Koyote

Fusion Japanese inspired Gen Z restaurant! This restaurant is more fusion than Japanese, 100% Gen Z! You order and pay off the QR code (tired of QR codes now) minimal interaction with servers. If you want to add an item they refer you to add it yourself to your online bill but they can add items. Food is just ok, too fusion focused. There are too many flavours going on the Shishido peppers. The Ramen taste like it’s beef broth. The brisket was good! The TanTan mein tasted off and was just ok. The grilled Mackerel was good. The menu show an entire Mackerel but they only serve you half a fish. The homemade chips were good but I would not pay for it. The house pickles were not good. The decor was simple and clean. I was confused if I should tip as much as a regular dine in restaurant. Everything is through the QR code online billing. Will not come back I prefer more authentic cuisines.

As a person that considers themselves a connoisseur of Vegan Ramen, koyote in my opinion has the best in Salt Lake. Their tantanmen hits every single time. Pair it up with a Dr Pepper and you got one of the best meals on earth. The quality of Ramen here is very good. I’m sure every other thing on the menu hits as well. Can’t go wrong going for anything here.

Best ramen in SLC!!! We went for a birthday brunch and our experience was amazing. French toast is a must try, it was so good! Tantan-men was so spicy and flavourful. The restaurant itself is so cute and the service was excellent. We can’t wait to go back again!

Excellent ramen at this modern, clean setting. Ordering is by QR code on your device. Recommend the flagship Tokyo style soy ramen and the $5 draft lager.

Food and drinks are always amazing, I always get the tantan-man but chose to try the American shoyu with brisket on top. It was just as good as tartan-man! Service was excellent… We sat on the patio and ended up moving to another table because the sun was hot, the staff helped us move our order and bussed us a new one in the shade. No complaints at all!

The food here was good. I’m not going to lie. It didn’t blow me out of the water. It was a fun place to eat at. However, the prices are bit much 😩 I see a lot of people complaining about having to order on a QR code… it’s not that deep. In Japan you literally order at a vending machine and they bring your order when it’s ready. I really like that the waiters didn’t hover but they did check in and were nice. Overall it was a fun place to go to.

Koyote surprised me in the best way possible. I’ve never had brisket in ramen before, but it totally worked—the broth was rich and savory, and the brisket was legit smoked, with that deep flavor and tenderness you usually only find at a good BBQ spot. Definitely not something I expected at a ramen joint, but they pulled it off. The gyoza were some of the best I’ve ever had—crispy on the outside, juicy and super flavorful on the inside. And the house-made pickles were a great little snack to start with while waiting for the main bowl. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere had a cool, relaxed vibe. I’m already looking forward to going back and trying the other ramen options on the menu. This place is a fusion win.

This is our neighborhood spot and it never disappoints. The service, the food quality, the atmosphere. We love the new rotations and the beloved staples. Be ready to wait a bit for a table. It’s popular and has small seating. Peep the photo for the new dessert we found divine - melon cream float

I've been here twice now and gotten the tonkatsu tsukemen both times and loved it. I like a bit of spice, so when ordering with the QR code I always make sure to request a side of spice. Highly recommend doing the same and topping it on your noodles! Service is attentive, friendly, and helpful. As mentioned, you order using the QR code on the table and should expect to get your food within 10-15 minutes. Ambiance is clean, modern, and cozy. We went on a summer evening and were a bit surprised of how hot it was inside. We would've appreciated a tiny bit more air conditioning haha.

Koyote has been one of my favorite spots since it opened in 2023. Today, I tried their brunch for the first time! My party shared the Fruit Sando, White Miso Carbonara, and the Miso Benedict, which comes with a brown butter mid hollandaise. They were all wonderful dishes! The Benedict especially blew me away, especially with its unique hollandaise which was distinctly more savory than normal hollandaise. The Benedict consisted of the eggs and hollandaise on top of two pieces of toast -- which sandwiched meat in the middle. This made every bite have a great flavor! The White Miso Carbonara was really tasty, something for fans of savory food for lunch. The greens and mushrooms fit perfectly with the dish, the pancetta was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was delicious! I will definitely be back to get this again while it's still on the menu. The Fruit Sando was a fun and light way to end the meal, providing some sweetness on the way out! I love how soft their milk toast is, and the fruit was fresh and delicious. Overall, the service of Koyote has always been excellent. I'm a big fan of paying a tab through Toast as it keeps everything moving quickly. The shop itself is very well decorated! I love its mixture of desert and Japanese vibes. Koyote is truly a blessing to have here in Salt Lake!

