Stopped by this place as we were passing through Riverside and it did not disappoint!The ramen was delicious but the REAL surprise were the lemonades! I got strawberry lemonade and my friend got peach lemonade. They came in big 20 oz mason jars and they were THE BEST LEMONADES WE'VE EVER HAD, and I'm a lemonade aficionado—I always choose lemonade when it's an option at any restaurant.The ramen was of course delicious (especially the egg!), but be careful - it comes a little spicy by default unless you specify "no spice". I like a little spice but my mouth was definitely feeling it by the bottom of the bowl—very glad we had the 20oz lemonades!It did feel a little weird having no interactions with staff besides them bringing you the food, but it was just as easy as ordering online, which we've all been doing for 2+ years now anyway.
Food flavor was okay, no issue there. The restaurant closes at 10pm. I placed and order for additional food using the QR code around 9:35pm. Around 9:50pm I decided to ask the waitress if my order of dumplings was almost out as it shouldn't take that long to cook dumplings. The waitress goes back into the kitchen and out comes another employee who tells me they are closed and no longer making food. Note, I had placed the order with plenty of time and even then the restaurant was still open according to their hours sign. So because everything is placed and charged to your credit card using some online system, I wasn't able to remove the additional order that was not prepared for me. I ask one of the employees for assistance. She removes the extra order from my tab and charges me. I later get home and check the receipt that gets emailed to you and found out that the employee gave herself a tip without my approval. Pretty upset about that. Not only did I not get full and have to make a detour to Jack in the Box, but on top of that I felt like I was robbed of a few extra dollars.
The atmosphere was in fact very zen. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because no one greeted us upon arrival and the way you have to order is through QR code and either our phone service or the link was super slow. After trying multiple times to order finally someone came out to take our order. The food was delicious. We ordered the mushrooms tempura, the shrimp tempura, pot stickers, teriyaki chicken with fried rice, falling Ramen and the volcanic Ramen. The Ramen was my favorite. The mushroom tempura was cold in the middle.
Service was great !! The Ramen and the Milk Thai Green Tea was Delicious ?? ?!!
I went last tuesday before my work shift. It was my first time stopping by. I placed the order on a kiosk and I saw a couple already getting their food. I had a question on the ordering kiosk so I asked an employee. They were honest with me saying they were still new. He came back with the answer then I finalized my order. I enjoyed the dim lighting and the view of the street. I ordered the Spicy Miso Soup and it for sure had a kick of spice and I liked the noodles. I will definitely be back!
Got volcano ramen, drunken ramen, and chicken dumplings. They have a pretty convenient self order kiosk at the front which was nice. The food tasted good and the place has some pretty cool decor
Overpriced for what you get in my opinion. Average ramen. You're mostly paying for the aesthetic. waited over 30 minutes for a single bowl. If you're okay with that then this is your place.
Beautiful presentation of food, fantastic service and it ALWAYS tastes good. I've been here on special occasions and casually since I live close by, you won't find better ramen anywhere else. The rice bowls are a good gluten free option!
Best ramen I’ve had in a while! The vibe of the place is awesome too. Super nice server, & also not crowded so it was as the name implies. A really zen experience!
Shell in my food ! Didn't notice till I was eating my leftovers. Took Forever to get food! Forgot to add spicy pork to my bowl !Pork Buns had cold spots! Added garlic made unbearable and spicy ! Self serve station is unsanitary. .Cost was $55 for two people.. Will NOT return EVER ! Save your money and eat TapRamen.
