Small but supper good Naruto themed noodles house.
The buns are a must have. The Broth is smooth and savory.
It was my first time here and I got the Tokyo Fried Rice with their spicy sauce. It was spicy and extremely delicious, perfection.
My kids food was also very good.
Went on a Friday at 7pm!
I love anime so I was excited to go here due to the theme. It's a cute little place that is short on seating, but that's because of the little area they have. They did set up some seating outside in warmer weather.
They seemed to be extremely under staffed to the point we waited a long time for our food and my ichiraku iced coffee was forgotten until we asked at the end. They do have orders coming in from online so I get that it can be rough to clear tables and food out timely. Once we said we wanted to dine in , they did clear 3 tables so we could choose from 1.
I ordered the grilled chicken ramen and let me tell you the flavor is AMAZING! The chicken was so delicious and the broth had a nice flavor to it as well that soaked up nicely in the egg and the noodles. The noodles to me came out a little bit...tougher than normal/should be I guess I would say. The noodles had different texture in some and others they were just right, which not sure how that happened that they werent all consistent texture (our bowls sat out made while they finished our buns since they came out together maybe?, but let the noodles sit in the broth for few min to get a better/uniform texture if this is the case in yours. I know, eat noodles first usually but this case it was better to let them sit slightly in the broth.
He got a spicy pork ramen which I tried his pork and it was a little fatty. He even said my chicken was better.
The banzai buns were very tasty and recommend to try!
Bubbletea is a must. They have so many flavors...I actually got the ichiraku iced coffee, even though it came out way late and we had to remind her to make it for us, the taste of the coffee was robust (in a good way)
Final say...flavor is on point! Seating is limited so ordering to go ahead of time may be a decent option. If this place can get more staff and keep up with how busy they get to reduce wait times then I think it will become 1 of the best places in town! The price may seem expensive but legit this is what going out to eat costs nowadays people...you leave full so it's worth it, and I even took some food home with me.
I've always gone downtown for a hot, quality bowl of Ramen. I'm so glad I don't have to anymore. The pork melts in my mouth, Ramen had just enough bite, broth was incredibly rich and flavorful. Service was absolutely top notch. Wish there was a bathroom and a bit more space inside but it absolutely matches the theme. Can't wait to go back and take more people to lunch from work.
My brother and I went here back in the fall.
This is a small place, only four or five small tables inside and a few outside, so keep that in mind if you are looking to eat at places with lots of space between customers. Many orders were picked up to-go while we were eating there, so that might be the better alternative.
I got the tonkatsu fried chicken ramen while my brother got one of the pork options. The food was nicely priced, all the main items being between $12 and $15 (online ordering prices). The lady who took our order made sure to tell me that the chicken would have a bit of heat to it. While I normally do not enjoy spiciness, I decided to get it anyways. Right glad that I did, the ramen was amazing! The dish was very flavorful. The spice from the chicken was not super strong, which was a good thing in my opinion. My brother got bubble tea with his meal and enjoyed it immensely. However, he did not think highly of his pork ramen. He did try my chicken ramen and said he would have enjoyed it more than what he had got.
Overall, would definitely order from here again!