Come for the ramen, come back for the apps Ordering and payment is done through QR code which is so quick and efficient. The ramen is fine - definitely a step up from many places in SLC but the apps are where it's at. Whipped Tofu - INCREDIBLE!!! Think hummus, but smoother and creamier. And the chili crunch they use on top is so good. And it comes with scallion pancakes!! (Or bread for brunch) Kaisen Don - yummmmm, I love fish over rice and this did not disappoint. They also have great vegan options for any plant based eaters out there!

Koyote Ramen filled my Ramen void 100%. I have been craving a delicious spicy flavorful Ramen for sometime since visiting Japan- and this was more than I had hoped for! I'm officially addicted to the vegan Ramen... Just because of how delicious the broth really is. The service was also really great! And the ambience of the restaurant is really cool. I love the different seating options. Go check this place out ASAP - yum!!!

Fun to venture up to the Capitol/Hill Marmalade district to try the very buzzy Koyote. We pulled up just before it opened for dinner and there were already multiple parties waiting for the doors to open. Once inside, we admired the wood paneling, cozy booths, bright pops of color, and sprinkles of western decor. When the weather warms up, there is a spacious patio for alfresco dining. What we ordered: Whipped Tofu - Who knew I just needed whipped tofu in my life - with house-made chili crisps and plant-based mapo chili (that made me actually question if I ordered meat) plus scallion pancakes to dip and wipe the bowl clean. I'll be thinking of this dish for a long time. Hot Sake - This is a popular vending machine sake in Japan that I hadn't tried before. Sometimes hot sake on a cold Utah night just hits the spot. American Shoyu Ramen - Classic clear chicken and pork stock with straight egg noodles, smoked brisket, a soft-boiled egg, and bamboo shoots. Vegetarian Tatanmen Ramen - I wasn't aware that Koyote offered so many plant-based vegetarian options and hot dang, plant-based meats have come a long way! This sesame broth was so rich and spicy and creamy I definitely thought there was meat involved in its process. Instead of ground pork it was topped with plant-based mapo chili. Paired with the wavy Sapporo style noodles (vegan!), I was one happy customer. Perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg, green onions, scallions, and baby bok choy rounded out the dish. I did feel the entire plate was a bit overly salted but that is my only note. There is a lot of attention paid to diverse offerings - gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian are all clearly labeled and easy to customize. And a $7 kid ramen is a nice nod to the family-friendliness this city is known for. Service is - quirky. Friendly host seated us, then instructed us to scan the QR code and order from the Toast-operated online menu. Not my favorite type of restaurant interaction, but efficient. Drinks and food were brought out in a nicely-paced manner and they did check on us a couple of times, but there wasn't a lot more face-to-face time than that. I can understand that for a lunch stop, but as Koyote bills itself as a more upscale date-night destination, I'd appreciate a more service-oriented approach. All that said, I've got no complaints about more authentic Japanese establishments popping up in SLC. I will tell everyone about the whipped tofu and can't wait to return to try their other fares.

I noticed this restaurant existed a few weeks ago when I was doing my daily walks. So I finally made time to dine here last week with my friend and I'm so happy we did. Also, it's only less than a 5 min walk, so it's def another reason for me to come back again. Parking can be found in the residential streets. There are ample. There are seating outdoor and indoor. We sat indoor across from the bar since the outdoor was full. The place is cute, spacious, clean, and slightly dimmed. We sat at the booth, which fit perfectly. It was quite packed that day and luckily they were able to squeeze us in without any reservations. You order from the QR code and then submit the order when you're ready. The staffs will bring out the food and drinks for you. We ordered the popular whipped tofu, salmon bowl, and gyozas. All were good, but our fav was the whipped tofu. Surprisingly, we were really full given the fact they are appetizers. Also, we ordered the horchata cocktail and it was surprisingly good, too. I'm not a big fan of horchata, but it had the right balance. I'm definitely coming back to try their ramen and order the whipped tofu again. Hoping next time to dine outdoors.

