    i think it's ichiddo's sister? NOMd: - niku soba ramen. the noodles were cooked to perfection, broth wasn't too heavy and the pork belly was super flavorful. i should've added some corn and an egg then it would've been perfect. - kimchi ramen. my mom devoured it so must've been decent. service, etc.: we were the only ones here on a friday night which was honestly perf for the vibe we were on. super quick we were in and out less than an hour. our waitress was nice.

    Good experience overall. Had the gyoza and calamari for apps. Calamari sauce was good! Ordered Ramen and I enjoyed it overall. My wife commented the noodles were a bit soft but besides that it had authentic flavor. Server was prompt and polite. We would come back!

    Tsukemen Dipping Ramen ($12.95)
    Chassidie L.

    My review is more so for the food than the service. The service was good. The lady that was working was super sweet and proactive. But the food was just alright. It wasn't the worst, but it wasn't one of the best. 5/5 for service, 3/5 for food, 4/5 for interior, and 5/5 for prices. For food I got the char siu bao bun ($2.50 during happy hour) and the dipping ramen ($12.95). The bun was surprisingly delicious. It doesn't look great in photos, but it was great in my belly. As for the ramen, it was just okay. Not super authentic, kinda salty, and the char siu slices were small. Would I choose to go there again? Probably not, but if I had too I wouldn't be opposed. I do have to add though, their happy hour prices are great and they have it everyday after 3:30pm!

    Crispy Chicken Ramen
    Naureen H.

    We came here for my friend's birthday, and it was so good! The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and pretty clean, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. I shared a tokoyaki with my sister (I've never tried it/anything octopus before), and we both really liked it! It came fresh and hot and tasted like a hush puppy; the octopus also don't have a fishy taste and was kind of like eating a chewy piece of shrimp lol. The crispy chicken ramen was also delicious, as everything was fresh and the broth had a nice umami taste and wasn't too salty (I got a pork-less broth instead of the standard soy sauce broth it comes with). The food was filling but still light enough to not feel too heavy/greasy, and everything came out fast and was so affordable since they have happy hour prices everyday after 3:30PM. Overall, all of us loved the food and would definitely come back again! I also personally really liked this place better than Ichiddo Ramen:)

    Lemon Peach Bubbling Boba
    Claire T.

    Good variety & good portions. Was very impressed by the boba menu, very big & lots of options. Ramen was good, but I've had better. Edamame was cooked well. Decor was very authentic and interesting. Overall a good dinner experience

    Egg roll appetizer-- mushy inside and a little bland
    Stephanie G.

    3 stars for in-restaurant taste, 4 stars for increased ramen flavor in the leftovers the next day. The egg rolls and short rib appetizers were just okay. They were each only $5 due to happy hour (which is daily starting at 3:30). The egg rolls were mushy/soggy inside but the flavor was ok. The short ribs were a little tough, pretty fatty, and not a lot of meat. I got the teriyaki ton ramen (pork) which was also just okay. The miso broth was good just not great. The pork was flavorful and generously portioned. I added a half cooked egg which was perfectly cooked. I was underwhelmed with the entire meal due to lack of flavor UNTIL the next day when I had the leftovers and all of the flavor came out. I probably won't be coming back.

    15. Fried Chicken Bun
    Tuyen P.

    Passed this place a couple times and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is quiet small (probably no more than 8 tables). We were the only one there but saw a lot of takeout orders. I believe they have happy hour everyday. The food is pretty mediocre in my opinion. Thai tea with boba - probably one of the worst Thai tea I've ever tasted. I honestly think the one in the glass bottle tastes better. The bobas were extra hard as well. If you really want boba tea- there's cha yes next door and other boba places close by. It was bland and didn't even taste like Thai tea. 1/5 Chicken karaage- it's not the best presentation from what I've had before. It looks dried but when you eat it, actually pretty juicy. I like spicy Mayo better with it than this sweet and sour sauce but that's just me. 3/5 Fried chicken bun (sorry took a bite before photo) - not bad but would not pay $3 for 1 bun. I only got it because HH is $2 for 1 bun and it was recommended. Nothing too special. Soft hot buns with sweet sauce instead. I forgot what it's called. The fried chicken is crispy and honestly for some reasons reminds me of a better version of Wendy's crispy chicken sandwich lol. 3/5 Char siu ramen- the broth is not as salty so a little towards the bland side but I like my food a little more salty to bring out the flavor. But the broth was ok. For people who does not like salty this might be good for you. The noodles is I think medium firm? But overall a decent bowl but not too memorable. 3/5 The waitress didn't really check in on us or refilled our water. We did stay a little longer than they probably anticipated due to catching up but no one said there was a time limit nor was there anyone waiting in line. During the time, I think 2 other parties came in to dine. 2.5/5

    Pork ramen. Just what I needed after New Year's Eve.
    Sarah A.

