As an Asian, I don’t say this lightly, I haven’t had Asian food this authentic and well-executed in St. Louis since Menya Rui. Every dish was beautifully seasoned, incredibly fresh, and clearly made with care.
And the volcano fried rice? Absolutely unforgettable. One bite and I knew it was something special. It had the perfect balance of flavor, heat, and texture, bold without overpowering, and I genuinely couldn’t stop thinking about it for weeks after. That alone is worth coming back for.
What made the experience even better was the staff. The service was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Everyone working there made us feel so comfortable, and you could tell they truly enjoy what they do. One of the staff members even came over to chat with us, he was hilarious and added such a fun, personal touch to the night.
The decor and interior design were just as impressive as the food. The space is adorable, thoughtfully designed, and full of charm. It creates such a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile.
This place is officially my new favorite spot in STL, and I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know. If you’re even thinking about trying it, go. You won’t regret it.

We tried several dishes, and overall the experience was pretty average. The chicken popcorn, mustard cucumbers, and vegetable tempura were all just okay.
The volcano fried rice leaned more toward sweet than savory. Since we prefer spicy food, it wasn’t a hit for us—though people who enjoy sweeter flavors might like it. The biggest disappointment was the vegetable ramen. It was bland, the broth tasted starchy, and honestly, it was the worst ramen I’ve had.
For dessert, we ordered the matcha tiramisu, which was fine but nothing special.
Overall, it was an average dining experience, and we likely wouldn’t visit again.

Very cute decor. Good menu items. The bibimbop was just okay. It was my first time having it and I was expecting more flavor. The garlic steak bites were good; they were in a sweetish sauce. The volcano friend rice is cool because they cook the egg on the steaming hot plate at your table! I definitely recommend the the Matcha Tiramisu and you can never go wrong with tempura!

This was my first time trying real Ramen.
I’m used to the 99¢, take home and make yourself ramen and this place probably just ruined that for me.
The photos don’t quite show it but the portion of Ramen you receive is fantastic. They don’t skimp and make sure you have plenty to eat!
The Pork bone broth had a lot of Umami flavors and was very savory. The roasted Chashu tasted like thick cut of bacon or pork belly that was well seasoned and delicious with every bite. Every component of this dish had flavor to it and each ingredient really complimented one another.
The Black Pepper Garlic Steak Bites were packed with flavor. Really meaty cuts of steak that had a surprisingly slight sweet taste to them even while being very savory.
I didn’t dine in but the atmosphere of the restaurant was extremely inviting, with a nice crowd dining in, and the staff were very friendly as well.
Thanks for making my first “real” Ramen experience as great one Jinzen, I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

Dropped in here for some ramen and was disappointed.
The ramen broth was lukewarm, not hot. The egg was overdone and chalky texture and was cold as well – like it had just come out of a fridge. The pork slices were quite good and the hottest part of the bowl! The noodles themselves were crunchy in the middle (CRUNCHY, not chewy). I barely ate them. Broth flavor was good.
The matcha tiramisu had good flavor but was still frozen in the middle with ice chips… clearly from the freezer and not fully defrosted.
The interior is very very nice and the service was great. Maybe this place does other dishes well… but I won’t be back for the ramen.

Such an incredible spot to eat! Atmosphere’s phenomenal and the food & drinks are out of this world! We had so many delicious appetizers and entrees and the service was incredible. The manger Charlie took such amazing care of us and really showed us a great time. Dinner here is truly the best and we cannot wait to return!

The ramen was good but the steak bites were phenomenal. You need to do yourself a favor and get the steak bites when you go. The host was also the sweetest and funniest guy.

Came here on a friend’s recommendation, and I’m so glad I did! The food was amazing—we tried the chicken gyoza, vegetarian bibimbap, and volcano fried rice (not pictured), and everything was full of flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was right on time. The ambiance is lovely as well, with a beautiful interior that makes the dining experience even better.

First time I’m in this restaurant and I really fell in love with the details of the decoration, it has a cozy vibe and what can I say about the customer service is more than exceptional and the taste of the food it is tasting good has flavorrrrrrr, when I return to a restaurant it’s for two reasons, reason number 1 the flavor of the food and #2 the customer service and I will really come back to eat here.