So I may not be the top expert in ramen dishes or have a ton of experience...but for what it's worth, I've been here twice and I say that it's the best ramen that I have ever had. On top of that, the appetizers and drinks are interesting enough that dinner turns into a fun extravaganza on your tastebuds. With exquisite flavor combinations and soju to wash it all down, your experience at Koyote will be nothing less than delectable. Get there before the crowd does as it gets busy quick!

Koyote is hands-down one of the most exciting additions to Salt Lake's food scene. Yes, it's on the pricier side - but the quality, creativity, and overall experience make it absolutely worth it. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance: modern and stylish, but still warm and inviting. It's got that "special night out" feel without being overly formal - a vibe that's both relaxed and refined. The standout for me? The whipped tofu. I wasn't expecting to be blown away by something so simple, but it was smooth, silky, and rich, perfectly balanced with layers of texture and umami that made it feel indulgent yet light. The Brown Butter Miso Ramen was next level. Decadent and deeply flavorful, the broth is luxurious without being heavy-rich and savory with a deep, nutty finish from the brown butter. Easily one of the best bowls of ramen l've had in Salt Lake. The Chashu-Don deserves serious love too. The pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender with a perfect char, laid over a bowl of rice that soaked up all that flavor like a dream. It's comfort food, elevated. If you're looking for a place that delivers on quality and isn't afraid to push culinary boundaries, Koyote is it. Just know you're paying for that level of craft - and in my opinion, it's money well spent.

This ramen was really delicious! The broth was flavorful, the noodles were cooked perfectly and the egg was perfectly medium boiled. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in Japan with the decor, staff and spot on food. Some of the best ramen I've had!

First time going here and will for sure be coming back! the inside is super cute and I love the vibe of the entire restaurant! You scan a QR code that has the menu and you pay online which i lover because after you eat you can just leave! Service was great! our food and drinks came out in a timely manner and the food is amazing!!! Whether it's a wonderful summer night or a cold winter night, i highly recommend coming here to eat!

The food, vibes and service were all amazing! We got the curry, American Ramen and a matcha latte and it was all delicious. The curry was so flavorful and it felt like being transported back to Japan. The ramen had the perfect bite and the brisket was perfectly cooked. The matcha was so creamy and sweet that even my partner liked it (he normally says matcha tastes like grass!) The interior is beautiful and all our waiters were friendly and went above and beyond to help out. Overall, amazing spot, I can't wait to come back!

Legitimately incredible food! This went from a fun new experience to a regular stop for us. Incredible!

Food: the food was incredible and of high quality, I just would love a slightly more diverse menu, though I can appreciate an establishment that does one thing perfectly Service: was quick, deft, and polite Ambiance: beautiful dining space, somewhat small, but we were seated very quickly

The whipped tofu was great, just like everyone says. We also had gyoza, karaage wings, and extra scallion pancakes, all of which were solid choices. Rice on Rice was a fun cocktail, and the Koyote beer was a solid house brew. The ramen itself was just okay. We tried variations of classic and brown butter, and while the broth was seasoned, it wasn't the kind you want to drink down after your noodles. The noodles were fine, but the meat wasn't a favorite. The egg, however, was excellent--perfectly marinated and definitely the highlight of the bowl. Service was a little chaotic, with all of our orders having some mix-up, even the ones with no modifications. Ordering is done through a QR code to the Toast app, where everyone can add to one bill, which was a little confusing at first. They have WiFi, but I didn't ask for the password since the staff was busy running around. The restaurant was packed, giving it a lively atmosphere, though it did make service feel a little rushed. I wanted to try dessert but was way too full. I'd come back for the appetizers and maybe give the vegetarian ramen a shot since I've heard good things, but I won't set my expectations too high.

Food, service, beverages all were 5 stars. Beautiful decor as well! Would most definitely go back

This ramen spot is such a good find. It is definitely a neighborhood gem. Once seated, you order online and the food is brought to your table. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. We ordered plant-based gyoza, Shioyaki Saba, the Mabo tofu, the whipped tofu and the classic ramen. The gyoza was super tasty and you won't miss the meat. The Shioyaki Saba, the mackerel was cooked so well. I could eat that every day and be happy. The whipped tofu was so creamy. I would never have guessed that it was tofu. The Mabo tofu was also very good. Finally the ramen was warm and very filling. Everything was great. I highly recommend this place.

