After spending the afternoon crafting together, my mom, my daughter, and I decided to find a place…read morefor dinner. We chose Koshi Eats completely on a whim, and wow, what a fantastic surprise! We arrived around 5:15 p.m. and were surprised to see only one other couple dining there. The restaurant was spotless, inviting, and had a calm atmosphere. As we looked through the menu, we were immediately impressed. It wasn't that the menu was huge, it was thoughtfully designed and made everything sound fresh, flavorful, and high quality. One thing that really stood out was the variety of noodle options. I loved being able to choose between thin straight noodles, thick wavy noodles, udon noodles, and spinach noodles. It's such a fun way to customize your meal and something I don't often see at ramen restaurants. The food absolutely exceeded our expectations. The presentation was beautiful, each bowl looked like it belonged in a food magazine, and we couldn't wait to dig in after taking numerous photos! The first bite had us looking at each other in disbelief. Every dish was bursting with flavor. The broth was rich, complex, and absolutely delicious. It was one of those meals where everyone at the table keeps commenting on how good the food is between bites. I ordered the Hellfire Ramen with tofu, my daughter had the Garlic Punch Ramen, and my mom ordered the Japanese-style dry bowl (similar to bibimbap). Every dish was outstanding. I honestly think I was making happy noises with every bite because everything tasted so good. The noodles were cooked to perfection, the flavors were incredible, and every component of the meal felt thoughtfully prepared. My daughter loved hers, my mom loved hers, and we spent the entire meal talking about how YUMMY everything was. What surprised me most was discovering afterward that some of the online reviews are relatively low. Had I read them beforehand, I might have chosen somewhere else, and that would have been a huge mistake. Our experience was exceptional from start to finish. The only downside is that it's quite a drive from home, but it was absolutely worth it. Koshi Eats is one of those rare places you stumble upon unexpectedly and then can't stop thinking about afterward. We left already talking about when we could come back. If you're anywhere near this restaurant, do yourself a favor and give it a try. We certainly will be back.

We arrived here a bit early like before noon on a Thursday. So we had to kill sometime in the Delta…read moreShores area bc actual time they opened wasn't until 12 noon! The ramen broth was not super hot like how I enjoy my soup plus the toppings were cold (no bueno) but my wife enjoyed hers tremendously. Unfortunately she can't eat this all the time bc she has to watch what she eats. It did satisfy her craving for ramen however. She had the spinach noodles original tonkatsu style ramen which I had the same except I had the larger flat noodle instead. You have a choice of 4 different noodles. The pork, egg & toppings were satisfying for her. Thank goodness. But I'm super picky about my soup & ramen!!! It is an order at the front & pay up front counter style of restaurant. Then seat yourselves anywhere in the restaurant. The mural on the wall was an awesome piece of artwork which they did an amazing job of it so it made the ambiance of the restaurant a little more appealing than super minimalistic bare casual. Too bad my wife can't eat this all the time. But we will come back another later time as it was just ok for me. I may have to specifically request for very hot soup & not cold toppings!!! lol not sure if they can do that...

For a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't busy at all. We were the only ones there at first. Ordered the…read moreBlack Garlic Ramen ($16), the Ungai Don ($13), Takoyaki ($10) on the side. I feel like the prices were fairly decent. Not too expensive. The food came out pretty quick. Food was good too. The server was very attentive and refilled our waters. The restaurant is spacious with lots of seating right when we were gonna finish the restaurant started getting busy. So we came at a perfect time. What surprised me about this Ramen place is that they also sell Hawaiian BBQ, which is not very common. I would come back here again.

We have tried their Hawaiian BBQ dishes before and we liked it. So this time, we wanted to try…read moretheir ramen. I tried Shoyu Ramen (Chashu pork, fish cake, boiled egg, mushrooms and veggies). The broth is on the bland side, but it's a pretty looking bowl of ramen. I wish the pork is slightly thicker though. My daughter has Vegetable Ramen (tofu and veggies). She enjoyed her bowl and found the noodles chewy with good textures. She finished the broth. My husband has Teriyaki Chicken. Overall, it's a decent lunch.

