Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.

My favorite appetizers are always the popcorn chicken and crispy hot piping purple sweet potato fries!! Their ramen is also super yummy, but I prefer their tonkatsu omurice with curry sauce. Love the fluffy egg blanket over the rice on that dish. I also enjoy getting their omurice as a combo since it comes with a Thai tea! As for desserts, I can vouch for their matcha pudding and matcha tiramisu which were not too sweet :) I'm only giving them 4 stars bc it's slightly pricy and also I feel like as nice as the free coupons on the ramen bowl are if you win them, it's also a gimmick especially because you have to redeem it the next time you visit AND dine in. I feel like I have to come back and spend even more money to get my free item, so I feel a little robbed. Something for the restaurant to reconsider. Maybe allow customers to redeem their free item the day of their visit or allow us to redeem it to go instead of dine in. Overall super great restaurant though and everyone should try their food at least once!

The big guy at the front counter looked at the customers in a disrespectful and condescending way, which made me feel looked down on. The server only focused on serving the large table group and not really to service me. I felt completely unwelcome and uncomfortable throughout the visit. With that kind of attitude and service, they don't deserve my support or tip.

The food was prepared within timely manner. The tan tan men took slightly longer. The broth was great, not crazily salty but got a kick to it. The chashu wasnt too fat but got a good mixed of marbling. The portion was good. I was full without having side dishes. The waitress was attentive and friendly. Overall, I think this place deserves a 4.5 out of 5.

I met a friend here for dinner and had a great dine-in experience. We both ordered their "Original Nagoya Mazesoba" $15.29 and got their Karaage $8.99 to share. It was my first time here and I figured the famous original dish is always good. The noodles are thick, and all of the strands had their own little bounce to them, just the way I like it! It arrives unmixed so I also enjoyed vigorously mixing it myself and seeing it all come together. I especially enjoyed popping the poached egg on top and seeing the egg oooozing, paired with the minced pork, green onions, chives, dish powder, seaweed, and garlic. They have really perfected the recipe here to make the perfect dry noodle dish! If you dine in, the servers will also bring you a scoop of rice. I didn't really understand it at first as to why, but I later finished my noodles and thought "oooohhhhhh!" FYI the rice is used to pick up the rest of the delicious sauce left on the bottom of your bowl and it makes for an extra carb-filled surprise. The perfect way to end a noodle dish by the way, with rice for more carbs, duh! My only feedback, and I was indeed warned by my friend, is that the noodles make you a little thirsty. My friend told me she thinks its their fish powder seasoning that somehow makes you just feel like you need to chug a glass of water, so just make sure to bring a little extra water with you, haha! Also, fair warning here since you made it this far to reading this long review. The seats were very loud to move around in the dining area, and we can just about hear every squeak the metal chair made when anyone moved their seat, too! Other than those things, the noodles are a life I've already been raving about Menya Hanabi to my friends and will definitely come back!

Ambiance is nice with shades drawn over the windows and strong AC. There's bar and table seating. I got the deluxe mazesoba ($18) which comes with charsiu, minced pork, poached egg, and green onions. There's a good amount of chewy thick noodles underneath. Very flavorful- so much so that I recommend adding vinegar to lessen the greasy taste. Upon request, you can get a free scoop of rice to mix into the leftover sauce. I remember they used to give a full bowl but now it's just a scoop.

First of…read moreall, they cater to all types of food eaters by enabling you to have full control of oil, noodle, thickness, salt, etc. Essentially, you are building your own perfect ramen bowl that meets your own standards. The best part of all, I think this might be the first ramen restaurant that is doing this so that's a plus in my book. Some other ramen places, albeit good and rich, may sometimes be too heavy for some people like me. That's where Ramen Nagi differs. They have the ability to cut down that "heavy after eating" feeling. Service was extremely on point and will come to you if you need help with anything without hesitation. It's a family friendly environment and has good lighting for those instagram photos which makes the food even more appealing to eat. I definitely recommend 1000000% if you have never eaten ramen this is like THE PERFECT place to go.

