Best ramen in town! The flavors are incredible. I got the spicy black garlic ramen with pork belly and savored every bite. It came with perfect jammy eggs. They also have boba and Pho, so there is something for everyone. 10/10

Our hotel recommended them and we LOVED the food and atmosphere here, the service was excellent too! My wife had the tonkotsu ramen which came with a healthy dose of pork shoulder meat which was very tender, seasoned egg, the noodles were firm and had texture when you bit into them and the broth was very tasty. We also had sushi – we tried the catepillar (eel) and the Dragon (shrimp twmpura with avocado!

Saved the day with excellent food!
Moving day. Car breaks down. At new place with no food. It’s Monday and my usual Thai places are closed.
And I’m so glad they were.
I ordered Tofu spring rolls and Curry Chicken. The 3 large rolls were very fresh, filled with herbs and good sized pieces of tofu. The wraps were moist and the roll had more vegetables than simply being stuffed with noodles.
The chicken curry came in two separate containers so it was hot and the broth poured over and into the bean sprouts and noodles. I was very appreciative that the bowl was solid and I could eat out of it. The meat was very tender so the large pieces could be split easily. The broth was spicy but not overwhelming and filled with color and texture.
Not only was the food delicious, the prices were reasonable and the portions almost too much for one. Both a rarity in Santa Barbara.
I liked the food so much I actually called them and told them. When was the last time you did that? Definitely moving this restaurant to my favorites list.

Best Ramen west of the 626!
Far superior than the Ramen on state street.
The broth is thick and rich. The meat is delicious and plentiful.
Happy hour is happening too!
Miso chicken wings are bomb as well.
The only criticism I can give is with the sushi. The mayo was overpowering. Outside of that, the ramen was one of the best I’ve had.

Awesome spot to get RAMEN, or Udon or Pho or stir fry or many other foods…, in Santa Barbara! Huge menu with alot of amazing options! Will be going back to try more! Loved the Spicy Rosted Duck Ramen but LOVED the Chashu Ramen even more! Spring rolls were also delicious! Food is incredible, Service was exceptional and prompt, and the atmosphere is great! Definitely recommend!

This place has yummy food and the atmosphere is nice. I think the only downside was that they are very limited on large parties, so you’ll wait extra time. The service was great. Food came out in a reasonable time.

Our first time here, and it had good reviews on Yelp. The restaurant has Happy Hour deals everyday at certain times including noon. They had excellent variety including ramen, which our daughter wanted. The rainbow roll was delicious and it was great deal with happy hour prices. Our server was nice and attentive. We plan to come here again.

I stopped by here after driving a couple of hours with my friends, and I wanted Ramen.
I wasn’t sure if this was a Japanese Ramen joint or a Vietnamese restaurant.
I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, HH Spicy Chicken Wings, and a can of wine. I asked the server where’s the black oil? Lol, she said to mix it then I’ll be able to taste and see it. Wrong!!!! I asked for a side of the black garlic oil and it made it better. If you see their photo, you can tell there’s black garlic oil. My friend didn’t even enjoy her Tonkotsu Ramen. She barely ate it.
The spicy wings are spicy, so be careful.

I have to be honest. I didn’t have the highest hopes with this spot as it’s a ramen spot in SB. One could see this as a bit out of place. But what do you know, this is the spot. They do not go easy on that spicy ramen my dudes. If you’re tryna munch on the spicy ramen here be ready to keep that water flowing cause you’re gonna feel flame. But up that tofu, my Lordy, it’s softer than feathers. We also got ramen on the side and that was a solid 8/10 ngl. Place is a hot pepper gem, check it out!

Came here during a visit to Santa Barbara, wasn’t you hungry and ordered a rice bowl and it was really good. Hit the spot and found that service was attentive even though the restaurant was really busy. Definitely saw a lot of UCSB students and their parents going which is definitely a good sign.