Overall a solid ramen spot and great ambiance! Staff is super friendly and the service was top notch. I got the butter miso ramen and added the brisket to try both of their protein options. I respect the fusion idea but bbq brisket just doesn't go well with ramen in my personal opinion. I'd skip on that next time. The butter miso broth is very good, super rich and has great depth of flavor! I tried my friend's shoyu style broth and that was also pretty good. I prefer the butter miso broth out of the two. The noodles were great, good amount of thickness and perfect chew. The chashu and egg had good flavor. The only cons were the toppings being cold and the broth was not hot enough (probably partly from the cold toppings). Especially on a cold night post snowboarding, I was really looking forward to the hot broth!

The restaurant was nice and modern. The food was really good. We had the potstickers, American shoyu (with the wavy noodles) and the ube dessert. The potstickers were really tasty with a good sauce, but only came with 4. For $7 there should be at least 6. The ramen was delicious! I like salty broth and this did not disappoint! The dessert was good as well. One thing I didn't love was that you ordered through an app at the table. We left ours open so we could order dessert later. If you do this, your other order disappears from the app. We went to pay and could only access the bill for the dessert. We had to get help from staff, which didn't speak much English so it was hard to communicate the issue. They kept water coming and they were very nice. I would definitely go back and try more items!

I've been following Koyote for a long, long time on Instagram, salivating over the pics of their ramen, and I figured it was time to give them a shot when Tan France from Queer Eye posted about their food. Don't need to tell me twice, Tan! We came on a Saturday night around 5:45 and it was popping! We had a group of five so our projected wait time was around 30 - 45 minutes. No big deal -- happy to wait for yummy food. We were added to the waitlist but about 15 minutes later, we received a text message that we had been removed. In a panicked state, we called about this and were promptly added back, but we couldn't track our wait status anymore, so we were told we'd be given a phone call when a table to accommodate our size was ready. As our wait time crept closer to 1 hour, we checked back in and were told that the folks at the two large tables were done eating and were just hanging around. Shortly after that call, one of the tables left and we were seated. I love that you order straight from your table and manage your tab without referring to a dedicated waiter/waitress. Felt very much like some of the shops my partner and I have eaten at in Japan. We ordered the pork gyoza, whipped tofu with extra scallion pancakes (a must order!), one dipping ramen, a butter ramen, and a classic ramen. We were impressed with how tasty the food was, but our ramen bowls did take quite a bit to come out after the two appetizers. The food was so good that our 8 month old kept demanding more of everything we were eating. She especially loved the marinated egg and scallion pancakes. I docked a star because of how loud the restaurant was, and it wasn't just the conversation level from other tables but the music's volume. It felt like we had to shout a bit across the table to talk to one another. Other than that, this is now one of my top five fave restaurants IN SLC.

Pretty good food with great ambiance. Loved everything about the way it looked and the service was great. Just didn't think the flavors were amazing. The brisket rice bowl is worth getting and so is the whipped miso and the chips. Salad was very very not good, mapo tofu was OK but i wouldn't get it again. My friends got the ramen and really liked it though!

Came here for lunch at a fellow Yelpers recommendation. The space looks clean and more modern; the menu has a lot of options to choose from. Their ramen bowls (we got a classic and a brisket, with some added toppings) were okay. Gyoza wasn't really good (prob won't reorder). So the best tasting item on our table was the sapa. Overall, the food was okay but since there are so many yummy sounding items on the menu, I'd be curious to come back and try them out.

Food is A+! Service is outstanding although be aware they get super busy so sometimes wait times are long. Parking can be tough (because they are busy!). Ambience is great. This place is awesome

The place was loud when we walked in--so loud it was tough to hear the host explain how to order. Turns out, it's all done through an app. That's fine in theory, but there's no cell service inside, and I didn't see a Wi-Fi password posted anywhere. You only find it buried in the app after some digging. The menu is digital-only and, in my opinion, a bit limited. A few common ramen options I usually see were missing. Once we figured it out and got our food, it was decent. Not bad, not great--just okay. Nothing about the experience really compels me to come back. It's fine if you're in the area and know what you're getting into, but I won't be rushing back.

