Had the Spicy Ramen with regular broth. It was still nicely smooth and pretty rich in flavor! Our server was amazing, very helpful in making selection. It was casually busy.
Ramen is excellent! Get it with thicker broth. I recommend starting with standard tonkatsu then get spicy on your next trip. Yakitori is good but I wouldn't say amazing. Flavor of their house sauce is good. Their curry is spot on for Japanese curry tho their katsu is a little dry. Gyozas are typical. Their gyozas sauce is good.They're service today was very good. Very patient, attentive, and accommodating. They let my wife order her curry katsu don with udon noodles which was very nice. They definitely earned their well deserved tip.I'll definitely be back to try their other appetizers and for their ramen.
What a great experience! The staff was phenomenal, A+! One thing I find staff don't do consistently is checking for water refills. Here? Always come back to refill our water just a little after we finished our water. Please keep up the great work!The food was a wonderful serenade on the tongue. Of the yakitori we tried, the A5 wagyu was hands down the best! The chicken thigh and chicken wing yakitori left a lot to be desired however, especially after the A5 wagyu. However, the main entrées made up for the slight disappointment of the chicken yakitoris. We ordered the chicken katsu don and the hiyashi chuka cold ramen. What can I say about them other than **chef's kisses**?! The katsu don was just the perfect combination of sauce, eggs, chicken, green onions, and rice. ? It came with pickled(?) ginger as well, but it was too strong for us so we took it out.The cold ramen was also done very well and the flavor profile was such a delight! The ramen eggs was so wonderful to round out the ramen, and it's hard to find the perfect ramen egg in my ramen half the time so props to them!We rounded it off with a taiyaki ice cream (strawberry flavored) and it was a great choice! It was nice and cold for the weather, and just the right amount of sweetness, but not overly sweet, to end the savory dinner!The environment was also a nice cultural mix as well. Welcomed in Japanese, can hear some Chinese conversation between the staff, nice early 2000s American music, and they had a Korean tennis match on TV. ?
The food was great or the best. I had the curry pork katsu and it filled my belly. , Idon’t usually finish my food if it’s not good but this is perfect.
Food and staff are amazing
Best ramen in Elk Grove by far. The broth is amazing and the meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth. They also offer yakitori for dinner. The A5 wagyu is a must!
Our weekly go to ramen spot with my mother and son. The food is delicious and the staff are so incredibly nice. My mother passed this past week and I will forever cherish the memories we made, conversations we had, over a nice hot bowl of ramen here.
Halfheartedly went here last night because we loved the previous restaurant at the same location. So glad we went. My daughters and I left in awe of how good it was, "the bomb" as they said. The food was so delicious that we are going back tonight. We especially enjoyed the curries and donburi. Only one selection for our pescatarian. Staff could not be nicer. Very busy, happy to see that for them.
I really enjoyed the food here! The Spicy Tonkotsu ramen is so similar to the Ryujin in downtown Sac which is so amazing! Highly recommend this place as they also have great service and a clean restaurant. Will come back here again for sure!
This place is ok. The Donburi rice bowls were better than the ramen. The Tonkatsu broth was a bit on the light side (good if you want a lighter broth). The Cha Shu had a nice extra touch with a flame sear. The noodles were disappointing, they tasted like they came out of a Sapporo Instant Ramen packet and had zero bounce to the texture.If you’re looking for a light bowl of ramen, then this is the place for you. But if you’re expecting thick, rich broth that coats your mouth, this is not the place.
