The food is great typically but this time they did not check what they served me because by the time I got home with the take out it has a long hair, please check your food with this place, otherwise they have been good to me. Please check your food before you have customers take it home

Definitely one of the best Asain fusion spots I’ve been to. Me and a group of friends came here. We shared spicy shrimp wontons( amazing) & spicy garlic wings. Then we got the skewers 3 different types. We shared chicken thigh, beef tenderloin, & wagyu beef. My favorite was the beef tenderloin. My buddies each got a beer and loved how smooth it was. Time for the ramen, I got the Spicy Deluxe Paiko Ramen. Amazing !!! Two different kinds of chicken! My buddy got the black garlic ramen and swore it was the best ramen he ever had ! I had a bite and it was splendid, but I still liked mine better ! Restaurant was clean and our server was nice. Definitely you’ll see me back here.

Everything was amazing!!! Definitely recommend! Had the spicy deluxe paiko ramen with chicken and the super deluxe wagyu ramen and pork bao buns. Same spicy broth for both but different ingredients and it was perfection!

I've been here twice now. We were seated pretty quickly both times. Customer service isn't that great after you order drinks. The food keeps us coming back. We ordered: The spicy pork dumplings- flavorful, juicy on the inside and well-seasoned and not too spicy. The miso ramen- Rich and savory broth. The noodles had a nice texture and the portion size was huge. The spicy cucumber salad had great crunch and heat, but on the salty side. The pork xiao long bao had good flavor, but they were a bit dry and didn't have as much soup inside as I expected. Still decent.

We live in Central California and have tried many ramen shops in both Los Angeles and San Francisco—this place is hands down our No.1. It’s a must-eat every time we visit San Diego. Highly recommend the Braised Beef Noodle Soup and the classic chicken or pork ramen. The pickled mustard greens in the beef noodle soup taste incredibly fresh—possibly house-made—and the sour-spicy balance is perfect. The broth is the real soul here. Pro tip: eat the fried chicken or pork cutlet first, right when it’s served, with their house dry spice—crispy outside, juicy inside. The jammy egg and torch-seared chicken show real attention to detail that many ramen shops skip nowadays. We were honestly worried things might have changed after a tough year for the restaurant industry, but we’re so happy to see they’re still here and the quality is just as amazing. This place truly deserves an even higher rating. Trust us—you won’t regret it.
