  We were seated within 10 minutes, all four of us, even with the line out the door, and the staff were warm and hospitable the whole time. The place was buzzing from the moment we walked in to the second we left. The bowls came out nice & hot, which was exactly what you want on a night like that. The broth was rich but easy to drink, and it didn't leave me feeling heavy afterward.

  This was a wonderful dining experience. The food was pretty good, the service was excellent, and atmosphere was busy and loud. The inside of the restaurant is decorated like a hidden Japanese ally, with shop signs and lanterns, which was a neat touch. There were a lot of options on the menu. I ordered a combination; Tsukemen with a rice bowl of mixed sashimi. I found this to be fairly reasonably priced for the amount of food. The miso broth was not as spicy as I would have liked, considering I opted for spicy broth, though the person I was dining with thought my broth was very spicy. It didn't feel spicy to me, but I have a high tolerance for spicy hot foods.

  Come for the vibe, stay for the ramen and takoyaki. I don’t recommend the soba tho 🤷🏻‍♀️

  To start, Daikokuya had been my FAVORITE vegan ramen for almost 10 years now. I’m very sick and decided to splurge, spending $65 getting the vegan ramen and a separate dish for my partner to be delivered. This was my worst experience with the Vegan Spicy Sesame Ramen. Not only was it the spiciest it’s ever been, but i couldn’t taste any sesame at all. I honestly think whoever made it forgot to add any sesame oil to it. I’m disappointed on how much money we spent for my FAVORITE ramen to not taste good. My partner did enjoy his Steak Garlic Butter Rice.

  Tiene un buen sazón pero no me encantó ni me fascinó. La atmósfera y decoración sin duda son lo más destacado. El servicio está ahí, es lo esperado. Precios razonables.
