    I have been craving ramen for weeks now and finally stopped by to get my fix! I'm still newish to the area so I took a chance and I do not regret it. The ramen was absolutely delicious! The spot is busy but the service is fast and the food came out quickly. The wait staff were amazing. The shrimp was nice and crispy even when briefly dipped in the ramen. 10/10 recommend. My wife had never had ramen before from a restaurant and now she's a believer! We will be back very soon!

    Wow!! I came here upon recommendation from a friend and I loved it! We walked in to a calm and peaceful environment, with AWESOME lighting (if you want those cute aesthetic pics). We were seated and our waiter came within minutes, and had such a great personality! Don't even get me started on the food omg. I made my own ramen bowl with chicken broth, thin noodles, green onions, and more. My friend ordered some sushi plates (not really my thing), and she said they were a 10/10. Love love loveee this place.

    The interior was very well-kept and clean. There weren't many people when I went during the night so the staff was very attentive and the food came out at a reasonable time. I got the Tonkatsu Shoyu Ramen and calamari as it was quite solid but nothing that will blow your mind. The food was your typical average-priced ramen.

    Enjoyed myself well enough here. Drink options have improved, and so has the menus and it's options since my last visit. We had ramen of course and some appetizers. Sho Chiku Bai Sake. The karaage is probably my favorite, and the food is decent. Though the noodles seem slightly of an odd variety to me personally. Just off somehow. But still good. Service was friendly and attentive. I would go again.

    I was so glad there was a new ramen place near by. Otsuka Ramen & Bar did NOT disappoint. The décor inside is just like a ramen pub you'd find in Japan. A trendy and cozy atmosphere. The staff are kind and hospitable. They refill your drinks and are attentive to your orders. Everything they cook is homemade, fresh and piping hot when it arrives at your table. Otsuka has a great variety of appetizers, ramen bowls and sushi platters. They don't have a lot of rice bowls to choose from, though. Otsuka Ramen & Bar has some tough competition with Mai Asian Box and Pho Central on the same street. I hope these guys stay in business, because I'd love to be a regular customer.

    Do they have vegan options?

    Not really. You can order things without any meat or seafood, but it's usually limited to tempura and salad. Plus depending on how strictly vegan you are, the tempura items are fried in the same oil as meat items

    Does anyone know if the noodles are rice or wheat noodles? The people who answer the phone have no idea, and I would love to try the place if they have rice noodles.

    The noodles are made from flour.

    Does this restaurant have vegetarian or vegan options?

    Under the appetizers you'll find a section titled Vegetarian Lovers. Where we have our Salad and 21V the ramen Bowl, I always ask if the egg is wanted, vegans prefer no egg at most. There's a create your own ramen(25), which by default for… 

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Yes we do, You can do rice instead the noodles, and taste good too, many customers did try it. And we also start doing organic vegetables broth after 1/15/2018.

Turned out there was another guy in the back. He came up front and started working the side line for the Door Dash and to-go orders. By the time I finished other employees had showed up, guess it was shift change, but I'm not sure because three girls showed up, two went behind the line and a third sat down with the girl on break to chitchat. Tacos were OK to meh. She left off my sour cream, but got me a cup full when I asked. I first tried Chipotle 20 years ago in Maryland, it was top notch back then. Since, it's been slowly walking back into "Meh, nah". I'll post the video later, it's on my phone and I don't wanna download to my laptop right now.

It could have been due to the colder weather. However, we finally made it during a time when it was open. The food was quite good. I had the kimchi rice, and my husband ordered the bullhop beef. Next time, I'll definitely add a protein to the kimchi rice. Both dishes were very flavorful, with the rice mixed with kimchi cabbage. The beef dish included onions and broccoli, which were cooked to a nice consistency. We were greeted by a friendly staff member, and our food was prepared quickly; however, we were the only customers there, so I'm not sure if that's a fair gauge of the service..

The owner came out, greeted us, answered our questions about the menu, and the food came out very quickly.

It's a small place, so it's not ideal for large gatherings and they're easy to miss. El Tostaco Regio does not serve typical Mexican cuisine. Their food is what you would find served on the streets of Mexico. So there's no refried beans, rice or a queso plate here. Most of their dishes comes with beans and a cup of broth. Their food is served fresh, but messy. Everything they make is packed with flavor, but not overpowered by spices. The tables have three complimentary sauces you can try with your dishes. If your other party is not in the mood for Mexican, El Tostaco Regio also have burgers and baked potatoes. Their menu is bilingual, thankfully. The staff are patient and kind. Prices are affordable. I will say that their AC system could've been better, considering we're in Summer now. They only have only bathroom. Aside from a TV playing Latino music, there's no decor inside at all. My major issue is that El Tostaco Regio is NOT wheelchair accessible. That's completely unacceptable!
