We went after the Japan SpringFest after seeing their vendor pop up having an enormous line at the…read moreevent! We figured, if the lines are that long, we should try the restaurant! Seems we weren't the only ones with that idea as the restaurant was packed to the brim! After a 40min wait, we were seated within view of the kitchen, which I enjoy. Everything we got was absolutely delicious. The ramen noodles are perfectly springy and chewy, the takoyaki were full of meat and flavor, and the curry rice was rich and savory!! The only thing not enjoyable was the bao bun, just because it was 90% fat and no flavor. The wait for everything from our server was long each time, but I'm sure it was due to the event causing chaos and keeping them constantly at max capacity. I'd absolutely love to come back and try more of their ramen dishes.

My daughter wanted noodles again, so we decided to give this place a try--and I'm glad we did! This…read morespot caught me by surprise. It's located inside a building with a cute coffee shop upstairs. The staff was friendly and welcomed us as soon as we walked in. There was no wait, so we were seated right away. The menu offered a variety of ramen options, and our server recommended the Shoyu ramen for my 3-year-old daughter. I added cabbage and mushrooms for some extra veggies. The food took about 15 minutes to arrive, so my daughter started getting a little restless, but as soon as the bowls hit the table, she was all smiles. The food was delicious, and we both enjoyed it. Most importantly, it earned the ultimate seal of approval--3-year-old approved! We'll definitely be back.

I chose the curry chicken katsu, which was generously portioned and came with pickled radish, kimchi, and a side salad. For about $15, this dinner was a steal. Service was quick! Would be interested in trying their desserts in the future.

The staff, drinks, food, music and overall atmosphere are consistently exceptional. The cocktail menu is fantastic. My personal favorite is the painkiller - a delicious blend of coconut, rum, orange, pineapple, and nutmeg. It's served in a skull glass and tastes absolutely perfect. I also appreciate that they make their noodles in house! Have you ever had a meal you can't stop thinking about? That's exactly how I feel about the shoyu ramen. It features their noodles, truffle zest, pork belly, egg, veggies and chicken in a deeply flavorful broth. Order a side of rice and dip it into the broth and thank me later! Patio seating available.

Even though they were busy the wait was not very long and the host was so nice and I wish I could remember his name. Our server was so nice and kind and made great recommendations. I had the mocktail Nohito and it was sooo cute and delicious! The others had cocktails and a bottle of coke (yes glass bottle)- cute right?! Now we had the Karange tofu and I need that recipe! The crispiest most flavorful tofu outside and nice and soft inside. Couldn't tell it wasn't chicken! We also had oysters. For dinner I had the Katsu Curry and it was on point! And the leftovers were just as delicious. My sister had the Tantanmen and it was sooo good!! I could drink that broth. They do give you options for rice instead of noodles and broth if you like options. We also shared the Glazed tofu and yall it will change your LIFE!!! Cute monkeys hanging out everywhere with beautiful string lights and a classy understated tiki vibe. Please go here if you haven't yet. You'll thank me later

The interior was a vibe with dim lighting that made the rainy meal experience even cozier. Ordering is easy either through the staff or a self ordering kiosk. I ordered a Hokkaido Miso ramen and sat down. Before I could pull out my phone my ramen came out piping hot. As I sipped and slurped my way through the ramen I tasted a rich and savory broth. It had a soft red miso flavor to it which complimented the fresh veggies, chasu and the egg. The chasu was thick and tender. The noodles were cooked perfectly too. I liked the addition of corn to finish up the soup at the end. If I'm in the area again I will be stopping for bubble tea as the menu looked great!

Thankfully, Yujo Ramen & Boba Tea was right up the road. It's tucked into the commercial strip off Meridian and 96th--you could almost miss it if you're not paying attention. I'll be honest: I arrived around 1:30pm and it was completely empty, which caught me off guard. But the vibe was nice and calming, the menu was extensive (ramen and boba options for days), and I landed on the spicy miso ramen--exactly what I needed to warm me up. Nailed it. The broth was rich, savory, and comforting with just the right amount of heat. Every ingredient tasted vibrant and fresh. The green onions, tender pork, and perfectly marinated soft-boiled egg were the ideal companions swimming in that spicy miso goodness. On a gray, cold Indianapolis day, this bowl absolutely hit the spot. Can't wait to come back and try the boba.

I had the Agadashi Tofu. I was happy they have it on the menu. At other places it's been served warm almost like a soup in a bowl. Here it was served cold with very little sauce and lots of fish flakes. Not sure if I would order it again. The Bento Box was served with California rolls, white rice, and gyoza (YUM!). They were nice enough to sub the traditional chicken served for Katsu style which was delicious! A very generous portion of meat. The spring rolls tasted like the kind you get at a Thai restaurant and were 10/10. Neither of us were crazy about the sushi though. We also tried the spicy tuna crunch roll.
