I was greeted and there was not a wait, so I looked at the menu and everything looked amazing. I tried the plum sake and it was really good. The waiter suggested Japanese Crispy Chicken, which was amazing. For the entree, I order the Katsu Curry Ramen. It was amazing!! Not spicy, but so full of flavor. Everything was filling, that I had to take it home for later! I can say that this restaurant is definitely a 10/10!!!

Wowwowowowow!!! This place was PHENOMENAL from start to finish. We've been back twice since our…read morefirst time and it just keeps getting better. The staff and the vibe in the restaurant are both so chill and welcoming. I love how the servers have all been so knowledgeable of the menu; different types of broth, flavors, and how to recommend what to order!! I've gotten two spicy dishes and they have had a decent kick to them, so beware if you are cautious around spicy things. We love the gyoza appetizer with the pancake on top and edamame. And of course, the ramen is so amazing!! If you love ramen and gyoza and a great time, try Kazoku out!!

This place has been on my radar for a while, but I don't live close (probably a good thing because…read moreI would be here everyday). Saturday afternoon, made plans to stop in and check it out (off peak lunch time -2pm-ish). They were moderately busy... for good reason! Had the Black ramen and it was . Gone in 60 seconds but super flavorful and delicious!! We also had the fried shrimp shu mai with dipping sauce... piping hot and delicious!! Our server was super friendly and took care of us. Actually the entire staff really took care of us and you can tell in the food as well. A lot of love, passion, and great ingredients go into all their entire menu. Location wise, this place is definitely a "sleeper" place just because it's tucked back in Stonecrest across from the movie theater. The dining room is cozy but there are booths and tables.... Small outdoor dining area with a handful of tables too. Overall a great place to get great ramen! Just wished it was closer but again, I would be here daily getting ramen.

Fantastic food. The Zara Soba was as I remembered it in Japan. The Katsu Jyu was very good as well…read more It came with miso, salad, seaweed salad, and pickled cucumbers. Not a fan of the dressing on the salad. Service was prompt and friendly. They have seating at the bar, booths, tables, and a Japanese style table where you sit on cushions on the raised floor. Definitely want to try the other dishes.

My husband and I are big fans of their Bento Boxes...so we returned for more. As always there was a…read moreline, but this is one of very few places in town that's worth the wait. We both had the Chicken Bento Boxes again...and we loved it. I've had Bento Boxes in dozens of Japanese restaurants, but this place offers such a perfect combination of items (everything we love!)...Tempura, Kaarage Chicken, Shumai, Seaweed Salad, Sushi Rolls, etc.etc. Plus, this bento box includes the salad and soup! Frankly, I wanna try other items on the menu, but I'm so addicted to this Bento Box, I just can't seem to tear away from it. My husband feels the same! Also tried their hot Sake...but think I prefer the cold version. BTW, I noticed some renovations. They now have darker Cherry Wood (?) flooring and cabinetry (behind the sushi station, that is). However, they still have some original light wood chairs and tables. Also, they separated some of the tables (Yay!)...so not as many "communal" tables like before. Anyway, think this is a good sign that this place plans to stay awhile longer!

Let me start with the positives. I liked the spacious layout, and the cool artwork. There were…read moreplenty of seatings too. I also liked how loud the overhead music was...but sadly, it was elevator music. Very dated. If it was something a bit more contemporary (metro lounge?), it would have been way nicer. Now, the food! I ordered their Doza Ramen, which looked spicy from the pictures...but I ended up with a very mild broth, with hardly any red chile sauce or spice to it at all. I even asked if they can add more chili and/or spice to it, and the waitress basically said that's not possible (What?!? Of course you can!!). Anyway, she said I can add Siracha sauce. (???) Guess she assumed this was the first time I had ramen lol?!? The Pork Chashu was nice and tender, but very small portion...and a tiny portion of ground pork (of beef?) and mushroom as well. Just skimpy toppings all around...yet this bowl was priced 18 bucks. I also hated how they didn't even bother to split open the egg. Also, I wasn't a fan of their super-thin noodles either. Just look at how unappetizing this bowl looked! So basically, this ramen struck out on several accounts. Possibly the weakest ramen I've had in a restaurant in years?? I managed to down at least one third of it though. Then this Sampler Tempura. While the portion of plentiful, I thought the batter was weak...and well, some of the veggie tempura just tasted BAD. Especially the Brussel Sprouts (which I normally love) had this sour taste to it? I was also disappointed that they didn't include Broccoli in the mix. I was only able to eat half of this. Just not that good. I just can't sugarcoat it. I was not into their ramen or this sampler tempura. Both too mild...very bland. Also...they charge you an additional dollar if you use credit card. Something I don't recall seeing on the menu. Given such high ratings from Yelp, I had high hopes for this place...but I left scratching my head. I doubt I'll be returning anytime soon.

Went to eat with my coworker who recommended this place as serving authentic Chinese cuisine. I…read morecould not pass up that opportunity as Asian cuisine is in my top three. It's very rare for me to do a review and not have pics to accompany it but from entrance to exit I don't think I liked my phone up once. Coworker's company was great but the food really made for a great experience. In addition to that having my coworker speak to the culture of the food made it all the more appreciated. I definitely can't say enough good words about the food and the service and the overall experience. Five stars is all I can give but if there were more this restaurant would well deserve it. Next time I'll have to get pics

Great authentic Chinese Hot Pot place! The food is fantastic and the service fast and efficient…read moreplus the atmosphere is cool! The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food served! I have eaten here many times and I have tried virtually everything on the menu. With that said, here is my take on it. Everything that I have tried has been delicious! For cold appetizers, I am a big fan of the Black Fungus W. Vinegar Sauce, Cold Spicy Sour Cucumber and the Spicy Beef Tendon. For hot appetizers, everyone raves about the Popcorn Chicken and I concur that it's very good! I really like the Frled Pork Gyoza too. For the main course, they have some rice dishes, but the main focus is the hot pot soups. They bring out a 300°F Stone bowl of broth (in an insulated pot holder) and the ingredients to put in it. You put the meat and lettuce in first, then the other ingredients and the noodles last then wait for "10 seconds"thus the name of the restaurant. I have tried all of the broths and they are all good depending on your tastes. The original broth is the bass broth. Then they add things to the other others to differentiate them. My favorites are the Tomato Soup (especially with Beef Flank) and Spicy Soup. If you like things VERY spicy, they can bring you some cut Thai peppers. The wait staff are patient are very helpful in guiding patrons. They understand that this is a new experience for them. They also pay attention to their customers eating habits. One time when I went in, they noticed that I added lots of chili peppers and chili oil to my food. That's when she said she could bring me some very hot fresh chili peppers. Charlotte is truly blessed to have so many great authentic Chinese body shops popping up all over town! I highly recommend this place! Cheers!
