Was not expecting too much given the widely varying menu covering Chinese, Japanese Ramen, Thai and Vietnamese foods but was pleasantly surprised! The food here is pretty good and comes out fast from the kitchen. I tried the Seasame chicken plate, spicy edamame and Tonkatsu Ramen. I can recommend all the dishes. Ramen tasted great, the soup had flavor, maybe not as good as the places in San Jose, but not bad at all. Soft boiled egg and braised pork slices were on point. Spicy Edamame was sautéed in garlic chili oil which provided a nice light kick. Seasame chicken was nice and crispy fried with a side of rice and steamed broccoli. All in all a nice hearty meal at a reasonable price.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Walked in, saw a kid behind the counter, and immediately knew the food was going to hit. It was delicious from the first bite. I personally recommend the takoyaki, shrimp udon, and shrimp pho! Definitely give it a chance, it is well worth the money

One of my favorite places in Sanford, NC. Family owned and operated. They serve beautiful and quite authentic dishes. I try something different every time I go. This time I had the miso ramen. It was delicious. The serving size was larger than I expected and despite my best efforts, I couldn't finish my bowl. The dumplings are WOW! Go hungry, with an adventurous pallet, enjoy a great meal and leave full and happy.
