The vegan ramen is so good, especially they have the option of smaller size. The Chilean sea bass is very fresh.

Chris Laxamana

Best dishes: Yellowtail sashimi w jalapeño citrus soy, the karaage is fantastic, Chashu Pork , Angeleno roll, and any of the Ramen ; best Ramen I've ever had! Call ahead to make a reservation !

Teddy

They have this tofu thing that they make in front of you. It looks cooler than it tastes but it also tastes pretty good. The omakase is a great deal too - lots of food.

Tom Patterson

Very good value lunch specials . I loved the ramen and sushi special . They also have convenient power outlets at the sushi bar to top off your phone.

Leslie Monchin

Melt in yo mouth. Chicken and oysters , tsukune, pork chashu , shrimp toast were all delish. Order the ramen half-size! Black ramen ftw

John Mendez

It's a little cramp during the lunch crowd. It's a small space and lots of patrons. Be sure to come early to get seats.

Terrence (Blair-Washington) Prince

Great places for skewers and the ramen bowls are perfect for a rainy day.

Jason Cadreau

Such an amazing place! Try their "Special" ramen (Only a few orders made daily), the salmon skewers , the shrimp toast and the Japanese pumpkin !

Corinne Stoppelli

The spicy chicken ramen (karamen) is one of the best i ever had. Delicious menu, affordable !

Lane Pelovsky

Ramen here is fabulous! Also, try the unfiltered sake and the albacore truffle roll : you'll be blown away????

Benjamin Palmer

the robata! lotus root , enoki mushrooms , salmon belly . and the fresh tofu .

noseph

If you want a ridiculously amazing dinner , take the chef 's suggestions and order all the signature dishes - it will succeed in blowing your mind!! Best Ramen I've had to date!

Mauricio

Order the Homemade Organic Tofu (highly tasty) but don't serve it until you wait at least 5 mins 'til it solidifies! Better yet just ask your server or let him or her handle it.

Dani LeNoir

Love the crispy shrimp balls , asparagus skewers , lollipop kale and hand rolls !

LA Weekly

"When you're in the mood for miso-marinated beef tongue , or the delicate chicken meatballs called tsukune, or delicate grilled shiitakes , you're probably in the right restaurant ." - Jonathan Gold Read more

Came for lunch and left unimpressed. Sushi rice was heavy with starchy feel & taste. Tempura average. Kids meal OK, with highlight being the chicken meatballs . I would give this a miss

The assorted sashimi was the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life.
