    Great food! But they are never able to take online orders either deliver or takeout. Very disappointing.

    No service other than someone dropped off our food. No greeting or hello and we had to figure out ordering and drinks ourselves. Nice looking restaurant and fun location. Tonkatsu ramen was so full of pepper we couldn't eat it. Fried chicken appetizer was delicious!

    The food is SO good. They offer ramen bowls that can be modified to your preference. This is a big win to personalize your meal. Also, the seating has tall booths so you feel a sense of privacy. Great date night spot without breaking the bank.

    In 2024 this place was the best ramen spot in the quad-city area, it reminded me of when I was stationed in Japan. Now, it's not even close, a shadow of what it used to be. They served luke warm chashu that's tough and the fat wasn't rendered fully. Their "ajitama" (marinated egg) was not marinated, it sat in soy sauce for maybe an hour and didn't have the iconic dark ring at all, pretty much just a soft boiled egg. The once AMAZING broth now tastes like it was watered down, made with something that got burnt and tastes like a cheap imitation of what it once was. This was THE ramen place that I recommended to everyone, now I'll be doing the exact opposite until next year when they fix whatever nonsense they changed. The best thing in my bowl were the bamboo shoots, which is saying something. Also, I was happy to pay the over the top prices before, because it was "Japan-accurate" ramen. Now this is not even worth half the price as it tastes like some amateur watched a tiktok and said "I can do that"
