Dough Zone’s Ramen Restaurant Has Closed in Issaquah | Eater Seattle

"Replacing it is Orenji Sushi and Noodles, which surfaced on Yelp in early December; I found reactions to its chicken katsu ramen and vegetable ramen largely positive. As the name suggests, it also serves sushi rolls and sashimi, and the menu includes unusual beverages like a Kahlua milk tea cocktail and a nonalcoholic "Blue Drink" described as a "blue raspberry soda with shark gummies, yes!" It's located at 5625 221st Pl SE #120 and is open Monday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Megan Hill

Great service, delicious food. Chicken Karaage: Came out fairly quick, lots of small pieces. The spicy mayo is definitely on the spicy side. I liked the quality and the quantity Tuna Maki: This is how a Tuna Maki should be 😋 big piece of tuna, and wrapped well. Simple, but great Orenji Dragon Roll: Loved it. I asked for no cucumber and it was perfect. Chirashi Bowl: Lots of big pieces, the rice was seasoned well. There was one piece of fish we didn't like, if we order it again I'd ask them to substitute it. Not sure what the fish was but it was a bit too soft/mushy. Could also use seaweed. Side of salad with the Chirashi bowl: We really liked the dressing they used And they gave a complimentary strawberry mochi ice cream after we paid 🥹 It was really yummy and that was so sweet of them Overall, enjoyed our meal. Not gonna take a star off for the price, but you're definitely paying a premium to have a nice sushi meal in Issaquah. If you have the time and want to save a bit of money, get a Chirashi Bowl from Musashis or sushi from FOB Sushi Bar. I wouldn't say the Chirashi bowl here is worth almost 2x the price compared to Musashi's, but it's still excellent! Although neither of those places have quite the expansive menu as Orenji.

My family has been going to Orange for almost 3 years, this restaurant has become a family restaurant for us. We really like their dishes and sushi, everything we ordered has always been delicious and fresh. The staff has not changed for a couple of years, so they are a cool team that works as one. Prosperity to you and good customers.

I had high hopes, but unfortunately, the sushi was disappointing lacked freshness and flavor. The udon noodles were even worse overcooked, bland, and completely underwhelming. Definitely not the quality I expected after reading reviews . Won’t be coming back.

We had gyoza, seared salmon nigiri, salmon avocado roll, and veggie tempura. Everything was very good! Reasonable prices, too. The server noticed we were celebrating my friend's birthday so surprised us with a little plate of mochi ice cream bites! Very kind.

This place is great if you want good cocktails and food, but it's definitely a more casual location. Which, to be fair, is just the right speed sometimes. Perfect spot to satiate a craving, a step up from a coffee date, would and do take my family & friends there, but I wouldn't necessarily take a serious date there or go there for a professional lunch. They're renovating, so I'm sure the atmosphere will soon improve- right now it's giving noisy.

The food tasted great especially the chicken karage and iced coffee (which you usually won’t find in most Japanese restaurants). But I am here mainly to compliment on their services. I went in on a Tuesday afternoon, the restaurant was already busy and almost full, but my server Erika still managed to take my order timely and quickly without prioritizing tables with larger parties. While I was eating, three different servers checked in with me on my food, and one noticed I was using my napkin to squeeze a lemon wedge and immediately brought me another one. And honestly, all three servers talked to me in a cheerful and vibrant tone, which is not commonly seen in the greater Seattle area. I’ll definitely dine here again not just for the food and beverages, but also for the service.

I absolutely loved this place,did a random search and came up with this place. I asked them to make me a special roll that had spicy tuna, cream cheese with green onions, and little orange eggs with the sweet brown sauce 😋 Perfection 👌, great service, prices reasonable. Service fantastic by Erika.

My partner and I dropped by for lunch on a weekday and were surprised at how busy it was. Looked like a lot of regulars and locals which is always a good sign! Servers were amazing and so friendly and helpful! Interior was clean and not too noisy. There's a small private parking lot just outside and was easy enough to find. We ordered yellowtail and salmon collars (my favorites), a few rolls, and some drinks. We really enjoyed everything! Collars were cooked perfectly and portions were great. The rolls were fresh and flavors were pretty standard at what you'd find at most sushi places that offer rolls. I tried a milk tea whisky cocktail out of curiosity and it was actually delicious so I was pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed our visit and will be back!

