This place is so cute and delicious. Took my sister out for dinner and our meal was so fulfilling. Mine is the one pictured with spicy vegetarian tan tan. The broth was rich and hearty, with just the right amount of spicyness. Noodles cooked to perfection. Vegetables were crisp and not over cooked. We had a long wait but that was to be expected by how busy/popular they are (and for good reason). Our waiter was so cute (should have caught his name. Shorter without the tattoos) and even brought us mochi ice cream for the wait ❤️ Definitely will be back.

I have wanted to try this place for months and finally got around to it. This is place is ridiculously good ! Tucked away in a shopping center on Queen St. this is authentic ramen. The servings are massive and I got the Wonton Ramen and added the spicy tan-tan sauce, which I highly recommend. They also have a variety of Japanese beer and sake. I can’t wait to come back and try something different.

A must try restaurant in Lancaster City. The ramen was one of the best I've ever had. We also got the takoyaki as an appetizer. It was on point. Delicious food and great service. You can't beat it.

My first bowl of tan tanmen since we left Okinawa, Japan 2 1/2 years ago. It wasn’t as spicy or laden down with as much ground pork as you would get in Japan, but it was good.We tried to order their mochi donuts but their donut machine was broken. I wish Mr. Donut Japan would open a franchise in the states. Their pan de lion/pon de ring donuts are the original mochi donuts.The inside of the the restaurant mimicked a Japanese izakaya in a lot of ways. And the place wasn’t hurting for customers.So glad we stumbled upon this place on our way back to the parking garage. We had hoped to find something to eat at Central Market but that place was a madhouse and we bought nothing there.

This Japanese/Vietnamese owned restaurant is a must try if you love ramen, pho, or Asian flavors in general. The prices are definitely fair for the quality of food. I have tried the shoyu and the black garlic ramen and while they were both delicious I prefered the black garlic ramen a bit more. Definitely stop in if you're near by.

Great ramen but the service is absolutely atrocious. Been there twice in the past 6 months and both times I had to sit for over a hour just to get my food. The waiters/waitresses hardly check in on you besides when they bring your food or take your order. You'll be chasing someone down just to get your check...even know they could just bring it with your food since you pay up front.I'm assuming a lot of this is due to staffing shortages but until the issue is fixed you're much better off ordering carry out.

My wife and I went there with our 4 old, and we loved it, the place is so nice and good vibe, the staff was really nice to us. Specially for taking inconsideration my wife’s egg allergy, by putting a note and offering her to switch the noodles for rice noodles. Ramen was great!

Very good flavors! The pad thai is a bit mushy but the flavors really make up for it. Very complete and hits all the notes. Ramen broth is very rich and the pork was perfect.

? worst pho in Lancaster. The Noodles were congealed they didn't give bean sprouts or jalapeno. I had to pay extra for the sauces too. The customer service matched the quality of the food. I will not recommend this place to a tourist.

The Ramen here was really great. The broth was some of the best that I've had.
