Location; small interior, has some street parking directly across the restaurant. Ambiance: relatively casual! Smaller tables. Food: Really good especially the raw appetizers. The hamachi carpaccio was excellent. The chicken skewer was great, tender, juicy Though I don't know if the portion is enough for the price. Happy hour seems very worth it though? Drinks: we are broke post-grads and did not order any .. maybe next time:)

Came here after work for a quick bite during happy hour! We ordered the Geso Karage (fried squid appetizer), Hotate Miso Ramen (spicy ramen with scallops), and Midori Udon (pesto scallop Udon). Everything was delicious, but the Midori Udon was my favorite. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert. We received excellent service and the food came out quickly. The decor was adorable as well. I'm glad we found this restaurant and will definitely come back.

5/5 for their happy hour menu! $15 for good ramen and $6 for drinks is such a good deal! I had their miso crab ramen and it was delicious - the broth was flavorful and the soft shell crab was great. It also comes with a couple pieces of chasiu! My boyfriend got the tonkatsu curry donburi (also part of the HH menu) which was also tasty - we just wished there was more curry. I also loved my $6 yuzu beer! The only downside is that the HH window is small (5-5:30) and the restaurant is small.

Cute small izakaya with cozy ambiance and friendly service! Good spot for chatting since the noise level isn't too loud. Got here on a Wednesday at 7:30 and there was a short line but it moved really quick! We ordered the tater tots, pumpkin croquette, agedashi tofu, squid karaage, chicken skewers, and softshell crab ramen. All were good, but my favorites were the agedashi tofu, squid karaage, and chicken skewers. Would also definitely recommend giving the softshell crab ramen a try! It's very unique and flavorful. We also got sake, which was great! The prices here are reasonable and it was fantastic ambiance all around.

Cozy hole-in-the-wall with cute decor and a lively ambience. Seating is limited, suitable for small groups of 2-4 people.  We got in and out in no time with a light dinner and speedy service.  *Hotate carpaccio: Yummy yuzu ponzu sauce didn't cover up the fishy taste of the scallops. *Ba-Ra (Garlic Pork Belly): One skewer was melt-in-your-mouth tender, while the other was tough to chew. Despite the inconsistent texture, I loved the seasoning and char! I'd come back again to try their ramen :)

This was the first dinner I had when I was in town and it couldn't have gone any better! Shared this meal with a colleague and we both loved our dishes! I of course went with one of their ramens with some yuzu to drink while my buddy went with some suchi. Everything was just so satisfying! The ramen was thick and rich and not greasy at all! The place is small but intimate and well organized. I loved the decorations they had on the wall (shown in picture). The service was friendly and speedy! A great ramen shop that shouldn't be overlooked by anyone wondering what they should grab for dinner on any given night!

I would like to first start off by saying the restaurant itself is very cute and gave very home-y vibes, which i loved. The area the restaurant is in isn't the best since it's right near the tenderloin and parking may be difficult. The food came out super quick which was nice and the service was good as well. My favorites would have to be the Niku ramen since it was extremely flavorful and the hojicha panna cotta was perfect!! The tofu and the raw scallops were great as well. Cute little date night spot!
