At this time, we are the only ones in the restaurant. People came to order food to go and got their orders and still no service.

I had the yakisoba. It was very good, but I got it with pork and there wasn't a lot of it. I would have liked more protein. The sushi was good. I liked that they have a sushi bar. Our son loved the edamame. It was the first time he tried it and loved it. He also loved the fried ice cream. My only complaint t was that they don't accept the Yelp check in offer anymore.

PR doesn't have many Korean restaurants. That I know of. This is one of two or three in San Juan…read more The rest of the island, I don't know. This spot is very small. It has about 5/6 tables inside, only one of those has the bbq. Outside, there is only one parking spot, so good luck. I believe they opened a second location in Trujillo Alto which has more space. If your looking for authenticity you won't find it here. This serves more as an introduction to some Korean dishes and even some fusion like Korean tacos and burritos. But it's all for the local palate. As an introduction, I guess it's fine. But for those veterans it falls very short. Nothing was bad, but it wasn't very good either. I got the ramen with bulgogi. The beef tasted like cubed steak and onions (biftec encebollado). It even had the onions in there. My wife got the bibimbap. That was better. I'm giving them 3 stars because service was nice.

The bibimbap was good although a bit too sweet for my taste. They did give me a sauce on the side…read morethat helped balance out the sweetness. I also liked the soju. Service was also good. The waitress was very kind to our son. The issue I had was that the flavors weren't Korean. It seemed like Puerto Ricanized Korean food. Not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely not authentic.

The bartender was spectacular! Kept good conversation going with all of us at the bar, but not too much that you can't enjoy your time. (I was solo dining for context). For the food, a lot of it was very yummy, but I do think I was missing something with each dish. Whether it was salt, more umami, or just spice. The methods of everything being made was executed well, it just could have been better in overall flavor which is why I gave it 3 stars. On top of the bartender having a great personality & service, the cocktails were equally delicious. Now the flavor is absolutely in the bar so although I may not come back for all of the food, I would willingly try more dishes and eagerly order a drink!

The place is small but cute inside. The staff is very attentive and friendly. If you like sake, we had a very unique and delicious sake bottle called the Moonstone. Is unfiltered sake with a coconut lemongrass flavor. We tasted the sake flight and that one was the winner flavor. As appetizer we had the pan fried mixed dumplings, veggie and pork. Both good. I had the Tonkotsu Ramen which was decent but not as tasty as I would like it to be. The broth wasn't rich enough. The meat and noodles were great. The amount was plentiful. It fulfilled its purpose. We finished our meal in a sweet note with two scoops of ice cream, sesame and caramel flavors. They were creamy, really good.

We tried the beef udon and it was honestly some of the best I've had. The beef is super tender, not chewy at all, and reallyaks up the flavor.

The flavors were perfect, and the food was piping hot, which I love. The food we ate was Chinese food, but we haven't tried the ramen to see if it's similar to Japanese/Korean ramen or something different. Next time. The chicken was super tender and thinly sliced. The broccoli was lightly cooked, but so obviously fresh. The sauce in that dish was delicately flavored. My husband really enjoyed his vegetarian dish (they have a small but clearly marked vegetarian section of the menu). I tried it...the tofu was so soft on the inside, silken, but perfectly fried to give it some texture on the outside. His veggies in the dish were also perfect, not over cooked and all obviously fresh (I've see canned ingredients at some places in PR before). The noodles were a thin type and had a light seasoning on them. It's a casual dining place, and parking in this neighborhood can be a little tricky. We parked to the east in a lot for $5. It's a family run business, we saw 3 generations in the shop. They spoke Spanish, English, and I'm guessing at least one Asian language. Very friendly service, and clean inside. We'll be back and we hope the ramen and appetizers are as stellar as the two dishes we tried!

Very friendly and helpful. She gave some nice recommendations for food and beer. You could tell she enjoys her job. We ordered several dishes to share. We got the edamame hummus. This was interesting. We also had the Spring Rolls, Japanese Fried Rice, Midori Beef Noodles, Crazy Roll, Fujimori Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Eel with Avocado Roll. My dad also got a White Tuna Sashimi. Everything was a hit, especially the Fujimori Roll (server recommended) and the Eel with Avocado Roll. The Midori Noodles (server recommended) also stood out. They don't have a kids menu, but our server suggested the tonkatsu with white rice as a popular kids favorite. She was right. Our son liked it.

The restaurant has a darker aesthetic, but it feels cozy, comfortable, and welcoming. The atmosphere was great, and everyone was friendly. The ramen was outstanding. The noodles were perfectly tender, and the broth was rich and full of flavor. I also tried the sake bomb, and even though I'm not usually a big fan of alcohol, it paired surprisingly well with the ramen. The sushi was incredible too. Honestly, I wish the portions were bigger because I could have happily made a whole meal out of just the sushi!

We came as a group of 6, and upon entering, it took more than 20 minutes for us to be acknowledged. Bummer. I will say that this place is not suitable for large groups. We were seated at a large coffee table in the far back, right next to the restroom. As mentioned earlier, the food is great, but it took more than 40 minutes for our food to arrive. Tonkotsu is better than the Tantanmen. Black Lagoon is better than the Smoked & Mango. It's very expensive for what it is, but I'm sure it's because of the location and the hype of this place. Overall, the lights and decor are really cool, good food, but definitely don't see myself recommending this place to anyone!
