Great food. Excellent service. Clean and fresh decor. I went reluctantly as I am not a fan of sushi. However, I cannot wait to go back! Definitely check the Rock Shrimp! read more

This is a solid spot to grab a bowl of ramen & fresh sushi. Definitely not the best but everything is made to order and taste fresh. The decor is modern & our server was awesome. She was very helpful & kind to us. They have a lunch menu that's very reasonable in pricing. You can get a chicken ramen for 10 bucks which is cheap in 2025. I decided to order their house fruit tea (mango), chicken karaage, shaggy roll (lunch menu), Tonkatsu ramen (garlic) & my friend got the chicken ramen (lunch menu). My mango fruit tea was refreshing but the tea flavor wasn't strong enough for me. The chicken karaage was okay, it did come out piping hot but flavor wise; it was just mid. There were several small pieces that just had batter in them and no meat. The shaggy roll was fresh and delicious. The sauce that was drizzled on top had plenty of flavor. My friend chicken ramen was light and creamy & the chicken was tendered. Mine on the other hand had good umami flavor. Creamy & savory. The pork chashu was tendered & I like that they gave me 3 slices instead of 2. The egg was marinated to perfection bursting with flavor but could've been more runny. Both of our bowl of ramen were lacking in toppings. I didn't see any bean sprouts on the chicken ramen as the menu stated. I don't consider seaweed to be a source of greens. Some spinach, bok choy, bean sprouts, corn etc would've amped the dish a little better. But solid nonetheless. Overall, this wouldn't be my first option but if you're looking for great service and decent food at an affordable price, then this is the spot for you. Will I come back? Yes. read more

As soon as i wasked in i was greeted with a smile and the waiter placed me at a table of my choice. She recommended some delicious options. I had the houston roll, it was fried sushi! So delicious. I also had the pork ramen from the hspoy hour menu and the spring rolls. Everything was hot snd fresh. I will definitely return here! read more

I tried the yummy chicken bowl, which was decent, but the chicken chashu just tasted like grilled chicken with not much additional flavor or seasoning added on. The main flavor for the rice bowl is the "spicy aroma sauce", which they don't tell you what's inside it. For the sushi, I ordered both the caterpillar roll and spider roll. The spider roll was pretty good, with good high-quality soft shell crab portions, but for the caterpillar roll, the eel portion on each roll piece was very small, and it was also doused so heavily in soy sauce that it was hard to taste anything else. Overall the restaurant is nice and clean inside, and everyone is super friendly, so I'm hoping for the best and hopefully they can improve some of their food offerings in the future! read more

Located on an old area, the exterior isn't eye-catching but the interior is clean and beautifully renovated. The restaurant is of a good size to accommodate big groups. I was greeted warmly by the staff upon entering the restaurant. The menu was simple but had the essential food choices that any Japanese restaurant would have. I had the Tonkatsu black garlic ramen, karage chicken, salmon sashimi, sashimi roll, and skydiver roll. The karage chicken was a little dry. The ramen's broth needed more flavor depth but the noodles were good. The raw food was fresh. The sashimi roll was interesting. The individual pieces were wrapped in rice paper. It was difficult to pick up the individual pieces because they were placed too close to each other, and they stuck together because of the rice paper. So I ended up eating the small pieces of raw fish without the rice paper. Overall the food was good. read more

Surprisingly good spot. Went for ramen but loved the sushi too! The happy Sumo was delicious and unique. Service was excellent. The place wasn't super noisy which I really appreciated. read more

Amazing hole-in-the-wall ramen joint. Having tried many authentic ramens, the broth was so smooth and flavorful. I was a big fan of the noodle texture and we devoured the kani salads. The waitress was so delightful and grateful for us eating there, not shying away from encouraging me to drink another beer because of their happy hour. Great service, really calm atmosphere, authentic and tasty food, good value especially at happy hour. (Monday - Friday, 12-4pm) read more

We finally tried the sushi here and love it! Their salmon hand rolls are so fresh and super good. Their hand rolls aren't on the menu, so all I did was ask for the salmon roll to be served as a hand roll and it was not a problem. We have tried quite a few rolls and all of them are so fresh and tasty. We particularly love the sunshine California roll which is an updated take on a classic. This place is one of my top restaurants in Houston. You can't go wrong with the ramen or the sushi. read more

This was such an amazing spot. It's a cute hole in the wall, ducked off. I just so happen to drive by and drop in for lunch during their Happy Hour. Lucy came swiftly to serve me and was very kind. The food was delicious. I got the Yummy Chicken Ramen, Seaweed Salad and Shaggy Dog Roll. And I let her know it was my birthday and she surprised me with some Mochi. I definitely will be coming back here. read more

We were craving for ramen noodles so we tried this place. So glad we did! The server Lucy warmly welcomed us. I got the spicy miso ramen which had a tasty savory flavor.Hubby got the black garlic tonkotsu ramen which had a rich creamy broth. Both ramen had a good portion of noodles and toppings. The soft boiled egg was perfectly seasoned. You can really taste the "char" in the charshiu roasted pork. So yummy! We really enjoyed the delicious ramen. Lucy said that it takes almost a day to make their broth and it shows in the complex flavors. We also tried the spider roll, tiger eye roll and crazy roll. The spider roll had a good amount of soft shell crab and was our favorite. We will come back and try other sushi rolls. Loved the ambiance with the cool decor and music. The best part is the prices are very reasonable. I hope they last long so please try them. You won't be disappointed. read more

I visited this restaurant because I'm usually always in the mood for ramen, the restaurant was semi-empty and after eating the food, I was very surprised that it didn't have more people! I always start with spicy edamame, sushi, and then ramen. I got the Houston roll, it was a great spicy sushi roll, and I got the spicy chicken ramen and the broth was perfect, I emptied the bowl in about 20 minutes. I know Houston has a bunch of ramen spots but instead of visiting a chain-ramen restaurant, visit the local family owned ones, they serve the same or higher quality with the comparable prices read more
