I did not have any libations since it was not opened during my visit but it's on my list of endeavors.

This review is merely to speak on the venue and a later review is coming once I visit the bar during opening hours.

Donburi is a favorite of mine - With its hearty portions and self-service kiosks, it is a great…read moreplace for a solo lunch or a quick meal with friends. All of the seating is on the second floor, complete with a water station, utensils, and place to leave your dishes afterwards. I ordered the Curry Katsudon, which is the panko-breaded pork sirloin over rice. The breading was crispy and the pork itself was nicely done. The best part of this dish is undeniably the curry sauce which is flavorful, thick, and coats both the rice and the meat nicely. And naturally, I had to wash it all down with a bottle of green tea. I'd recommend Donburi for anyone looking to have a flavorful, no frills meal in a casual setting. 5/5

Seating is upstairs, but you've got to go back downstairs to pickup your food. I had the kaarage and shrimp tempura bowl. Cannot not recommend. The shrimp tempura was just tempura batter stuck on a shrimp tail. Very greasy. The kaarage was giant chunks with heavy batter and fried to dark brown and unappetizing. Way too expensive for what it is when you can get better at other places.

Our meals were rounded out with miso soup and a salad.

Although we didn't get there when they have their busiest time like Friday or Saturday night but we were seated immediately service was great prices reasonable. The Menu isn't vast (this is not a Cheesecake Factory) and I didn't see any issues with anything we ordered. Cocktails were superb even without Pork Belly Garnish on my Monster. Ordered all appetizers from the list. All of them were wonderful. Karaage, Pickles, Wings, Buns It is all delicious. Same with Ramen. Nothing had any issues to note all were absolutely superb.

Servers are very attentive and come by very often. Must Try: Shrimp Naruto Atmosphere/Setting: very small place with dim lighting. This isn't the place to have your birthday celebration with a Partiful of 20 people. It's moreso catching up with a friend or having a good meal after a long day alone. Food: it's a ramen spot but honestly I've had better ramen but this one is pretty good. I think the appetizers are moreso the star of the show ! Appetizers : Shrimp Naruto (10/10) , Brussels Okonomiyaki (8/10) , Yuzu Rootbeer Wings (6/10) Shrimp Naruto is phenomenal , literally my favorite. I wanted to like to e wings but they were too soft for my liking. If they were fried harder or had a bit more of a crunch I'd rank them higher because the flavor is there. Drinks: both drinks were great !

Meatballs were underestimated but it delivered. Tasted amazing we had to order another one. Most items are one order, one item so ask before ordering. Service was perfect.

I have gone on weekday evenings for happy hour, and it has never been too crowded, which makes the experience even better. This place honestly feels like a hidden gem that I want to gatekeep but cannot. I always order the crunchy spicy salmon roll, smoked salmon nigiri, salmon nigiri, and tamago nigiri, and they never miss. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and well made.

At the table, we shared the crispy spring rolls, fried dumplings and chicken wings as apps. We all enjoyed these, especially the chicken wings. Everyone enjoyed their drinks too - the lychee li, the mango margarita, the botanical, the sticky mango, the old fashioned, the baccarat. We all enjoyed them. For the food we had the thai basil beef fried rice, general tso shrimp, panang curry, singapore noodles, house style wok tossed soft noodles, seafood xo, and the wonton soup. Most of us tried each other's food because of the healthy servings and most of us enjoyed what we ate. Our waitress Minzhi was awesome - friendly, knowledgeable and funny. The restaurant manager Q was nice and attentive as well. They even gave one of our party members a mango sticky rice dessert (which was just okay - would've been much better if the mango was riper and sweeter) and sang happy birthday to her. Overall, we had a lovely time. Ginger is pricey so be mindful of that before you go but if you're celebrating a special occasion/milestone, it will be a nice change of pace.