    Small restaurant on university ave. When I came here, if you like and follow them on social media and post a picture of your meal, you get a free bun like a pork belly bun for example. I will say my boyfriend and I came here for dinner after New Year's Eve celebrations and it did take about 1 hour to get our order and about 30-40 minutes or so to eat our meal and get our check. So overall the food does not come out fast but it does come out fresh. If you're in a hurry and cannot spend 2 hours at a restaurant, this place wouldn't be fast casual. It might have been because they looked understaffed that day but our server was great. :) The ramen I ordered was the traditional one most people get.

    Tonkotsu ramen
    Brian L.

    Came here with a friend after work during their happy hour. I've had ramen over in Asia, and I will admit, this place isn't as good as it is in the east, but dang it's pretty good. My friend and I ordered the tonkatsu ramen. It was rich but not too heavy. The noodles were cooked but not mushy. The pork had a superficial layer of smoke flavor but was otherwise tender. The egg was creamy and flavorful. And the seaweed and bamboo had a nice crunch to them. I would definitely says it's one of the better ramen places here in MN. As for the happy hour menu. We ordered karaage, takoyaki, sweet potato fries, charsiu buns, and fried jalenopeno & crab poppers. The karaage was a touch dry but flavorful. The takoyaki was gooey, but it didn't have any octopus in there (or any sort of meat for that matter). The charsiu bun was fatty and sweet. And the rest of the foods were just okay. We also ordered mango boba and coconut boba. They tasted of freshly blended fruits instead of sugar concentrates with flavoring, which was surprisingly delightful and refreshing! Overall, I would come back here just for the ramen and charsiu buns. The service was friendly and attentitive, and the food came out as reasonable times.

    Crispy Chicken Ramen
    Sophie B.

    The food here is absolutely the best. One of my favorite ramen spots in the twin cities. It never disappoints. The crispy chicken and vegetable ramen is my favorite. I've had every appetizer on the menu and all of them are great, especially the tofu bun. Service is always polite, Definitely recommend anyone to go here!

    Char Siu Ramen
    Audrey H.

    Service is always quick and welcoming. I've tried basically every ramen on the menu, and really you can't go wrong. The place is still mostly take-out, which means the vibes are chill and not crowded.

    Beef ramen with corn added
    Trina V.

    This ramen shop has been through several name changes, but it's still one of my go-to ramen shops over the years. There's lots of different ramens: both broth based, dry or stir-fry and you can add extra ingredients to the soups for an extra cost. They also have lots of appetizers. They also serve bubble tea, although I have never tried it here. Service is usually okay, not stellar but also not bad but the ramen is delicious and consistent. Definitely one of the better ramen shops in town. Lot and street parking are available as well.

As far as I remember, Eagan location has more booths, which gives more traditional Japanese vibes. My chicken ramen was solid. Chicken was nicely grilled but the broth tased just like MSG. The noodles doesn't look premium (feels like packaged ramen) but overall I liked it. The pork meal was okay! The rice was oily and not much taste to it. It's also hard to eat out of the bowl without a spoon, which they don't provide. Japanese fries are a must-try; it's large not too salty and the sauces are just phenomenal. Service was good but a little slow. It was dinner time on Friday, so they were probably very busy. We pressed the button two times but they didn't come. They automatically charged 18% gratuity fees so you don't have to tip them if you don't want to. Boba bar is right at the entrance!! The brown sugar was phenomenal. I got it with milk instead of milk tea, which makes the texture less creamy but I really liked it. Dragon tea just wasn't it and it tastes nothing like dragon fruit.

It doesn't compare to ramen I've had in Japan or even LA but it hits the spot when I'm craving it!

The ramen noodles were also interesting in that they don't look like any of ramen noodles I had before. Broth is just pure MSG so I didn't even bother finishing the broth.
