    My husband and I have been craving ramen, so we decided to try this place for the first time. The restaurant itself is very cute and cozy, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing. The service was okay but a bit slow. We ordered chicken ramen, spam musubi, yakisoba, a soda, and the Pinnacle lemonade. The lemonade was extremely sweet and honestly tasted like old, rotten pineapple. I sent it back and let the waitress know I just didn't like it and wouldn't be drinking it. An owner came over to ask about the lemonade. When we explained that it was just too sweet for us and tasted off, he repeatedly insisted that it's "very popular" and that "everybody loves it." He then told us it didn't taste rotten and implied we were wrong. The interaction felt dismissive and rude rather than helpful. As for the food: * The ramen was very bland and lacked flavor. * The yakisoba was extremely salty. We actually ended up mixing the yakisoba into the ramen to give it some flavor, and it was better that way. * The spam musubi tasted good, but unfortunately we found hair in it after we had already eaten most of it. My husband also ordered the tempura sampler, which according to the menu includes shrimp, popcorn chicken, calamari, onion, and potato. However, it also came with fried jalapeños, which were not listed on the menu. My husband bit into one unexpectedly, which wasn't pleasant since we weren't told they were included. After we left, neither of us felt well. We both became nauseous and had stomach pain shortly after eating. While we can't say for certain what caused it, it honestly felt like possible food poisoning, which made the whole experience even worse. Overall, while the restaurant has a cute atmosphere, the food quality, cleanliness concerns, and the way the owner handled feedback left a bad impression. We really wanted to like this place, but based on this experience, we wouldn't return or recommending.

    Don't forget to put spicy sauce on top yum yum

    Great food. Great Service. This has become one of your favorites spot. Spicy is truly spicy but delicious. Atmosphere is small and cozy, the service has been great and pretty quick. Chef has provided a great personal experience.

    Great deal for less than $15 called Kuromi rice plate. Service was quick and attentive. Ambiance is cozy and welcoming. I will return for sure.

    Will definitely come back again, I got the mild beef Ramen so delicious. Great Customer service. I even took two more bowls to go for my children to try, location is small so seating might be a problem but it's worth the wait see you soon again.

    Sadly, I was trying to support a local Business, since I work at a school nearby. 1. It took over an hour to deliver my food, thankfully my uber eats currier was patient. 2. They did not include chopsticks, wasabi/ginger and only 2 napkins. 3. I ordered two rolls and edamame. The sushi was fishy, soggy seaweed, my so called "crispy" onion (was soggy) albacore roll. Sadly I will never order from there again. Uber eats had it as a 4.5, not sure what Yelp has it as... but it doesn't deserve more than a 1-2.

    I'm a first-time visitor to this place. I had to drive from San Diego to LA for an appointment, and the second stop was this gem. I highly recommend it! Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors and quality of the food were spot-on. And the owners are so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back! We order Udon with beef 10/10 Dumplings 10/10 Spam musubi 10/10 Tonkatsu ramen 10/10 Beef ramen 10/10 California roll 10/10

    Well the service is good and the food is great but some menu prices aren't direct. It's unclear what the final price will be. The ambience is alright for people that like ramen.

    Good atmosphere and manages to set itself apart from surrounding restaurants. Staff seem to enjoy working here and are patient and helpful with first timers and very knowledgeable of the menu and spot on with recommendations. Food looks and smells amazing. This restaurant definitely has what it takes to be a staple of the community.

    This is my fourth time coming to this place and I always been satisfied service is a 10/10 food is always on point and I totally recommend this place!

    My first time here was underwhelming to say the least. We came on a rainy day, they only had 1 person serving tables, waiting for over an hour for our food. And over 30 min for just waters. Decided to come back because the ramen was actually pretty great. And the older gentleman was very nice. This time to go, currently waiting for our food. It is so nice in here, and the owner just decorated for Christmas!

    Beef Bento box

    Food was good I really enjoyed their bento box it came with California roll, tempura & I chose beef. The food came fast after we ordered for sit down. The anime pictures around are so cute & they have high chairs. Would recommend (:

    Food was great, nice restaurant, friendly staff

    I love yuzu shoyu ramen. It's hard to find a place that serves yuzu flavored ramen, so I was…read moreexcited to see that Afuri is known for it. I had it in Japan before and it was delicious! They offer Yuzu Shio (salt broth) and Yuzu Shoyu (soy sauce broth) Ramen. I went with Yuzu Shio ($19.50). The yuzu gives it a refreshing/bright taste that really cuts through the fatty broth and pork. Yuzu Limeade ($7) and although I liked the drink because it had a strong yuzu and lime taste, I wouldn't recommend getting it with a yuzu flavored ramen because it takes away the yuzu flavor in the ramen. Service was friendly and attentive. The space is open and bright. We paid for parking just to the side of the restaurant so that we didn't have to deal with street parking.

    Good ambiance, definitely. Good service, yes. Good food, yes. Good value.. no, not really…read more Came for their 6th anniversary where it was 50% all ramen. Got their signature Yuzu Shio which was about $10 (normally $19.50!!), as well as their Afuri Roll which the server recommended ($23). The ramen rather had a small portion, but was balanced and pretty good - and the broth was definitely on the lighter tasting side, good for people who wants a cleaner taste. I ended up using chili oil on the side to spice things up. The Afuri Roll wasn't anything special, and a bit on the dry side but it had a nice variety of different fish inside. Overall, considering all the other competitive ramen joints in the area that have a more competitive price/portion/variety, I'm not sure if I'd give this place another go given the price. Great vibes though!

During the pandemic, I loved ordering their ramen kit and making our own tuskemen. However, I have to say the quality of the food from this location seems to be poorer. I ordered the spicy pork tsukemen. The noodles were a bit soft that I think they were overcooked for a few seconds longer. It didn't have the chewy bouncy texture that I was expecting. The broth seemed to be missing a few toppings that was promised in the menu, there was no green onion, chopped chashu and menma. Overall I enjoyed the ramen, and it was still good, but just not as good as I remembered. The service was just okay as well. I did think the waitress tried her best, but she was the only one person working during Sunday lunchtime. It was very hard to get her attention. I can't help but feel a bit disappointed with this experience. I'm not sure if I'm going to come back.