Koyote is a cute little spot tucked away in a neighborhood. The atmosphere made me feel like I was in LA or San Francisco. They have a fun twist on ordering. The service is hustling and friendly. The Ramon servings were huge. I easily have enough leftovers for 2 more meals. We also had gyoza which were so delicious. We can't wait to go back and take our 7 year old.

My boyfriend and I really loved the ramen here!! Everything was so flavorful. We came at around 7:30pm on a Monday and it was surprisingly very busy and we couldn't get a table until around 8. The food was really good, though, and made the wait worth it. The prices are reasonable and the service was efficient. The vibes were quite good and we will be back!

Very nice restaurant ambiance. You ordered through the QR code. The foods were good, a little on the salty side. The service was good, friendly. The ice ramen was kind of weird for us but glad we tried.

I've been to Koyote twice, and have gotten the tantan-men made vegan twice. The second time was much better than the first, but it's a great ramen spot regardless! The people I have dined with really liked it as well. I just wish they had an option to add tofu to their other vegan ramen! I generally don't order vegan ramen without protein.

I finally made it to Koyote to see what all the hype was about, and boy oh boy, did they deliver. It's located in a bit of an inconspicuous area, so parking is sparse, but once you're inside it's flying colors. The interior is modern yet cozy and has nice ambient lighting. We ordered some apps, including the plant based gyoza a which was surprisingly delicious and I wasn't even aware it was plant based until after devouring it - and the whipped tofu. This whipped tofu dish was unlike anything I've tried before, prepared with confit garlic and chili and served with heavenly scallion pancakes. The dish was extremely creamy and if you hadn't told me it was made with tofu, I wouldn't have guessed it. I ordered the tantan-men ramen but substituted for thick noodles, and it came out looking so scrumptious that the table next to us asked what I ordered. The spice level was perfectly manageable as well! This intimate Japanese restaurant certainly caught my attention and I'll be returning for more!

When you enter the restaurant, you are seated and directed to order by scanning a QR code. It is connected to the table you are seated at. You also enter your payment information online as well. So basically, you only interact with staff if they are bringing food/drink to your table. Because of this concept, I don't really understand the difference between dining in or ordering take out. It also makes it hard to ask for more water, alert a server if something is incorrect, or share other small things a server could easily take care of. Seeing employees stand around made me wonder why this system is in place. Overall, the interior is nicely decorated, and the food was delicious, though some items are a little expensive ($2.50 for chili crisp, $3 for an egg?). The ramen was flavorful (leaning towards the saltier side) and filling. Get here early if you have your eye on something specific on the menu, as I noticed more than 3 dishes were unavailable to order at 7pm.

The food is amazing. It is pricey but I feel that the service was just mediocre. I sat at the bar with my friend and honestly tipping on this was complicated because you order online. And then you pay online all the server does is bring the food and that was usually a food runner The ambiance is young and fun but there is not a ton of seating so you could wait a long while before being seated since they don't do reservations or a waitlist online. Id go back because the food was so good but I don't think this would be a regular spot

Found this Gem by accident and I do mean GEM! As soon as I walked in I was greeted by what I think is the owner but not 100% sure. He seated me explained the menu, asked me if I had ever been there before and gave me some recommendations! Great environment, between up scale and chill & stellar customer service! The staff was friendly and attentive, I went with one of the recommendations, the American brisket shoyuo (think I spelled that right) lol. It was the best ramen I've had in a lllooonnnggg time! I also got some rice and tried the Ube ice cream sandwich for dessert, everything was really good and my experience from start to finish was great. When I come back to visit the area I will definitely be stopping in again! Thanks coyote shout out to the cooks!

This place is extremely authentic & it even better than some LA spots I've tried! We came here visiting from LA, California and were craving a tasty ramen to help warm up from the cold weather. This spot was a HUGE HIT! So happy we found this spot. The atmosphere seemed authentic with kind & attentive service. Now for the food: Tantan-men 9/10: amazing tasting ramen! You are able to order your order & pay right after! The broth was scrumptious & just the right around of flavoring, I wish it had more spiciness! This was a vegetarian popular broth. They also have Gluten- FREE & vegan options Fish 10/10: very fishy very yummy. Great flavor & cooked to perfection! The lemon on the side was absolutely needed for added deliciousness!! Overall an amazing place!! Must visit & try for great authentic ramen.

