A lifesize DragonBallZ action figure, which everyone knows is a must at any self-respecting Japanese restaurant. (Also, the decor is much more tasteful than you would imagine, given my previous sentence. It's quite nice in here.) 3. Comfortable booths in which to sit. 4. Quick, on point service from the staff. 5. Tasty gyoza. 6. Fresh, delicious sushi whether you're looking for maki, nigiri, specialty rolls that I'm sure don't exist in Japan, or anything else. Truly, this is the dinner stop I've been looking for on Route 17. Everyone in my family enjoyed it. We have yet to try the ramen, but I see it in our future on a winter stop.

On a Friday night, the place initially seemed quiet but in a matter of minutes filled up with diners (Don't judge just based on when you happen to go.) Servers are efficient and dishes come quickly, and the sashimi quality impresses! Well-plated, fresh, flavorful. The bubble drinks are nicely prepared as well. Recommended for anyone looking for a quality sushi spot.

In fact, if they were open now I might grab some breakfast. They are located outside of the main downtown in the plaza with Greenway. That's a good thing as downtown can be a logistical nightmare to park and grab a quick bite. Menya has a small, comfortable seating area. The menu is simple with a few delicious broth bases and a wider variety of noodle, protein or veggie ingredients. Service is quick and friendly, and you'll wonder how you got that bowl full of goodness in your tummy so quickly!

Menya Ramen House caught my eye with pics of its clear broth, so i paid a visit for a quick lunch…read moreon a Sunday. It's a small restaurant located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. For lunch, I tried the shoyu ramen with a soft boiled egg and side of spicy oil. The broth was light and flavorful. The chashu was very tender and seared nicely. The shoyu came with straight noodles instead of wavy, but it was still good. The bowl had menma, as well as red and green onions. I enjoyed the bowl so much, we went back for dinner the same day. For dinner, I tried the shio ramen, which was basically the same thing, but with a sea salt tare instead of soy sauce. I also got wavy noodles this time and I definitely prefer the wavy noodles. Once again, it came with red and green onion, which i think is a bit overpowering. I would get just green onion next time. The family/couple sets seem to be a great deal. I would definitely return.

Nothing really stood out to me as far as flavor or noodle texture. The curry was almost all just sauce over rice so I would pass on this dish next time. Loved the fried chicken though. Crunchy non the outside and super juicy on the inside. The dipping sauce had a slight kick to it but was manageable. The gyoza was average as well. Overall, a pleasant experience. The inside is spacious and clean. Staff are friendly and service was fast.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Really, really, reallllllly good ramen and food (and just as good as our 1st time 4 years ago!) ++++ Pork Buns - Each order comes with 1 bun, so you can order 1 at a time. Pork was shredded and a little dry, but the Japanese mayo and other ingredients made it very good. ++++ Green Curry Ramen - EXCELLENT curry flavor, but it wasn't too strong. Ramen was cooked perfectly and plenty of ingredients inside, including 2 slices of cha siu and a half of a soft boiled egg. ++++ Blackbeard Ramen - Also fantastic broth flavor too and same comment as above regarding their ramen. ++++ Kids Tonkotsu Ramen - At just $7, this is a steal for a kids ramen. There was 1 piece of cha siu in it, but it was excellent for a kids bowl. + Food comes out fairly quickly. + Private parking lot, but it was packed on an early Saturday evening. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Service was a little disappointing. ---- One (young) waitress seemed very inpatient and was a bit flustered throughout the evening. Didn't appreciate her lack of cordialness. - Interior is tight. ---- There are only 5 tables in the restaurant and all of them can accommodate 2-4 people, MAX. There is also counter seating too for about 4-5 people. - It was freeezing inside when we came in on a frigid January Saturday evening, so keep your jacket on! MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We arrived at about 5:45 PM on a January Saturday evening and snagged the last available table. Turnover is relatively quick here though because all people are eating is ramen, but there was a large party of about 8 people waiting a good 15-25 minutes after we were seated.

I think that during the week or on another weekend parking wouldn't be that difficult to find. When you enter, you see the cool art on the walls, and there are multiple booths and tables to sit at. I ordered the chicken ramen and my friend ordered the curry rice dish. Our food was brought out quick. Server was nice. I didn't try the curry so I can't comment on that, but the ramen was pretty average for me. The chicken was dry, but the broth was warm and flavorful. Not sure if I would get ramen here again but open to trying other things on the menu.

While the ramen and tonkatsu did taste well, I cannot stop thinking about the mouse that I saw running from the kitchen into the drink bar/reception area. We told the server and she was surprised since she said she never saw a mouse apparently. She mentioned she'd tell her manager before I immediately saw her text someone on the phone. Our server never mentioned about the mouse again since then. Or care to tell someone from her team at the restaurant about it. Having a mouse at a restaurant isn't normal and someone should look at this pest problem immediately. I felt like my word wasn't enough for the server to care to make a change. She didn't even ask where exactly did I see it. Wouldn't she want it removed asap? There were customers eating and the mouse could've headed their way. It'd be nice to be comforted by her saying that she did message her manager and the pest problem will be looked at immediately. Unfortunately, she didn't so I don't feel safe eating at the restaurant anymore no matter how good the food was.

I also saw the Boba tea flyer and decided to get that too. I got the Taro one per the recommendation of the staff. I was glad I tried it since it was nice sweet and refreshing. They play some chill jazz music and serve your sushi on a cool wooden platform. They also threw in a small miss soup. Wish they had more variety for the vegetarian options and should consider adding a lunch special.
