KANPAI - Sushi, Noodle, & Sake Bar

Love this place !! I’ve gone a couple of times and it’s super delicious! It’s a very modern style sushi bar with some nice sushi roll ideas and other yummy ramen things. BLT ROLL, IS LIFE ! Plus it stays open late ! Definitively recommend eating and/or having drinks here.

Amazing food and staff. I had the house ramen, it was delightfully rich and not too salty, leaves room to season if you like Saltier or spicy food. I also had a California roll and 2 orders of the ahi roll both tasteful and presented beautifully. Wide variety of liquor, beer and cocktails. Some servings of beer are large and can be shared in a party i.e sake bombs or the hitachino line of beer.

Great Ramen. The drinks were pricey but very good. Pineapple sake margarita was delicious. Wife had a pineapple mule with pineapple infused vodka. The setting was awesome and the music was on point! Best meal we have had in Hilo thus far.

Just stopped by for a drink and an appetizer. Had good specials. Liked the sake sampler. Service was super fast.

Fantastic ramen, sushi, and sake selection. Best ramen I've had. Clean place and friendly atmosphere. Second visit and will definitely be back!

Good miso soup. Had kanpai roll which had a bit too much bacon for me and also quite salty. Also had honolii roll which was good. Tried their sake margarita which I enjoyed. Service was great, staff very friendly.

Great little spot! Sushi was all very good and fresh! Service was on point!! I also had the ramen which was SUPER GOOD!!

Always love eating here. Nice atmosphere, nice staff, great sushi and sake.

Small sashimi combo overpriced for $55. Some pieces purposely cut in diagonally into smaller pieces and purposely put on top of a big ice bowl to make the fish pieces look bigger. Not worth it. In addition, when the waiter brought the sushi to the table, without asking he immediately turn the prettier side of the sushi set toward my husband when i was the one who ordered the sushi. When my husband asked for a take out box, the waiter walked over and handed me the box directly as if all women/wives should pack left over food. Very sexist and offensive.

Came in on a Friday night for me and my daughter's weekly dinner date. The staff was very welcoming & the layout of the restaurant was perfect. I tucked my daughter's stroller and myself in the back corner as they offered to have me sit wherever was open. I started off with a miso soup which has the option to be spicy. I have never tried something like this but it was so delicious! The flavor is like no other and the miso is fresh and doesn't have the instant miso taste. I got a sake margarita as a beverage, another item I have never tried before or seen at another restaurant. The amount of alcohol was perfect. The negitoro roll was perfect. The omakase chef choice was also amazing. Every piece was fresh and soooo delicious. The hamachi carpaccio was amazing as well. I have been waiting for a good sushi place in Hilo that doesn't require a reservation a year in advance haha and I finally found it. Thank you Moms Hilo for bringing the authentic Japanese cuisine to Hilo that we all needed!

Cute place and good service. The food just wasn't doing the most for me, I got simple rolls and they were kinda pricey. The special rolls were averaging about $25. For the not the best selection and kinda pricey, this place just wasn't for me.

