    Tonkotsu ramen
    Andre A.

    We were excited to try this place since it's so close to where we live but a little disappointed. Not the most authentic of flavors and the would prefer not to have a mayo sauce on the agedashi. The chicken katsu was the best thing we had there. The fries were disappointing with the bulgogi tough and chewy. Would also recommend the chicken bowl as the flavor was a little bland.

    Not sure why I never tried this place until this week. It was cozy and cute. Prices were very reasonable and the quality of the menu was great. Everyone was very friendly and service was efficient. They great you when you walk in and also on your way out. The calamari was fresh and the aioli dipping sauce paired well. The truffle salmon roll was soooo delish. It was the first to go. Definitely will see myself back here!

    Baked Salmon
    Kathleen T.

    Visiting San Diego and was looking for a late night restaurant! The bulgogi bento box was pretty good and miso soup was solid. The baked salmon roll I wish it had more eel sauce because it was lacking flavor. Our server was super sweet!

    MISO ramen
    Aarti P.

    Really chill vibe. Quick service. Lots of options for food and drinks between Korean chicken, sushi, ramen, udon, beer, and sake. I got the miso ramen and the broth is wonderfully rich. Plenty of parking since it's tucked in a shopping plaza in Poway.

    I'm so happy we chose to go at here for dinner. The twinkle lights in the wooden doorway just set the mood right away and I loved looking around at the super cute decor with the bottles and cute figurines. This place was busy but not too crowded so I knew it would be good the moment I stepped inside. The tong box we got was amazing such a good bento box packed with a lot of great stuff delicious gyoza and bulgogi and I loved being able to swap out the California roll for a spicy tuna for a dollar extra totally worth it! I think this place does both sushi and traditional Korean really well and I can't wait to come back and try the ramen too! Their lunch specials look goood and are Monday through Friday 11:30am to 2 pm. I'm in love. What a fun cozy and cute place with delicious food! Seems like a really great place to take a small group of friends and there's enough variety on the menu for everyone to get something they like

    Quaint ramen spot to check out! We got the tonkatsu ramen. It's flavorful and good. The service was fast and great. The spot is so nice and cozy. When we stepped in, it absolutely reminded me of Japan, so that was nice. We got the booth and at first I was reluctant to sit there, but once we got to seated, it was actually pretty cool. When spots opened up, they offered to move us, but I ended up preferring the cute booth. It is a smaller spot, so seating can be limited. We were there on a Friday night and it had a decent flow. I'd check it out again for other dish and definitely recommend this place to hit up.

    I like the wooden decoration inside. The waitress is friendly and patient. Services are really fast. Combo lunch special is really good and worth your money. Tonkotsu ramen pair with Rice bowl or 1 roll of your choice is really good deal. I picked spicy tonkotsu with Bulgogi rice bowl. Love it !

    Lemon Cilantro and XXX Roll
    Jenner B.

    Stopped in for a pick up order. Service was exceptional. They took my order with a quickness and they were so nice. I ordered 4 rolls for my family and I have to admit. They were all fresh and delicious. Nice rice to ingredient ratio. I really liked the ambiance. Clean with a comfy feel to it. I definitely have to bring the family in for dinner. Overall, I'm impressed. The menu has a large selection that I'm looking forward to try.

    Chicken Katsu bento
    Alex R.

    Located in Poway. Closes at 10pm during the weekdays. That was one of the reasons we went there because it was one of the few places still open. Got the mixed tempura, bulgogi bento, and chicken katsu bento boxes. The vegetable tempura were very mushy. The shrimp pieces were fine. The chicken katsu was very dry. I did not like the miso sauce that came with the chicken. The bulgogi tasted fine. The Staff were friendly. Food came out quick. Inside was clean.

    Garlic Edamame
    Deanne L.

    I really enjoyed the lunch special recently! For about $20, I got a big bowl of tasty ramen and filling bowl of poke and rice. I also got the garlic edamame as a starter. I really liked the flavor of everything I ordered. Good broth and texture of the noodles in the ramen. Poke bowl came with a lot of fish and was super marinated in sauce that had a nice small kick. Garlic edamame was flavorful. Service was exceptional from the waitress. Checked up me from time to time and was friendly. Left very satisfied

    Bulgulgi and tuna poke bowls
    Sharon B.

    Went with a friend for lunch and got their spicy tonkatsu ramen and bulgulgi bowl combo again. Price was increased to $19.99 now. I had the big bowl of ramen for lunch and took the bulgulgi rice bowl home for my dinner later that night. The spicy tonkatsu was really good. It wasn't too spicy and had a very rich creamy tonkatsu broth. Very yummy! The tonkotsu ramen and bulgulgi bowl combo consists of a full size bowl of ramen and a small bowl of rice with bulgulgi. The ramen was ok but service was great. Very friendly staff and our waitress was so attentive. She's friendly and took care of our party. We also got their bento box with chicken teriyaki. It was a lot of food and delicious too.

    Really cute Japanese place with online ordering and exceptionally friendly service. Looks like this is run by a nice Asian couple. We called and ordered a few items like the Baked Salmon Roll (our favorite and at a decent price for $14) and some bentos. We asked to sub the tuna rolls in the Bento with avocado rolls due to my husbands seafood allergy and they not only accommodated but also were extra thoughtful in marking other items like the miso soup that had dashi broth for us.

    Mango Cream Soda
    Familia C.

    What a cute sake house. Staff were friendly and I stopped by specifically for their bulgogi fries which are now called KB Fries. They come with bulgogi sausage and karage chicken by default but I requested only bulgogi. They were delicious and big enough to share. My only complaint is the cream soda, as good as it was and for a fair price, I guess the package it comes in is not BPA free. I'm sure staff aren't aware of that but there is a warning label on the bottle that I hadn't noticed until after drinking some. This wasnt very comforting since I'm pregnant and trying to be cautious (and did so well to avoid having the sushi as tempting as it looked!). Not gonna dock them any stars for that, its moreso on me and reminds me to be more careful to ask to see things before consuming rather than assuming. At any rate, give them a try their team works hard and it shows, they're friendly and the food is made fresh and arrives to your table pretty fast. Thank you, look forward to trying more of the menu sometime!
