My wife and I came here for our 5 year wedding anniversary 1-30-2026. I was completely blown away by the atmosphere, and staff, but the FOOD WAS TOTALLY AMAZING. FIRST BITE OF THAT SPICY RAMEN BOWL AND I WANTED TO DANCE. LOL. The owner also came to our table and was very friendly and welcoming. Also we got there almost before they closed and didn’t feel rushed or bad because we came late. 15/5. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE THAT LOVES RAMEN OR NEVER HAD RAMEN BEFORE TO GIVE THEM A TRY!!!!

To the point – this place is about good Ramen and good service. New spot with walk in, high tech kiosk style ordering. You get 3 main options for ramen – no nonsense, pick your base and add in extras. Menu has a few sides, few drinks, and 2 asian beers. Thats it. You come to eat ramen, and it will be delicious. What strikes me is the service. They open the door for you, they walk you thru the menu and ordering, there is attendance to nearly every need, even held the door open for us on the way out. The service in this place rivals Michelin star restaurants for a quick serve spot. Ive never seen such service in a causal dining place. The service is SO good, it legitimately makes me want to return.
It Isnt necessarily cheap. A “set” which is a bowl, rice+side, another bowl, 2 soda and tip was $64. It was damn good, service was great, but thats about the going rate in Charleston – also going to a few Pho places and Jinya Ramen.
Highly recommend for delicious fast casual ramen, just realize in the current 2025 charleston foodie scene it will not be a giant sized $11.99 bowl.

They deserve more than 5 stars!! The service is absolutely impeccable. They hold the door for you to come in, thank every single guest that leaves. The lady explained the whole menu and helped us order even thought there was a self order screen. She even recommended combos to save money if we wanted to try different things
The ramen broth was deep with flavor and perfectly spiced. Ground chicken added nice texture and good flavor. Noodles perfectly al dente and not just soggy.
The karage chicken is addicting !!! Perfect flavor and crisp.
The Calpico shaved ice is the perfect summer dessert and not too sweet.
2-3 different staff members checked on us throughout the meal. Wow wow wow with service.

Well deserved!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the food. It’s incredible every time. Manami, Richard and the wonderful staff are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

My boyfriend and I are visiting from Japan! Our friends told us about this place so we went, it’s so good. It tastes just like ramen in Japan.
We talked to the owner and he is from Kyoto! Him and the other Japanese staff were so friendly. They even held the door open for us as we left, just like in Kyoto.
I would go again, but I’m going back to Japan in a few days

Absolutely lived up to it’s rating and the word of mouth reviews I’ve heard.
Everything was excellent, staff was super accommodating, even giving a demonstration of how to open onigiri correctly.
Had “Set B with the Tonkatsu with the black garlic add in.” Also had the Thai Tea Boba and salmon onigiri.
Highly recommend, will definitely be back.

We came in on a saturday night and it was super busy but it didnt stop the host from being so polite and accommodating. I am sad i didnt get her name but she was so sweet and gave me so much information on the menu and items as this was our first time eating here. THE RAMEN WAS AMAZING!! Amazing is such an understatement but it was so good we almost went back in sunday night. Richard came by and gave us more info on the place, the workers and where they were from. I couldn’t get s decent photo of our food but it was so good.

We were visiting SC from WA and were incredibly delighted to have found one of the best Asian restaurants in town. Every food item we ordered, including ramen and side dishes like karaage and pork buns, was delicious. Also, the pricing of their food was perfect and the restaurant was immaculate. Moreover, as much as the aforementioned was impressive, we were more impressed by the phenomenal customer service. Every staff member we met was affable and attentive, but Richard particularly impressed us. We will be back in SC next year and will be sure to dine here again.

Safe to say, we LOVE it here!! This is a great spot for families to go. They just brought out their Cold Ramen dish and we couldn’t be more excited. There’s something about a cold noodle that we can’t get enough of. We also got the spicy ramen and it exceeded our expectations. I love spicy dishes especially when the flavor hits the same. We were ready to order seconds! Our daughter of course loved the edamame and karaage (no sauce – but my husband and I loved it with the sauce – its got a slight kick and so flavorful) ! Big win for us, our daughter tried the onigiri & it passed the picky eaters club test!!
Service was top notch ! Since it was our first time, they explained all of the dishes and how to order (so easy). Our meal came out quickly which was great for us since we had our daughter with us. Nice not having to wait a while to enjoy your food! We will be back time and time again!

This is the best ramen around!! It’s so smooth, comforting, and filling, perfect for a cold winter day. I also got the Thai tea with boba which was super delicious as well 🙂