Now, there's a deeper reason why my heart ventured into Downtown Hilo and towards this location for dinner. A parking spot in front of the restaurant, it was meant to be. Here it is. This place is called Moms Hilo. Now with that first word as part of this eatery's name, that's some living up to do. Can this place really set the vibe, so much so with the food and ambiance and overall experience, that it can proudly call itself Moms? I was about to find out as I snapped a picture of the entrance fronting Keawe Street. Looking-in before entering, I already knew I would be writing about this place. A cozy, intimate dining room with cute booths tucked against the wall, an actual sushi bar opposite of the booths, high top tables placed in the middle and, a small bar in the corner. The dining room set-up was welcoming, everything placed perfectly so much, it was visually pleasing to the eye. But, the lighting was even more impressive. A combination of lanterns, spots lights from the ceiling and, Christmas lights hanging just in the right place. Magical. Just like my home, I felt like I just walked into my house. The decor, use of colors, how everything made it just so inviting, it was awe inspiring. I sat down in a booth, feeling like I was ready for a meal cooked by someone's mom, even better, my own mom. I've missed my mom's cooking for over two weeks now, hoping as she gets better, I'll soon be able to enjoy her cooking once again. The broth of the Udon made me tear more than once while I was eating. An emotional moment. You know, when your mom cooks homemade soup and works on that dish with so much time, and care and most importantly love? Well, my mom does. And this Udon broth reminded me of that geniune care she used to place into her cooking. The dish is called Moms Kake Udon Soup, a rightful name choice, a dish this place should proud of. The broth, pure simplicity. You can tell it was made from scratch and with lots of care though, with layers of flavors. Absolutely amazing. The Udon noodles were cooked perfectly, mild in flavor, allowing the delicious broth to really shine. The Ajitama Tamago, or the ramen egg was divine. Yolk just soft enough but not runny, but not cooked all the way through either, dipped in soy sauce; delicious. The Udon was also topped with two juicy pork slices seasoned beautifully, kamaboko (fishcake) slices, a piece of shrimp tempura, mushroom slices and, green onions. I got so emotional over this dish, I had to write about if first. But my appetizer and cocktail were equally as good. A margarita with tequila and sake, I had to try it. Plus I'm a sucker for anything with a li hing mui rim. Sign me up. Over crushed ice and mixed with my choice of pineapple juice, this is a cocktail I would recommend. It paired well with my Inari Bombs. Back seven years ago, there was a place called Cousins in Hilo. They made these amazing poke bombs and when they closed down, I really couldn't find anywhere in Hilo that compares to that style of preparation. Until now, and done even better. This appetizer, Inari Bombs at Moms Hilo, was prepared with even more care at the sushi bar, where the sushi chefs created this edible work of art. Sushi rice shaped by hand to not only fit inside the fried soybean pockets, but artfully crafted to keep its shape even after taking multiple bites. Topped with spicy ahi, drizzles of spicy aoili and, sweet unagi glaze, these bombs were finished with green onions, sesame seeds and, tobiko (fish caviar). Divine. Now when someone enters your mom's house like mine as a guest, mom welcomes them with a warm embrace even without physical contact. Or, I know you remember going to a friend's parent's house per say and experiencing the same. You feel like family right off the bat, even when its your first time being there, right? There's a connection, a warmth. It's inviting, comforting, loving. That's how I felt walking into Moms Hilo for the first time. Service by the team, how they engaged with me either by actual guest service or by means of culinary preparation plus more, was pure genius. Service that was tailored perfect mind you, a part of the theming of Moms Hilo that really shined. Honestly it was that good, done extremely well in a true, geniune way. An overall dining experience with lots of heart, care, love and, charm. Just like mom would. She would be proud.

Brought two friends with me who had never been to Mom's before. They absolutely loved it. It was a very busy evening and they were short staffed, but still took good care of all their customers and the food came out delicious and hot. I have a yakitori noodles with chicken and my friend had the tan tan noodles and my other friend had some sushi. They loved it! I'm happy to see a small business thriving. I'm adding some more pictures.

Amazing updated menu. I love the garlic yakisoba noodles, so yummy. Staff is kind and friendly. Great date night spot or gathering spot with friends.

My dad had a salad and udon. I had the sushi plate and hamachi kama. Food and service was excellent. Best sushi in Hilo guaranteed.

Very delicious and satisfying dinner! They open at 430 pm so an early dinner to beat the crowd and quicker service. We didn't have to wait long for appetizers of smashed Q salad and smashed Q sushi...both super delicious and gone before I could get a pic. The eating area is comfortable and designed well and we noticed an area for private parties! Will definitely go again!

Best California roll in town! Make with real crab. And I can't explain the flavor but it is DELICIOUS. Ate 2 rolls just to myself. Service was fast and the vibe of this place is great.

We went to Moms Hilo for the first time to celebrate my son's birthday. The food was delicious and service was awesome! So far, it's the best Japanese food that we've had in Hilo! We will be back!

We had the tan tan noodles , the char Siu noodles, and the chicken donburi. Note that char Siu is the braised pork type and not the roasted oven type. Everyone liked their meals. The Mai Tai was a little sweet. Drink prices are reasonable. For a Monday it was busy and they had a singer too.

We loved Mom's! They were very accommodating for our large group, food was delicious!

Place was nice and clean. Servers were friendly and happy to be there. We loved all the sushi that we ordered! Excellent, we will definitely go back when we're in Hilo again!

Came for my bf birthday. On a Friday. Service was fast. Staff was consistent. Food was great. As always! 10/10

Service is terrible, we couldn't get any help and tried to order many times. The food was decent.

