Interesting vibe. Good music. One TV showed some anime and the others were news, dports and whatever. Loved the anime countertops. Menu is quite varied showing some fusion of japanese, chinese, tha, and Vietnamese. Generally speaking that means nothing stands out, but I had the wings and they were good. Service was excellent. It was right after opening so I’m sure this place gets lively later with students. Nice happy hour options. I’ve been spoiled traveling abroad to all these countries, but this seems to be as good as any other in Richmond. If you want a clean well-lit place to serve a bunch of varied apoetites, with great service (best part), then this is it–lots of good draft choices and even sake choices.

I finally got a chance to enjoy this place on the recommendation of a friend. The Friday night crowd means a packed house so we sat at the bar which was as busy as the open kitchen. I enjoyed two appetizers including the KFC (Ken’s Fried Chicken), the Shrimp which were fried light and very tasty with the sauce and my main course was the Drunken Noodles with shrimp. This was the first time I have enjoyed this array of veggies in my drunken noodles as I usually have the Thai version, but I enjoyed the zucchini, bok choy, peppers and scallions and the noodles were cooked to perfection. It was very fresh and the portion size required a to-go box. The owner came out to greet us and to apologize for the back-up due to a short staff and a busy kitchen but I thought they did a great job. There customers ordering a wide variety of dishes including Ramen bowls and the house specials. I also added the Sailor Moon cocktail which was much larger than I thought it would be in the days of shrinkflation. I will definitely return to try more dishes.

Very flavorful Asian fusion food, many cocktail options, cool vibe. Booths are very large, to accommodate groups.
Free parking on street.
Vegetarian: your choice of protein & tofu is an option
One of my favorite restaurants in Richmond!

This is a solid place to eat with a wide variety of Asian options. The appetizers have the largest variety and there is a happy hour from 4-7PM for drinks and wings, shrimp, and gyoza.
Admittedly I wasn’t too sure about a place that had so much variety in different Asian cuisines, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Japanese ramen was a large portion with rich flavor, just make sure to mix in the mushroom reduction all the way. The pork was sweeter than I prefer but good on its own. The noodles were not my preferred style for ramen though.

The food is okay, too oily and not quite authentic. There are happy hour and daily drink specials. The atmosphere is pretty cool, fun place to hang out, but it’s quite loud.

Want some good , authentic Asian street food? Look no further than. I went here with my finance and boy the explosion of flavor was amazing. The service was great, staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I’m not a big Asian food fan but this place changed that. I can’t wait to go back. They have a great happy hour. I’m had a sailor moon drink, the apple of my eye and another drink I can’t remember the name. But go check it gem out. All together we spent less than $100 for some wings, boom boom shrimp, the 3 drinks, skewers, ginger salad (big enough to share) spicy fried rice and a Ramen bowl . What a steal !

BEST restaurant in Richmond! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We got the Pork Gyoza, Boom Boom Shrimp, Malaysian Style Ramen, and Drunken Noodles. Our waitress/bartender was incredibly helpful with helping us order and making amazing drinks. Great spot for a chill night out with the decor, anime playing and diverse music. Oh and fair pricing!

The food was aight.
The pricing?—It was aight. Super affordable, so you can try a variety of dishes without worrying about cost or oversized portions.
Best thing on the menu?—The appetizers, hands down. Especially the full-size miso grilled squid og ️ ‼️.
Service?—Our waitress seemed new and unsure of the menu, but it was aight, she tried her best 🙂
Portions & Flavor?—More snack-sized than full-meal, and the flavors were okay—not bad, not amazing. A jack-of-all-trades kind of place.
Drinks? The Boozy Thai Tea needs some work—tasted watered down.
Overall, a solid choice if you’re looking for variety on a budget.
