    Wear during a cool busy lunch day. The entire Staff were polite, answered questions about options, and were prompt. Ordered Vegetable Ramen Soup and it was served fresh, hot, and tasty. The soups had plenty of vegetables and noodles. Also orders a pot of tea. The tea was served hot and tasted of fresh tea leaves. Look forward to returning for lunch or dinner.

    Excellent food! Great service and a very good atmosphere. What I really liked about this place is the service, a Japanese cook made our order, he was very interesting and polite. The food is amazing, fresh and tasteful! I highly recommend it!

    Really good for ramen! Their ramen is very traditional with only three different flavor options. I have tried the miso and the pork flavored and the pork is the best. The meat itself has great flavor. The noodles seem like they are handmade but even if they not, they are so good! I haven't tried anything else here, but the ramen is a must-try.

    Mediocre of the mediocre. Sashimi isn't fresh enough. As for the ramen, not authentic at all and below average. But the staff was nice.

    Kura - Pato Marinado. The little salsa next to it was delicious!

    Omg! We're already talking about what to order on our next visit…read more Had an early dinner (by local standards) at 6:30pm on a rainy Friday night. We were seated right away without a reservation. Loved the decor and the casual, intimate atmosphere. We tried the sashimi, vegetable gyoza, salmon don, wagyu beef, seafood fried rice, and finished with the chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was delicious. If I had to offer a critique, I'd say the wagyu was just okay--not bad, just okay. Deep respect to the kitchen for executing such a comprehensive menu. The consistency shines through not just in the high-ticket items but also in the staples like gyoza and fried rice.

    A solid spot if you're looking for Japanese food. We walked in without reservation for a late lunch…read moreand found it wasn't busy. The weather was nice, so we sat in their covered patio area. You can scan the QR code to pull up the menu. It was in both Spanish and English. The menu was extensive, a little something for everyone. There was ramen, rice bowl, udon, sushi, sashimi, shabu, maki, nigiri, etc.   I tried the maguro mix don that had chu-toro, o-toro, and akami on top of white rice. This was a perfectly balanced meal. A good fatty texture on the sashimi. Rice to fish ratio was also good. It was refreshing from all the food we've been eating in CDMX. We all enjoyed our don and ramen.   Service was a bit slow regarding when our food came out but they brought out everyone's food at the same time. The restroom was clean as well. The indoor seating looks spacious. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here and would recommend this spot if you're looking for Japanese food in the Roma Norte area.

    Kura - Duck robata, also good. Most places I visited don't have duck robata, so I thought giving it a try