Food is consistently good. Staff are friendly and music is always on point. 10/10 my favorite Hilo restaurant

This was not included in out list to grab meal here. Because most restaurants in Hilo closes at 9pm we are forced to dine here. And fortunately t'was a surprise for us. We were greeted upon entering. There are only three groups of people dining in and personally I'm a bit skeptical on what will be the food here. Then we were seated and love that they got high chairs! I'm the happiest! LoL. Menu was handed to us and it's not extensive which I somehow like it. The staff is pretty nice and efficient and did check on us thrice which I appreciate. FOOD: Mixed Salad ($7), comes with assorted vegetables of the season with Japanese Sesame Dressing. It was full of flavor and with the price, it's a bit generous for one person. Texture is pretty good and love the bowl presentation. You gotta grab this! Yakitori Bites ($8), chicken bites made in yakitori style. It was tasty! The best yakitori that I ever had in Hawaii. plate presentation is professionally done. The best ever! Saucy and its meat is tender. Very appetizing indeed! Smashed Q ($5), cucumber with original garlic dressing is superb! You gotta grab this too!everything on this plate is wrapped with flavor and goodness. Tan Tan Noodle ($12), noodles falvored with sesame paste topped with miso ground pork & spring onion. Full of flavor and tasty. A bit salty though but still good! It's a soupless noodle and I seldom have one. This one really hit the spot! Char Siu Noodle ($15), noodles flavored with shoyu sauce topped with 8 pcs of char siu & vegetables. The best! Bandit did enjoy his soupless bowl. He love it that he don't want to share his. LoL. Flavorful and tasty as well. The noodles are cooked just right! Highly recommended by the bandits! You won't regret. Their menu are simple and straightforward. Price is reasonable as well. This may be a bar half bar place to chill but this is pretty good to grab kines here. Give it 4-star as the people preparing our meal didn't fully put their mask up to the nose. Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow yeeps!

We stopped in after a day of hiking waterfalls. We were famished by the time the sun set. We had all the vegetarian items. My kids (age 4 and 6) inhaled 3 bowls of edamame. My 6 year old ate two avocado rolls. The rice and noodles were so good. I even struggled to get my face out of the salad bowl. Service and ambiance exceeded expectations. Good people. Good food. The bathroom is outside, down the walkway. You need a key.

I come here every time we visit Hilo, love the tan tan noddles as well as the char siu. Can't get anything like this anywhere I've visited .

Really great casual Japanese with a cozy atmosphere and excellent options for both meat eaters and vegtarians. A touch salty, but it feels like the big island leans a bit salty in general, so compared to some places it's actually pretty restrained. The hot and cold noodles are particularly good with a lot of attention to detail paid to all the toppings. The inside has a really cool cozy feel to it that I can't capture. You'll have to experience it.

Whoa!!! We found this awesome place while walking around Downtown Hilo. Read the Yelp reviews about udon without broth. That's exactly what it is but you don't need the broth because the sauce is amazing!!! This is a small establishment run buy a young guy. Sushi bar seating, a long bistro table in the center, and a few booths and tables along the sides. Great college vibe with reggae music playing in the background. We didn't have reservations but luckily they were able to seat us. Then all of a sudden, the place was packed! The waitress, Lindsey, recommended everything that we ordered and she did not disappoint! She was also super friendly and cool. This is what we ordered: Miso pork roll - The miso flavor is soooo good, we ordered another one. Char Siu roll - Another popular sushi roll with roasted pork Tan Tan Noodles with Ajitama Egg - Our favorite!! It is a dry udon dish with the miso sauce. So flavorful and delicious, we ordered another bowl. You have the choice of hot or cold noodles, and different spice levels. Veggie Noodles - These noodles can be hot or cold. We ordered this one cold. A green salad and a nice assortment of veggies sat on top of the noodles with the dressing on the bottom. Make sure you mix everything in the bowl to get the noodles coated because that dressing is so delicious too! Ahi Misopaccio - Wow! It's like a tuna tartar with avocado, mac nuts all sitting on a sea of miso! Fantastic!!! Hamachi Carpaccio - thin slices of hamachi with jalapeño and a drop of spice. Also very good. Hard to believe there are only 19 reviews for this place. More people need to try Moms Hilo.

The food is better than average. Menu is expensive and the portions are small. Nice atmosphere.

We were looking for vegetarian food and found Moms. Order the cold noodle , hot noodle and vegetarian sushi

Moms is by far the best dive bar I have ever been to in-terms of food, drinks, and attention to detail. I highly recommend stopping by for the fresh fish of the day and the sake. Btw, Holly has the best sake selection on the island so make sure to ask for their sake sample of the day.

