First time ever trying true ramen and was not disappointed! Got the MoMo chicken…delicious! Would literally bathe in the broth if I could. Awesome vibes too with great service. Will definitely be back. Oh, and they give you a cute token to get your fortune at the end of the meal…unique touch

Great ramen with DELICIOUS broth! I love the spicy Mr Spicy and like that there are pork meatballs instead of a fatty slab of pork other places use. Also get the apps – inari, dumplings, edamame… Their in house made sake is good, but I don’t drink sake much so have nothing to compare it to. Inviting environment and staff, and they play good music but it seems a little loud. You should check it out!

Food tasted as good as the best ramen, curry, and sushi that I had in Japan! Highly recommend. We ate here twice in a 3 day weekend.

Pleasantly surprised to find good sushi in IX Park! This place has all the wonderful artsy quirks of its surroundings, with a variety of seating and decorations, and soulful food. Next door to the Looking Glass immersive art area.

Everytime I have eaten at bad luck ramen has been a great experience. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Ramen broth and everything in it is delicious. Never really one to finish a whole ramen but when I come here I cant help but.

Cold bland broth. The pork was good. Always packed with slow service. Seems like it’s more of a trendy spot then a serious ramen location.

This spot is so fun. The food is interesting and a take on Japanese fair that is approachable and unique. But the star is the incredible sake.
