"So my company provides month end close lunches for our staff. Working hard having yummy food is of a huge matter to me. After we did some yelp digging we found Yasai! This mom pop shop does not disappoint. There is such variety that could accommodate pretty much anyone those with vegetarian or dietary restrictions. Just earlier this month we called in for a special order for a colleague cuz her order was pretty strict Yasai was able to make it! Teriyaki tofu plate w/ no rice salad dressing on the side. She said it was delish! We couldn't be more happier to give them any business they can get. We have ordered lunch from them twice now with 15 20 orders each time. What makes it convenient for us was that we were able to place the order online ahead of time! In the comment of each order we placed my colleague's name any notes needed. We did call Yasai to inform them of a huge order coming through for what day to please make sure each order has a name on it. They were very accommodating! They have gotten every order right nothing was missed. My colleagues were very happy with their food selection. They claim the beef chicken were tender well seasoned. Some said additional sauces isn't even needed. All was fresh tasting too. I truly do love how their plates comes with veggie skewers too! What I have had so far was all very yummy! What I have had : [5.0/5.0] Yaki Udon Beef [4.5/5.0] Sashimi Salad w/ Ponzu Sauce [5.0/5.0] Salmon Tempura Crunch Roll Combo [4.5/5.0] Udon Soup [5.0/5.0] Oriental Sumi Salad If you guys are looking for individual ordering or even group/office ordering Yasai is a great spot to get food humbling service from! I can't wait to come back here for their food :"

"I recently had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Ramen Taka, and it was quite a delightful experience. Upon arrival, we were pleased to find that there was no wait, and we were promptly seated, which is always a plus when you're hungry and craving some delicious ramen.We decided to start with their miso ramen, and I must say it was a flavorful journey for the taste buds. The broth had a deep, rich flavor that was undeniably enjoyable. However, for our personal taste, it was just a tad on the salty side. The balance between saltiness and umami was slightly skewed towards saltiness, which might not suit everyone's palate.One unique aspect of Ramen Taka is their use of digital menus on your phone. While this adds a modern touch to the dining experience, it can be a little challenging if you're used to the traditional printed menus. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it's a step towards embracing technology in the restaurant industry.One interesting feature I appreciated was the availability of two different sizes for the ramen bowls. This allows diners to choose according to their appetite, which is a thoughtful touch.In terms of logistics, the parking is situated at the back of the store, which can be convenient for those arriving by car. The staff at Ramen Taka were friendly and accommodating, which enhanced our overall dining experience.In conclusion, Ramen Taka offers a satisfying ramen experience with a few quirks. The miso ramen, while delicious, leaned towards being slightly saltier than our preference. The digital menu system might take a bit of getting used to, but it adds a modern twist to the dining experience. If you're in the mood for ramen and don't mind a slightly saltier broth, Ramen Taka is worth a visit, especially if you appreciate the convenience of different bowl sizes and friendly service."
