    Spicy Shoyu Tori Paitan Ramen
    Aaron S.

    Solid experience top to bottom. I find the atmosphere cozy here and have enjoyed each experience here. I definitely recommend the atmosphere in the evenings if you're going for particularly cozy. This particular time, I dined in for lunch prior to their closing at 2:00 (their typical hours are open a few hours around lunch and then a few hours around dinner). It wasn't busy and I was well attended to. I went with the Spicy Shoyu Tori Paitan and loved every bite. The chicken was pretty spot on, which I was impressed by. I will say the dish on its own wasn't very spicy to me, but with the chili paste available on the table, you're able to make it as spicy as you would like. The wavy noodles were perfect to me as well along with a flavorful broth. Can't wait to return!

    Tony is always our server; we literally just moved here from Houston! This was the frist restaurant tried in the entire area. We absolutely love the Ramen. It was so delicious and fresh perfectly made. My favorite Ramen is the one with the fried chicken in it so freaking good Tony is still serving us almost 3 years later we adore him. He's always so friendly. I love having the benefit of having the same server every time we come. It's like building a relationship with the business that we so love to support. Keep doing what you guys are doing. It's awesome. Oh by the way, the ambience is awesome as well always clean always bused tables, very chic and industrial vibe. I really like the blue jean tapestry.

    This was our first time and we will be back! We had a group of 7 and everything we had was delicious. Some of the broths more flavored than others. It was a neat lace with a great atmosphere. Very casual.

    I live in the near by area and this is our go to place for ramen. I have have tried a lot of things on their menu. Love their vegetable curry rice, spicy chicken karage and miso ramen. They have a wide selection of Japanese cocktails and hot sake. The ambiance is great . They serve really quickly despite rush hour times.

    High quality ramen in northwest Arkansas. Ramen is comfort food for me and their tonkotsu ramen is impressive. Broth is nice and rich (not too fatty) and noodles have a nice texture. Broth flavor well seasoned - creamy with plenty of umami and not too salty. The soft boiled egg (ajitama) had the perfect creamy yolk. Could have had two servings!

    Love the relaxed vibes here. Food is excellent. Laura our server was attentive, kind, and helpful in her recommendations. We will be back several times over.

    Quick and good service! We ordered a few appetizers to start our meal and to be honest they tasted better than the ramen... Veggie Potstickers 4/5 Pork Potstickers 3.5/5 Vegetable Croquettes 3.9/5 Takoyaki 3.6/5 Miso Tonkotsu Ramen 3.8/5 The noodles were good but the broth itself lacked flavor, it wasn't as rich as I would have liked. Also, the chashu was that tender...but not bad. This is the only ramen spot I've tried in Arkansas.

    The food was amazing. Hot and fresh and full of flavor. Great portions. The menu has plenty of ramen options along with other food options as well. The atmosphere is busy but the decor is noticeable'! The server was attentive and friendly. Will be back for sure

    We visited on a Friday evening. The cashier told us right away that they had a 20 minute delay on…read morecooking some things like rotisserie chicken. It didn't effect our choices. We ordered and found a nice table over near the bar. My husband then ordered a beer for himself and a cider for me. Our food didn't take long at all. Our appetizer cheesy rolls came out first. They were pretty good, dense, cakey, and sweet. Our entrees followed about five minutes later. I had the three piece chicken tenders. It was a LOT of food. The chicken was especially good. I don't get breaded fried chicken often, as it can upset my stomach, but I had no such issues here. The house sauce was delicious for dipping. The shoestring fries were great. I love coleslaw but there's underwhelmed me, as it was kind of bland. My husband had the larger tender meal along with their hot rub and hot oil. He said they weren't especially hot to him but they were delicious. Our son had two sides together, the macaroni and cheese and fries, and enjoyed them both. In all, a great place. Their chicken really is something special!

    We were in the area for our annual trip to Bentonville...My wife had heard of it on her social…read moremedia...We were hungry and they fixed our hunger! Prices were definitely reasonable for the amount of quality food you get. The kids meals were enough to split...but my two diva daughters were undecided on one thing. So 2 kids meals it was. Needless to say we had leftovers that I will destroy when we get home! The wife had a tender box combo and was enough to split. So fresh and delicious. I got the chicken and biscuits to eat. Oh my... The biscuits were phenomenal. I had a Miller lite to warsh it all down. The happy hour price during March madness had me order 2... All in all the staff was kick a$$ and the food was bomb in our perspective. Thank you to the GM. Thank you to Ernie (bar) for keeping my thirst quenched Thank you Faith and kitchen for all the VIP like care!!! The daughters requesting more cheddar biscuits!!!! We got an order to go!!! We definitely will return. Ample parking, clean and cozy bathrooms. Let me know when you open one on the northwest side of OKC.. would kill in the Piedmont area. #JustSayin! Good job on all things. Reach out with any questions! Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma
