Pretty basic order and not very adventurous, but in all honesty the food was okay. It doesn't take much to please me but Kodaiko didn't really hit for me. The tonkotsu was oddly sour and unlike tonkotsu ramen i've had. The kaarage was decent in itself, but it did come with lemon zest over the top that i personally didn't enjoy too much. I think the star of the show in my visit was the chicken katsu, super basic but was the only thing we ordered that felt like it was executed well. Overall I'd comeback to adventure through the menu, especially for the katsu sandwich, but maybe a 5 is too generous of a rating.

As we waited for our orders I stepped away to wash my hands, and came back to the delicious looking bowl pictured. Karaage chicken is one of my favorite dishes at my favorite Japanese restaurant, and this Karaage Ramen had a perfect crispiness to it. The Ramen broth was also very flavorful and has a nice little punch of Spicy to it, with the addition of the chili oil; nothing too hot. Overall: Great spot for good Ramen. Will definitely have to come back again for more.

The karaage is a different style than I was used to, which wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad. The broth of the ramen isn't the richest, but it's good. The sushi was surprisingly good and refreshing. The rice and ingredients felt fresh. Generally, pretty good Japanese for the area. The whole meal felt pretty expensive-- it's 12 dollars for takoyaki, which feels a bit pricey for what you get.

Most recently, my friend ordered ramen that was more sprouts than ramen noodles which was disappointing. It's nice that the ramen spot is connected to the thai restaurant because your table can order from either/both places. The ramen side is smaller, decent customer service, and parking can be a little tricky due to it being off 16th and across the park.

I learned of another good ramen spot in Midtown. Surprisingly, one of the best ramen spots I've…read morebeen to in Sac! I got the black ramen garlic which came with the usual toppings: roasted pork chashu , corn, green onions, bean sprouts, soft boiled egg, bamboo shoots, and actual fried garlic. The whole garlic cloves were plentiful and so much flavor. The description says fried, but they are so buttery soft, they taste more like they've been roasted or baked in the oven. I will 100/100 always order this ramen. Very flavorful broth. My husband got the chicken ramen, which I tasted, and it too had a flavorful broth. You choose your spicy level. I got medium which was basically mild. The portion and price make this a great deal for a quick dinner in Midtown. I love the late hours and the speed of which our food came out. We ordered the geso (fried squid) and the veggie tempura. I do not recommend the tempura. The batter was thick like carnival onion rings. They need to use panko for breading. The geso was ok, and served with an aioli sauce. Stick with the ramen. No need to waste stomach space on their appetizers. The right half of the restaurant is for Ramen 101, and the other side is for Orchid Thai. You order at the counter and get a number, find a seat. The servers came around and checked on us and helped us with any requests. The nice ambiance from the Thai side carried over to the Ramen side, but both casual. If you didn't know about Ramen 101, now you know.

Let me start by saying this review is based off a DoorDash delivery…read more Food arrived quickly, I appreciate they included utensils, soy sauce, wasabi and ginger. The Winter of Sac was my favorite and a tad spicy. The Godzilla had lots of tuna on top and was a bit messy but still super tasty. I did not like the tuna tataki at all. The tuna was good, not chewy at all but it lacked flavor. I would not get that again, I should have stuck with bbq albacore. With that being said, I did I enjoyed most of the items but I would NOT ever order from them on DoorDash again because they inflated their prices a lot. I know restaurants raise their prices a bit to cover the fees DoorDash charges them but this was almost double per item. I would for sure eat in at their restaurant though.

Upscale sushi sounded great with how it it was this week. I had no memory of the quality or anything and wow I was just floored. We ordered 4 rolls and some sashimi and the scallop croquettes and everything was just divine. My only regret was that we couldn't actually eat more in one sitting. The Thai Telegraph Roll and the Firecracker were favorites with the added sauces. We also ordered the Sunshie and Spicy B, everything was a real compendium of flavor. Our friends said that the Thai Telegraph roll was surprisingly refreshing, and it was! The service was also great, they kept menus at the table so we could add more to our order if we wanted, and our pace was pretty slow since we were visiting with friends and the server checked in on us just enough. Bathrooms were super clean, it wasn't too loud to have a conversation and not freezing cold inside. It was a packed house too! We couldn't believe how full the reservations were for a Wednesday night. Next time we go, which I hope is this year.. i'd like to get a few more warm dishes and less rolls to try out. I'm really glad we chose this place and while it's definitely in that "special occasion" budget for us, i'd like to go back at least 1 more time, and not wait 10 years.
