"Normally when you're thinking about places to get great Japanese food, a take-out counter in a half-abandoned mall in Montana probably wouldn't be too high on your list. But this place has the best and cheapest ramen in town. The fish on the sushi is always top quality. Do you like poke? They've got it. Want some boba? They have that too. Looking for something that's ultra-mega-octo-lacto-non-gluten-super-vegan? You're in Missoula, of course you are. They've got that too. The people that run it are super friendly and helpful and legitimately every time I eat there it's a great experience.Just two downsides I can think of: 1) I go there wanting to just get a bowl of ramen but I always end up leaving with ramen, two sushi rolls, some boba, edamame, and coconut rice. Haven't figured out how that happens yet. And 2) turns out that eating an absurd amount of ramen raises your cholestorol level so my doctor's mad at me. Oops.Check them out!"

"I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and had an amazing experience. The price per person was between $30 to $50, which I found to be reasonable for the quality of food and service. I rated the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5 out of 5. The Squash Massaman Curry and Salad were highly recommended dishes that I thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a great atmosphere."

"I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The setting is quaint and private, perfect for a group dinner or a quiet date night. The restaurant is small, ensuring attentive service for each table. The food is cooked to order and prepared well. We tried a variety of dishes from the menu, including the charcuterie plate and beef tartare which were fresh and delicious. The wine selection, including a quality syrah, complemented the meal perfectly. The filet was a favorite at our table, rich and flavorful with a wine demiglaze. The only dish that fell slightly short was the Chimichurri Steak frites, which could have used a sauce or reduction. The prices are fair for the quality of food and service. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or intimate dining experience. It's a hidden gem that I'm always happy to be invited to."

"Was really rooting for this place to be great, but sadly could not deliver. They are in a unique location and have an interesting view and decor which we appreciated. They serve beer and wine, no liquor. So my husband and I opted for a glass of the Obsidian Cab. We ordered the apple honeycomb salad to start that didn't arrive and instead we got our entrees and had to ask for the salad and actually, that salad was the best part of the meal. For entrees, I had the Pork Milanese and my husband the Lamb Mafaldine. The Pork was hammered! Pounded too thin, thick breading and over fried. I couldn't cut it with the serrated steak knife they provided it was like eating jerky/I had to rip it apart with my hands. The Lamb dish was okay per my husband. We cut the night short and went to another restaurant to enjoy dessert and after dinner drinks."

"I wish I could eat here every day, but since I live quite far away, I’ll have to pace myself! The pizza selection is fantastic and offers unique options that go beyond the ordinary. Make sure to get the ranch for dipping your crust – you won’t regret it! On my first visit, I tried the prosciutto and fig pizza, and I can't stop thinking about it. It’s going to be tough to choose something else next time because it was that good, although the menu is filled with other tempting choices. The staff was excellent, the wait for our pizza was minimal, and our water refills kept flowing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!"