This was a great find. My wife wanted sushi but i wanted ramen; and this was a good pick. Plenty of options in the menu. Nice restaurant with a great vibe and the staffs were very friendly. Overall; I would give this restaurant a 4.5/5. What we got: * Chicken karaage (4/5) It was crispy and juicy and nicely seasoned. Good but not mind blowing. * 5 Alarm tantan ramen (4/5) Suprisingly really good. Most of the time when a restaurant served both sushi and ramen; it usually taste just decent; but this was actually a good favourfull ramen. I got level 5 spicy so it was crazy spicy; but i like it. I recommend get like a level 2 spicy. * Nigiri sushi ( Fatty tuna, Albacore tuna, Hamachi, Tobiko, Eel, Snow crab) (4/5) Good nigiri; favorite was hamachi and least favorite was eel. My wife said the tuna taste a little bit too fishy. * Hamachi Usuzukuri (5/5) Wife really like the hamachi and decided to order this dish; and she loved it. * Iced Hokkaido milk tea (5/5) This was by far the best find! I never knew a milk tea would be this good; even better than any drinks from boba cafes. This was just perfect. Overall I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a good sushi and or ramen. We will go back for sure.

We were in the area and sister wants to take me out. I remember this place that hubby and I went before but it's been a while so we decided to come back. We ordered so much food and none of it disappoint. Customer service was great and it's a nice place for date night or dining. I would totally recommend if you're in the area and don't know what to eat. It was so good that my hubby and son went back the following day.

Service here was excellent. They are super busy and we were smashed between regulars. The servers knew the people on both sides of us and they were just singing praises. For as commercial as this place seemed i.e.: located in a strip plaza. The sushi I had was exceptional for the price. I got the Cirachi and miso soup. See photo. I would be back here for sure. It's a very busy place in a little loud, but the quality of the food was excellent.

I got the veggie tantan ramen and overall it was good. I asked for 3/5 on the spicy scale, and it had a good level of spiciness. My biggest pet peeve though these days is when you have to pay extra for egg. The broth had really good flavor, but I didn't feel as though there was much else going on. The noodles felt like they were grabbed from an instant noodle packet, and I wish there was more to it. The mushrooms, carrots and spinach were a nice touch but lacked flavor. Overall, would eat here again but maybe try something else. This place did not blow my mind away, but it was a good option since I was craving something warm on this rainy day.

Service: quick and friendly. Food: so-so. They have a lot of option on their menu which can be good and bad. Good as it allow people to find something they may like. Bad in that it usually indicate the quality of the food would not be impressive. We got several dishes to try and all underwhelming. The chicken yakiudon was too wet and sauce used was not good...way too sweet. The two ramen dishes lack depth in flavor. The batter on the tempura was greasy. Sushi row was just ‍. This was our second time there and left with the same impression as the first. I don't think there will be a third time. Money can be spent at a restaurant with better and tasty food.

I made a reservation for 6pm on Friday as I read in previous reviews that it can get pretty difficult to find a spot here in the evenings on a weekend. However, we ended up coming in at 5:05pm as our schedule changed and we saw that only three tables were occupied. We told the hostess that we had a reservation and if it was okay to just dine in now and he politely informed us that he could do that for us. He got two menus and a drink menu before leading us to a booth in the far left corner near the bar area. It did take several minutes for us to get someone to bring us water and take our order but it was fine as we weren't in a rush. We ordered takoyaki, Front Street Roll, 5 alarms (level 5 spicy) and Katsu Chicken Rice. The vibe here is very modern with orange being a central part of the theme probably due to the name of the restaurant. It is well lit and provides a nice atmosphere of being intimate and cozy for any occasion. I saw that they have a birthday platter on the menu which is cute and I am curious to know what that all entails. At the bar, there was a large screen playing Chopped which was neat as I am a personal fan of the show. There are several tables with chairs, booths, and bar seating. They also have another section of the restaurant we didn't get to see so they are able to handle all sizes of parties. Service here was very friendly and professional from the hostess, waitresses, and employees who delivered our food. They offer a huge carafe of water to do refills ourselves. We got a water refill as soon as they saw we were out of water. I just wished they put in the fridge or had it colder. The restaurant was starting to get packed around 6pm but all the employees were doing their best to provide efficient and professional service. The food here was impressive! We really enjoyed everything! The takoyaki was the perfect size, taste and texture! The Front Street roll was refreshing but the taste of the kani mixture was a bit off to me though. It had the same texture as canned tuna so I wasn't a huge fan and let my boyfriend take more of the pieces. He enjoyed his chicken katsu but he say that the chicken tasted flavorless and that the sauce really carried all the flavors. I was very happy with my 5 alarm ramen as they did deliver on the spices and I did ask for chili oil (which they make in house) just in case but it was spicy enough on it's own. They gave lots of different vegetables and the chashu was fantastic. Definitely would love to come back to try out of some their other offerings and drinks but we were very happy with our visit!

