"One of the few restaurants where every dish BLOWS me away," one person wrote. "The best ramen. The best bao buns. The best parfaits. Everything is so incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Ramen has such a depth of flavor that you truly cannot get on Long Island anywhere else. 10/10"
Many people cited the exceptional customer service along with the glowing food recommendations.
"This place was phenomenal. Everyone enjoyed their meal," another person said. "The waitress was so nice too. My ramen was maybe the best I've ever had. Everything was so fantastic. My friend got the Una don and said it was amazing and tender. Same with my boyfriend Chashu don. We will absolutely come back and I 100% recommend. Trust me on this!"
