"My partner and I had almost the same experience shared by Quinton C. on 10/28/22. Last night, 12/3/22, we went in to Shibu for dinner. We were completely ignored for quite some time as we waited in the lobby, not even asked how many for dinner or that there would be a wait time, etc. Nothing. It was as if we were not standing there. Others who were seated and waiting were attended to promptly. A staff person finally came to the front counter after quite some time (not sure exactly how long) and asked if we wished to be seated at a table for two, to which we replied yes. She led us to a tiny table with the most uncomfortable metal folding chairs I had ever sat on, similar to school auditorium seats. She bypassed empty tables with nice cushioned chairs and took us the worst seats that they have. A young male server then brought us water. After that, no one ever came back. No one took our order or acknowledged us in any way. The servers periodically glanced our way but never stopped by for our orders. We waited and waited, trying periodically to catch someone's eye. By then we were becoming angry at the treatment. Between the initial ignoring, the lousy seating and the complete lack of service we were fed up. We left and went elsewhere. As we left the restaurant, not one staff member showed the slightest concern that two customers just walked out because they were being ignored. I am also (part) African-American; I had the distinct feeling that we were most unwelcome there. Strange, because we have eaten there before and been treated nicely, although all the servers last evening were people we had never seen before. The people we were used to seeing were apparently not on duty or perhaps no longer employed there. When I read the review posted by Quinton C. we knew that we were not just imaging things or being overly sensitive. The only difference was that he was picking up takeout and we were (attempting) to dine in. We will never visit there again. Our favorite ramen restaurant will never see another dime of our money. A shame, as we really liked it there prior to this incident."

It does the job cause this is Kent. The broth was lacking of flavor. The place is clean with lots of seating. Not my first choice but open to tryin other items on the menu.A notch above airport food.. View menu

Delicious ramen! I was VERY full, I ordered a side of noodles because a lot of ramen places are all broth and no noodles but I ended up having to take it home there was so much food in the bowl! Also, LOVE the music here. Ghibli lofi hip hop ambience. Adorable! Will always come back!

Very good place to eat but I feel over the years they have tried to make the portion larger with more broth but in doing so I think they might just be watering it down. The flavor used to be more intense. Last time I went they gave me more broth then I ever had there before but it was not the same quality. It was watery.

I have been searching for a good vegetarian ramen but haven't had any luck. The ramen at this restaurant was just okay, not terrible, but I wouldn't choose to come back unless someone else was paying. I even tried it with pork broth, which was slightly better but still disappointing. I give it 2 stars because it was edible, but I would prefer to try a new place for better ramen. While this restaurant may be convenient and affordable, it's just not worth it. View menu

My wife and I were trying to catch a movie and wanted to grab some sushi first. We actually went to Trappers but they went out of business and closed. So, we looked around and found this place offers sushi and ramen. So, we gave it a try. The food is not too bad. The sushi was really good. The fish was fresh. I would have wanted the rice to be softer and the wasabi to be more spicy. The noodle was a little too salty. Otherwise, they were good enough for it to be in the list for a revisit.

The ramen is a popular choice at this restaurant, but I wasn't impressed as I had already eaten ramen for lunch, haha. I would advise against ordering the fried rice, as it contained frozen vegetables and dry, old chicken (as noted in other reviews). The rice had no flavor and was overpriced at $15. It would be best for the restaurant to improve this dish or remove it from the menu altogether. The seaweed was good and refreshing, but quite chewy and tough. Please be aware that if you split the check, the suggested tip on the receipt is calculated based on the full amount of each individual bill, so be careful not to accidentally overtip. Despite these shortcomings, the staff was friendly and...