An absolute hidden gem for Ramen in Issaquah. Randomly stumbled on this place on the way back from a drive and boy, what a great find. The place was quite busy but we were lucky to get a table. They had a nice ambience and the food was decently priced not overly expensive. They had great vegetarian options. The Green Beans sushi was good but the highlight was their ramen. Both the tan tan and their miso ramen was delicious and outstanding. Easily one of the best ramen places on the east side. Highly recommend!

Had been craving ramen with my wife and with the power out in Renton, went to Issaquah which is not far from where we live to have some lunch. Immediately walked in, and greeted by a lovely young lady who asked if we were okay sitting at the sushi bar area, which we were. Sat down and our waitress who was fanatic took our orders. We ordered ramen, gyoza, & chicken karage. It was AMAZING! At the end of the meal, someone else came with our check and asked if we wanted dessert, but we declined because we were full. Still though, the young lady checking us out brought us a little plate with mochi on it...and what made it so special was the two adorable penguins with heart emojis. I was so happy that my wife and I were treated so lovingly there. The place is adorable, the ambiance is amazing, and ALL the staff are hard working and amazing. We will be back again and again.

Wow, what a gem! Orenji is a quaint Ramen and Sushi restaurant in a small strip mall off of a side street in Issaquah across from a large Brown Bear car wash. But for being so unassuming, I was highly impressed! It was also fully packed on a weekend evening around 7pm. The Tonkatsu ramen had a rich broth, thin noodles (although it looks like you could sub thicker noodles), and the chashu was tender and flavorful. It easily hit the Ramen spot for me. While I could identify things I like better about some other spots, there were things about this Ramen that stood out as well, and if I am in issaquah and want ramen, I am coming here. The only disappointing things were that it only comes with half an egg, and the two pieces of chashu are kind of small. You can order extra, and there are other add-ons, but you could quickly end up paying $25 for your bowl of ramen. The sushi looked fantastic and I want to come back and try it. I liked that their cocktails had a Japanese spin on classic cocktails and the Toki Old Fashioned was solid. I also appreciated the big ice cubes, which was unexpected from a strip mall ramen joint. The service was very attentive, caring, and friendly. This should be a regular spot!

We came again few days later We ordered Takoyaki, Gyudon, Orenji Dragon Roll, Crunchy Krab Roll, Philly Roll, Chicken Katsu Bowl, Chicken Katsu Ramen, Miso... We were to excited to eat that I forgot to take a picture! The service was amazing this time. Our server was a tall male server. He was awesome (forgot his name). Keep up great work!

Food is good but Customer Service is really non existent... planned to get take out loaded comes running out screaming at the gentleman in front of me to confirm his name for the order. Such harshness - I felt sorry for the guy who obviously spent a lot of money on his order , no manners. definitely a mainlander .

My 19-year old introduced me to Orenji. He's been going for years and loves this place. He usually orders the 5-Alarm and the blue drink. I REALLY enjoyed my bowl and will definitely be going again. It's a cute little place with really nice staff. If Issaquah is out of your way, make it a day and check out Gilman Village for some shopping after eating here.

I am vegan and it's so hard for me to go to places that don't have a lot of vegan options but the food here was amazing! I had the miso based ramen and it was soooo good. I can't wait to go back again. We took our small kids there and they were really accommodating for them as well which I always appreciate.

We had a reservation and got seated somewhat quickly as it is always busy at this place. I have tried many things here and have never been disappointed. This time I went with the chicken katsu and once again was not disappointed!!! It was great and very tasty! I would definitely be back to try something else!!

