    All Star ramen - incredible. Every component was excellent! Broth was silky and savory but not too rich, each of the meats (chicken, cha shu pork, and pork belly) was tender and astonishingly good, noodles were nice and chewy, just no complaints about anything. Ok minor nit because it was a bit too salty for me and for a few hours afterward I was guzzling water but that pales in importance to me next to the sheer flavor. That being said, we’ve also previously had the tantanmen and the spicy tonkotsu and both of those were pretty forgettable. Tantanmen was so thick it was like eating peanut butter. Definitely coming back for the All Star again, and would be interested in trying their non ramen dishes as well. Service was super friendly!

    I just had the most pleasant evening. The place was really busy but they found a seat for me at the counter. I got to watch Jenny at work making drinks and taking orders while others were filling sushi orders. Jenny recommended a couple of choices in food and sake after I told her what I was looking for. Her recommendations were spot on. I enjoyed them all. It was amazing watching Jenny filling the drink orders while taking care of all of us at the counter. The place just feels good.There was music, and it was full by the time I finished, but the atmosphere was friendly and efficient. I was easy to hear conversations. I will definitely go back next time I'm in town.

    Very Poor Experience – Not Worth the Hype Don’t go We visited Momosan as a family, and the experience was extremely disappointing. I was only 15 minutes late due to parking, and during that short time my family was already being rushed, pressured, and made to feel unwelcome. By the time I arrived, the food was on the table, but the staff’s attitude was cold and unprofessional. Within 10 minutes, we paid the bill and left — not because we were done, but because the environment made us uncomfortable. It honestly felt like we came only to pay and leave, not to enjoy a meal. The service was rushed, and only our table was pushed to move quickly while others were allowed to sit comfortably. The food itself was average at best, portions were small, and absolutely not worth the price. The hype on Instagram and review platforms is misleading. For what you pay (easily $35–$40 per person), the experience and food quality do not match at all. The attitude of the staff made everything worse. Very disappointed. Won’t be returning.

    Very poor service. We were constantly rushed to order because the staff said another party was coming in 30 minutes. Even though we clearly told them we were a family of six and one person would arrive in 15 minutes, they kept rearranging tables and asking repeatedly when will he come. Ordering was frustrating—the server would take one dish and walk away, returning later to take another, without giving us time to ask questions or discuss spice levels. Overall, an unpleasant and stressful experience.

    We visited as a family of six to try ramen for the first time. The staff were rude and unwelcoming. We had already ordered two dishes and were still looking at the ramen menu since we were new to the cuisine. They told us we had to leave because other customers were coming at 7:30, even though it was only 7:00 and we had just started eating. We felt pressured to leave within half an hour, which was very disappointing. We finished what we ordered. At last, after all this they want tip from us🙄
