The ramen was really good! We I'll definitely be returning. The service was great as well, they boxed up our food, checked in on us throughout the meal and filled up our water.

The best ramen place i have been to! I have been on the search in the tacoma/lakewood area for ramen places and just have not had luck. But the flavors are so good here and the food is always fresh and clean, very homey. The noodles are good, i have been comin regularly and it seems they have just continued to better their food. noodle texture was very delicious. Just 10/10 The workers and bosses are very nice and welcoming Overall a great place. Sometimes the prices seem a little high but the portion sizes make up for it completely. Definitely worth the visit

We went here for the ramen. The portions were good, with lots of pork for both the tonkatsu and miso ramens. The broth is delicious but the noodles were clumped together and not chewy. Everything about their ramen is great except for the noodles, which hopefully they'll swap with a different supplier in the future. Cute cafe overall with good selection of bubble tea.

4 stars only because i thought it was kind of pricey for the amount of food. We ordered takeout - I got the chicken katsu dup bap and the chicken was great but hardly had any veggies. My wife got the shrimp tempura dup bap and really enjoyed the shrimp. We also tried the veggie croquettes and enjoyed them a lot! The menu is sizeable so I'm looking forward to trying more in the future.

We have since tried many more items on their menu, doing both take-out and dining-in. From just these experiences, dining in is much better as we found anytime we do take out, the quality of our orders aren't as great as if we were dining in. I'm not sure if this is just coincidence but that was our experience.

Ambiance: cozy, unassuming establishment with tables that remind me of Taiwan. Service: this is where they really shine! Friendly, generous, and attentive. They were welcoming, brought our drinks, filled our waters, checked on us without pressure, and were just very sweet people. Food: ramen was just okay, but I did go on an intense ramen journey thru the best spots in Los Angeles, so this place doesn't really compare to those. If you're looking for a hot bowl of noodle soup, this definitely hits the spot. The sushi and appetizers were very tasty and moderately priced. They also have boba but I was so full I didn't get to try one. Next time!

A quaint and cute café that gives immediate cozy and intimate vibes as you walk in. My boyfriend and I stopped by here for dinner while our dogs were getting groomed nearby. As we entered, we were greeted warmly by the cashier near the register which is pretty close to their entrance. We took some time to look over the menu as they offer all sorts of food and drinks from tasty appetizers, savory ramen, delicious dup baps, and all varieties of teas, smoothies, and more. We decided on the takoyaki, spicy tonkatsu ramen, smoked salmon dup bap, watermelon milk tea, and lychee milk tea. Service was very friendly and they did check up on frequently as well as another table. They always did everything with a smile and it seems that this place accommodates both English and Korean speakers! We were able to sit wherever we wanted freely and chose a small corner in their café. I went to use their bathroom which had the cutest décor and very well-maintained. Once I returned, our drinks were delivered then the rest of our food. The milk teas were made to perfection and the cups are super cute too. My boyfriend really enjoyed his smoked salmon dup bap and devoured the whole thing! I liked the spicy tonkatsu ramen but the broth felt very grainy and wasn't spicy enough, but luckily a woman (whom I believe is the owner) also dropped off chili oil to add to my ramen if I wanted it more spicy which I appreciate. Other than the grainy taste of the ramen, there was a generous amount of ramen toppings and the chashu was delightfully charred. We also enjoyed the takoyaki as well, it had nice pieces of octopus. We definitely will be returning to try out their other items for sure!