We were in the Issaquah area for a Sunday marathon, and Orenji Sushi & Noodles provided the perfect carb boost. Just a short drive from our hotel, with ample private parking and a Yelp check-in discount on one of their signature rolls, it was an unbeatable opportunity! The Great: The food! My wife ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen, broth was full flavored and the noodles we done nicely. Char Siu was tender and the mushrooms provided a nice contrast in textures. I took advantage of the yelp check in offer and ordered Dragon Angry which had a crispy shrimp tempura inside and topped with a spacy imitation crab and eel. Also ordered a side of of their Ikura and Unagi nigiri, they definitely do NOT skimp on the seafood! The Good: The food was delivered very fast, presented/plated nicely, and our service was solid with several different staff checking on our table frequently. The menu is very large and varied, I just wish we were here longer to sample additional items! The Okay: My only wish was the unagi sauce on the roll was a tad too heavy and sweet for my liking. It wasn't bad but it did tend to overpower some of the flavors. Overall: The restaurant itself was very clean and modern, very welcoming with lots of seating. Prices were decent, I did have a 300 ml bottle of sake which really completed the experience! I'd highly recommend Orenji Sushi & Noodles!

This was a takeout order and, while we were too tired for extended human interaction at the time, the restaurant looked like a place I'd like to dine in. Our food was ready about five minutes before schedule and brought out by the host with a smile. After a larger lunch, we went a bit lighter here for dinner. My wife enjoyed a small miso soup to start. It was well seasoned, pleasantly warm, and I don't think there was a drop left when she finished. She had the Orenji Dragon roll, which was tasty. It wasn't as crunchy as she expected for a roll with shrimp tempura, but did have a decent mix of tastes and textures. I tried one of the rolls as well and it was good, but not standout. It's the type of roll I enjoy, but wouldn't reorder if that makes sense. It's tasty but somehow not memorable and I wouldn't drive past other sushi places to get it again. That being said, it was my wife's meal (not mine!) and she finished with a smile. I had the shoyu ramen and was very happy. The broth and toppings were separate, which is standard for takeout ramen, but I still appreciate. It was fantastic and I don't know that I'd change a thing. The broth was rich, smooth, and tasty. The chasu pork was tender and flavorful. The egg was firm, with a yolk the texture of custard. The only disappointment for me was that I was using a hotel teaspoon instead of a proper ramen spoon and I can't hold that against Orenji! I've been looking for a good ramen place on the eastside for a few years, after being disappointed by several other restaurants. I think I'd try the Tonkotsu, 5 Alarms, or Spicy Beef next time but the important thing is that I hope there IS a next time. Issaquah is a drive for us, but if I'm in the area I know what I want for lunch.

Plenty of parking available in the lot outside of the strip mall. Clean and well lit restaurant. A very large menu selection with sushi, noodles, and bentos. The fish was all very fresh and the owner said they get daily delivery. Was just disappointed that the lunch menu wasn't well advertised. Apparently you have to scan the QR code on the menu to get the lunch options. We would have considered the 2 sushi rolls option and the lunch chirashi if we had known. Super friendly staff.

Came here for a weekday lunch since we saw there was lunch specials available. When we got the menu, there wasn't lunch specials offered so we ordered an Orenji roll ($16), Tempura udon ($16) and a chirashi bowl ($35). The orenji roll was decent with tempura and imitation crab. Tempura is one was mediocre. The Chirashi had quite decent fish but was not worth the $35. While we sat there, they had a monitor advertising the lunch special so we asked about the lunch special. They said you can access lunch special with the QRS code found on the order of the menu. When we looked into it, it was not easy to access and it is also not very transparent what the cost was. Would not order the chirashi bowl. Much better prices for just as good chirashi bowl in other place. And for the price of the roll, real crab should be used. May come back again to try out the lunch special. Otherwise , spacious with good lighting. Waitress was quite friendly.

This place was packed on a Sunday night. I see the appeal and the popularity among families. This place is kid friendly but also offer cocktails and well drinks! They have a small bar area that has some separation from dining. I am pleased to see that my chirashi bowl's fish are sliced generously and not chopped-- which I don't like! The ramen was good as well. Overall great experience.

Very popular spot in Issaquah for good sushi with attentive waiting staff. Beef udon is underrated. It's the thin cut hotpot beef that rips apart easily. The soup is sweet and meet pieces plentiful! Crispy salmon collar and yellow tail collar are great appetizers to share between 2 people. Lots of parking! And lots of people getting takeout. Very busy

Food was good, I had the rice bowl. Maybe a bit plain could use some veggies in it. Calamari was good but only a few pieces. They were good size tho. The spicy ramen was very good and it is spicy. Service was ok, a little lacking but nice staff. Ambience was normal. Not a bad place to stop and eat. Parking was tight but doable.

