To start, I ordered the honey jalapeño tater tots, and they were absolutely AMAZING. Without a doubt, these are the best tater tots I've ever had! Someone give Napoleon Dynamite a call—he’s going to want to try these! They totally deserve a 5/5 rating! Next up were the chili oil wontons, which were also fantastic. However, since they didn’t stand out compared to other chili oil wontons I’ve had, I’m giving them a 4/5. Now, onto the main attraction! Sue suggested the Barramundi Noodles (grilled barramundi over roasted cauliflower with noodles in spicy Thai green curry), and it was an experience that left me speechless. Absolutely incredible! I can honestly say I can’t wait to come back. Seriously, you need to check this place out!

I'm a big fan of miso-based ramen, and feeling adventurous, I opted for the regular spicy miso (there's a non-spicy option too). It was delicious! However, given that I have a low spice tolerance, I think I'll go for the non-spicy version next time. The chicken karaage was delightful! It was served on the side, so it remained crispy, and I could easily enjoy it over rice. I liked it so much that I asked if I could order another serving of karaage as a side, and thankfully, I could! I also dipped the karaage in the spicy miso broth, and it was a fantastic combination! The flavors were simply incredible. My partner ordered the pork loin ramen, which was also delicious and had a broth that I actually preferred! But I don't want this review to drag on, so I’ll save the details for another time when I return and try the Pork Loin Ramen myself!

The salmon noodle soup (I can't recall its exact name) featured a flavorful and unforgettable broth — and I've tried many ramen and pho spots before. It was packed with veggies! The chicken over ginger noodles was both delicious and satisfying. In my opinion, they also have a good selection of drinks. They provided tongs, additional plates, and soup bowls for each dish when we mentioned that we were sharing and dining family-style.