Food was excellent ! Sushi super fresh! Ambiance was welcoming. Highly reoommend. Nice to have another great place in Hilo!

Enjoyed at delicious dinner at Moms Hilo. Great Sushi and Japanese cuisine. Our waitress Lindsay was attentive, professional and very cheerful. We had their Sushi Fresh Local Avocado Roll - which was light abd refreshing Smashed Q salad - very tasty and definitely delicious We both picked something from their Huihui Noodles I tried their Char Siu Noodle - noodles flavored with Shoyu Sayand topped with fresh vegetables- also very tasty My boyfriend had their Tan Tan Noodles - noodles flavored with sesame paste, topped with Miso ground pork (I loved the flavor) and topped with fresh vegetables Definitely will go back and try more of their sushi rolls and the Chef Specials. Although the restaurant was extremely busy our waitress Lindsay was wonderful. Highly recommend.

The food is fresh and flavorful. The Charsiu-don, tantan men, yakitori appetizer and the ahi carpaccio were among the dishes we enjoyed. The staff is friendly and welcoming. It was clean and the music was nice too.

Soupless ramen? SAY WHAAAT. Count me in! When I heard about this place having soupless ramen, I knew I had to drag some friends with me to try this place out. It took over the old location of Kanpai (rip, didn't get a chance to try it sad) in Downtown. I'm not too sure on whether they have stalls in this parking lot area.... but there are street parking around the area though limited. My roommate and I both got the soupless tantanmen as hot noodles (choice of hot or cold) and spicy level (choice of no spicy or spicy). The dish had the minced pork with cucumbers and seasoned beansprouts and carrots topped over the flavored noodles. It almost looked like a bibimbap with the same concept of mixing everything together. Loved the vegetables! They were seasoned nicely like a tinge of sweetness. The noodles were thick with a soft and chewy texture. The flavor of the entire dish, though, was the winner. It was perfectly seasoned with a creeping spiciness as I continued to eat. This dish really tested my current spice tolerance which definitely is lowering. I tried their shoyu one with char siu and ajitama egg on another day with no spicy, and it did not disappoint. Delicious! Just a tad too salty at the end. I enjoyed their soupless ramen. My other friends for the salad which had a delicious dressing with a tinge of sweetness; the chicken yakitori donburi which was also sweetish and seasoned really nicely (delicious); and the char siu donburi which was thinly cut with a delicious sauce on top. The presentation on the char siu donburi was amazing and the pork wasn't over cooked with just the perfect chew to it. All my friends, including myself, really enjoyed our time here. This newly opened restaurant is definitely going to be a regular place for me soon! Portions are big and prices aren't that bad.

One of our very favorite spots to eat in Hilo!! We came across it by accident one day when we were looking for a place to eat, and were so happy we did! Lindsey was our server the first time, and actually every time we've been there. The food was AMAZING!!! You can just tell that so much love and time is put into every dish. I was literally licking the plate clean afterwards. The vibes in there are awesome, and everyone who works there including the chefs are so friendly and cool. Mahalo Moms!!

The food was pretty good, but the wait to get our food was RIDICULOUS. The restaurant was about half full, there were two wait staff, and three cooks that we could see. We got our appetizer 20 minutes after ordering, kappa maki 40 minutes after ordering, and noodles ONE HOUR after ordering. We were there for about an hour and fifteen minutes. We ordered a smashed cucumber appetizer, kappa maki, tan tan noodle, char siu noodle, and veggie noodle. The smashed cucumbers were good -- a little spicier than I've had before. Tan tan noodle was tasty enough, but I wouldn't order it again since the ground pork wasn't especially flavored, and kind of falls off and ends up in a saucy slurry at the end. Veggie noodles were light and refreshing. If you want to go somewhere to hang out with people and chat forever, this place is great. If you're hungry and want to eat, I don't recommend this restaurant.