We're staying in Issaquah from the San Francisco Bay Area for the weekend to attend a friend's wedding. Found Orenji online and took a chance on a chilly rainy night, an hour before closing. What a great experience! Ordered Katsu ramen and assorted nigiri. All delicious, with generous portions. Beyond the food, we were most impressed by the entire staff. While waiting for our table, then sitting by the sushi bar, we had a chance to watch the staff tend to business. You can tell that it's a family run operation. Every staff member looked happy and they all worked well as a team. When we're back in the area, we look forward to returning to the soon to be expanded Orenji Sushi & Noodles. We'll recommend it to relatives who live in the area.

The food we got was good, however, we had an awkward experience. We had ordered a Philly roll and they brought us out an Alaska roll. We called a server over and let them know we had gotten the wrong roll. The server said they would go make us a Philly roll. Well, they never brought out the Philly roll, then brought us our receipt, which they were charging us for both the Alaska roll we didn't order AND the Philly roll that we never got. We called the server over again and she took off the price for the Philly roll but we still ended up paying for a roll we didn't order. This was our first and last time coming into here... which is unfortunate because again the food we did get was good.

We tried coming here on a Friday night and the place was packed so we ended up making a reservation for Sunday dinner instead. The takoyaki was the crispiest we've had in the States and was very decision. I wouldn't have minded if they put on more bonito flakes and seaweed though. The texture of the ramen noodle was good but the broth was a little salty and not as well balanced. The jade roll was interesting since it didn't have rice but we liked how big the pieces of sashimi were in the roll - it was a very refreshing bite. The Orenji Dragon Roll wasn't bad either. We made sure to sign up with Toast to collect points for every visit.

Service was good. Got our food quickly. Ordered the tempura udon - no flavor in the broth. Tempura came with 2 shrimps, 2 carrots, a zucchini and a green bean tempura. It was crispy but I felt like it was not needed. Just the shrimp would've sufficed. The amount of noodles were very little. I prefer to have more noodles. It tasted better with the chili oil since it was so bland. My kid ordered the salmon tempura udon and she thought there was too much sauce. She would prefer the sauce on the side that way her tempura would have been crispy. We ordered the katana roll and the Orenji roll that was very good but the katana roll wasn't wrapped tightly it came apart easily and it just wasn't flavorful.

They were reasonably busy for a Tuesday at 1pm but that didn't stop them from seating us right when we arrived. While we tried to determine what we wanted we were attended to numerous times between water and chopsticks and drinks and asking us if we were ready to order. The food arrived super quick- honestly less than five minutes for the miso and the sushi rolls followed a couple minutes later. The wait staff was attentive and the noise level was super nice- not loud so it was easy to converse. Food was tasty like always! I applied some pints credit to the bill so be sure to join their points club- they don't really advertise it so be sure to ask about it. **They now have plastic reusable chopsticks! So happy to see this small but huge difference in being more eco friendly!!! YAY

Service was good, food not so much. It's a nice little space but everything is just off in terms of flavor. Tonkotsu bowl was not good at all, sushi rolls and even the raw stuff just tasted kind of like it's been sitting out for a while, even though we were the only ones in there. I think this place is just trying too hard with everything: izakaya, sushi, ramen, etc.

Been here twice in a week. Recommended by two different friends. First time, was for dinner on a Friday night. Busy hopping place. Table for 4. Ordered a chirasi bowl, others bought ramen bowl, and 3 sushi rolls. The Chirasi had semi fresh fish (had better). Sushi rice had enough sweet/tangy) My friends enjoyed their ramen bowls. Rolls were good (ordered bad boy and jade). Second visit during lunch. Not as busy. Service friendly and quick. Attentive. Ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and scallop hand roll. My friend had avocado salad and a roll. Salad was a pretty good size, the ramen had big portions of ingredients. The chocolate mochi for dessert was yummy. There will no lunch prices. Chirashi was pricey for the amount I got. Would go again for good service, large portions. Sushi freshness was average. Price okay. Clean

Orenji Dragon and Bad Boy rolls were tastefully top-notch as usual and expected, similar to basically ALL of their sushi rolls as we simply inhale them w/o chewing bcuz they are just yumm. Love the vibe and ambiance of swinging-thru the issquah location whether seated on family side of restaurant or bar, both lively and jovial. But tonight i got a lil' too adventurous and ordered the wrong thing. 'twas our absolute fav in issaquah for last few yrs but not likely to return after tonight (did they change ownership or mgmt recently?): horrendously watered-down "broth" rendered agedashi tofu pieces borderline-palpable (great texture and firmness but exceptionally bland). We just felt kind of short-changed somehow, idk maybe we're spoiled and accustomed to the USUALLY (or previously) good tasty food. Then we waited for 40 min after soggy bland tofu appetizer and finally salmon sushi arrives at room temp (oughtta be cool and firm, no?) like super soggy, soft, warm, and excessively pungent fishy smell and taste. We ate 2 pieces out of 20 and simply felt.. idk, not so much robbed of money but guilty of wasting such expensive food. i wish i had more courage to tell them but things never seem to roll along w/ my personal preference(s) so i just live and try to learn..