Love this place. The cozy sleek looking restaurant is definitely worth a try. The food is absolutely amazing. Everything is flavorful and made in house. The drinks are good. Appetizer's are delish as well! Watching the cooks make the food is also entertaining! I've been here a handful of times and tell as many people as I can about it! Great job Koyote

Not too crazy about the order system being non-personal. You have to use a QR code and order from your phone and close your tab the same way. So don't have anyone to tip, right? Mine wasn't working so they had someone take my order in person which was nice. I also didn't like that you can't request a spice level on almost any of their ramens. That's a first for me and I have been to many ramen spots. The tan-tan men was good, a bit too creamy for a ramen, more like a pasta dish, and way too spicy. I also found the mabo tofu too spicy.

We loved the this ramen spot! Also not pictured, vegan ramen, tonkotsu ramen, gyoza and pickled veggies. The menu was great for vegans and non. Our party of 6 was seated quickly and the server did a good job explaining the order system- you order individually at the table from your phone. The food was excellent, the service was great, there were tables both inside and out- overall great experience. Will definitely be back to try more!

SLC needs more restaurants like this! Went on a Saturday evening and the place was full, got seats at the bar so we didn't have to wait. You order via QR code and pay all on your phone. The service scored very high in my opinion: order was brought out separately and well spaced out-cold appetizers, then hot appetizers, drinks, lastly the entree. They were organized and timely!, much appreciated! Classic ramen- broth was decent, not too fatty, noodles cooked just right, paired well with all the ingredients. Nothing out of place or too over the top, just like I like my ramen. Seared skipjack tuna salad- was light, tasty, sauce paired well. if you are in the mood for something lighter, try this! House gyoza- a nice chard edge to it, Karage wings- more like crispy chicken wings but batter was very tasty. KOYOTE beer- a light summer ale. If you love a cold Sprite, you'll love the Chu-Hi Lemon alcoholic drink! The horchata sake w a rimmed cinnamon sugar.. tastes just like it sounds...yummy! Kotote definitely deserves many return visits and will bring family and friends. Can't wait to try other menu items!

The ramen was delicious and full of flavors! We came on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't crowded at all.,Also loved the interior and overall ambience

I think I enjoyed the experience of this place more than the food. I haven't visited a restaurant where the only role the host plays is to hand you the food. Once seated, you just use your phone to scan the barcode and order from there. It opens a tab that you can keep adding to until you're done. My coworker and I sat along the long bar that faces the kitchen which is full of appliances that I couldn't tell were decorative or actually used for food prep. I just had the classic ramen omitting chashu following the menu's suggestion to add wontons. They don't offer a tonkotsu broth here, just the shoyu based one. Never been a huge fan of clear broths unless you start talking kitakata or saimin to me. It's a tad too salty and I feel awful leaving someone's hard work sitting in the bottom of the bowl waiting to be poured down the sink. The rest of the ingredients were pretty high quality. Noodles were al dente and perfectly good. I also enjoyed the marinated egg and the way they fancied up the green onions. :) The wonton were tiny and not particularly flavorful. Better to go with more noodles. That, if I end up returning here. If you work the airport and stay at a hotel, this place is a little out of the way. I'd probably try a different place if we get the opportunity. The big plus of this place is that it's great for solo eaters because you just sit down, order, eat, pay online and go.

This Rose Park/Marmalade ramen restaurant offers delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. The ramen itself is delicious, broth full of flavor. Other food items on the menu do not disappoint either - I highly recommend the wings and unique snack of lotus chips. It does get very busy, and can get crowded, so be prepared to wait. However, the service is always fast.

PROS: - Ordering process is so simple. We ordered on our phones and paid through the phone. I loved this concept. The restaurant is well designed - WHIPPED MISO. Order this. I had no idea what to expect but this was by far the most interesting and delicious bite we has during our meal. It was spicy, creamy, soft, and rich. Truly amazing - Shioyaki saba mackrell was amazing also. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. - they had a Caesar salad with fish that was a great salad also - simple beer selection but great tasting beers nonetheless CONS: -tantan men ramen was very boring. The broth was not spicy. I thought the noodles were chewy. Despite the fact that I didn't love the ramen I order, the appetizers more than made up for it and I would come back and try a different ramen and update this review. Overall a great restaurant and addition to the SLC food scene.

