The sashimi bowl was actually spicy too, not too much but you could definitely taste it. The vegetable gyoza were actually a delightful surprise, i could have had bowls of that alone. Highly recommend that! The staff were friendly and efficient and although the restaurant isn't that big, the ambiance is nice and cozy. Definitely try stopping by if you're in chinatown!

Lots of flavor and that pork loin melts in your mouth! Would definitely come again. Service was also great! We did come right when it opened so we were the first ones there and it did get busy pretty quickly. The place is kinda small so I can see there being wait times if all seats are taken.

The servers are super attentive. You wont wait longer than 15 min for your food to be served. Also, for those who haven't been to this location just know the place is small. Perfect for a group of 4 or smaller.

The addition of pork rinds, fresh wood ear mushrooms, and sprouts provides an excellent crunch to the ramen. I will definitely return to try their other flavors!

The decor was pleasant, but if you prefer more personal space, it might be best to order for takeout, as the seating arrangements are quite cramped. However, I didn't let that bother me. The only downside was the timer in the kitchen that went off every few minutes, which was a bit distracting.