I've been to Mom's three different times in 2 years. Each time with a different experience. First time I went around 5:30 with Lindsey as our server. The specials were written on a chalk board. We sat at the tall table overlooking the food being prepared. There were maybe 2 other tables with people. Lindsay recommended the specials and smashed q salad. We ordered beers and the ahi misopacchio, ahi carpacchio, smashed q salad. The ahi misopacchio was so damn good we immediately ordered one more. The Sapporo beer was super cold. We also ordered the oyster shooters, more beer, cali roll. They were so yummy. Ended up ordering Veggie noodles with ajitama egg and charsiu pork, my son ordered the unagi sushi and tan tan noodles. We shoulda stopped at the oyster shooters but the party vibe was too good, pumping reggae and jazz, cold beer. By 6:30 the place was packed. We went early and had excellent service! There were many takeout orders since it was just opening up after covid. Second time 2 weeks later I went with hubby at 7:30. The place was packed, seeing that there were 2 food preppers, we knew the wait was gonna be long, but we went in expecting to have cold beers and sake and didn't mind waiting for our food. We ordered the tantan noodles and veggie noodles, and started with shoyu garlic edamame. Holly was our server, she informed us that the food was going to take longer since there were many takeout orders. The drinks, crowd, ambience at the later hour was a good first date kinda place, where you could talk to each other while sipping on your drink, and being able to enjoy the music. We just went to Mom's this Monday. We went at 4:30, son, daughter, her hubs, 2 year old son, my hubs, his sister. Ordered everything early hamachi carpachio 2x, sushis, our noodle dishes, sake coolers, beers. Good thing! There was live Hawaiian reggae music at 6:00, then wham! The place was so full! Again, there were many takeout orders, orders by later diners took a little more time. The food was delicious like the first and second times I went. If you want fast food, then go to that other sushi place at the mall. The menu at Mom's is simple. But what you'll get is fresh fish and noodle dishes that are prepared with love and unlike the expensive, expansive sushi bars, or the automated mall sushi place. Our waitress was more on the shy side and we had to wave her down several times. You have choices. Your experience will be determined by your expectations. We had 3 different experiences the 3 times we went to Mom's. But if you go late, expect to have a cold beer or sake, chill, enjoy the music, the person you're with and the food! No more ahi misopacchio! That was so bomb!

Great place. Very tasty noodles. This place is definitely overlooked by the crowd. There is never a wait.

This place smelled wonderful when I walked by earlier, so I was eager to try it for dinner. Char siu noodles were too sweet - edible but disappointing. The unagi/yakitori chix donburi was decent. Customer service was a bit slow and just a little odd.

Well...not much of a sushi selection. Very basic rolls. The salmon and cream cheese roll was salmon and mozzarella cheese stick. Disappointing especially for a tourist destination. Service was slow!

So this makes sense. Again, I'm making assumptions, but Hawaii Japanese gotta be a bump up from mainland (and don't even get me started on Boston). The food was excellent and my server was super nice. She even set up an outdoor table for me to deal with my covid neuroses. I got the "soupless ramen", which, unsurprisingly, was a delicious bowl of noodles. It was also definitely enough for a meal and a half, even for a lonely glutton like myself. More please.

Nice place with a great waitress whos customer service made the experience 10x better. Wish I had gotten her name and I did not. Anyway, stop here. Nothing fancy. Just good ambiance, great customer service and delicious food priced fairly. Do have the desserts that are made here, super yummy and not overly sweet.

Great noodles & drinks. Relaxed atmosphere & friendly staff. Shoyu noodles w egg & some fresh ahi are my go to.

the food was simply amazing. the decor was cute and cozy and the servers were very timely. try the carpaccio you won't be disappointed.

We had an excellent dinner at Moms. Nice atmosphere with tasty offerings. We went on a week night, so maybe it was quieter than usual. It was a great change from some of the other crowded and noisy restaurants. I started with the mixed salad which was one of the best salads I've had in Hilo. I also had the Tan Tan Ramen with pork. The dry noodles were different, but full of flavor! My wife had the Veggie Noodles and loved it! This is our new and favorite restaurant! We didn't wait too long for our meals and didn't mind. I think the food was carefully prepared with good umami and I don't always like to be rushed out at restaurants. We'll be back to enjoy some of the other dishes.

Great food, but very slow service, don't come starving. Such tasty spicy ahi rolls, wanted to order another, but server discouraged me bc 9 orders ahead and would be a wait. Hope they get more wait staff soon or just decide to not have as many guests at one time.

I had Inari, Tan Tan noodle, and Hamachi carpaccio. Everything was so tasty and I definitely go back there!!! I wanna try Donburi next time.