I've been dying to try this place since it opened and finally was able to check it out last night. It's in a cute hidden little residential area on the west side and is so cute and chic inside. You start at tab at your table with the QR code, and we just ordered whenever we were ready. We loved this because we ended up ordering a bunch of apps to share and it was perfect. The staff was super friendly and the food and drinks came out super quickly after we had ordered. We got here right at opening time (5pm) on a Thursday and it wasn't too busy. Warning: your eyes will likely be bigger than your stomach, like ours. We ended up stuffing our faces with apps, and I was so pleasantly surprised at how many vegan options they had! Whipped tofu: A must try for anyone, vegan or not vegan. It has the consistency of a hummus and was packed with flavor. Get the extra scallion pancakes if you're sharing! Mabo tofu: Delicious with a hint of spice and tons of flavor, it was silken tofu with some plant based crumbles and comes with a side of rice Plant based gyoza: YUM, crispy and crunchy and so yummy We were full off of these items alone and didn't even get to try their desserts or their ramen. Can't wait to come back. They were setting up their patio seating when we were there, and the patio space looks lovely!

This Japanese restaurant is so good. I came here at night which the area looks a little bit sketchy and dark, but the food is good. I did like their ramen, and the smoked brisket was something new, and it was good. Great customer service and clean.

This was a really cool place to check out. It's tucked away in a little neighborhood and the inside is very cute. Once you sit down, you scan a QR code and you're able to order and check out all online which is really nice and convenient. You don't have to track down someone when you want something else which is nice. The whipped tofu with scallion pancakes were amazing and I would absolutely come back for that. The plant based gyoza was also amazing. When I went to the restroom, I was able to see all the apps everyone ordered and honestly they all looked divine. I got the ramen with plant based meat and it was okay. The broth was nice and rich but it definitely was missing something. Overall food was good and even though you order online, someone was checking on us often enough. Would definitely recommend!

Dinner with the family who had been here before. The restaurant has a "hip, young crowd vibe." We entered the restaurant, was asked twice (by the same person) how many in our party, ignored, then another person came over, asked us how many and that person proceeded to seat us. No menus are given, there is a QR code on the table that you scan with your phone. You can order as an individual or as a group. If you're not 100% tech savvy, it's confusing. (Thus, being hip & young is helpful.) All 4 of us ordered at the same time and within 1 group. The appetizers came out one at a time, even though they were all the same thing. Gyoza were good, not outstanding, in my opinion. Here's where it starts to go downhill. Three ( 2 adults, 1 child) mains come out right away. We waited a good 10 minutes for a "side" of chili to be brought to the table. We asked "servers" several times what the hold up was for the other 2 mains. Finally, about 10-15 minutes later, the 2 remaining ramens were delivered. Unfortunately, these two bowls were not the correct orders. Each bowl had specific add ons which were not added on. For my family that is local to SLC, this is a "go to" place for them. But, I think I will stay away from the "hip & trendy." The food was good, but the service has left a poor taste in my mouth.

I had the American Shoyo. I can describe the taste in one word...salty. 2 very thin strips of salty brisket and less noodles than in a pack of $.98 cent ramen, $3 for a can of coke. You can only order and pay using a 3rd party app, which I did not like. If you come alone, they won't seat you at a table or booth, the bar is your only option. Noticed someone walking out after being told that. The place looks nice, but

The restaurant has Delicious food! Friendly service and modern but calm ambiance. Highly Recommend!

Fast good service. Great plating. I didn't like any of the food we got. This is a one and done for me.

The founder is Japanese and it shows. The noodles were nice and firm, the broth was rich but not overstated, the egg was sublime, and the pork was just the right balance of firm and soft, meat and fat. Definitely the best bowl of ramen I've had in SLC. A little bit out of the way, and you have to use a Toast tab, but service is quick, so it's with a visit.

This was the best ramen I've had in a minute. The vibe is cool, the food is top tier. I liked everything I ordered. The lotus chips I probably won't get again. Just wasn't anything amazing. I got the spicy ramen. The only thing I didn't like is the ordering. You scan a QR code and that's how you pay. So they charge extra for things that other restaurants may just give complimentary. Like extra chili oil for example.
