Had the Akira Ramen, takoyaki, karage, and the 007 roll.Ramen was fine, nothing exciting, well balanced. I usually don’t like takoyaki but found myself devouring theirs. The Karage in the green sauce was amazing! And the 007 Roll was tasty enough.Overall, good Japanese izakaya that won’t break the bank!

It’s awesome and fantastic

I recommend the gyoza but not the ramen. The broth was too oily for my liking (you can see all of the excess oil in the photo). On the other hand, the gyoza were extremely delicious and flavorful.

I have mixed feelings with this place, because I’ve enjoyed dining in there and their food, but lately the service has been lacking and definitely winter is the WORST time to go there. If you seat closer to the entrance, walk-ins leave both doors open and yourself and your meal FREEZE (best time is summer I guess?), that day was really unpleasant and definitely not “cozy” lol. Please add a sign for the walk-ins, it’s nice for the people dining in already.If you are vegetarian, please tell your server to give you the plain broth (it’s less flavored for sure), because even the veggie ramen one does have shellfish and fish soup base.Would be great to add more vegetarian or vegan options.

Good food. Nice vibe. Kind staff.

Cool spot! They greet you heartily as you come in. I enjoyed the food and so did my friends, sadly my stomach got full too quick but when I go back I'll make sure I'm ready to indulge.

Friendly staff and delicious food.

Definitely a nice experience, Ramen and service was ok, my kids love it every time we eat here.

extremely kind and helpful staff!! amazing food as well

Don’t get me wrong-the ramen is 5 star. But the service is lacking. They seem to have allowed the food delivery services to take priority over their dine in service.