I hadn't been here for years and recently came back with a friend. I ended up opting for a vegan…read moretantanmen. I was so glad I got a vegan tantanmen. Usually I would opt to order a ramen shop's specialty, such as the Maru Ramen, which I believe I had previously, and I remembered it being pretty good. The vegan tantanmen had a vegan broth, mushrooms, fried burdock, grilled eggplant, and other toppings. The mushrooms and fried burdock made the ramen really good. I wished I had more grilled eggplant! I did not miss the meat at all with this dish. The vegan broth was surprisingly rich for being vegan. Service was very nice. The restaurant is connected to MooMoo, so you can walk right through there. There is also plenty of seating. Outside there is also plenty of parking. Overall, I would highly recommend Maru!

We were passing through and decided to get some ramen, when we found Maru not too far from our…read morelocation. It was Monday afternoon and walked it and wasn't busy. The menu had different ramens, sides, wings, and garlic noodles. Things are little pricier, but comparable to other ramen places lately. We got the Tori Paitan with extra noodles, and the Tantanmen. Our ramen came out pretty fast. The chasu pieces were pretty big, and we loved it include a whole marinated egg. The broth on the paitan was deep and rich. The noodles were nice, and there was good amount given in the extra noodles. Both ramens were pretty filling that we needed to bring leftovers home. The staff were helpful and quick to refill out waters. They are connected to a boba place which we found cool. We also loved the cool wall mural, reminding us of the alleyways in Japan.

I really like coming here for the affordable Ramen and there are very generous portions too. I…read morereally like the pork broth noodle soup and it is made with a 10-hour broth. . For the appetizers they do have your deep fry calamari which is really good and I like the batter it isn't too hard but really light and fluffy. . I also really like their potstickers which is pan fried golden brown on one side and it is pretty fluffy also it is filled with pork and vegetable inside. Also did you home make it so I love that it's not store-bought. . They also have really great deep fried chicken nuggets with tender chicken thigh and it is a great appetizer with a good creamy dip. . They also have takoyaki which is like a flour batter with octopus. I also love all the sauces that they have on top of it. . They also have a really nice pork belly bun which is really good. The barbecue pork belly is Char grilled to Perfection and has a really nice taste to it with fresh fluffy buns. . They also have really great scrambled egg with ginger and beef over rice which is really good like a Japanese style. . I also really like the pork bone broth and I also like their curry chicken ramen which is a special and is not on the menu but if you ask for it they can make it for you. The port bone broth you can add a chili oil which is red or the black which is the black garlic oil or just leave it plain. I love the generous portion of the noodles and the eggs too. . Overall I really like coming here when I am in the area shopping at Costco before or after. The service here is really friendly like family oriented. The Ambiance in here is casual to family friendly. This is located on Stockton Boulevard in South Sacramento. Thanks for reading and have a yelp-tastic day.

Popped into E Ramen as a party of 3. The restaurant is new so the decor is very modern and clean…read morewith an open kitchen behind the counter. We were the only customers before (I can only assume is) the owner's extended family spilled in and made a lot of noise with a mother loudly shushing the children. I will admit I was very hangry when I arrived and the mother was louder and more annoying than the kids as she kept shushing and threatening to take away tablets. Service was very muted due to the family whirlwind. We started off with the karaage and ordered white tonkotsu, red tonkotsu, and tsukemen. I can't recommend the karaage as it was extremely gristly. Even in my very hungry state I did not like it. Tonkotsu broth is light with a good amount of flavor and the noodles cooked well. I found the tsukemen to be the best dish and the dipping broth was the most flavorful and the chilled noodles made them bouncier. Give the tsukemen a try if you're feeling a cold noodle dish! Overall this is good ramen, especially for the portion and price. I've seen restaurants come and go at this location so I hope they do well. I do see that other yelpers love this spot! My standards for ramen are quite high and I have yet to find a ramen that ticks all my boxes in Sac so I don't think I'll find myself back here.

