We were excited to hear about a ramen spot that had gluten free noodles as an option. We came on a cold day so it was perfect for some hot ramen. This place is neat and a little different. You come in and order on an iPad or from your phone. You can easily customize your order by adding extra, or omitting things in the menu items. You seat yourself and wait for your order to come out. There are a few tables there but not a ton. It was busy so we waited a little while but eventually our food came out. We started with the yakitori negima. It was tasty but some of the chicken was ice cold. Which shouldn’t be possible if the skewers are fired on a hot grill. It freaked me out because I wasn’t sure if it was cooked all the way through. I hope it is precooked and then heated up and charred on the grill but that was unclear. I did send it back and the servers didn’t seem to believe me. They finally brought us back what I returned and it had more char marks and was hot this time. Unfortunately, the thought of possibly having bitten into raw chicken kind of turned my stomach after this. Next was ramen, the portions were generous and everything was cooked well. The flavors were nice and the addition of gf noodles was wonderful. It is by far the best ramen I’ve had in this area. Which is a treat because most of the ramen in this area is very sub par. I’d like to come back and have some other menu items. Hopefully, they will make sure to leave the skewers on long enough next time.

Cozy and super cute ramen and tea shop. The food is amazing and filling ( especially the pork cutlet bao buns). There is always anime playing on the T.V and when you’re done eating you can buy yourself a blind box on the way out. Everyone there is super sweet and helpful. We have quickly become regulars! <3

This Ramen restaurant is a hidden gem! The Ramen bowls are sooo delicious and the bubble teas taste so good. We also ordered the BEST gyoza I've ever had which they hand make each day. We went two days in a row...it was that good. The women working there were so pleasant and explained how to order and even gave recommendations. This restaurant did not disappoint one bit and if I could give it 10 Stars I would! We will definitely be frequent customers for sure!