I came across this place after finishing a hike at twin lakes and headed back to downtown. I came here strictly for the reviews and let me tell you, it was worth every bite. Started off with the pork gyoza which were delicious, as my main course I tried the orenji sushi and the scallop hand roll so fresh and filling of flavor. My girlfriend tried the 5Alarms ramen and added egg and that is the dish you need to have if you need comfort food. We ended our meal with some mochi ice cream and our server was super sweet and decorated the plate for us. This is a wonderful place with delicious food and impeccable service. You can tell cleanliness and quality is top of mind for theme

Love the food their "Unagi Don" was amazing and honestly the most satisfying way I've had eel. I also tried their miso ramen with 2 soft cooked eggs and grilled chicken which was near perfect lol I added a little bit of extra soy sauce but overall great place. The service was great too our server Ericka was very kind respectful and had great manners. Ask for her if you're stopping by and give her a good tip Ps: my recommendation for drinks is the iced Hokkaido milk tea

Came here for a birthday lunch (tradition to eat noodles on one's birthday in my familyand oh my this ramen is so flavorful for the price and portion. We got the 5-Alarm spicy level 2, and as someone who thought could handle her spiciness, this definitely started to give a real kick as you eat it. I personally felt like if you like prominent spice as you eat this is a good spice level, but if you only like a tinge of spiciness I definitely recommend doing level. The broth was so rich and not oily despite the chili spice. It kind of tasted like a gochujang stew. For the House Tonkotsu ramen the broth was so rich, creamy, and umami, I nearly finished the whole bowl of soup. For both ramens the noodles were nice and bouncy/chewy, the wood eat mushrooms add a nice slight crunch, and the jammy egg just adds even more creaminess to the dish. I do wish they had a side of chili oil or vinegar on the tables like some other ramen places I've been to so you can change it up as you eat, but understand that this is not just a noodle restaurant. The Katana sushi roll had a great ratio of fish to filling. I do think the tuna was a little bit too fishy that it overpowered the other fish slightly. However, definitely hit the spot for my sushi craving because I could actually taste the fish and freshness from the cucumbers. Our server was really considerate too, kept us informed when our ramen came out that the sushi is still being made instead of leaving us wondering if maybe the forgot it. The place was fairly spacious. We went at around 2-3 on a Saturday and there weren't too many people there but it wasn't totally quiet. Will be coming back when that ramen and sushi desire hits!

Loved this fresh sushi . Had to grab it to go but the sashimi was so melt in your mouth tender and only needed a small bit of Wasabi and soy sauce. The Miso soup was nice addition as a palate cleanser.

Food - 4/5 Service - 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 One of the best place for ramen in South of Seattle. I have been eating here since couple of years and taste is consistent. So I know what I'm getting into.

We went to Orenji after a work trip and dined in 12 people! Staff were super friendly and quick. Our drinks came in right away, and the food arrived within 3 minutes of each other. What a great coordination! I had the best bubble tea there! I wouldn't expect to fall in love with my bubble tea from a restaurant! Half of our table went with chicken katsu ramen and honestly it was the best I have ever had. First of they are the first restaurant bringing the katsu on the side to prevent the sogginess.. what a smart idea! Their chili oil was amazing! I usually can't finish my ramen but I ate everything! What a wonderful experience. One of us had a birthday and they brought complimentary mochi for whole table. If we ever visit again, definitely going back there!

The food is delicious. The cleanliness is excellent. I would give 5 star if the waitress could have explained the "Lunch Special" on the sign in the entry. But she couldn't tell me. And on top of that, we wanted to order a carry out and she didn't under. Thus no order. Good food, irritating service.

Got the 5 alarms ramen. Normally 5/5 spiciness isn't uncomfortable for me but this is the first time in a long while it's been hot enough to burn. Incredible stuff, highly recommend it. Also got the chirashi don, that was incredible.