I would definitely do this again, because it tasted like a normal ramen and I wasn't left wanting more. I love spice, but would definitely not add additional to the red king. The pork belly was killer and would recommend getting that over chasu, the flavor had a hint of sweetness and the minced meat was just the perfect combo! - Black King 17.50 My boyfriend always gets this, his only comment was to opt for the thick ramen! The noodle texture here is always on point, their "normal" should be the standard whereas other places you have to request firm to have it done perfectly. The price is the reason why he always returns! - Chicken Karaage 8.25 My favorite chicken karaage hands down and a must order when I go. The sauce is a sweet soy complementing the savory chicken with a touch of creamy mayo! I opt for this over the gyoza for more protein, if you have the people definitely worth while to get both. Once you queue, the hostess will give you a paper menu and marker to line up your order. From there when you are seated they will confirm and the food is ready really quickly. This is where I would go for a quick sit down meal, emphasis on quick since the music is loud and theres always a long queue.

You're welcomed into a cozy apace that has some decorative elements even to the music choice. Reminds me of our trip to japan, which I MISS SO MUCH! The Food Takoyaki: $8.95. 4/5 Stars. - Comes in 5pcs with sauce and bonito flakes. I liked how the outside was a bit crunchy and inside was fluffy! Karage: $8.95. 5/5 Stars - Comes in 5pcs. The sauce was tangy sweet kind of like teriyaki sauce. It was crispy but still so juicy and soft. HANDS DOWN GET THIS! Loved it so much I could have a whole bowl Tsukemen: $22.45. 5/5Stars - If you aren't familiar with this, the broth is separate from the noodles. Its a different way of experiencing noodles. The broth is thick, creamy and flavor profile is on point. Inside of the broth there is mushrooms and pcs of pork. The noodles are cooked perfectly and also comes with pcs of nori, soft boiled jammy eggs and 4 pcs of thick chashu. Portion size lets just say they are generous and we all can EAT ^^, Kakigori (MATCHA) $8/$14. 5/5 Stars - Definite MUST! Its made with Japanese shaved ice, a very creamy soft cream matcha sauce and matcha powder! I cant tell you how good this dessert is. The wife is obsessed and one if the main reasons why we found this spot in the first place. Please try! Service: - Super friendly staff! They are quick to get our order and serve our meal. I asked for more limes for my noodles 2x and both times they were quick. Made us feel very welcomed and checked in on us on a regular, which also reminded us of the service Japan showed us once upon a time. Overall: We love this place and we keep coming back with new people to share this type of noodle experience. Check them out im sure you will enjoy it. Lets just say we drove an hour to eat this. You def will not be disappointed :)

We grab the Udo-nuts for dessert by the register, it was so soft and pillowy texture, I sprinkled powder sugar and it tasted so good They make the udon right in front of you , it was cool watching them do it. You have choices of tempura for add ons, you grab it yourself on the self serve counter. I pass this time because the bowl is big already for my tummy. I couldn't help but took a picture of the wall of the cute girl holding a bow of ramen. Cute decorations inside, animate vibes inspired Grad I cane in, would come back again to try their other delicious ramen in the menu.

I went straight for the braised pork noodle -- essentially a hong shao niu rou mian situation --…read moreand it delivered where it counted. The noodles themselves had great texture and the braised pork was a mixed bag. When it was good, it was genuinely tender and satisfying. But the consistency wasn't quite there -- some bites were exactly what you'd hope for, others ran a little dry. For a dish that lives and dies on the braise, that 50/50 split is hard to ignore. The broth also felt like it stopped just short of the depth and richness you want from a bowl like this -- solid base, but could push harder on flavor. The pork potstickers though? Zero complaints. Crispy bottoms, well-seasoned filling, and a satisfying bite all the way through. If you're on the fence about ordering them, don't be. The chili oil on the table is also worth mentioning -- punchy and well-balanced. Use it liberally, especially if you feel like the broth needs a little more punch. One practical note -- the restaurant runs warm inside. Not unbearable, but noticeable. Do yourself a favor and ask for iced water when you sit down. You'll want it. LAN Noodle is a spot with real potential. The bones are there -- the execution just needs a bit more consistency to match the ambition.