I am super impressed by this establishment. When we walked in, we were greeted right away. We went…read morewhen they opened at 5 for dinner. This place is such a gem. I am so glad I tried it. I've been craving for the unagi since I left. I'm not even typically an unagi lover. Service was amazing, water refills constantly, patience when we were looking over the menus, and prompt clearing of the table for more dishes to come out. The decor is beautiful, love the photos on the wall. Booth seating was comfortable. Food was spectacular. It is my new favorite place for ramen. A5 Wagyu- 10/10 melted in my mouth and with the hit of wasabi elevated the flavors. Loved it. Didn't love the price. $34 for 2 servings. Chicken skin 8/10 could've been more crispy. Flavor was on point. Had a bit of a kick to it. Tan tan ramen 10/10 best tan tan I've had here. The noodles were perfect, had a bounce to it, the flavor was there, I added corn, bokchoy was so delicious, the meat was amazing, the egg was cooked to perfection. Great portion. Chicken thigh 10/10. Great flavor. Very juicy. Cooked great. Chicken karaage 10/10. The meat was very tender and juicy, and fried perfectly. The sauce served with it was delicious with the squeeze of lemon. Shitake mushroom... I did not eat. But my husband enjoyed it & says he would order it again. Unagi- 10/10. Wow this was sooooo good. It was buttery, savory, and sweet. Perfectly cooked. Flavored really good. Pork belly 9/10 love that it came with green onion. Just wish it was a bit on the crispier side. Flavored well. It melted in my mouth. Chicken gizzards-- bland. 1/10 Beef curry 8/10. Wish the beef was stewed or in cubes. Served with rice. Husband and I were not a fan of the sliced beef. Flavor was good. Potato and carrots cooked well. Not a fan of the sweet radish. Sunomono 8/10 jt was delicious and delivered the acidity needed to palette cleanse in between Soba noodles 9/10. Loved that it came with tempura. Cold served noodles. Well flavored and noodles cooked well. Great portion.

What a cool little spot!…read more My wife and I enjoyed ourselves. I love Izakayas, but there are only a few scattered all over the Sacramento area. While Tanuki did not have all the dishes expected at an Izakaya like Bichoyaki, it still has excellent yakitori and donburi. All the meat skewers were excellent, with chicken thigh, heart, and skin standing out. I highly recommend coming here and supporting a cool little spot that adds something new to Elk Grove, not to mention the nicest staff.

I asked for sauce on the side for my mine and my child's dish. Good thing I don't use a lot of sauce because they didn't even bother to give any sauce with the kid's dish. I had the beef & chicken teriyaki combo. The beef had some overly hard/chewy parts but it was an enjoyable meal in general. The chicken was cooked well. Service was overall fine. I had to ask for things a couple times repeatedly. So although they seemed to be forgetful, service was friendly. I'd definitely go again to eat out, especially since some of those lunch specials sound good.

I ordered the 2-Item dinner combo and selected the Chicken Karaage and Sesame Chicken for $19,75…read more The miso soup was served with a soup spoon which indicated this is an Americanized Japanese restaurant. Although the food was not traditional Japanese food, it was decent. The server did not know that "nasubi" is Japanese eggplant when discussing options for tempura. There was a request for the broccoli tempura to be substituted with zucchini, however the server had to be reminded of the substitution as broccoli tempura was served. Complimentary cucumber, seaweed, and ginger salad was served. It was delicious as the seaweed complimented the cumber well and the ginger provided additional flavor. The sesame chicken and karaage was cooked perfectly and was not overcooked. Additional sauce for the sesame chicken was provided. The karaage was very flavorful. The dinner combo also included a spicy bean sprout salad which complimented the chicken and rice well. It was very busy on a Sunday during dinnertime. Service was good as the employees were friendly, refilled water, and checked to ensure the food was good.
