I informed the supervisor and she was very accommodating even though she didn't have to be. She offered to remake my food for me and I'm so glad she did because it's some of the best ramen I've had! Extremely satisfied with the customer service despite my mistake and I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again.

The half egg was overcooked and un marinated. At least the green onions were plentiful, and the broth and mushrooms were flavorful. Atmosphere inside the Joinery was loud and uncomfortable, with many children running around unsupervised, throwing trash and slamming items around. Very few chairs had back support and none had any padding. Hospitality could've been better, too.

AMAZING PLACE!! Don't let the outside of this building scare…read moreyou, service it's really amazing, server who assist us was really nice and attentive, the food quality and taste.... 100000/10 my girl totally loved the fried dumplings, maybe because there were crunchy and special sauce was GAS .. we also ordered spring rolls but no pics of that you can guess why . Meat house pho was incredible my girl love it and I tried it... 1000/10 but the fish one OH LA LAAAAAAA.. I went with that choice because meat ones are the most tasty as always so it's weird that you could get a bad meat pho.. but fish ones NOT EVERYONE DOES IT RIGHT! And I totally love the flavor of this pho's. Most important part, PRICES ARE INCREDIBLE! 2 phos, 2 appetizer and 2 drinks.... 56$? Any other place 70$ easy! Def this it's an amazing place!

It took several visits to Oksumi for me to realize just how special a place it is. Oh, make no…read moremistake, I knew that I liked it from the first visit, but it took a bit of reflection, and a bit of exploring the menu, for Oksumi's charm to really unfold, before me. Read other reviews, and the phrase "nothing fancy" keeps appearing. Another reviewer calls it "simple" and "to the point." This, right here, is the soul of Oksumi. It isn't a restaurant using the idea of ramen as a canvas for the ego of a chef looking to reinvent the dish. It is a ramenya, and its menu is a love letter to ramen. It does not need to uplift or reinvent ramen, because ramen is already perfect, as it is. One does not taste ego in Oksumi's dishes; one tastes respect, care, craftsmanship, and balance. Perhaps most importantly, one tastes every ingredient, and one tastes the role that every ingredient plays in the whole of one's ramen experience. As I explored the menu, as I tasted each element in my bowl, I found myself, again and again, noticing the quality of each element I tasted. The karaage is crisp, juicy inside, and its notes of melting fat aren't lost, even against a spicier base. The tonkotsu is silky upon the tongue, the shio clean but not at all simple, a subtle medley of salt, chicken, and the transparency needed to let the more delicate elements like the cilantro and bean sprouts express themselves, even as the fresh garlic and bonito express themselves more assertively. Oksumi's care and attention to balance encourages one to see these simple, elemental forms of ramen not as "basic" in the slightest, but as works of art expressed in their own whitespace. Approach the shio here not with the need for every space to be filled. This dish is a culinary Gokui no Uta. If you think there is something, there is nothing; if you think there is nothing, there is something. Over a fragile moment with calamari, in which I reflected that I had never once tasted a rubbery or greasy piece of squid at Oksumi, and in fact, had never tasted a *better* piece of squid, not even in my years on the California coast, it really came home for me. Oksumi is a place in which I stopped consuming, and started appreciating the "something-there." I wandered the menu, from tonkotsu black garlic (a flavor hurricane) to simple shio and the robustness of vegetarian Nagoya-style ramen, and let myself dissolve into the moment, into the Kai, the "something-there" that manifests when one's mind stops playing with its expectations and assumptions, and simply experiences. My happiest moments, as a diner, happen when a meal silences my unreasonable, arrogant, chattering mind, and brings me to a lighted door of experience somewhere between the late Leonard Cohen's semi-contrition and the late Anthony Bourdain's quiet confessionals in moments of being a stranger at a table. Again and again, I return to Oksumi, to understand what ramen *is*, and to humble my difficult, noisy mind to a level of quiet that can appreciate the Kai, the "something-there" that appears only when the mind is still, quiet, and allows itself to experience without a commentary track of judgment. Calling Oksumi "simple" is the highest praise one can pay it. Its ramen does not *need* adornment because its ramen is as adorned as ramen might ever need to be. Your attention is the substrate upon which Oksumi's elemental, straightforward ramen expresses itself. This place is an underrated treasure.

I went to the Super Duper Spot to use the $10 birthday reward that I had received just a few days…read moreearlier, only to be told they no longer accept those rewards. Instead of offering an explanation or trying to make it right, I was simply told it was The Joinery's decision because they're located inside The Joinery food hall. I honestly don't know who's responsible--The Super Duper Spot or The Joinery--but passing the blame back and forth doesn't help the customer. If birthday rewards are being discontinued, any rewards that have already been sent out should still be honored through their expiration date. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and a pretty crappy way to treat someone on their birthday.

Special shot out to her for great professional service and a kind attitude!

The sliced meats are well presented but dry out quickly, so sauces are a must. A hoisin, soy, and…read morechili garlic blend works well. We upgraded to try all the steak options. The short ribs were the standout. The K-Pot steak was mostly fat, the hanger steak was inconsistent, and the beef chuck flap tail was thin but flavorful. The main drawback was the heat level of the pots. They didn't get hot enough to efficiently cook vegetables--mushrooms and onions took about 30 minutes just to soften, and sweet potatoes would have taken even longer. Our server, Josh, was friendly and accommodating, but at $30+ per person, the overall experience didn't quite match the price point. Hoping to see improvements on future visits.

I had the Combination Pho. It was packed with flavor.