Best noodles in hilo! Just stopped in and tried their tan tan noodles. The ground miso pork had a TON of flavor, the noodles were thick and chewy (I wouldn't be surprised if they were made from scratch), and it came with a side of thick spicy miso broth that was absolutely killer. I got it with an ajitama egg, and man this thing is just an umami bomb.. Can't wait to come back and try the other things they have here!

It was the perfect place to land after a day traveling around the big island and seeing volcano national park. We landed in the evening on a rainy night. All of the food was pretty darn good. My wife found a new beer that she liked! Parking was a little rough, but there was construction at the time.

We arrived maybe just past 5pm. Friendly staff, everyone behind the counter welcomed us (and I was surprised when everyone also noticed when we were leaving and stopped what they were doing briefly to say goodbye). We were celebrating a birthday between the two of us and started with the smashed 'cukes, which were very well seasoned and SUPER crunchy. I don't think I ever tasted such crunch, seemed like those 'cukes just came out a very cold fridge. I was delighted by the texture. The pork roll was hefty! Definitely a two bite roll. Our drinks were great, I ordered 2 rounds of the Sakura Sours, made with Suntory Whiskey Toki (I think). Our warm bowls of Tan Tan 'noods and Chicken Donburri were comforting. My 'noods were ordered 'spicy' but I didn't notice strong spice or heat, but it was still tasty. Since we were still working on 2nd drinks we decided to order carpaccio, I think it was ahi? I was expecting thin slices but we got generous triangles. My husband loved it! I thought all the menu prices were so reasonable and comparably similar establishments charge more. Not to mention there was good live music! I'm mean, what more can you possibly ask for when spending a night out? Mahalo Moms you made us feel like a million bucks.

We loved this place so much, we went there twice during our stay. Nothing fancy at all, it's a small and casual Japanese, sushi and fusion place. But there was live music on a guitar in the corner, the menu was creative and delicious, and the fish very fresh. Vegetation choices much better than most places, very fresh ingredients and flavorful. The wait staff was welcoming, willing to make suggestions, awesome experience all the way around. Love supporting local small businesses - and so great when they get it right. When we are traveling, we crave places that serve fresh, healthy food. We will go again next time we are in Hilo!

Fourteen of us showed up at this small place without a reservation, and they took us in. We had to wait outside for a few minutes while they set up the karaoke room to seat us. Kayla the server was very attentive, giving the kids a chalk board and toys to keep them busy. She even talked to the chef to modify a few dishes for the gluten free folks in our group. The food was delicious, but yes the service was slow, and one dish was missed, but corrected quickly. Kayla was very eager to make things right. If you are in the area , please give them a try.

So disappointed all the way around. Service was so slooow, but she finally brought out my dish. But she never brought my son's plate. Even after I asked twice. Every other table that came in after us got their meals, so I pointed that out and she shrugged. I was shocked at the lack of concern by our server. An hour and a half later, I finally told her to cancel my son's plate and just give me the bill. I get the bill and she's charged me for my son's plate that never came! I understand short staff, and I even understand cook's accidentally overlooking an order during a rush... but to charge me for a dish that we never got???

This place was an unexpected delight. The food was amazing and top quality. Would of been 5 stars BUT Service started out strong but when some of the regulars came, everyone else got forgotten. We had to ask for sauces 4 times (and still never got it) also ordered some cocktails (never got those) and one of our rolls was forgotten (but we did get that!) and had to get up to get us more water...

TLDR: This was honestly one of the worst restaurant service experiences I've ever had. I wouldn't recommend this spot at all. I was appalled by the poor service, the wait times are absolutely ridiculous, and food is subpar. All of the people in our party felt sick after eating here. First, we arrived and waited 20 min for seating. It was fine, we understood that there weren't many tables available... but then it got even worse. We had looked at the menu during the wait so we knew what we wanted to order the minute we were seated. We gave our order, 4 bowls of noodles, an appetizer, and a beer. It took 20+ minutes for them to bring our drink (a canned beer). We had to remind the waitress about the drinks twice. The service was so slow and the waitress was forgetful and unapologetic. Our food order took over an hour to arrive to our table. The appetizer showed up after 50 minutes of waiting. Once we got the food, it arrived lukewarm with the noodles stuck together in a sticky mass. If I could give 0 out of 5 I would, but I appreciate the effort that the chef put in, since he was acutely aware of how long everything was taking. He added a complimentary soup and egg to the order. For that kindness alone, this spot gets 1 star. Sadly, one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. It's so disappointing since this place seemed promising.
