First, my Chilli Lime Ramen was absolutely fabulous!!! I LOVE this Ramen, soooo tasty and really hits the spot. The broth is exactly what I was craving. The meat pairs perfectly with this broth with the flavors dancing in my mouth. It was so delicious that I kept eating even when I got full so then I was really full at the end but so worth it. I wasn't sure that I would like the cucumber sunumono because it's full of carrots, but one bite and I couldn't stop. The cucumber and carrots taste very fresh and cooling and whatever it is they're soaked in, it's perfect. I don't like carrots, but I ate the whole thing they tasted amazing. Overall I'm so impressed by Ramen Izakaya, I will definitely be ordering from here again in the near future!!!

I ordered takeout and they had everything out in 15 minutes, fresh and delicious. The restaurant inside seemed really nice to dine in but to go was the vibe for me. I went with the special combo box of salmon teriyaki, miso soup, rice, vegetable tempura and salad. A TON of food for $20. Also went with some classic rolls like the cali, shrimp tempura, and cucumber roll and they all hit the spot. About $6-8 for each cut roll. All in all, attentive and kind service, quick to get the food out and satisfied my sushi cravings. *The tempura sweet potato was my FAV*

I wasn't too hungry, but I ordered the seared scallops w/ soy wrap, and they were actually really, really good. The crispy rice and shrimp tempura were also really good. The service was great, everything came out quickly, and the place itself is cute. It's definitely a smaller spot. Parking kind of sucks since there's not really any, but the food and service made up for it. I only gave it four stars because of the parking, not the service. I can definitely see myself coming back here!

Service is great, very attentive servers kept our waters full and came by often. The sushi itself is very good, we ordered several rolls with a few standing over the rest. The carwash roll was absolutely delectable, not on the menu, probably my favorite of the night. The crunchy shrimp handroll was amazing. We also ordered a shrimp tempura cut roll that comes with a unique sauce that stole the show. Overall great quality sushi, we were very happy with all our choices. The dedicated parking lot is a decent size, no trouble finding parking. Check this place out if you're in the area and in the mood for good sushi!

Luckily it wasn't crowded at the time we went and were able to be seated right away. Sat down and they gave us water and we were able to place our first order. Their rolls are different than most sushi places I've seen and they have no rice rolls which is amazing. They also give half sizes compared to other places (4 pc instead of 8) which helps so much! Customer service was amazing and they were so attentive. You also get complimentary green tea ice cream at the end and who can say no to that? Dinner was 46$ a person. We were so happy with our experience and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Simply for his soul alone I deove home excited to try his sushi for the first time, and man was it super delish!!! I especially appreciate the variety of eel options, something some other sushi places don't have. Everything was bomb, but my top two favorites were the baked garlic shrimp roll and the dragon roll. The crispie rice with spicy tuna was good, but ive had better and I believe he torched/baked the tuna instead of it being raw. Overall, Id get sushi from here again and if theres an off chance no one is there, my husband and I would def love to chitchat with while receiving our orders and eating in-front of him bar style. You will not be going here for the ambiance and aesthetics, but you will be getting raw down to earth service. A great hole in the wall!

I wasn't sure if we had enough time since the validation is only free for 3 hours if you watch a movie, but we were able to make it in enough time. I'm not really a ramen person but my son just got a jaw expander, so I wanted him to have something he could eat pretty easy. Once we arrived we were seated pretty quick. The host was nice and tried to get us on the patio but it was packed, so we grabbed a booth in the corner next to the little bar section. They were quick to take our order and the food arrived shortly after. We ordered the: Handmade Fried Pork Gyoza Crispy Chicken Karaage Curry Bowl The Shoyu Ramen Cut California Roll My oldest kid really loved the sushi, while my youngest did not. my friend thought the Curry bowl was amazing, and my oldest son picked at his shoyu ramen. I had a feeling he didn't like it but he said it was too hot. I loved the pork gyoza but wasn't really a fan of the chicken karaage. The few pieces I had felt like it was the fried fat pieces of the chicken but maybe I got some bad pieces. So it was pretty much a mix of opinions. This is my review, so I'll go as far as to say, I would order the pork gyoza again but I wouldn't order the chicken karaage. However, I do want to try the Cajun Mazemen if we come again, but it wouldn't be any time soon. Overall, this place is solid and I think if you love ramen, give it a shot. For not being a big ramen fan, I still think the place was nice, clean, had excellent service and the food came out quick. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

Nothing fancy, but the sushi is fresh and tasty, and sometimes those are the best places! I'd definitely come back and try it again if I'm in the area.

Fish is fresh. A little too much sauce (ponzu) for my taste. Would have preferred a little cleaner and to dip myself. Sweet shrimp - also a standout. VERY SWEET. Fresh. Heads were delicious. Sugar Daddy Roll - scallop on outside, yellowtail on inside. Everything was fresh. Again a little heavy on the sauce so taste was overwhelmed by the ponzu. But tasty. Could use a textural element. Service was friendly though only one server for everything. She did well! Sushi chef not uber friendly but did ask how we liked everything. Atmosphere is okay. Parking was easy when we were there on a weekday at 1 pm. Would I go again? DEFINITELY.
