I absolutely adore the ice cream sandwiches. I look forward to them every time so visit during the summer. I especially love when they have chocolate wafers and stracciatella. Only minor thing i wish there wasn’t sanding sugar in the cookies.

Great food (got noodles with pork), also tasty as leftovers, place is small so would be nice to have more space for privacy. Table lacked some essentials like napkins and such, but waitresses were pleasant and helpful. Parking could be better but it's downtown and walkable to other places nearby too.

Went after being recommended there Bao by a friend. The Bao was delicious and the hand-pulled noodles were tasty, however, the ramen was underwhelming(especially given dashi is down the street). The atmosphere was great but overall we thought the prices were high. We believe that they charge a lot because of the constraints of having a small space and paying your employees well. All things considered, I’d give it a try but expect a pricey meal.

Everything was super fresh and made to order. Very unique flavors and everything tasted great!The Macaroons WAY better than I anticipated. I thought they would be good.. but they blue my mind! Creme brûlée and coconut/strawberry were my faves!

Good outdoor space. Amazing food! Smells divine in the restaurant. Noodles, dumplings and fantastic desserts! There is a perfect restaurant.

We sat at the counter and had a cauliflower curry vegetarian dish and a spicy pork noodle dish - both were excellent!

Had the pork bun and beef/celery dumplings for an appetizer both great. Entree I had the braised beef with flat noodles and she had the miso Noodle Bowl which I highly recommend the braised beef with flat noodles.

Their ramen is one of the best I’ve had in North Carolina. The broth was very flavorful and the black mushroom texture was so amazing. Their ice cream sandwich was also 10/10 their dessert selection was diverse and everything looked so good. Will definitely come here again. And again…and again.

Let me start off by saying...Please, please DO support your local business by giving this place a try for yourself.Me personally, would give it a lower rating but only because of the smell. I gave this 3 ? because the first thought was "it's okay" and that is the description of 3 ?.Back to the smell... On multiple visits it's the same way.. It's very pungent, with a sharp contrasting uncomplimentary sweetness. I wouldn't even take any leftovers because I didn't want my car to smell.Combining the "it's okay" (in my opinion) food, with the overpowering smell, I doubt I'll make a 3rd attempt.I reiterate, Please... please GO AHEAD and try them out. Unless your olfactory nerves are as sensitive as mine, you may enjoy them.

Entrées were good but the dessert is like a North Korean grocery store front, great on the surface but lacking upon further inspection. Some advice for those who go here. Make sure you know you'll like the food before ordering it because the staff won't know what to do otherwise. Also be prepared to provide them with options on what to do with the item because you'll likely get asked what they're supposed to do about it in a rude manner. Overall the food was good but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth much like the dessert.
