of pancake. This was more like a onion steamed bread that was pan fried. It was denser and quite filling. I enjoyed them."
