"My experiences at this restaurant have always been positive. I appreciate their Americanized take on Japanese and Chinese cuisine, and I find their prices to be quite reasonable compared to many other places. I recently tried the spicy ramen through a buy-one-get-one-free deal on Uber Eats, costing just $17 for two generous bowls. I consider this a win in my quest for good food.
The broth has a spicy miso base that I enjoy, and it’s flavorful, but the standout element is definitely the chashu (BBQ pork) — thick, large, and juicy with the perfect balance of fat and lean meat, making it feel like a good value for the money. The toppings include sweet corn, black fungus, fish cake, pickled radish, spicy minced pork and tofu, green onions, and my favorite ramen topping: bamboo shoots. I asked for extra, and they happily obliged. While this ramen is not a must-visit destination, it’s a solid choice when you’re craving hearty ramen with a variety of toppings.
The salt and pepper pork chops are one of my favorite dishes at American Chinese restaurants, and theirs ranks among the best. They’re very garlicky, which I appreciate, and the addition of onions and jalapeños enhances the flavor of the tender, juicy fried pork chops. I would definitely order these again next time.
As for the fried California rolls, they’re fine — nothing exceptional, but certainly not bad. We also got them as part of the buy-one-get-one-free deal, totaling $10 for two, so I’d say they’re worth the price. However, don’t expect anything too special.
The garlic noodles with chicken were somewhat disappointing. The chicken was slightly smoky and tender, but it was only seasoned with salt. The noodles lacked garlicky flavor, and while there was some cheese on top, it was nearly flavorless, resulting in an overall bland dish. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you prefer very plain food.
Despite a few misses, I would certainly continue to order from them, especially when they have deals available."
