    Izakaya w/ Japanese tapas & non-traditional ramen & great HH drinks. Stay away from the skimpy yakitori sticks. Order the Uni ramen w/ tomato, scallion, & Parmesan, grilled edamame, & fried squid legs

    Pineapple & lychee mojitos are good @ $6 during M-F 4-8pm HH. Deep fried squid legs is decent & Grilled Edamame is 1 of best edamame apps V & I have ever had! LC, pls make this a regular menu item. 😋

    Izakaya w/ tapas & non-traditional ramen. Wish broth less salty & thick in Uni ramen w/ tomato, scallion, & Parmesan.Fried squid legs had light & tasty seasoning. Char shu buns were not too fatty&good

    Nice vibes inside like a dimly lit izakaya, with reasonable prices. Chikuwa is my go-to app! Small warm house sake is a small carafe for $10. The sukiyaki could be better. Will still be back!

    Get the volcano. Best Japanese hotpot I've had here and in Japan. Add some udon at the end to fully utilize the soup. Karaage and brussels sprouts are solid starters.

    Under rated for sure! Have been to dozens of ramen places in the city and this is better than most. Prices are super reasonable and no wait. Pork buns were great too.

    Get the "lucky cat" ramen, well balanced portion of toppings, ramen, and noodles. On the same level of totto ramen! You can choose thick or thin noodles for your ramen.

    Lucky cat ramen is excellent, pork bun is awesome, spicy tuna and pork rice bowls are delish. Cant wait to try the hot pot volcano. Open til 4am weekends, prices are really great.

    The lucky cat ramen is a great start. Broth is very flavorful and the pork is nice and tender. The pork bun was disappointing, drown in mayo. Try the Japanese wheat beer Kawaba.

    It's not a classy but a great place to have comfort food.The spicy tuna tacos are good and the ramen is not bad. Quite place to have drinks with friends. Check it out if you are in midtown east.

    Sukitama Don is the most delish gyudon (thinly-sliced beef rice bowl) in my hood. 😋 Too bad they didn't give as much sauce when you take it to go.
